How about inviting SM Steve, who has been posting here on LUSENET, and I find very interesting, respectful and thought-provoking (and Wildman, he's a guy!) :)

Can you tell us which sites he's posting on, or link to some of his posts? I tried a Google search, but only came up with one hit for him, on Freedom (Lusenet version). I am vaguely aware of his name, but that's about all I can say at this point.

I believe fear has always been used as a method of control.Even parents use it to keep their children under control.Most of what people worry about will never happen. When I was a child in school we had drills to hide under the desk in preperation from a possible nuclear attack from the Solviet Union. Today there is no Solviet Union , so now there is Terrorist. Someone ? did attack on 911, but all the fear in the world wouldn't have prevented it .I kind of fear going on the Interstate, which is the most likely place I feel I have of getting hurt from careless drivers who take unnecessary risks I think of them as Terrorist .But I just use caution.Most people fear things they have no control over. Some people think if they use violence they can stop the things they fear.But then they allowed their fear to control them into becoming violent. Now violence becomes something they have no control over and it controls them. Most of the worlds violence comes from fear and control.Ever have a buck goat push his head on you. The harder you push him back, the harder he keeps pushing.But if you pet him gently with no resistence , after a while he learns to stop pushing .The more you resist things in life the more resistence you get back.Ease up have no fear , don't resist and fears disappear. It like a toy I once had from China town. It was a finger trap. It's a woven tube of some kind of plant materail. You stick one finger from each hand in each end of the tube . When you pull hard to get your fingers out it gets tighter and it's strong material , so your fingers are trapped and stuck . When you ease up and stop resisting, you can gently remove your fingers. It's a very educational toy .I had one when I was about 6 years old, and it cost about 10 cents.I never argue with people , I give them no resistence to sustain the arguement. But then some people like to argue and wouln't want this advise .

Patty I think alot of the lose of rights and freedoms is the cause of an over populated world.Also from a majority of people who have no respect for others and abuse freedoms..Wal- mart has a scanner at the exits and cameras all over the stores.When you leave wal-mart you are being electronically search without your permission without a search warrent ,That's against the 4th amendment ..Why ,I think because people have no respect for the property of others and take things without paying. Also some are being resticted to not have farm animals on the land they want to purchase. Over population and close living create this law . I'd just move to a place that the rules are compatable to my desires .I found it funny when road blocks were set up last year in this area looking for escaped convicts who were jailed for murder.The police looked in the windows of each car before me , and after me , in line at the road block and they skipped me like I was invisble...I believe because no one can give me rights , no one can take them away...I seem to project this on people who I come in contact with...Anyone whom I thought was giving me a problem and was trying to restict me , I found latter in time their negativity actually benifited my life in a way I couldn't see at the time I felt resticted . Rights are an illusion of the material plane (World ).Believe you were given rights , then you will believe they can be taken away.The fear of losing your rights will weaken your composer and break the aura around you that protects you from the weak ones who insist the illusion of the material world is truth...I'm probably sounding like a lunatic.... Nothing new ..The only one who can take your rights away is yourslf , with your fears. And the illusion of the material world is not truth, so it has nothing to sustain it's consistency. There fore yesterday was slavery, today might be freedom , tommarow might bring slavery , and in 30 decades there might actually be peace and 40 decades latter war again .The illusion of the material world constantly changes. Don't get trapped in the illusion. And don't take mine or anyone else's opinions , find the truth through an opened and kind heart on your own. I think this hot weather has fried my brain , Again. And don't hold my ignorance against me.

This one from FSR forum, and for some reason it ticked Doreen off!

Well again I will make a statement that proves how ignorant I am in an attempt to throw off the Feds who monitor these forums and prove how harmless ( Crazy ) I am toward their plot to put everyone who steps out of line in a cage .Now my writings are part influenced by a song that words: "Paronoia lies deep, into your heart it will creep , it's starts when your always afraid, step out of line , the men comes and takes you way". Now I believe there are people (mostly white U.S. Americans ) who want to over throw the government we have now.They are digrunted with buisnesses that are going over seas and causing lose of decent paying jobs, that they've become dependent on to sustain their life styles ,They feel they have been betrayed by this and their now government .They have had the flow of the milk and honey for soo loong they've become like fat loyal house dogs , that have been conditioned out of all their natural instincts , and now thrown-out into the woods to figure out how to eat on their own without the old table scraps and dry dog food.They are angry that our society is starting to tolerate gay peoples desires to express themselves openly in society, some even flaunting their non mainsteam sexual preferences , just like hetrosexuals do , In Public . They are mad that some Afican Americans are getting educated and getting employment positions in society beyond the porters, waiters ,janitors, and cotton pickers of the past ,to lawyers , doctors, bankers , school principals , politictions, judges. The fact that most African Americans have ancestors that have been in the U.S. for longer than a lot of whites has not made their progress more acceptable. They are angry at the foreigners who are becoming successful at owning and running stores and hotels , even though they may not be born here in the U.S. or even been in the country a long time. And now the government is even going to let non citizens vote. And some White Americans are fearing that non white races are growing at a faster pace than the white races , and anyone with 3rd grade math skills knows this will leave the white race as the minority real quick . So now there is an actively growing underground movement that is wanting to over throw this government that is allowing this to happen.They are stock piling weapons, getting organized, trying to convert others, and are planning for the day to rally the people around a call for freedom from an oppressive government. They are even using the false pretences of being Christian and claiming it's their God given right to protect their superior race against the fags , the non-Christians, the Jewish run media, all others they consider degenerates of society , and the non -whites who they fear will soon out number them and will treat whites ,the way whites treated them in the past.They are using the religion of Christianity ,to propell their agenda , the same way the muslim religion is being used to propell terrorist attacks.......Anyone who's studied the teachings of the one whos name was change to Jesus, Christian or not , knows his teachings were of non violence,peaceful methods of change.. And violence will destroy your soul. So now our government , who has information that is not being released to the public , on account it might help this " government over throw movement" become larger and stronger, are cracking down on our Freedoms in oder to stop a revolution before it happens. I am very verble and opinionated and I believe I will be considered a threat to the new revolutionary government. I am also not pure white , although I have a good deal of Anglo Saxon blood. Like Croatia and Germany before , I most likely will be at the wrong end of the ethnic cleansing of the new government, as people of the wrong race or religion were, in those countries. I don't like the new restictions that are going to take away Freedoms. It sounds naive, but I believe if a humans motives are pure, and his motives are to live in peace and don't disturb the peace of others and hold no negative thoughts in their soul toward other humans no matter what the others do , and accept no Freedoms from another man or government , because if you believe another can grant you freedom ,you will believe another can take it away.These new laws will only affect the ones who , no matter what they say, have some hidden negativity in their soul and this will make them susceptable to the Controllers.So although their will be attempts to take away Freedoms, only the ones who leave the least bit of negativity in their hearts and souls ,will need to fear. If I'm wrong and I get thrown in one of these prisons one day , I'll just fast ( not eat ) for as long as it takes and go to the next life. No big deal. Some times it just ain't worth , what your fighting for. They could hold your body in chains and your mind in fear. But they can't bond your soul. I will always be free.

And in memory of MOVE. I mention .. the group of African Americans who wore their hair in knotty dreds, and raised their children in peace and ate only raw non animal foods...And were considered a disease by their neighbors in Philidelphia , a city of Freedom and Liberty ??? They never get mentioned on this forum...I always wondered if it has to do with them not being white.?...They too, like Waco , were burnt alive with their children in a house in Philidelphia... Their crime was , their neighbors said they picked through their garbage cans and they looked ugly and unkept and the neighbors put presure on local officials to oust them out of the neighborhood and the people of MOVE wouldn't leave their house.... That was the only thing they were ever able to be accused of. ..4 city blocks of houses also burnt as the fire spread quickly. This was in 1980. I hear of the injustices of Ruby Ridge and Waco . Well what happen to Move....Am I the only one who's ever heard of them or is it , they were the wrong race at the wrong place ? The mayor of Philidelphia who ordered the fire bombing of MOVE was also African American at the time, if other wise, Jesse Jackson would have been dancing all over the air waves like Michael Jackson. Some Americans never had Freedoms that could be taken from them now.

King george

Anyway, those are a few; I cant find the funnier ones; he can be pretty funny, but some folks can't tell when he's serious and sometimes get bent. (sound familiar?) I have communicated with him cuz he is a musician, and , get this, he has an 18 year old daughter who is also a musician, and plays blues, although not exclusively. I like him; he's bright, and an original thinker. (although his lack of paragraphs gets annoying :)) He's very opinionated though, and has recieved quite a bit of crap in his email which is why you couldnt find much on him on google; he uses a phoney address most of the time.

I say yes!!! Hes very articulate and makes his points well.

-- Anonymous, August 25, 2002


Yes vote for deep south Texas. Those are some interesting posts. And we guys need all the help we can get :^)

-- Anonymous, August 26, 2002

Yes, we really could use some more "highly opinionated" folks like him, if he is capable of ticking off Dreen, he is welcome here!!!!

-- Anonymous, August 27, 2002

LOL, Annie! ;-)

So, EM, do you know if Steve WANTS to join us? I read the stuff that you posted, and my biggest objection is his (apparent) inability to make paragraphs. So, as you can see, that isn't much of an objection! I'm fine with him joining us. I'd like someone, preferably EM, to ask him if he's interested before handing out the password.

No one has objected to him so far, but let's give it through Wednesday. Then, if no one has objected, EM or some other volunteer can contact him. We have to have a REAL email address for him though, even if it's just Hotmail or some such.

-- Anonymous, August 27, 2002


Joy, I don't know for sure if he would want to join us; I do communicate with him, I think he is fairly new to foruming, and he found himself feeling like he was becoming addicted to the forums, and contributing too much, and developing relationships with people and that he kinda scared himself cuz of it. He tends, like me, to expose himself more than most folks (ok, knock it off you guys...I didnt mean it that way!) and then feel a bit embarrassed afterwards when there isnt much reaction, so I relate to this guy! Also, I think he could use a nurturing community, he is recently divorced, he has had a stalker after his musician daughter, and I can relate to that as well, and its nerve-wracking and scarey. I think he would like it here, and I think he trusts me, and I will tell him how to make paragraphs!

I would be happy to invite him if no one has any objections.

-- Anonymous, August 27, 2002


We could use all the participation we could get. (mostly...)

I have no clue who this guy is, but based on our seasoned and reasoned folks' assessments above, I say, ask him to stop by!

As him to peruse the archives to get a sense of who we are, maybe...

oh. Does SM stand for any kinky sex stuff, btw?

Wow, Marcia. I'm now going to use "he's got goats" the same way that others say "he's got balls", based on your enthusiasm!!

-- Anonymous, August 27, 2002

Sheepish...I've often wondered about the SM "thing". Maybe someone else here knows what that means!?? And I realize that the simple statement that he has goats isn't very intellectual...but, I have learned alot from his "goat" answers on other sites and find his responses to other topics interesting without being confrontational. What else can I say...I'm a simple person :-)!!!!

Is it too late to vote? Oh well. I say bring him on. Like J.R. said, we need all the help we can get. "We", meaning us men. Fresh meat! New blood!

Wildman, (yea-ing) Do you know that wasn't in my Spell Check?
