Bonnie's Memorial

This last weekend we had family gather from around the world to remember our cousin Bonnie and to scatter her ashes beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. Kristi, Jason and Cole came from New Zealand, Michelle came from Virginia (I think), Joy Ann came up from LA (we won't hold that against her, much), Kari came from Arizona, Becky and Jaden came from Utah, Mike, Lora, Serenity and me came all the way from Pleasanton while Maryann and Topanga came from the other side of San Francisco.

After sailing the bay and sprinkling the ashes we had lunch at Aliotos and went out to the California Academy of Science. Although it was a sad occasion it was good to gather family from near and far and spend a little time together. I hope we can all get together some time with less time pressure and for a happier occasion some day.

Here is a slide show of a few pictures I took:

    Sounds like you had a great time and the pictures are wonderful. It was fun to see Kristy, Jason & Cole, Becki & Jayden, etc., through your great pictures. Thanks for sharing. Love you, Mom

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

I give up.

Over the last couple of years I have made a huge effort to convince myself that the Lutheran view of government had some merit. I've read everything recommended by Lutherans on the subject but I just can't make myself believe it. I can't believe it because I am certain that it is, quite simply, wrong. It is possible that I misunderstand the Lutheran position still, but I don't think that is the case. Lutherans teach that government is a blessing from God, a positive good. I think that this is wrong. In reality government is a curse and an evil. Even God warned Israel that a king (government) was a terrible idea that was against His will for them. (1 Samuel 8:4-19) We are certainly commanded in Romans 13:1-7 to obey and honor those in power over us, but in no place in the New Testament, at least no place that I'm aware of, is it even remotely implied that we ought to participate actively in any government, even less is it implied that we have some duty to part
