Plato on the Soul

...then, since the soul is immortal and often born, having seen what is on earth and what is in the house of Hades and everything, there is nothing it has not learned.....for seeing and learning are all remembrances.

Bedazzling Rainbow ***

On the last day of November 2004, about 8 am, I stepped out to throw some bread scraps out. Turned around to reenter the door and this sight took my breath away. Look to the bottom of the picture; the roof of my home. So you can see how huge a space this rainbow covered. In the seconds it took me to go inside, grab the camera, the density of color had begun to fade; still it shows somewhat in the first picture here.

Isn't this amazing?











You can see clouds but there was no rain before it appeared nor did a drop fall that whole day.

For a Good Cause ***

former cheerleaders perform for good cause: Let's eliminate breast cancer.

Just yesterday I read an article comparing breast cancer incidents in China vs United States. It stated 1 in 100,000 have this cancer in China. 1 in 5 get breast cancer in the US. In China, milk products aren't used. We in US gorge on milk products!

Fifty Five Million Want to Leave! ***

According to the link http://www.borowitzreport.com/ 55 million people, 99.99% of them Americans have requested citizenship to Canada. That is 55,000,000! Borowitz' report was dated Nov. 3 Thursday/yesterday, yet all these requests came in since Tuesday, a period of just 24 hours. Now doesn't this tell us MUCH? Appears many are unhappy with the current situation.

If this continues, seems the United States could become a barren land in a very short time ... who then will be left to vote next election?

Now I wonder just how many are requesting citizenship to America. The term 'seething cauldron' comes to mind.
