The Pledge Of Allegiance

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". And I remember reciting this passage daily in kindergarten school with my right hand placed over my chest, as if a robot to be programmed with all of the other pupils in class. And is one even aware of that they are reciting at that age. And what if one did not want to recite this passage in class, would they be expelled and exiled. Is this some some of mandatory phrase to be programmed, instituted and brainwashed with from childhood. Whats this passage all about? The programming of a people and worshiping of an image of something similar to some scene from George Orwell's nineteen eighty four and his big brother is watching you group think thing. And I have heard it said somewhere that the american flag propagates violence, maybe. And I am not sure what to think of that statement. And what's a patriot anyway. And for what reason do war veterans make up the majority of the homeless mentally ill population, or do they? And for what reason does the word patriot have the word riot in it. To die for one's country, to die a hero loyalty for and to what? And are americans and their flag waving brainwashed with all of this nationalist comradeory terminology propaganda, or is this propaganda anyway. And it seems to be the cowboys and the indians, parens patriae, power of the state, state of what, father of our country, loss of liberties in the name of freedom kind of thing, maybe. And what does Wikipedia, that internet bible dictionary have to day about this passage. And so this pledge of allegiance to the american flag and all that it represents debate, discussion, opinions and commentary with myself or whoever could be reading this blog seems as if it can go on an on in my blaghing on this blog. And I am unable to comprehend the concept of it all. No one is free when others are oppressed. Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State?

Music

And from what I can recall, music makes the world go round. And music can make you dance. And I have been hearing so many songs and more songs since I found myself as one of those dwellers here on planet earth. And then there are those many forms that music can and has been found in to listen to that music, as I can remember the eight track tape, the cassette tape, the vinyl lp and even the is it the 45 record of long lore ago. And so that is exactly that, those music playing formats of long lore ago. And so welcome to the age of high tech technology seemingly everything and free mp3 streaming . And I would assume that if you have not heard of that term mp3 by now when it comes to music, that you must have been living in a cave the past ten years or so, maybe. And if you happen to have one of those computers, blackberry's, iPhones, mobile phones or other high tech gadgets, you can download a ton of songs online and listen to them anywhere on the go. And with the age of MySpace, Twitter, Facebook and other social media networks, you can now share that music with anyone. And what an awesome idea this whole concept is to me even to this high tech communications day. And what a ways from long lore ago the age of music and communications has transformed itself. Have a great music and more day.

The Condo

And I have heard of those condos before. As I believe those are usually those dwellings, buildings and apartment houses to be found here on planet earth for human beings. And usually if one finds themselves as one of those human beings dwelling here on planet earth they may find themselves in search of some kind of shelter from the elements of the earth. And then there are Miami Beach condos. And also from what I can recall, Miami beach rocks. At least in all of those advertising images of people walking down the beach having fun in the sun. And I have always thought of Miami Beach having the most beautiful style of architect to look at and behold. And the way those beautiful homes in Miami Beach, South Beach, Ocean Drive and others can be practically across the street from the beach, one does not have far to go to the beach in they live there. And now with the invention of all things internet, if you happen to be looking for one of these Miami Beach condos, you can search for them from the nearest computer you can find. You can find those Miami condos for sale without ever having to leave home, or at least without ever having to leave a computer. And with Miami Beach condo shopping, that Miami Beach condo can be just a website visit away.

Host This Web

Hey bloggers, and welcome to the age of the twenty first century where everything seems to be all about that internet and the web, you know that television like device that enables users to interact with each other somehow. And one would think they must have been living in a cave the past decade if they haven't heard of this recent internet phenomenon by now. And in case you find your self as one of those internet users with a website for that web, you may ever so often find yourself in search of one of those hosts for your website. And then there's ecommerce web hosting, you know those websites that are usually about shopping carts, merchandise and more shopping. And if you happen to be looking for these ecommerce or webhosting websites, there are usually websites to be found that can compare those ecommerce hosting and web hosting websites for you so that you don't have to visit seemingly a bazillion different websites to compare those website hosts yourself. With web hosting rating websites, finding those websites in internetland has never been easier.

A Video

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Incendia Health. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hey bloggers, and this posting happens to be about the video contest. And in case you haven't heard, videos seem to be all the rage in these high tech, seemingly internet everything communications days. And this posting isn't about just any video, this posting happens to be about the iLASIK Video Contest. And there are some great prizes to be won as part of this iLASIK Video Contest like an HDTV package and a Flip UltraHD camcorder. And Abbott Medical Optics Inc. has actually announced who the winners of this video contest are and you can see their video at iLasik. And I have heard of that lasik before, as isn't that the procedure that helps one with a better vision. And those "You Gotta See This" videos are really interesting to watch. And if you register at their website, you can receive a free bottle of complete multi purpose solution. And what else can I blog about lasik that has not already been said before. With ILasik, finding those lasik videos and more is just a website visit away.

The Internet Headlines

"Gunman sprays DC crowd, killing 4 and wounding 5", "Death of coral reefs could devastate nations", "Growing low-oxygen zones in oceans worry scientists", "Chile Earthquake May Have Shortened Days on Earth", and "Jellyfish swarm northward in warming world". And those are just a few of those Yahoo News headlines that I have emailed myself in attempt to read those eye catching headline articles one day. And being that I may have actually read some of the content in those articles in the information overload internet world age, I thought I would just repost the titles of them with some sort of commentary, if any in my attempt to maintain content for this blog whenever possible. And those above titles seem to have something to do with yet again gun violence, and if only guns could be banished from every being on planet earth, guns are the worst invention ever, and the other articles, the environment I guess. The coral reefs disappearing, the honeybees dying, the starfish washing up to shore by the thousands, the low level of oxygen in the sea. And is this all global warming and the beginning of the end of the world, that all too familiar phrase these days and times. And what, if anything, does this have to do with a No Police State? Peace on earth and goodwill to all mankind.
