BORN THIS WAY FOUNDATION: Launching a movement
I was deeply moved by the launch of the Born this way foundation that took place today at Harvard. It’s very nice to finally see someone use their fame for something that truly matters, as you have done many times before with everything you can.
MUSIC REVIEW; Embracing Broadway And Dylan
When Laura Benanti was born in New York City in 1979, she emerged from the womb covered in sawdust and pancake makeup, squalling Theres No Business Like Show Business. Thats a metaphor, of course, for the sensibility of this rising star who won a Tony Award for her portrayal of Louise in the recent Broadway revival of Gypsy. This Broadway - Stephen Holden reviews performance by Laura Benanti as part of the American Songbook series at the Allen Room. Photo (M)0 - By STEPHEN HOLDEN

Pop Jon Pareles Blues guitarists revered HUBERT SUMLIN, who died at 80 in December.

Survey of the Issues - What kind of change are you looking for? Please choose A or B for each topic ?
Please choose A or B for each topic and sometimes C?
Abortion:
A) It is not your body, get over it. Freedom of Choice.
B)Where is the babies choice. I thought we were to be a voice for the voiceless and defend the innocent. Protect and serve I thought that was in our constitution
Freedom of Choice. Let the Baby have a choice. Life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness. With out life the other two are Mute.
Housing:
A) A mess because some evil folks want to profit.
B) I thought it was because everyone had the right to own a home, and the government stuck it’s hands into the free market, government regulation forcing private business and creating a partial governmental housing lending institution which had to loan money to people who could not possibly pay it back, In order to be fair to everyone and guaranteed they would pay defaulted loans. Which increased true led to a huge market for sub-prime loans instead of just one or two investors the government took all the risk out of the game and now is making good on that guarantee they made.
Immigration:
A) Yes, that is how we all got here.
B) Ellis Island ring a bell
How he would handle relations with Iran:
A) By talking to them.
B) I thought we have been talking to them for like 30 years now I mean 60. Hmmm I guess history is relative
Economy:
A) Taxes raise money to pay off debts.
B) Pay cuts for Politicians is out then. No reason to expect them to live on 40/50k a year like the average middle class family right? For the people by the people is no longer a legitimate freedom. Cutting programs that don’t work is out of the question also.
Cutting spending on programs that don’t need all the money they get that is also not reasonable, some programs actually have to go out looking for participants in order to meet quota and keep the existing funding, like you have to spend what you got last year in order to get the same amount or more the next year and when they are not going to spend all the money they buy anything in order to make the deadline, so actually doing something about that would not help budget problems.
Oh the list goes on but what ever, yeah raise taxes that is the best way to accomplish fiscal responsibility on our government.
The situation in Iraq:
A) Ask Iraq what they want.
B) Ok
C) Does innocent blood shed or genocide or 9/11 have any bearing to the situation or action implemented
Energy:
A) Find something we can make ourselves.
B) Ok to A, have at it, let me know when you get that done. Because you know there are no scientists in the USA or anywhere else in the world working on that one.
C) Let’s just keep depending on other countries and destroying their resources then we can worry about using ours
Gay rights:
A) How about everybody gets human rights?
B) Sure agreed- Polygamy, Lets lower age of consent to lets say 2 years old – there are millions of folks who will vote for this one, I like dogs and I want to do mine so bestiality too cause my dog loves me unconditionally so who has the right to tell me right from wrong not you I live in America and love is love. Besides I was born this way I have always liked animals and fantasized about being with one.
C) Rights have a foundation and the foundation is paved by love – Like a mother or father who loves their child.
Environment:
A) God wont fix it... We have to
B) We are called to be good stewards of the Earth and that is all we can do. So who made the sun? How do we get up to the Sun and fix it? Scientist are working on a rocket though that will withstand that heat so yes agreed
C) Do not worship the Creation but the Creator. Arrogance and Pride is unbecoming of such intelligent creatures
Free trade:
A) I like free stuff. Make goods others will buy.
B) Yep – agreed – the free market works every time
Social Security:
A) Keep your capitalist paws off of it. It is not yours.
B) Hmmmmm Social Security is everyone’s I thought. I thought what was mine was yours and what is yours is mine? Isn’t that the Social Security principle. Guess I need to go back to school.
Guns:
A) Hunting guns yes. Murdering guns no. (AK47)
B) When there were no guns there was no murdering. No death, No crazies.
And I thought the 2nd amendment was established to make sure we the people could always have a militia incase the federal government (like in socialist and communist countries) got to big for its britches and we the people needed to defend ourselves against it. So if the USA Army has tanks and AK47’s and we have 22 pistols and shotguns well Hmmmmm.
Stem cell research:
A) Lets learn all we can to better ourselves.
B) Ok Adult stem cells have already proven effective and we have cures for diseases from adult stem cells so lets explore that and get all we can with it. Then we don’t have to cultivate human or whale fetuses for the purpose of destruction. Breed to feed doesn’t sound so compassionate to me.
Health care:
Uhhhh no they are different I really wanted a,b,c, answers for real
Yeah I know, You are right but…… the survey is longer but I could not fit it all sorry plus yeah I know there are other angles but just pick which is closets it Is hard to please all the people all the time Sorry :)
Hey I had to put this thing together LOL - not like I am some pollmatician or something LOL :) thanks for playing along for those of you who took time to read questions :)
Answer: Wow, we can't tell which ones you're for! LOL You made some good points though. I would like to see if anyone takes the time to choose which ones they agree with. I know what I believe. Finding a candidate who actually implement my beliefs is another thing.
A A B B C A C B B B B B I'm choosing these as the ones that come closest but seriously, you didn't give all the arguments. I would have said something different for a lot of the questions.

AT HOME WITH PETER BEHRENS; Peter Behrens, the Novelist, Makes a Winter Home in Marfa
MARFA, Tex. COME February, a lifetime or so ago, when Peter Behrens was in his 20s and still wrangling cattle in the Canadian Rockies, he would leave Sundre, Alberta, and drive south in a 1952 Chevy farm truck, with six canoes in tow, to lead white-water expeditions on the lower canyons of the Rio Grande.

What is the cheapest and best way to install an island stove and sink in a home with cathedral ceilings?
I would like to add an island in my home that includes a sink and a stove. I would like to have the exhaust unnoticeable, preferably under the flooring but I have a concrete foundation and cathedral ceilings. Can this be done without demantling my home and without selling my first born?
Answer: What you want is a downdraft ventilation system. The vent would actually be recessed into the cabinet unit until you need it and then it basically glides up.
I imagine that you're do a complete remodel because you want a sink in the island. Everything else would be relatively inexpensive, but the plumbing has the potential to be expensive because I dont know where the plumbing lines are located.

Does anyone else ever feel this way in life?
Nobody asks to be born.
In the society I live in, the idea is that children are born to parents who will love them and nurture them and protect them from harm, and the children will get a good education, grow up and then get a job and eventually settle down with children of their own and the whole cycle starts again.
Im 18 and still in third level education. In my short life up until now I have suffered things that nobody should have to go through, from childhood to now, all due to the fact that my parents have not fulfilled their roles properly and have sometimes done the opposite. I know that Im not the only one and there are countless other children out there who have it much worse than me.
How can we live in a society that allows this kind of needless suffering and harm to the innocent?
Life is so unfair. Society doesnt have a proper foundation. It seems to be all based on greed and selfishness.
Im 18 now and after all these years, I still feel the same as I felt when I was in primary school, lonely and isolated, or even long before that when I was 4 years old and my mother told me to leave her alone, or when I walked into my new classroom full of new classmates and felt so lonely and vulnerable.
I have to go to school to finish my education. I have to study for and sit big horrible exams because this is the way of the society I was born into. I have to spend every day around people I have very little in common with and cant really relate to and who dont care about me. Every time I care about someone, I just end up hurt and made a fool of. I dont feel safe or wanted at home but have no means of moving out and supporting myself. I have a talent for art and want to study it at third level and pursue my dream career as a fashion designer. But in day to day life I dont even have the ime or energy to prepare for this or improve my skills because Im too busy doing all the things I have to do to get by in school, studying things that Im not interested in. I have to finish school and I have to do reasonably well and I know that I could do very well but school work doesnt come first to me because it means nothing to me. I already have a life full of worries without school and no room in it for the things I actually need and want in my life.
Answer: I know how you feel.
Sometimes you feel trapped in your reality. People tell you that you're young and you have a life ahead of you, but they never told you how consumed you'd be by your current reality. They never told you how you'd had to wait what it seems a lifetime from here to there. And they never told you how much you'd have to suffer, because unfortunately, a lot of us suffer most when we're young.
I lived with my grandparents all my life and my mom pretty much came to live with me when I was 11. At that point, I wasn't used to her presence or company lingering around all day, I know it sounds horrible of me to say, but I hated it. At first I was excited because I thought she would actually pay attention to me and my younger sister, like we would be a family and then move out and I'll get used to her. But things didn't go that way. My mom is a person that needs a man to feel complete. Her children don't do much to fulfill her. Everything she would do for us was pretty much forced. She got into these extra curricular classes I was taking when I was younger that I really liked and ruined it because she ended up taking more of it's time for herself. It's like I couldn't even be a kid because I had to deal with a bigger kid. In the end I ended up almost being her mom, giving her advice, and when i confided in her, she would betray me.
She's apologized several times to me, but she's always done something (huge, not miniscule so you know where I'm coming from) to prove to me time and time again that she's just an immature, self-obsessed person who never grew up or developed a sense of motherly instinct. I've had things happen in my family thanks to her that have been pretty traumatic, things that were targeted towards me and at the end of the day, they weren't even true.
This took a tole on me emotionally, and it drained me spiritually and physically. When people can be so cynical as to have other people side with them because they're prepared to be hypocritical all the time and you're just too tired to even explain what's truly going on, so you flip them off.
I thought I hated her for a while, but I realized that I don't. She just doesn't feel like my mother. I love her the way you'd love probably a cousin or uncle, but not like a mom. It's tough going through life not feeling supported because while you're growing up you have to deal and cope with someone who only cares for themselves. But that's life. And I can really say that thanks to things like that I've grown more independent and learned to rely on myself. I dropped out of school in 10th grade and did this fast track high school diploma course (similar to a ged). Somehow I graduated with a 3.84 gpa when in school I was failing. It was the best thing that ever happened to me and it was the point in my life where i realized i can keep on moving academically. I take my sats next year on january 22nd and i'm going to a university far from where i live (out of state actually) next fall semester.
You can do what you want to do with your life at the end of the day. But like the saying goes, don't give up. Don't stagnate your opportunities or your life because of the insolent people around you. They're truly not worth you crying for. You have to learn to love yourself, even though it's hard, but it's the one love that you can count on when everyone else fails.

Trial of U.S. Nonprofit Workers in Egypt Is Put Off
CAIRO — The politically charged trial here of employees of four American-backed nonprofit groups was adjourned Sunday less than two hours after it began, amid signs that the case was growing into a broader indictment of Egypt ’s alliance with the United States. Until the last minute, United States diplomats made a high-level push to - By DAVID D. KIRKPATRICK and MAYY EL SHEIKH
Wheres MY Self Confidence??
How do I begin to feel more confident with myself?
I know Im shy and quiet, and I was born that way and it runs in the family I guess. My dad is the same way so I am guessing I got it from him.
I am 22 years old, female. I feel like Ive been stuck at the same place for all my life.
I want to know how to open up and express myself with feelings. I always feel like everything I do is not me, its like Im just putting on a show or something and I am tired of it. Theres more to life, and a lot of things/goals I want to achieve but I am afraid. afraid of being judged or being told Im wrong.
I moved here from Africa 7 years ago and still find it hard to adjust. Everything in America is fast passed it seems, people are free to say whatever whenever and do whatever. I didnt have that choice growing up.
I am in school right now. Working on my Accounting degree. This type of study I know requires you to be out there, networking and socializing with people. However, I can get myself to do that. I am extremely shy around people and always think people are judging me, therefore causing me not to fully focus on what I want.
The American culture is very different from where I come from, I would swear I havent met any shy, quiet, reserved person since I moved . To me everyone seem like go getters, especially the natives. I want to build a foundation for myself and be successful in life.
What advice Can you give me in order for me to do just that? What should I do to once in a while just laugh out loud because I feel like it or talk and say whatever even if people do not agree with what I am saying, or just get up and dance because I want to? You Know what I mean?
Thanks in advance
Answer: Pick a different field of study. Every job in the world, I think, requires socializing with people. Accounting will require you to have major social ability. From what I have read, you would be better someplace else.

What are your opinions on makeup?
This has been bugging me a lot lately. Im a girl and a junior in high school and I have never had a desire to wear makeup. I actually do wear a little foundation and powder stuff, but only because my skin is oily and I only do this because I feel more comfortable, not how it makes me look. Anyway, I just wanted to rant about how so many girls feel like they absolutely have to wear makeup. To me the goal of most makeup seems to be mainly to cover flaws and enhance your features. The "natural look". Theres nothing natural about trying to make your natural self look better. I would wear black lipstick, bright eyeshadow, and feather eyelashes before I would go for a subtle look. Natural means the way youre born, not the way photoshopped models look. A typical, sane guy these days would never wear makeup and its normal. But if a girl has a little acne or some tired looking eyes, she must do something about it. By no means am I talking about every person out there - there are plenty of beautiful girls who dont rely on makeup. One day my friend said something about feeling ugly without mascara or something when shes so freaking pretty the way she is. This just makes me so mad. Sorry for the rant. What are your opinions?
Lionheart - Thats my point. Its pathetic to need makeup for confidence.
Okay Lionheart, now youre Mac...
tasha - Again, if you need self comfort then you dont accept yourself. If a guy thinks his lips are funny looking, do you think hell wear lipstick to cover his flaws? Probably not. And no, actually, Im not a stuck up little brat. Apparently I am just more comfortable than you in my own skin.
Im not saying that wearing makeup is completely wrong, I mean its fun to experiment with different looks. Im just saying that its sad how girls they cant live without it.

How can I convince my parents to let me sponsor an animal?Born Free Foundation?
I have been looking at this site and i really want to adopt an animal on it but my mom wont let me. She got very mad when i asked and shes says its a waste of money, she says :they dont actually help the animals and the money goes to some millionaire who owns the site. She also said im not old enough to use my money wisely. Its just really pissing me off because she lets me use her credit card to buy CDs and movies online all the time but when i want to do something charitable she makes me feel like the worst person in the world. She says its a selfish thing to do because it "makes me feel good about myself." She even started saying i have insecurity issues because i want to help animals so bad. wtf!
She learned that from her stupid religion. I believe my money will help somewhat, even if its just a little, but I need to convince her, she wont even give me a chance. Ive always wanted to help animals but have no time at the moment because of graduation and whatnot , also social anxiety disorder stops me from volunteering with animals and everything else I could do to help. I could spare money, I have a job and i spend tons on music and junk, so why not this?
Help me prove to her its a reliable site, :(
i love the movie born free and the story of christian the lion and i want to help wildlife. im 17 by the way, cant get a credit card until im 19 here.
http://www.bornfree.org.uk/give/adopt-an-animal/
also i think this site is better than the World Wildlife Foundation and all those others because they have regular updates and have actually managed to get petitions signed and passed.
Answer: do some research about the website and show it to your mom and tell her that rather then spend money on junk and stuff you want to try and help the world also mention you would volunteer at a plave in your town but you cant because of your social problem good luck and i hope she says yes because every lil bit does help

Christians, if you were born into a Muslim family, would you still be a Muslim?
The question applies just as easily to Muslims, but since there are more Christians around here, I want to hear what they have to say... I was born into a Muslim family and went Atheist, as did MOST Muslims who chose not to be Muslim anymore...
Think deeply of your answer -- because justifications for hell tend to fall apart when one puts themselves in others shoes -- they did for me, at least.
By the way, I love TRUE Christians who will answer me with LOVE, TOLERANCE, and RESPECT... might I remind you that this is the foundation of Christianity... lets be nice to the mean old Atheist with Islamic Background... ;) Im messin with ya...
The sneer on my Avatar is not malicious, by the way... I chose that face because I am generally an angry person... Just thought Id put that out...
This question really helped me love others...
Answer: Good question.......my answer for me is that I am a religious person. If I was born into that predicament, I may still be in that predicament.

BORN THIS WAY FOUNDATION
This Way, Towards Bravery Where Youth Are Empowered. This Way, Towards Acceptance Where Humanity is Embraced. This Way, Towards Love Where Individuality is Encouraged.
For All Born Again Believers! What Do You Think About This Article I Wrote?
Most Christians today have volumes of commentaries from their favourite theologians that they use to guide them through the Bible. Each theologian explains in great detail what he thinks the passage in question means. These commentaries form the foundation of their faith. They become the tool that is applied to every aspect of interpreting the true meaning of Scripture.
Allegiance to the theological system is considered one of the main tests of obedience to God and to question the system becomes a heresy and an anathema worthy of excommunication and damnation, since very often the content of the system is tied up in its particular understanding of the Gospel.
Walls are built up between denominations and the higher and more doctrinally developed they are, the more entrenched each side becomes.
While obviously not on the same level as the inspired Scriptures, the hearers of the Apostles offer us the earliest, and therefore the best, evidence we have of what authentic Christianity is.
It is these men and there writings that we should use as our primary commentary, not the commentaries of men of a different culture, language and era who wrote hundreds or thousands of years later.
By a process of simply cross-referencing the teachings of these earliest witnesses with the teachings that we have accepted without question from our much later teachers, we can arrive at a far more accurate assessment of the “faith once delivered the saints” (Jude 3)
Does what they believe square up with what I am told I must believe in order to remain in my religious affiliation?
If truth is important, and I’m assuming you’re reading this because you think it is, then it is incumbent upon us that we examine the foundation of what we believe. In fact I will go on to say that it could be a matter between heaven and hell, that we do so.
Without foundations buildings crumble, they are laid down in order to support and maintain a structure. They are the strength of a building. Foundations always come first. And the question we must ask ourselves is “What is the foundation of the Church?” Ephesians 2:20 tells us that the Church is built upon the foundation of the Apostles and prophets, Jesus being the head cornerstone. Also Jesus said in His Sermon on the Mount that the wise man built His house upon strong foundations and He tells us that that foundation is His teachings. So the foundation of the Church is the teaching of Jesus, His Apostles and His prophets (Those other Apostolic men, not part of the 12, who wrote Gospels and epistles).
Some denominations attempted to restore to Christianity its vitality and life, but in doing so robbed it of its foundations. One way to look at it is like this: The ancient historic churches had kept the outer shell of Apostolic Christianity, but had lost the spirit of it, and like James says the body without the spirit is dead (James 2:26). But then other groups of Christians came along, and noticing this dead orthodoxy and worldliness, ripped up the whole foundation, imagining that they were still standing upon it and rebuilding original Christianity.
It is clear that all Church groups have much to learn from each other, and what a wonderful day it would be when we could all unite under One, Holy, Apostolic and Universal Church - united under Jesus and the Apostles doctrine, not some theologian or charismatic leader.
Most, if not all, church groups, have some claim to the doctrine and teaching of the Early Church, and when they do they normally like to announce it to all. Some groups hold many of the same practices of the Early Church, other’s are very similar in their church structure, others hold some of the same doctrines. But isn’t it a bit dishonest to herald these similarities while at the same time rejecting other doctrines and practices as wrong just because they don’t match what we believe or have been handed down? Who do you think would have a better understanding of the Apostles doctrine than the disciples of the Apostles? True , those men were not perfect, but neither are we, and truth always precedes error. Meaning that for something to be corrupted it must have been first pure. Christianity is not a slow revelation of truth through the centuries, but a deposit of truth to be handed down faithfully from generation to generation.
When confronted with real evidence that our church has got some things very wrong in its foundational doctrine, most of us actually attempt to suggest that maybe the earliest Christians had it all wrong. It is true that those Christians were not inspired, and that some heresy did creep in, but to simply brush them all aside in favour of a modern theologian cannot be considered honest. When we all admit that a return to “The faith ONCE delivered to the saints” is needed, then perhaps we will finally see the power, unity and love that those first Christians had.
Full text at: www.radicaldisciples.blogspot.com/2010/10/evangelical-honesty.html
Answer: I agree. We should get back to grass roots and listen rather than develop faith in the thoughts of people who wrote the commentaries! Wasn't the Holy Spirit sent to lead us into all truth?

OUT THERE; Theres More to Nothing Than We Knew
Why is there something, rather than nothing at all? It is, perhaps, the mystery of last resort. Scientists may be at least theoretically able to trace every last galaxy back to a bump in the Big Bang, to complete the entire quantum roll call of particles and forces. But the question of why there was a Big Bang or any quantum particles at all was - By DENNIS OVERBYE

How can I gain awareness and get support,sponsership etc.for a new non profit foundation Im building?
Ive discovered and accepted that a big part of my purpose in life is to start and run this big foundation in order to Help Anyone and Everyone overcome whatever obstacles that are hindering their lives,regardless of Anything,including finances-So,they can become the person they were Born to be.So Many people need Help,and dont know there is Help,so they stay caught up in the Insanity of Destruction We See Happening Every Day
.There Is a Solution for Everything,and well be there Every step of the way.
It will also be a foundation bringing together Every Person,Group,Organization(etc) in order to Support each other,and combine All of our Knowledge,Ideas,Energy,Passion,Care and Love to Implement and Promote programs that Do work,Help Tweek the ones that need Tweeking,and Create New exciting programs and solutions so Every Person can Achieve Happiness and Success.

Indidually Were Doing Great,Together Well be Making Miracles Happen.
We Have to Do Everything We Can to not let Anyone Slip through the Cracks and Never Have to Say"What If....)
Ive been doing Everything I can think of to take this to the public,but Unfortunatly,it seems as though no one that could help,will help until its launched,and I cant lauch it unless I get more support and Help-its a vicous cycle that has to Stop!
I can do most things on my own for now,but I Have to get help for the web site,and putting together everything into a Professioal format.
Were going to save milions of Lives,and Well Never Get Anywhere if We dont Start Somewhere"
Any positive suggestions will be Greatly Appreciated.Thank you for your time!!

Answer: funding for Voluntary organisations is really tough nowadays
What you need to do first is list the
Main Aims and Objectives-in the form of a Consitution.
which is a legally binding document,which you will require to be accepted and registered as a genuine and lawful charity
and with the huge list you have you are going to struggle
You won't get funding or sponsorship, unless your are more precise
in your aims, and you can prove that there is no other charity doing the same work.

God decides who He hates before theyre even born. How can you continue believing that "God loves all"?
Read Romans 9:9 through 13.
9For this is the word of promise, At this time will I come, and Sarah shall have a son.
10And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
11(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
By the way, He said that, when she had the babies in her womb. (12) He said two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels, and the elder shall serve the younger. You know that those babies had not been born when the Lord God made that pronouncement. And the concept is that you are either a Jacob or an Esau in this life. And if you are a Jacob, the Lord God, THROUGH NO CONDUCT OF YOUR OWN, fixed His love upon you before the foundation of the world, and you will be born into this world and strive against sin and you will die and you will make it to heaven. Or, you are an Esau... and you will NEVER have a clue, and you will be never learning and never be able to come to knowledge of the truth and you will be a worker of inequity and continual wrong, and you will die and split hell wide open. So then He goes on and says: 13 "Jacob Have I Loved; Esau Have I Hated."
How can you continue believing that God loves all - that biggest lie of all?
Answer: I wonder how long it'll take before this question is deleted. The entire Bible is a rip off of Jewish and Pagan religious texts. There are bound to be some contradictions.
Well, it looks like your question stood strong. A comment to moir whatchamacallit; if God predetermined Esau's fate and made it so, then he is responsible for it. How can you say he deserved it? And if God knows all things, why test his people? If he's all-knowing, he already knows the outcome of every test he runs. So why run the test?
