When the student becomes the teacher...

   

The Art of politics.

A young Master learns from a True Master of the Art of War

The passing of the torch

*evil grin*

I haven't had much reason to blog for quite a while.

Maybe because I found it easier to just spew short post on other social sites that made Me lazy.

Until I found Myself shortening My post at times that what I felt like saying was just not complete in 200 words or less..

lol

But as I watched the character of this country flip through so many flavors of love and hate as of late?

I could not wait for the right words to formulate in My mind enough to fold it's self into a challenge.

How do I express the mess we have gotten ourselves into?

As a Nation of people

divided

And never been defeated.

But it's no secret that mass amounts of American people have been picking sides and drawing lines in the burning sands of progress and depression.

While guessing

Who is messing

With our lives

And livelyhoods.

And the goods are less than the bads.

And the sadness and frustrations have forced forecast of fear of failure.

If someone does not 

TAKE BACK

some image of hope that we lack the knack to attack

Because the facts have become fiction

Depending on what side you see from.

But I digress...

Because I would guess that just as the predictions professed.

We are faced with a mess

Of problems and no formula to solve them.

That anyone can agree upon.

And gone are the simple days

When one vote was all it took

Buy hook or crook

To change the ways

For better days

And speaking of dazes?

These are our our last days

Our last ways

To praise

What used to be.

2012

Is not a end

It's a new beginning

But nobody is winning

Because all bet are off

Because we are now on the boarder

Of a new world order

And let's not pretend that it was expected that the world would end

That depends on who you ask

The task of a fix fast

Has past

And at last

We are free

To be a whole new we

The people

United

Will never be defeated

And repeat it

Until we see it

*evil stare*

But the world is shifting faster than any location or nation can guess the rotation of power.

This very hour

Has put a sour note

In the very Constitution they wrote

And hope

Is the new dope

On a bigger scope

The slope is unpredictable

There is no form to this new formula.

The formality is you and Me

And Unity is a fantasy

And we have too much future to repeat our history

Not from memory

And that brings Me back to the student

The Master

And the Teacher

When the lessons to be learned have not been invented as of yet?

You can bet

That the best teacher

Is the creature who has not become a Master yet

But has honored the challenge of becoming a Master student

Of a New Order of a World

That has not changed as of yet.

But it's 2012

The end is near

And aint no future in our front'in

Respect

The conflict of advanced adult sexual nature in the new world order of the ages.

The question was asked as to why POCs are so homophobic and even fearful of sexual polarities in general other than the basic homosexual polarities.
So while some were talking (in a swingers group) about male anal stimulation and the suspect nature of a man being on a DL if they fetishize about that act. I had to express a deeper explanation of sexual polarities in general and the general nature of common people in todays new world exposure...

Actually the issue here is education more than suspect nature.


In our culture as People of Color, we tend to be very miseducated in advanced sexual nature. So for many all they know is hetro or homo. And nothing in between or any exceptions. Part of that problem is because of the structure of organized religion culturally. Take Eddie Long for instance. While he KNOWS what he is doing to some degree, he also KNOWS that the structure that he is conditioned from demands that what he KNOWS and FEELS is NEVER to be exposed to COMMON MAN. Because up until this century, advanced sexual education was ONLY exposed to mystics and monarks of society. So all of these sexual lifestyles were secrets that were held as indulgences ONLY for the high and mighty. And that means everything above heterosexual missionary sexual contact. So everything including swinging to BDSM to descriptions of sexual polarities were all taboo to common man. THAT is the deep part of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Because the BIGGEST sin was sexual deviance and over exposure of ignorance as to the spiritual powers and responsibilities connected to the act of sex it's self and GODs desire to be included i ever act in a positive nature. So homosexuality was not as much of a sin unless the parties involved disrespected the basic laws of human nature. And ALL of that was too deep for common man to have THAT much air and opportunity to spitefully and selfishly indulge in sexual deviance without remorse. Kinda like the way we are NOW starting to indulge in sexual deviance today due to exposure of the internet but fail to respect the basic conditions as to why each act has a purpose ad conditions as to why they exist. So commoners are now jumping into these advanced sexual lifestyles with no respect or concern for anyone but their own desire to selfishly explore a act that it too spiritually powerful for them to handle and they are preying on others more than having any concern for the possibility that they may harm others in their quest for entertaining mindless deviancy.

So in short...

NO ACT between man and woman (loving partners) in a loving relationship is a sin in theory.

PROBLEM is?

Sex is a powerful act that creates the SAME effect as DRUGS in the mind and even in souls of human beings rather they have become upper metaphysically educated as to dangers and responsibilities involved with these evolutionary acts or not! And in the case of "prostrate milking" and male anal exposure? Up until as of late, THAT ACT was ONLY reserved for trained Doctors for medicinal purposes! And for the few advanced practitioners who can safely explore that act for entertainment purposes.

And it gets deeper!

Because even the POPE stated in his Christmas address last year that "back in his day sexual deviance including pedophilia was NO BIG DEAL".... And many found great offense in his statement without consideration of WHERE his views of recollection stemmed from. Mostly due to the basic moral conditioning that the common religious populace has been educated under.

Mind you, the history of the Egyptians, Romans and the Greeks to state a few, have ALL noted the ART of Erotic indulgence by Royals, Mystics, Nobels, Craftsmen and Socialites in the community. Even the gladiators and the military were recorded and even somehow excused for their homosexual conduct with each other WITHOUT judgement of being lessor of a MAN or Woman/lady respectfully.

While the ONLY recording in our history of the common people being exposed and engulfed in deviant sexual nature was in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. And in THAT example the moral of THAT story was how the masses of lower classes abused THAT freedom that was expected to include greater responsibility as well as Spiritual REASONING behind each and every indulgence and sexual act personally. And what resulted was a loss of social concern for anyone and a selfish corrupt nature by common man that resulted in the need for the whole populace to be destroyed due to the severity of blasphemy by the common people as a whole.

Not because of the expression of homosexual nature. But because of the lack of education and purpose of basic sexuality and the spiritual concern for positive relations between respectful partners as to cautious conduct with such a powerful act of sexual experimentation.

So in theory, the act of mindless predatory terrorism and premeditated sexual assault by the masses became the HOLY OFFENSE when the common people of Sodom and Gomorrah desired and even demanded the intent to RAPE the two angels that were sent to Sodom and Gomorrah to protect Abraham's nephew, Lot.

http://www.gotquestions.org/Sodom-and-Gomorrah.html

#### "The biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah is recorded in Genesis chapters 18-19. Genesis chapter 18 records the Lord and two angels coming to speak with Abraham. The Lord informed Abraham that "the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous." Verses 22-33 record Abraham pleading with the Lord to have mercy on Sodom and Gomorrah because Abraham's nephew, Lot, and his family lived in Sodom."

#### "Genesis chapter 19 records the two angels, disguised as human men, visiting Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot met the angels in the city square and urged them to stay at his house. The angels agreed. The Bible then informs us, "Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom — both young and old — surrounded the house. They called to Lot, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them.'" The angels then proceed to blind all the men of Sodom and Gomorrah and urge Lot and his family to flee from the cities to escape the wrath that God was about to deliver. Lot and his family flee the city, and then "the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah — from the LORD out of the heavens. Thus he overthrew those cities and the entire plain, including all those living in the cities..."

#### "In light of the passage, the most common response to the question "What was the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah?" is that it was homosexuality. That is how the term "sodomy" came to be used to refer to anal sex between two men, whether consensual or forced. Clearly, homosexuality was part of why God destroyed the two cities. The men of Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to perform homosexual gang rape on the two angels (who were disguised as men). At the same time, it is not biblical to say that homosexuality was the exclusive reason why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were definitely not exclusive in terms of the sins in which they indulged."

#### "Ezekiel 16:49-50 declares, "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me..." The Hebrew word translated "detestable" refers to something that is morally disgusting and is the exact same word used in Leviticus 18:22 that refers to homosexuality as an "abomination." Similarly, Jude 7 declares, "...Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion." So, again, while homosexuality was not the only sin in which the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah indulged, it does appear to be the primary reason for the destruction of the cities."

I digress...

The REASON for My biblical inclusion of these quotes are to better express the actual instinct of the common people of Sodom and Gomorrah and why they were destroyed more than how many follow the cliff notes of the folklore they have been religiously conditioned to believe today...

Now why is THIS so important?

It's more important TODAY more than ever because THIS lesson has been FORBIDDEN to be explained to the commoners of society that BECAUSE of Sodom and Gomorrah it has been feared that IF religious practitioners were to attempt to explain this reality to the common populace? Solely because of their intelligence as a whole and their possibility to neglect such a freedom to explore these advanced sexual acts will cause the same massive corruption that occurred during Sodom and Gomorrah.

And up until this century and the invention of the World Wide Web?

This theory was demanded to be taboo to common man for their own good!

But NOW we are facing a new problem in our societies again.

NOW organized religion is not faced with a greater conflict.
The ability to enlighten ALL of the masses after suppressing so many advanced freedoms that have been ONLY reserved for upper metaphysically educated responsible may cause the total collapse of organized religion as a whole out of spite!

Thus the issue that people like Eddie Long, and The Pope, and so many others who have seemed to have felt excused in their conduct that they have preached to be sinful to the masses and yet been found out to have been following a conflictive inexcusable lifestyle that they are permitted to explain after exposed because THAT would mean that THEY would have to explain the deeper definitions of every sexual polarity and how and WHERE it is expressed and the conditions of ALL of it, to everyone. No matter if they want to believe it or not!

And THAT is not going to happen because that would mean that EVERY secret that many darker orders have hidden from the common man will also HAVE to be exposed as well.

And the common man in todays society can NOT handle THAT much enlightenment at this point in their impression of humanity as a whole. From what they have been manipulated to believe for their own safety in theory. But what many will consider a total insult to their intelligence.

Because SEX is the MOST powerful and unexplained act in humanity next to pain and death.

The upper metaphysical nature of such mystical power and responsibility as well as control and enlightenment would require everyone to be educated in the arts of Karma Sutra, Tantra, Chakras, and meditative yoga as well as martial arts as well as psychology and Biology JUST to be qualified to better understand the importance of respecting the act of sex to be NOTHING TO FUCK WITH in general.

And at this point in our awareness in this new world?
The basic conflicts that common man has with trying to understand their own personal sexual polarity and mental stability to be able to indulge in these advanced sexual lifestyles seem too difficult to consider studying FIRST before exploring the temptations of the flesh with a sound mind and a respectable responsibility to include their spiritual powers in a positive manner as to not harm each other or cause a act of extreem sin for abusing such a powerful act for mindless selfish reasons..

And being that todays general populace is NOT able to erase their personal impression of miseducated morality as a whole without the feeling of loosing their whole spirituality and identity?

The ability to inform and educate the masses of people who NOW find themselves drawn to these advanced sexual lifestyles that were once manipulated by their organized belief structure to enforce a MASS IGNORANCE for the common good of society is WAY TOO MUCH to handle without causing them to NOT include their spirituality as the driving force in their sexual desires.

And THAT means without judgement of others as well.

THAT is what BDSM actually is about in theory.
The respect and understanding of sexual polarities and every fetish known to mankind, respectfully.
(including the ones others find offensive and distasteful)

THAT is still too conflictive for the common man in society to excuse and respect towards others who may seem driven towards a darker and scarier personal fetish.

THAT is the difference in what the 1% of power feels empowered to indulge in that the 99% can not stomach to imagine how they can get away with such a privilege without feeling they are sinful to humanity.

And THAT includes polygamy, swinging, pedophilia, homosexuality, beastiality(sp), and every other fetish, sexual polarity and relationship dynamic that demands a different responsibility as to HOW they can afford to indulge into something that common man can not afford respectfully or have to explain to insignificant bystanders and low life's.

This new found investigative freedom of information of the masses of commoners and "normal" simple minded people is causing a great deal of corruptive nature to our basic family values as well as confusion to many common people in society who NOW feel the ability to indulge into sexual acts that were once considered TABOO in nature and even sinful by the standards set by organized religion as a whole.

So it's not as simple as homosexuality, bisexuality or heterosexuality now.
Now we have even deeper sexual polarities like Alpha, beta, and omega types.
We have Tops and Bottoms and fetishist.
We have mental conditions and tramas in our histories that are connected to our philia's and phobias.

All of these deeper identities demand that we KNOW exactly who and how we are and how we are not.

And NONE of these should change our personal image as whom we are.

So a man who loves his ass probed should never be questioned as to his sexuality no more than a man who cross dresses should never be questioned as well.
Nor should a homosexual, transsexual, lesbian or bisexual person ever be questioned as to their humanity or stability to be judged by their character no more than the color or culture.

And these adult sexual lifestyles SHOULD Be safe havens for all that understand and respect adult sexuality and sexual polarities and fetishes as a whole. So that no one has the right to judge another or feel uncomfortable being around others unlike themselves socially.

But this shit is TOO NEW and TOO DEEP for too many common people to understand WHY they have no choice but to keep their personal insecurities to themselves enough to embrace a sense of unity as a lifestyle community at large.

Just the over indulgence and temptation and freedom to explore so many of these sexual indulgences has cause too many simple minded people to abuse the basic concern for others for their own selfish desires and even ignorant selfish addictions and predatory instincts.

And THAT is and has been the Dangerous element of these Adult Sexual lifestyles today!

Because ignorance is TOO EASY to embarace but too uncomfortably shameful to admit when the pride of simple minds find themselves stuck having to face enlightenment and reality that is too strange to respect more than the risk of failure.

It's not JUST human nature.

It's because basic HUMAN NATURE is NOT what we have been conditioned to be allowed to believe as common people in todays society. Because OUR society as it has been STRUCTURED through organized religion that has manipulated the mindset of the masses of populations of civilizations for THEIR OWN PROTECTION respectfully has now become the most difficult conflict with our ability to enlighten ourselves enough to better explore these adult sexual lifestyles without guilt, shame, or fear of sin.

And we can not handle THAT much truth!

Because we can not handle THAT much responsibility to NOT rebel from the only spiritual faith base we have ever known to date.

And already too many people have grown to HATE organized religion for more reasons than they have the ability to excuse them for, now that they have the ability to see why they HAD to protect the masses from becoming another Sodom and Gomorrah!

And now here we stand together as a newly connected WORLD image still suffering manipulated ignorance and racism and folklore that once was for our own good in the smaller hoods we have evolved from today.

And the MOST uncomfortable truth and enlightenment that we all face in this civilized world as it stands today is sex and sexual polarity and how ONLY when we are able to educate ourselves fully into the deeper darker reality that has been hidden from us for thousands of years?

We MAY be able to better understand WHY Jesus Himself refrained from sex for a greater purpose in his teachings of spiritual enlightenment that ended up causing western civilizations to divide into conflicting beliefs in order to keep certain order and civil structure of the masses before we found ourselves where we all are in this New World Order of the Ages...

### "Enlightenment comes at a price. You have to shed your most profound beliefs, give up the props that keep you going each day, and arrive at a place where "you" does not exist. You are no longer playing a role in the theater, and you are no longer even in the theater because the theater too is an illusion. This is not a happy thing, enlightenment."

THAT price!
Is too deep and too dark for the civilized common man/woman to be expected to handle and respect over the reality that will no longer exist as soon as you become enlightened.

Sex is a act that creates a spiritual explosion of energy and light that can be the most powerful energy a human can posses or express once Mastered and understood.

If you can not include the highest form of your spiritual beliefs in your indulgence in the act of sex?

All your doing is fucking for no reason.
And too many of us have been created out of shame and ignorance of mindless sexual indulgence and selfish addiction that the basic product of such a act suffers more until it is able to do better for the next generation of blessings that are ONLY made by having sex!

The intent of the New World Order is to enlighten the masses so that they may peacefully evolve into a more enlightened state of a NEW WORLD REALITY of the masses respectfully.

But we can NOT learn enough from our history to no longer repeat it.
Because we have been too conditioned to defend what history we think has made us who we are today.

And we do not fully KNOW who we are as individuals because our sexual polarity is a part of our ever evolving DNA.

THAT requires a NEW MATH mentality.

What makes us most human is what made us and how we were made.

SEX is the most important part of our humanity.
And still the most uncomfortably taboo topic to handle as adults.

A Pimpstyle RANT worth reading during Ramadan.

As a Black non Christian Man, I find the need to sometimes lash out at the ignorance of My own and how I too feel connected by default.

And for that reason I feel the need to leave this rant here and not out there in the world on front street.

Sometimes My people don't think about how their words they leave on public threads are gonna come off to the rest of the viewing world, or even care how or why.

This reverse "Coonery" many seem to be comfortable with expressing as a fine example of our race.

It aint like there are many like us in the world.
We have become the last genetic mutation of many others from our generations that made us just black.

And I don't mean that there is anything wrong with that because I was raised to believe that Black is beautiful.

But these negro's out here can't let go of their own bullshit fast enough to notice that everyone else in the world views all of us AS IS.

And THAT is the part that I hate the most.
And hate is a very powerful word.

And if there is ONE thing that black folks can admit if they are at least worth shit is that we have to admit that all of us as a whole aint ready or even strong enough to see things from a world perspective and not a black American view point.

And every last one of us are very unique mutations of more other races and tribes of humans of the world that we are suffering from un-adapt-ability within this new found general populace of the world. And in this case it becomes even more complex because we are also kinky. (what ever that means)

But I'm not one of yall.

I keep trying to say that.
The ONLY thing most of us share in common is our skin color.

And THAT is how it is everywhere else in the world except in many urban areas and social realms in America.

But it pains Me to watch so many slip faster to exclude others of the same color at the drop of a hat and then bat a eye when they need to speak for their race just because...

If it all came down to a simple task of being forced into a broad category?

And you had to pick being just black or something else but that would mean that you had to stand with them or the black people?

More black folks would bail like they did with Obama's election.

It's a socially cultural issue.

Most black people talk as if they will never be faced with living abroad where their culture conflicts with your own and make that place your home. Let alone, be shown that others find you all more hip-o-critical just because in the BDSM mentality? Your or should I say OUR reality does not apply in a world perspective.

And many are now learning that back folks are so diverse that they will turn on each other faster than they can relate as a whole.

And if a black person admits the ugly truth of their own people in general or even statistically?

Some black person will make it their business to disown one of their own, and none of us are here to hang out with everyone. Most of us will never meet.

But Black people have been making Me sick of their sickness in masses.
Because they black asses aint trying to be a asset to their race.

And speaking of race?

*blank stare*


Who is it to say that black folks know the ONLY way to treat black folks better than they can do to each other honorably?

The ONE thing I will admit...

I may not say something that everyone will get with...
I may in fact say some shit that many will debate out of ignorance.
And there aint that many of us in these lifestyles anyway.

So on any given day I have to deal with some person of color coming out they mouth on some dumb shit like the shit I leave in print is some bullshit.
Just because from where they see it?
Something I say is some bullshit because they can't admit that they are as well read as I am enough to leave respect at the end of it..lol

Not that black folks are slow learners...

But Americans as a whole got this shit twisted.

From a world perspective.

Most black American people Have never traveled at least 10 thousand miles in their lifetime. And in most cases it was from one black cultural environment to another to visit family.

And our history is too vast for many of them to agree to compare history and not debate their own from what they have known all of their lives.

And just in case you forgot?

Some of us may be African Americans, but we are not Africans enough to have duel citizenship.

So few black people in this world are upper metaphysical thinkers just as every other race of people of the world.

I wish more people of color were conditioned enough to be able to relate more than debate just because you come from some culture that conflicts with the shit some other black person wrote.

Like this race shit...

Just because you can't get with some shit someone else is into?
Don't mean that you have to show your black asses in masses on some thread that fucked with your black mentality.

And too many black folks take shit others write personally.

And this shit is killing Me to not just have to see another sister or brother leave another example of reverse "Coonery" while they try to be seriously funny.

So in closing?

Making a long rant shorter than you would know...

The ONLY reason why I leave something from My viewpoint is just incase someone can take something that may make them grow.

Even if it makes no sense to someone.
If they are smart?

It should not matter what color you are.

But I am talking about black folks in general.

And POCs...

There is about a handful of any amount of us that can even be counted as the Kinky Americans.


That makes even minorities to small to even make a POC community.
But some of yall POCs be on some other shit.

But don't let THAT be the reason why too many of you are guilty of reverse "Coonery" than Me!

*evil stare*

I was raised Pro Black.
And child of very active parents in the civil rights movement and supporters of the Black Power Movement.

I gives a fuck about Kewl Points.

Not one damn word I typed was a lie.

I know My people better than most of them know themselves.

And I hate to have to admit it to too many of them around these parts...lol
They aint listening to a damn thing I say.

#### "Niggers and flys, niggers and flies. How I despise niggers and flies. But the more I see niggers the more I like flies..."
The Last Poets?

I love black people.
Black people are Me.
But one thing black people are not ready for...

Black People are not ready for the revolution.

Yet...

[first interview with Martin Luther King from 1957 part 2](http://youtu.be/HXlfeeh_Wqg)
Watch the damn video.
*Pay attention to the white man on the right/left.*
How right were they when they planned to put all of us as Americans today?


If I have to be stuck in My faith during a time of prayer and fasting?
Because I want too.

I want to pray that there will come a day when more black people and people of color and of different faiths, will see further than their own noses.

And most of all I am gonna also pray that People of color will stop treating each other as if one or the other deserve less than the same respect they try to protect. Because that's all they know as who they are in this country.

Treat each other no less or no better than you would treat someone at face value of another color.

The miseducation of the Negro in America is proof enough that too many of us are not ready to deal with a different type of person of color having the same right to their opinion and the same honor to respect where they come from too. Even if it conflicts with you.


I love black folks too much to be forced to expect better from them.
And they don't understand what I'm talking about.

This 2012 thing is no joke!

I have been saying how the earth is shifting and even time it's self is going to change while we are entering that 2012 change.

Well

Read on...


SPACE.com – Tue Mar 2, 10:00 am ET

The massive 8.8 earthquake that struck Chile may have changed the entire Earth's rotation and shortened the length of days on our planet, a NASA scientist said Monday.


The quake, the seventh strongest earthquake in recorded history, hit Chile Saturday and should have shortened the length of an Earth day by 1.26 milliseconds, according to research scientist Richard Gross at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

"Perhaps more impressive is how much the quake shifted Earth's axis," NASA officials said in a Monday update.


The computer model used by Gross and his colleagues to determine the effects of the Chile earthquake effect also found that it should have moved Earth's figure axis by about 3 inches (8 cm or 27 milliarcseconds).

The Earth's figure axis is not the same as its north-south axis, which it spins around once every day at a speed of about 1,000 mph (1,604 kph).


The figure axis is the axis around which the Earth's mass is balanced. It is offset from the Earth's north-south axis by about 33 feet (10 meters).

Strong earthquakes have altered Earth's days and its axis in the past. The 9.1 Sumatran earthquake in 2004, which set off a deadly tsunami, should have shortened Earth's days by 6.8 microseconds and shifted its axis by about 2.76 inches (7 cm, or 2.32 milliarcseconds).


One Earth day is about 24 hours long. Over the course of a year, the length of a day normally changes gradually by one millisecond. It increases in the winter, when the Earth rotates more slowly, and decreases in the summer, Gross has said in the past.

The Chile earthquake was much smaller than the Sumatran temblor, but its effects on the Earth are larger because of its location. Its epicenter was located in the Earth's mid-latitudes rather than near the equator like the Sumatran event.


The fault responsible for the 2010 Chile quake also slices through Earth at a steeper angle than the Sumatran quake's fault, NASA scientists said.

"This makes the Chile fault more effective in moving Earth's mass vertically and hence more effective in shifting Earth's figure axis," NASA officials said.


Gross said his findings are based on early data available on the Chile earthquake. As more information about its characteristics are revealed, his prediction of its effects will likely change.

The Chile earthquake has killed more than 700 people and caused widespread devastation in the South American country.


Several major telescopes in Chile's Atacama Desert have escaped damage, according to the European Southern Observatory managing them.

A salt-measuring NASA satellite instrument destined to be installed on an Argentinean satellite was also undamaged in the earthquake, JPL officials said.


The Aquarius instrument was in the city of Bariloche, Argentina, where it is being installed in the Satelite de Aplicaciones Cientificas (SAC-D) satellite. The satellite integration facility is about 365 miles (588 km) from the Chile quake's epicenter.

The Aquarius instrument is designed to provide monthly global maps of the ocean's salt concentration in order to track current circulation and its role in climate change.

Chile Earthquake: Is Mother Nature Out of Control?


Chile is on a hotspot of sorts for earthquake activity. And so the 8.8-magnitude temblor that shook the capital region overnight was not a surprise, historically speaking. Nor was it outside the realm of normal, scientists say, even though it comes on the heels of other major earthquakes.

One scientist, however, says that relative to a time period in the past, the Earth has been more active over the past 15 years or so.

The Chilean earthquake, and the tsunami it spawned, originated on a hot spot known as a subduction zone, where one plate of Earth's crust dives under another. It's part of the very active "Ring of Fire," a zone of major crustal plate clashes that surround the Pacific Ocean.

"This particular subduction zone has produced very damaging earthquakes throughout its history," said Randy Baldwin, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

The world's largest quake ever recorded, magnitude 9.5, occurred along the same fault zone in May 1960.

Even so, magnitude-8 earthquakes occur globally, on average, just once a year. Since magnitudes are given on a logarithmic scale, an 8.8-magnitude is much more intense than a magnitude 8, and so this event would be even rarer, said J. Ramón Arrowsmith, a geologist at Arizona State University.

Is Earth shaking more?

The Ryukyu Islands of Japan were hit with a 7.0-magnitude quake just last night. News of this, the Haiti quake and now Chile make it seem Earth is becoming ever more active. But in the grand scheme of things, geologists say this is just Mother Nature as usual.

"From our human perspective with our relatively short and incomplete memories and better and better communications around the world, we hear about more earthquakes and it seems like they are more frequent," Arrowsmith said. "But this is probably not any indication of a global change in earthquake rate of significance."

Coupled with better communication, as the human population skyrockets and we move into more hazardous regions, we're going to hear more about the events that do occur, Arrowsmith added.

However, "relative to the 20-year period from the mid 1970's to the mid 1990's, the Earth has been more active over the past 15 or so years," said Stephen S. Gao, a geophysicist at Missouri University of Science & Technology. "We still do not know the reason for this yet. Could simply be the natural temporal variation of the stress field in the earth's lithosphere." (The lithosphere is the outer solid part of the Earth.)

And while the Chilean earthquake wasn't directly related to Japan's 7.0-magnitude temblor, the two have some factors in common.

For one, any seismic waves that did make their way from Japan to the Chilean coast could play a slight role in ground-shaking.

"It is too far away for any direct triggering, and those distances also make the seismic waves as they would pass by from the Haiti or Japan events pretty small because of attenuation," Arrowsmith told LiveScience. (Attenuation is the decrease in energy with distance.) "Nevertheless, if the Chilean fault surface were close to failure, those small waves could push it even closer."

In addition, both regions reside within the Ring of Fire, which is a zone surrounding the Pacific Ocean where the Pacific tectonic plate and other plates dive beneath other slabs of Earth. About 90 percent of the world's earthquakes occur along this arc. (The next most seismic region, where just 5 to 6 percent of temblors occur, is the Alpide belt, which extends from the Mediterranean region eastward.)

Colliding plates

The Chilean earthquake occurred at the boundary between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates. These rocky slabs are converging at a rate of 3 inches (80 mm) per year, according to the USGS. This huge jolt happened as the Nazca plate moved down and landward below the South American plate. This is called a subduction zone when one plate subducts beneath another.

(Over time, the overriding South American Plate gets lifted up, creating the towering Andes Mountains.)

The plate movement explains why coastal Chile has such a history of powerful earthquakes. Since 1973, 13 temblors of magnitude 7.0 or greater have occurred there, according to the USGS.

In fact, today’s earthquake originated about 140 miles (230 km) north of the source region of the magnitude 9.5 earthquake of May, 1960, considered the largest instrumentally recorded earthquake in the world.

The 1960 earthquake killed 1,655 people in southern Chile, unleashing a tsunami that crossed the Pacific and killed 61 people in Hawaii, Japan, and the Philippines.

In November 1922, a magnitude-8.5 earthquake occurred about 540 miles (870 km) to the north of the Feb. 27 earthquake, triggering a local tsunami that inundated the Chile coast and crossed the Pacific to Hawaii.

Because the recent one was such a huge earthquake, the shaking would likely have caused just as much damage had a similar-sized event occurred elsewhere, said Baldwin, the USGS scientist.

"If [the quake] were in Los Angeles you'd probably have massive destruction too," Baldwin said in a telephone interview.

Breaking the rules of the game to play fairly?

I been doing a lot of thinking about what I have learned about these sexual lifestyles and the different titles and types of sexual natures known as what you are as you do what it is you do.

(WIITWDish)

What we __DO__ know is that everything within the realm of BDSM as we know it, seems to be not only helpful but respectful for consenting adults to adapt within their relationship dynamics no matter what spiritual faith base or cultural balance you support.

So what I have figured out so far is that by the time we become sexual adult minded people, we are capable of finding and keeping fruitful and productive relationships and honor others as well.

But THAT has been a very new awakening in just the past 15 or 20 years or so. And many of us today have lost the FULL memory of how it really used to be. I mean before we were old enough to remember before computers or cell phones or Tv and radio. And I'm hoping that I am reaching a few of you who may still have been too young to really remember when the REASON why parents made us go play outside is because there was VERY LITTLE to do other than chores in the daytime of our past youth. And the truth about growth of our nation and reality as what we see from Sea to Shining Sea...lol

There are JUST AS MANY young new and not so new adults in these lifestyle communities as their are elder types who have worked very hard to carry on the memory of the way things really used to be in our history. Because there is a legacy of protocols and rituals that several cultures also have within their own genetic mysteries. From Leather and Old Guard to Blue Blooded slavery and servitude to shameful memories of genocide and supremacy.

We all can see a reflection of something that we all can desire to live and admire within our desired relationship dynamics, in theory.

But there is a constant scream of "but there is nobody who I can relate that lives in the same state as me...lol"

And that is a ONLINE reality.

So it's a wild kind of vision to envision the sight of everything that is right with the next generations of new adults as they try to mold THEIR evolution more than many of us that have a lifetime history of how these lifestyles used to be, only now this is more of their reality and we are just holding up the walls or trying not to have no space to play well with others who see you as their fathers and mothers, only kinda naked...lol

###*evil grin*

And there is no longer a reason to try to explain why there should be one true way because that is where you are today when others in other places never have to see the faces of your demons that keep you from being where they are in their heads more than in their words.

And WORDS have had more power back in time than it was expected to be law in the Cyber world. And there becomes yet another issue. Because now there are more politics groups and protocol groups on these social sites that are active than there are self help groups for young adults with no older adults in membership.

So life online is becoming hard to find subjects that people with relate too. Without shock value or drama and gossip that others can watch too. And always a need to read each others words as a debate and not a lack of the ability to relate to the OP.

And much of what we suffer from is generational gaps than culture shock from subtle words and strange attentions from people too far away from you to file a complaint...lol

This aint your grandmother and grandfather's vision of freedom of sexual expression in the public realm when the World Wide Web we weave if as dark and as dirty as we tip toe between TOS's and cultural blacklisting just for missing the meaning of a humorous statement at the wrong time. And not enough time to rewind and correct a outside observation and reply in their HO (humble/honest opinion)...

And our children are quickly aging just enough to want to know how to better do this kinky stuff us older folks seem to know a bit more of. And it's hard enough posting your real age. But when your real age becomes the fun age to put on a young persons page like 25, 35, 40ish or 88, it seems that by the time you find out how young these other profile people are and where they have run away from? It's hard to agree on good scene music when they have more songs on their iPod than you can remember good albums you used to listen too that sounds just like that...lol

And as I walk through a land that is more fantasy than reality per capita that the odds of being in a actual mixed crowd can be younger in age than in the ability to know how much more they could be doing if we were not cool enough to let them keep doing what they are doing and not trying to stop them from doing it wrong.


There is no right way.

But there has to be a better way for all of us to do these BDSM lifestyles WDWIITWD....

But this Metro shit is really hard to take when there are more Dominant masochist and submissive Sadist than their are people they like enough to get and idea of what they can deal with and deal with how it is in their street and in their style of life while others have no idea how valuable each person is to their social dynamic more than they are able to learn the one you live without having to write cliff notes for them to read as you flow together or not.

But what is really HAWT, is that somehow I can see a small place in black history for you and Me in the POC BDSM community.

And there is more than Me in this community that can be more expressive if it wasn't for our ability to communicate more civilly.

And I don't think none of yall are deep enough to really be feeling Me.

*pimpish grin*


And sometimes I sit back and think about the First Lady and The President in the White House getting kinky as they want to be.

And I want to be THAT kinky and still just who I be.

American Black History is more than just a memory that our reality too.

Let's take a trip into our recent past.

Back when we all learned how to give each other five...

...on the Black Hand Side.

And this time study the script in this trip back into our black history that now we have to respect as our history and not just a memory.








Before we had cell phones and CNN we had to pretend that we knew about Me and you.

And while we live today we try to say we know where we came from.

But not so long ago.
The history we used to know.
Was all we knew.
Before we knew there was all of you too.
