Breaking Point

I kinda feel like a wuss, but the pain from these gallstones has reached new heights so I'm headin' for the Madigan E.R..
Seems like
I used to tolerate pain better. Then again, maybe this is a sign. At any rate I ain't gonna take any chances.
Don't wanna get gallstoned outta my gourd.

I'm takin' my AyePad with me, so hopefully I can stay in touch from the hospital. I jest hope they don't screw up and amputate my legs or arms. Or worse.
If for some reason I don't make it I want you guys to know it's been an honor to know you and to be accepted as a Raccoon, and
i'll see you on the other side.
Chances are it will be okay, but you know what they say about chances: leave nothin' to it. So I won't.

Um, sorry to get all maudlin on you. I trust in God, so whatever happens will be okay.

No, the Raccoon way of the masked pandit is "trans-academic," "trans-scholarly," and "trans-ambitious," meaning that it admittedly comes up short in these overrated qualities. However, our loose canon tries to compensate with other virtues, such as freshness, spontaneity, metaphysical comedy, jehovial witticisms, cheery optimysticism, freevangelical pundamentalism, comparative nonsense, coonical pslackology, fine insultainment, off-road spiritual adventures, speaking in Tongan (or ad homina homina homina) and all the rest of our Oly Slackraments.

Understanding the Truth of Liberty

"Friends, raccoon's, countremen, lend me your ears:I've said it before, I'll say it again, if you want to know and/or defend your constitution, your nation, your liberty, follow these links and pass them on! The Founders Constitution, hosted by the by The University of Chicago and the Liberty Fund (which includes the Online Library of Liberty, one of the greatest free libraries, online or otherwise), and if you want to see the constitution for the first time or in a new light, I'm telling ya'll, read it here.

For instance, if you scroll down that contents page a bit, to the Preamble, there are 21 links there, from snippets to full documents, that give the background information and perspective that the Founding Fathers had in their minds regarding the Preamble when they debated, wrote, ratified (usually including the relevant Federalist and anti-Federalist papers, as here, Madison, Brutus & Patrick Henry) and later applied by early presidents and re-examined and explained how it was being implemented and interpreted by those who still understood it (Justice Joseph Story's commentaries on teh constitution are outstanding).

Indexes contains several ways of slicing and dicing the site, such as Index of Authors and Documents, which links or lists key documents by key figures of the times, Index of Cases, which links to passages of key court cases that either established precedents, or from historic judgments which influenced how the first cases were judgedIndex of Constitutional Provisions Article 1, Section 8, Clause 6 which seems to be on Bob F.'s mind, dealing with Counterfeiting coins and securities.Aliens & Citizenship... it is and incredibly valuable resource.Those of you with your own blogs, or email lists, please, especially with the situation we are in today, publish this one, promote it.

If We The People, don't understand what we have, and why... there will be no improvement, as a people, or a nation and I'll garauntee you, reading the linked information will help you to 'Know thyself', because as the Founders knew, to govern at all, you had to first be capable of governing yourself.

And, for you cosmonaughts out there, check out Gagdad Bob's outstanding post with his unique metaphysical focus on Truth, Liberty, Christianity and America at:
http://onecosmos.blogspot.com/2009/07/saving-world-one-assoul-at-time.html
"America's founders knew that man only derived his value by virtue of his relationship to the Absolute. This is a fine example of how metaphysics -- the eternal science -- is enfolded in religion. For to see -- and it is a seeing, not a mere "knowing" -- that men are endowed by their Creator with life and liberty is to affirm that life and liberty have an absolute and infinite value. They are "unalienable." Anything short of this makes our rights quite alienable indeed, meaning, among other things, that we can surrender them to liberals for cash and other valuable prizes."

Rich n' tasty food for all you hungry assouls!
