Congratulations America!
By passing the health care reform bill including a public option, America has just collectively moved up the ladder of spiritual, emotional, and intellectual evolution.
Well done America!
P.S. Thank you President Obama, and God bless you.

Dear Mr. President,
First, your speech at the Human Rights event tonight was the best that I have heard by any president ever, bar none.
You make me so proud to have voted for you.
Secondly, Congrats on the Nobel Peace Prize!
Norwegians are no dummies, they knew exactly what they were doing, they trust you.
Lastly, with all due admiration and respect, I must say a few words regarding the U.S. health-care crisis. It's killing us, fiscally, socially and quite literally, it is killing us.
How better to be considered capable of helping the world than by helping your own people first? Think about it. Cleaning up your own back yard is part of what the Vikings were hoping for when they gave you the most important award the world has to offer.
Over 65% of Americans want a public option. Therefore, it would probably make sense, to see to it that they get it. Please don't buckle under the pressure of the puppeteers bill this Tuesday. Please say no, cut through the strings of the "Jabbas" of the insurance/banking industry, and wipe your hands clean of their grubby slime, once and for all. That, Mr. President, is what will help America heal. Nothing short, of that, will due.
You do this, for your own country, and you really will have the credibility and the strength to help bring peace to the places in world that need it most. We will all be stronger in support of you as a result, and as our leader, you will be stronger for it too.
Your Friend,

At heart I am a socialist. After reading the following article, (see the extened post), from Aljazeera, a few things pop out.
1. Norwegians are way richer than Americans per capita. With nearly no such thing as bankruptcy, foreclosures or homelessness, and no trillion dollar debt, or ownership from counties like China, they are financially light years ahead of us. They are as a whole, very green, and have conserved their resources extremely well. For such a little understated country, they have some very deep pockets, it's really quite impressive.
2. They are, by in large, a very healthy nation. They have a longer life expectancy, lower death rate at birth, and very little obesity if any, or all the health related issues that follow with it. Perhaps not fretting about insurance improves your health, and adds years to your life. You don't need insurance there. Without the stressful headache/heart attack that insurance has become for so many Americans, life would certainly be different, that's for sure.
3. The worst complaint the right wing party had, was waiting for non-emergency treatment. In all my visits there, no one ever complained about waiting. In fact, people who are a little ill or very critically ill, get the state of the art treatment which many of us are denied. Generally, they get help with very little waiting, and no medical bills. The same treatments that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars here, and have ruined countless American lives, are free there.
Free, can you imagine that?
How civilized is that?
At least they are true progressives over there, across the pond, and not all hype and talk.
4. It was a close race in Norway, unlike the obvious win for the"progressives" here. Thank god, the more civilized party won there again, and still remains civil minded. Their taxes may be higher than ours, but it is money well spent, in my book. Look at our costs for education, health care, and elderly care, most of which only the middle (?) and upper class receive. Over there, however, you are free to be what you want to be. Can you imagine not worrying about health care? Can you imagine getting a P.h.D., at no cost? My dad did.
How did the land of so called "free" end up imprisoned in the self-inflicted bondages of terrible education and health systems? Seems more like a U.S. system of ignorance and sickness from my perspective.
5. Why can't our current government get it's act together and it's ass in gear, and give us a real government run option? Furthermore, what is wrong with big government anyway? It's small government that scares the hell out of me, and small minded people too. Read More »

Friday last I had the honor of attendinding Grandpa Dine's Spiritual cleansing. I was in the circle with my grandpa and many wonderful Native brothers and sisters, whom made a special sacrifice to pray for grandpa all night long, from early evening untill the following day at sunrise.
ALL NIGHT LONG THERE WERE SACRED PRAYERS AND SONG FOR MY GRANDPA'S HEALTH AND WELL BEING. HE WAS ADMINISTERED THE MOTHER SEED PEYOTE AS THE PRAYERS AND SACRED SONGS WENT ON ALL NIGHT LONG. HIGH UP IN THE MOUNTAINS OF THE SANTA ISABEL RESERVATION.
Through the night until morning he took many teaspoons full of powdered mother seed and washed down with peyote tea. He was up all night on his ironwheeled horse. The experience for me was a highly memorable one. The sacred fire in the circle was kept going all night by the fireman, and the Roadman blessed him and I many times with Eagle feathers. As the Roadman prayed to Grandfather Spirit to cleanse the cancer from my Grandpa's body. The Roadman Glen Justky came all the way from a rez north of Casa Grande Arizona and he brought with him family members to assist with the entirety of the sacred ceremony.
I felt blessed just from being as one with our people and to have been under a beautiful starlit night on a mountain top as the coyotes serenaded us with their song, to have heard the crow of the roosters and see the birth of a new wonderful sunrise which became the first day of the rest of my Grandpa's life. He will live longer because the mother seed will cure him from his cancer, and Grandfather Spirit Creator of all will not allow my Grandpa to go home to Grandfather Spirit before his time.
I feel as if I have become one with all of our people and happy to be home.

Attention all Temecula Residents,
If you have any family members going to Vail elementry School, of Temcula Unified School District, you should be aware that there is a breakout of th swine flue and that it has been kept under wraps as far back as early June.
The first cases should have been reported to the CDC in Washington D.C. and Bethesda Maryland CDC.
It was not for obvious reasons. However since my little brother was exposed at the school and contracted the disease we are now all under order and guide lines from the CDC to stay Quarantined for the next 10 days. Two people have died from the disease in the County of Sandiego in the past month.
The Swine Flue is lethal if not treated.
The school district was not particularly in a hurry to make the report. Their main concern is to avoid a money loss from the federal subsidy they recieve for each child. My grandfather Dine' Warrior made a call to the CDC office in Washington DC and henceforth was passed on to the direction of the Bethesda Maryland office.
The School District of Temecula has not made it public to the parents of all the other students in the school.
Many of those children have brothers and sisters that go to middle School and Great Oaks Highschool. The disease can become a major epidemic if not properly handled. The sad part is that not all people have proper medical coverage and can not afford to take their children to the hopital emergency room to get treatment. The latter are the ones that may end up dead, and all because some money hungry school districts only care about the money and not the health of the students.
The Native American communities donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to the school districts in their areas every year, from Gaming on the Rez. I ask myself is it right for our people to be forking out money to the school districts if this is going to be their attitude. I do not think so. My grandfather Dine' Warrior will be going on a crusade to stop this practice, and to make it known to the shool districts that all children go there to recieve an education and not to be put in harms way by money grubbers, who do not care what happens to the children in their trust. No child should be exposed, Native American or other. I am writing this blog under guidance and direction of Grandpa Dine' Warrior.
The CDC is now aware and making sure that guide lines are being followed and will be watching closely that this type of behavior does not repeat, Grandpa Dine' Warrior is going to stay on top of this situation along with the CDC.

There there has been a lot of research conducted on how and why youths are not interested in mainstream politics and voting. The latter is not a phenomenon
Under-age future voters should have the chance to learn about the parties and their platforms. However there is little interest from the adult voters when it comes to seeing what we think about regarding politics. It seems that the only time we are taken into consideration is on election years and major campaigns. When it comes to canvassing areas for adults in local state and national campaigns we are asked to participate. We end up doing a lot of the dirty work along with the footwork. After the election is over it is as if we no longer exist.
I ask the enlightened here, if you have any ideas or suggestions on the matter, to come forward and make your views heard.
I say please give us a fair taste of the mainstream politics and better educate us on the matter so that those among us whom are apathetic can become genuinly interested and do our civic duty gladly as we progress and mature. We are mostly affected because we technically have no say.
We work gladly doing what is called the dirty work in the hope of having our needs met through proper representation. Sadly after the elactions we are not taken into any consideration at all.
It is the hope of a majority of youths that we are given a true taste of politics, so that the apathetic become more engaged and interested enough to cast real ballots when they turn 18. What do you think?
If I am wrong please correct me?
Respectfully
Little Dine' Warrior

I just want to wish you all a happy belated birthday to all whom have been blessed with a birthday in the past few days. I have over two thousand friends on my network and it is very hard to keep up. I am getting ready to start school this monday and am looking forward to getting started. I am now a sophmore and looking forward to graduate early by taking advanced courses at Great Oaks High.
When I become 17 I will be going for my Political Science internship with the Morongo Nation and upon completion I will be launched for my first Public Servant job by indnzlist.org.
I pray the Great Spirit illuminate me and guide me so that I can become a good public servant and a dedicated servant to my fellowman, Native American as well as All citizens of our great nation.
I have joined just about as many groups as possible on this site. It is part of my political science major course of study. I hope that I am not removed from the groups, for not being an immediate local. However I have many family members all over our nation and specially among Native America all over. reason for which I joined these groups. We keep in contact and urge our fellow Native Americans in the areas to support fully the Dem candidates in your states and districts. May the Great Spirit Creator Bless you all.
Special greetings to grandma Spirited Donna, Vydia, Maryanne and all the mutual friends of my mentor and myself, Grandpa Dine' Warrior. Your friend always.
Sincerely Little D.

I greet all our mutual friends. I am happy to announce that on the weekend of September 11 through the 14th, Little Dine' Warrior will be dancing the Gord Dance and other ceremonial dances at the Pow Wow for the first time. He will be in full regalia along with the members of the Soaring Eagles, whereby I hope that all of you that are in the general area of San Diego County will be able to attend the Pow Wow.
The Head Pow Wow Woman Mrs Arnita Swanson will be one of the Honored guests at the Pow Wow.
Arnita is better known as Grandma Sioux.
I hope that those of you that live in Southern California will honor us with your presence. I also extend the invitation to those of you that happen to be visiting Southern Calif to come join us.
I am very proud of my grandson Little Dine' Warrior, he has grown considerably and is a very patriotic and respectful young warrior. He is a long time member of the JRAFROTC and is quite active in the community visiting hospitalized veterans at the local VA hospital.
He has also recieved recognition from the VA Volunteer Services Director and staff for his unselfish involvement bringing a smile to many Hospitalized Vets that are in the Community Living Section of the Va, whom for the most part have no family left to care for them.
I hope that you can all attend the Pow Wow At the Sycuan Rez 11 th through the 14th of September 2009..
May the Great Spirit Bless you all Highly.
I am still in fasting and preparation for my Peyote Cleansing Ceremony coming up on the weekend of the 21st of this month. I have faith the mother seed Peyote will cure me of my terminal Cancer.
My Little Dine' sends his regards to all here, the best people that ever graced our mother Earth. The Democrats and their leadership.

I am Dine Warrior and am thankfull to the Great Spirit for the oportunity to be again blogging here on Little Dine,s Party Builder pages. I have been away for quite some time in the land of shadows between the living and the dead. I have regained control of not only one limb but both and can now handle a key board much better versus previously with only one hand.
To many of you here at this point I may be a stranger, however there are still many here whom remember me. I am the Grandfather of Little Dine' warrior.. I still have stage four cancer and will soon be cleansed through the Native American Church of my cancer with the mother seed Peyote.
This event will take place on the third weekend of August at the Santa Isabel Reservation. I invite all of my Native American friends here to join me for my ceremony. If you are from afar and will be in the area at that time I will be highly honored if you can attend. If you are from near the area and are able to attend I will also be highly honored.
Regardfless of the situation whether you are able to attend or not due to previous engagements or the imposibility of attending, I will still be praying for all of you as I will be for all my family and close friends so that they can recieve blessings from the Great White Spirit Creator and always walk with beauty before you, to the back of you, above you and below you to the right of you as well as your left.
I will be praying that all your troubles go away and the great Spirit shower you all with health, love, happiness and that you have all your needs met. This invitation is not only for the Native Americans whom I have befriended here on this site, it is also for all non natives whom are here. I extend welcome and wish blessings and all good tidings to the new mwmbers of the Party Builder.
I pray that those of you that remember me drop me a note or comment on this invitation, and I offer my humble friendship to all the new people here. Little Dine Warrior is at my side now and he sends his best regards to all here and wants to make it known to all new members of the party builder he would enjoy their friendship in his humble friendship network.
MAY THE GREAT WHITE SPIRIT CREATOR OF ALL BLESS YOU.

Other contenders for titles of this blog were......
"Is That Your Inside voice or Your Outside Voice?"
and
"Let's Trade Lessor Teachers for Better Teachers!"
It is ironic how preoccupied American teachers are with professionalism within their peer relations, while at the same time exhibiting a variable scale of unprofessionalism with their students. Let's just say I have been around the block, met and seen dozens of teachers in action, and I have to give the cake to a couple I am working with now.
Today I think I lost some hearing in my right ear. I was standing only a few feet away from a "colleague" who was screaming at the top of her lungs (which I abhor). She was down the hall from some students near her classroom, which she wasn't near, alas, her need to engage in blood curdling screaming.
Isn't it about time, someone speaks up? Is yelling and screaming an acceptable method of discipline to employ on students? Is verbally accosting and berating students the most effective means of getting results? I have seen enough to answer that. No, it only makes things worse.
Hearing this teacher scream so loud it hurt my ears, is getting old, really old. Then as if by some remarkable stroke of ignorance, she turned around to the group of teachers I was standing with, smiled, and said, "yelling works." The only thing worse than the lack of common human respect she shows to students (6th graders) is the way she speaks of them to her "colleagues"
I am awe-struck at what I hear when teachers talk to each other. Evidently it perfectly acceptable to bad mouth a student openly to other teachers. "So and so is lazy", "he's just lazy', "she's just lazy", it's about as distasteful for me to hear as if I were watching them say it to the child's face. Excuse me, but aren't we teachers supposed to say "lacks motivation", instead of lazy? By the way, isn't it up to teachers to take the responsibility for motivating students if they lack it?
If yelling, has not accomplished improved achievement, and it apparently has not, then it is time to stop, even if it does effectively quiet the classroom. Some of the less favored kids have gone from bad to worse, and a couple of these teachers seem to just get angrier and angrier. That doesn't help.
It is as though we are caught in a rut. The kids don't listen, when teachers scream they tune out. They stop caring or doing their work, and the teachers get mad, yell, and berate, and the kids continue to withdraw and do worse. This cycle can repeat itself until the child ages out of the public system. It's like these yellers and irate teachers don't have the intellectual and emotional tools, to be optimistic and encouraging, when it's needed most.
Listening to the way these teachers talk to the students is such a turn off, but listening to them talk about the students is absolutely sickening. It is quite easy to sympathize with the student and understand why he/she doesn't listen, I have even found myself wanting to hide under something on several occasions when watching a teacher berate one of students. Yet, speaking out against teachers who obviously do not model appropriate behavior is strongly discouraged. It's kind of like how medical doctors stick together during malpractice suits.

"Is That Your Inside voice or Your Outside Voice?"
and
"Let's Trade Lessor Teachers for Better Teachers!"
It is ironic how preoccupied American teachers are with professionalism within their peer relations, while at the same time exhibiting a variable scale of unprofessionalism with their students. Let's just say I have been around the block, met and seen dozens of teachers in action, and I have to give the cake to a couple I am working with now.
Today I think I lost some hearing in my right ear. I was standing only a few feet away from a "colleague" who was screaming at the top of her lungs (which I abhor). She was down the hall from some students near her classroom, which she wasn't near, alas, her need to engage in blood curdling screaming.
Isn't it about time, someone speaks up? Is yelling and screaming an acceptable method of discipline to employ on students? Is verbally accosting and berating students the most effective means of getting results? I have seen enough to answer that. No, it only makes things worse.
Hearing this teacher scream so loud it hurt my ears, is getting old, really old. Then as if by some remarkable stroke of ignorance, she turned around to the group of teachers I was standing with, smiled, and said, "yelling works." The only thing worse than the lack of common human respect she shows to students (6th graders) is the way she speaks of them to her "colleagues"

From an email recently received....
"Inauguration Augury: Animating the Spirit of Democracy
With a ritual of Unity and Blessing"
"Aptly on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day--
One day before the official inauguration we gather to inaugurate a culture of all-inclusive reverent ingenuity."
"To Atlantis rising under Mordor...
Obamanos!"
"Let's be in collaborative cahoots, either in embodied form or via telepathic well-wishing:
The Washington, D.C. community of magical and spiritual progressives will join together on Monday afternoon, January 19th, at the Jefferson Memorial Plaza, to sweep the town clean and welcome President-elect Obama and his administration to the White House."
"The ritual of Unity and Blessing is organized by a triumvirate of native Washingtonians, one of whom is the great-granddaughter of slaves, one the greatpgranddaughter of slave owners, and one the daughter of a populist New Deal Congressman."
"The ceremony will begin promptly at 2pm with a Witches Broom Dance, intended to cleanse Washington of the malfeasance, deceit and partisanship of the last eight years."

Here's a message from Barack Obama about how funds coming in are now DOUBLED, so here goes:
In these final three weeks, our opponents are signaling they will do whatever they can to distract voters and distort the truth, so we need to redouble our efforts.
The negative ads and smears seem to grow by the day. The most effective way to respond is by reaching out to more people than ever before with the truth -- the stakes in this election are too high not to.
We need to grow this movement by 100,000 new donors before Friday.
A previous donor has promised to match your donation to encourage you to give for the first time. This is your last opportunity to partner with a fellow supporter and make your donation go twice as far.
Your donation of $5 will become $10, $25 becomes $50, and $50 becomes $100. Double your impact by making a matched donation today. Read More »

What most of you aren't understanding is the depth of the anger on the right and left of the electorate in this country.
That is what John McCain is hearing at his rallies and you are seeing on CNN. Democrats don't hear it at their rallies because the left long ago discarded the democratic party.
This anger is not something that will somehow evaporate and just go away. The right is just now discovering how much they have been misled and betrayed.
Taking care of the needs of the citizens is not PANDERING - it is what ruling classes do to stay in power.
Could some of you PLEASE talk to your friends in the news media and get them to stop referring to this as a "Socialist" bailout?
You know, I know, and they know that is not true.
Thanks for you help.

The United States of America should declare a "Year of Jubilee" - the "forgiveness of all debts." The requirement for a Year of Jubilee is clearly established in chapter 25, verse 10 of the of the Old Testament/Torah Book of Leviticus. Verses 28, 40, 50, 54, of the 25th chapter and verse 24 of the 27th chapter clearly require the forgiveness of all debts by all believers every 50 years.
This is a requirement, it is not an option. This is why in Chapter 6, verse 12, of the New Testament Book of Matthew (The Lord’s Prayer) Jesus prayed, "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors."
Do we know where Mr Goolsbee studied as a Fulbrigth scholar?????
From Mr Goolsbee's CV:
HONORS AND AWARDS
Fulbright Scholar, 2006-2007
Named one of the Young Global Leaders, World Economic Forum, Switzerland, 2005
Named one of the 100 Global Leaders for Tomorrow, World Economic Forum, Switzerland, 2002
Lumina Award for Pioneering Research in E-Commerce (with co-author Jeffrey Brown), Global Reinsurance, Monte Carlo, 2001
Bill's basic idea:
"....innovative ways to solve major problems for one billion of the world's poorest people, who don't get enough food or don't have drinking water or reliable access to mediication, which the rest of us take for granted, he said.
Bill apparently doesn't understand:
"As of September 2008, the world's population is estimated to be about 6.7 billion (6,700,000,000). In line with population projections, this figure continues to grow at rates that were unprecedented before the 20th century, although the rate of growth has almost halved since its peak of 2.2% per year, which was reached in 1963. The world's population, on its current growth trajectory, is expected to reach nearly 9 billion by the year 2042"
What about the 6,700,900,000 thousand of us???????????
