Sathya Sai Baba Critic Serguei Badaev: An Incisive Voice of Conscience From
2009-11-02 11:16:00 Serguei Badaev was ex-President of the Sathya Sai Organization's Moscow centre, ex-deputy National Coordinator and National Sathya Sai Education in Human Values (SSEHV) Coordinator for Russia. Serguei Badaev is an incisive writer with a professional background (the physical sciences), whose writings critical of the Sai sect - no less than those of others who have raised critical questions - receive no answer from Sathya Sai Baba and his officials. Nor do they explain how those with years of loving, sacrificial and dedicated service to the Sathya Sai Baba organization (what to speak in their own professions and wider communities) should, practically overnight, become demons, naysayers, and defamers.
Kicking people until they have a conscience
2009-09-19 14:16:00 When I was seventeen, as part of the tests to graduate secondary school, we had to read three books from one author, and make short summary. I choose Louis-Paul ("Lowie") Boon, a Flemish writer, columnist, socialist and anarchist. He was not really educated. He was a house painter. But he was a born artist and story teller.He lived in poverty while he wrote his first book. After 400 pages of it, he discarded the relevance, and hung it from a string on his bathroom wall, so he could save on toilet paper. His wife took the manuscript, read it, took the last page and wrote on it: "Etcetera, Etcetera, Etcetera". She wrapped everything together in brown paper and sent it off to a publisher. It won the Leo J. Krijn Prize for literature.I did not read three books from Louis-Paul Boon. I got fascinated by him and read all of his books, about 30 or 40 by then. Some of the books had the size of an encyclopedia. And I did not write a summary, I wrote a 100 page thesis. My teachers collectively...

John McCain to vote his conscience
2009-08-04 02:52:00 Before we jump on Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) bones for supposedly disrespecting the Miguel EstradaHispanic community by announcing today that he is opposing the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, perhaps we should review the record.The same folks who today can conceive of no other reason why conservatives oppose Sotomayor than their supposed loathing of Latinos should read his complete statement. In it, McCain reminds us of the nasty campaign waged by the left wing against Miguel Estrade, a Latino who was nominated by President George W. Bush to the D.C. appeals court:However, an excellent resume and an inspiring life story are not enough to qualify one for a lifetime of service on the Supreme Court. ...
my conscience is on vacation in acute degeneration, willpower has sunk to a
2009-07-02 17:43:00 It won’t be after I put my dick in it. Here’s something you may not know, Internet: sitting around all week while on jury duty, waiting for hours upon hours to be called in and told to spit out your gum and asked how much you hate the blacks and also the jews, is a lot like an all-day trip to the DMV, possibly to have your car’s title and registration placed solely in your name after you get divorced. Except with jury duty, you’re able to pass the time daydreaming that maybe, just maybe, you’ll get to send someone to the chair by week’s end. Fingers crossed! Here’s a haiku I wrote about an experience I had outside city hall: It’s not that I can’t spare the thirty-three cents, hobo; I just choose not to. I know I ended that last line with a preposition, but haiku is a Japanese art form, and Engrish is far less grammatically rigid.

Gaza Massacre and Conscience | there is no peace without justice and freedo
2008-12-30 17:58:00 1.The code name of USA's 51st state, a.k.a. Israel's operation that has killed about 400 people (wounded nearly 2000) in Gaza, Palestine since 27 December and even today continually bombing the Gaza strip is called Operation Cast Lead, in reference to a Hanukkah poem by Israeli national poet Hayyim Nahman Bialik. The outrageous murder of human conscience is utterly depressive!2.How on earth someone can bring Hanukkah reference (a sacred day in Jewish calendar) to murder in cold-blood hundreds of people including innocent civilians, women and children is unthinkable. Already Bethlehem is a city on siege by Israel driving out the Arab and native Christians in silent mass expulsion. Such total disregard for anything sacred (and what is more sacred than human lives?) reminds me of Khalil Gibran's Madman:The Good God and the Evil God met on the mountain top. The Good God said, "Good day to you, brother." The Evil God made no answer. And the Good God said, "You are in a bad humour toda...

Reconstruct your conscience
2008-06-01 05:05:00 Some people interpret a conscience. You may describe this as an inner sense that prompts you to judge what is right and wrong in your own thoughts and behavior. Its the part of you that helps identify the 'right action' at the right time or criticizes others.What you may not realize is your conscience, as you sense it right now, is an untrustworthy guide. As we grow up, we adopt beliefs of others as a means of working through our own sense of what makes us who we are. Your self-worth grows- from there. That is to say you grow to mistrust your body and mind, based on what others think.Our conscious mind is in the process of forming, evolving and changing. Throughout your life, you periodically abandon ideas that no longer fit with how you think and how your view yourself. Underneath it all, you are uncovering your innate pattern of feelings. To discover that you deprive yourself of discerning and&n...

Christian registrar seeks conscience exemption
2008-05-21 21:58:00 Christian Institute says, "A Christian registrar, Lillian Ladele, is presenting her case to an employment tribunal after her Council employers refused to grant her a conscience exemption from registering same-sex unions.Miss Ladele, who currently works for Islington Council, has been a registrar for nearly 16 years. Before the Civil Partnerships Act came into effect in 2005 she asked to be excused from registering civil partnerships between same-sex couples because to do so would conflict with her religious beliefs.She has subsequently been disciplined by her employers, and other colleagues have been allowed to choose not to work with her because of her beliefs.Miss Ladele says that although the law requires local authorities to provide a civil partnership service, the requirement does not extend to individual registrars.Her case will be heard by an employment tribunal beginning on Tuesday, 20 May, and is expected to last four days. Miss Ladele's lawyers will argue to the tribunal ...

After Hillary, Voting With Conscience and Pride
2008-05-17 00:14:00 by Joel S. Hirschhorn This general election more than most will test the courage of voters to avoid lesser-evil strategic voting that has propped up our two-party plutocracy. People with intelligence and conscience must resist peer pressure and the temptation to vote against John McCain by voting for Barack Obama. Of course, a McCain presidency that pursues much of the same policies and values of the totally inept and morally bankrupt Bush administration is something to loathe. But lesser-evil voting sustains our corrupt political system. Many say they are voting for Barack Obama in a most enthusiastic and positive way. For me, this does not work. I see no compelling evidence in Obama's history that he has what it takes to be a true, solid reformer. All I see is a young, inexperienced terrific talker that has used slick rhetoric to sell himself. With intellectual and ideological elitism and an aura of superiority and academic smugness, he has suc...

In Good Conscience
2008-03-16 13:00:00 Being a person of conscience is never easy, especially during wartime when governments begin mass conscription to bolster their armed forces. Whenever drafting begins, the problems involved in dealing with conscientious objectors who, by virtue of their religious or political beliefs, refuse to serve in the military inevitably arise. Conscientious objectors (also known as COs or "conchies") in many countries were often allowed to serve in non-combatant roles (although there were frequent cases of COs being placed in military prisons where they experienced ill-treatment and abuse). When the United States entered World War II in 1941, there remained the problem of what to do with the estimated 72,000 COs who filed for exemption from conscription (approximately 0.15% of all draftees). Many of these COs belonged to pacifist religions (including Mennonites, Quakers and Seventh-Day Adventists) and it was these churches that spearheaded a new solution. The Civilian Public Service...

Ben Stein Still Needs A Conscience
2008-03-05 00:00:00 Time for a comment in response to the latest pro-business hosannas from one of our most visible conservative media shills (from this NYT column Sunday, where Stein basically tells both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to stop beating up poor ExxonMobil and, presumably, ?embrace their inner capitalist?)?First, ExxonMobil, like all the other gigantic integrated energy companies in this country, is owned not by a cabal of reactionary businessmen holding clandestine meetings in a lodge in the Texas scrublands (as Oliver Stone so brilliantly illustrated in ?Nixon?).ExxonMobil, in fact, is owned mostly by ordinary Americans. Mutual funds, index funds and pension funds (including union pension funds) own about 52 percent of ExxonMobil?s shares. Individual shareholders, about two million or so, own almost all the rest. The pooh-bahs who run Exxon own less than 1 percent of the company.When ExxonMobil earns almost $12 billion in a quarter, or $41 billion in a year, as it did in 2007, that mo...

I had to think about this for a few moments, as my feelings are clouded by my past decisions somewhat. I voted for Ralph Nader in 2000. I do not apologize for so doing because he was right – there really was not that much difference between the two parties that year. Nor do I believe that my vote for Gore would have delivered him the White House – several thousand of those who did vote for Gore were told that their votes did not matter. Of course, hindsight is always 20/20. If I had it to do over again… I don’t know what I would do. I voted for Nader out of a sense of defiant idealism – he seemed to be the only candidate willing to address the big issues head on. Corporate influence on the electoral process? Check. Corporate influence on healthcare, the environment, world trade? Check, check, and ...
Beware the sociopath No heart, No conscience, No remorse
2008-02-07 12:55:00 Most psychopaths are very arrogant and cocky. However, when charming a potential victim, they say all the "right" things and make you believe they are kind-hearted souls; not always, but often enough.The truth is, psychopaths are not altruistic and do not really care about friendships or ties. Guggenbuhl-Craig states that they are very talented at appearing much more humble than the average person, but are hardly so.A psychopath may claim, for instance (if he's from a low socio-economic class), that he dislikes rich people intensely, but at the same time, he will inwardly yearn and envy what they have.The psychopath is filled with greed inside, relating to the world through power, even though, as I said, on the outside he can claim to be on the side of the disenfranchised or the downtrodden.As mentioned, psychopaths often claim to settle for second best (being their own worst enemy) and then think they deserve better. This may be manifested in the way they seek power -- either thro...

James Dobson Will Not Vote For McCain As A "Matter Of Conscience"

In one phase men seem to have been right, in another they seem to have been wrong. Then again, a few years later, when the perspective of time has lengthened, all stands in a different setting. There is a new proportion. There is another scale of values. History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes and kindle with pale gleams the glory of former days. What is the worth of all this? The only guide to a man is his conscience, the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and the sincerity o...

The Conscience of Angelo Mozilo
2008-01-29 01:43:00 Angelo Mozilo's behavior concerning his severance package from embattled mortgage lender Countrywide (CFC) reminds me of a toddler caught stealing candy from a store. Somehow Mozilo thinks that if he puts back the money, nothing bad will happen to him.If you recall, Mozilo was slated to receive $115 million in cash and stock plus perks after selling the troubled lender to Bank of America (BAC). The outcry of the largess in the face of the credit crisis prompted The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to "invite" the CEO to testify about - tens of millions of dollars in severance payments and other compensation. I request that you be prepared to provide your perspective on this reported pay package.I suppose Mozilo thinks that if his pay package disappears, there will be nothing to testify about. The question of his sudden stock sales all last year in the face of mounting company losses seem like an interesting topic to me and I'd love to hear what the House commi...
