Perspective...

So many things depend on a person's perspective that I wonder if we all perceive things the same. This is hard to explain, but I'm going to try anyway...

From the time we are born, we are told that when we look at the crayon that has green written on it, it's called green. What I'm trying to wrap my brain around is the possibility that in another person's mind they could be seeing what I call red, yet they have been trained to call it green. We all have different eyes, and no one really knows if my perception of green is the same as another person's perception of green. Really it's possible that I've been stopping at lights that if you were looking through my eyes and translating the signals through my brain, you might drive through. The whole process depends on perspective.

We can take that same concept to taste, sound, or any other sense that the human brain translates from electrical impulses sent by our nerves. This whole perspective thing might explain why people have different favorite colors, or why one person likes broccoli, but another person does not. What if when I eat broccoli, I taste what another person perceives as ice cream, and when that person eats broccoli, they taste what I perceive as pickled beets? That certainly would explain why they wouldn't eat it.

The magic store...

Does anyone else not care what happens to Paris "who gives a crap" Hilton?

Why does she make the news? I suppose it's probably because we all know she's filthy rich, and it's fun to watch someone with something to lose, screw up. Hell she might as well get married to Al Gore's son, at least that way they could get a group discount with their lawyer. After the sex video, what more is there to see?

I've often wondered how involved people like that are with politicians. Do you think Hollywood and Washington coordinate their events to keep us looking the wrong direction? Think about it, Al Gore's global warming concerts are tanking miserably. So in order to work a little slight of hand magic, he sends Al Gore Jr to get busted for pot (drug light) so we'll all feel sorry for his family problems. The media spends a whole week talking about the bust, the cops role, the rehab, and the pressure this puts on Al and Fifi (or whatever her name is).

I just can't figure out which party Paris is tied into. Her little jail fiasco coincided quite nicely with the Illegal Amnesty bill our elected representatives tried to ram down our throats a few weeks ago. It's really sad that we allow them to use race and class warfare on us so effectively. There were hundreds of stories about how the rich white girl was going to get away with not doing her time, and if she were black, or poor, or both, she would be locked up blah, blah, blah...

If the media isn't getting the job done distracting us, they call up the Reverend Jesse "extortion" Jackson and the Reverend Al "race baiter" Sharpton to stir the pot. What church do those two media hounds preach in anyway?

While we're all arguing over the crumbs of our society, Washington is busy trying to sell the country to Mexico. I still can't believe that GW wanted to sign the bill that would dissolve this country, on Independence Day. I wonder how the history books would have written that little piece of irony?

If cinco de Mayo is Mexican independence day, what were they going to call July 4th?? I suppose after they renamed the country the United States of Mexico, Coors would still need a holiday in July to sell beer to the Mexicans. They could just chrome plate the Washington monument and rename it the "Silver Bullet".

Maybe tomorrow I'll try something a little lighter...
