are we really free?

I just saw this movie last night on Google video. It is a pretty eye opening documentary on how the government is illegally taxing our income. It also reveals that all of the money they raise by taxing our income goes to pay interest on the federal debt. Did you know that the federal reserve is a privately owned bank? They are making money off of our country's debt and our income taxes are going straight into their pockets. They also have the rights to print our money! This is not right. This film is very interesting as well as disturbing. The entire thing is posted on Google video so that you can watch it for free (on a larger viewer than this too). The movie also talks about how we are headed toward a one world government. I believe that this is true because it was prophesied in the Bible in the book of Revelation. I'm not too worried though because I know that God is in control and that this is all part of his plan to redeem the world. He has already won the victory for me. Are you on His side? Jesus has already paid the price for you to be reconciled to God, all you have to do is believe. This film also talks about how there are plans in the works to implant everyone with an electronic transmitter under their skin that can be used to make purchases and identify you. Could this be the mark of the beast prophesied in Revelations 13:16,17? I know that God will give his people wisdom concerning this so that we can avoid the mark when the time comes. I am so thankful that he is sovereign and I don't need to worry or be fearful. You can visit http://www.freedomtofascism.com to find out more about the movie and it's mission.

bonehead

I made a bonehead move last friday night. I was on my way home from work with my road bike on top of my car and I forgot it was on there and drove into my garage. I even remembered my bike was on top when I pulled into my parking lot, but by the time I reached my garage I had totally forgotten. The collision caused my bike rack's front bar to get knocked off of the car and twisted the bike rack's tray. The tray also got pushed into the roof of the car and scratched Kendra's car pretty bad. My bike fared pretty well, considering. The bike seat was broken off of its rails and my handlebars were a little scratched. That's all I've found so far. Hopefully there isn't any hidden structural damage to my frame. I was able to put the bike rack back onto the car and I think it will still work. There didn't appear to be any major damage to the car where the rack attaches. I felt like a huge bonehead and loser after this happened. However, Kendra got home shortly after this happened and reassured me that I wasn't a bonehead or a loser. She is wonderful. My bike is out of commission for a little while until I can get a new seat. Huge bummer. I guess I'll have to ride my mountain bike in the mean time. At least it's not as bad as it could have been.

TV 'a la carte'?

This article in BusinessWeek talks about how many consumer groups want to see 'a la carte' cable programming available to consumers. If this became a reality, cable customers could purchase only the exact channels that they want to come into their household.



I think this is a great idea and should be implemented by the cable companies. I do not currently pay for any cable because I feel that most TV watching is a waste of my time and a cluttering of my time as well as being fairly expensive. There are a few things that I miss not being able to watch on TV in my house such as Football, Baseball, and Cycling. If cable channels were available 'a la carte' I think I would pay to recieve ESPN, Fox Sports, OLN, and possibly Fox, ABC, CBS, and UPN because they carry football and baseball, but I might decide to not get them because the rest of their content leaves much to be desired.



What do you think?

The Post

As you know, I work for Ball Aerospace in Boulder, but recently that changed. I now work for Ball Aerospace in Broomfield. They just moved me down to their south campus! This move has both some benefits and some disadvantages.



Benefits: They moved our whole team down here and we are in one large room together so we can all talk to each other easily when we need help or input or just want to talk. I also enjoy the rubber band fights that ensue every now and then. My cubical is an upgrade from my last one (more desk space). There is a sweet cafeteria in Broomfield with cheap food (including breakfast burritos) and 50 cent coffee. The building is a lot newer and nicer and doesn't have asbestos in it like our old one. AND our new building has showers and lockers in the bathroom which is excellent for running and biking at lunch or biking to work. We also have a sweet filter for drinking water that also puts out HOT drinking water. And my awesome friend Derrick sits right next to me and we can talk through the cube partition and shoot rubberbands at each other off the ceiling tiles.



Disadvantages: Location (the drive takes about the same amount of time, but the distance is further so biking to work is a larger task). With this cubicle furniture I have to stare into the corner and face my back to the entrance. I also have a large structural post in the middle of my cube.



Since there is a large post in my cube, I think I should probably name it. Any suggestions?

There is a new book out that reports that conservatives give more of their money and time than do liberals. Interesting...
