I've Decided To Retire My Blog
No great surprise as over the past year I've really not paid attention to making posts. Life changes, forcing one to make decisions on what's really important. Also one starts to realize that time is precious and not to be wasted. So most of my free time these days are spent on my family and myself. For my family, things like helping with school science projects and watching my daughter's soccer are important. For myself, I continue to spend it on BaGua, and to implement my road running program again. And you add taking care of the house, the expanded family, friends... oy! There just is no time.
Perhaps one day I'll spin up another blog. For my family and friends, I'll let you know when that happens.
So let me post my last musings and observations:
Terri Schiavo
- In the beginning I felt bad for the parents, the husband, and for Terri. My opinion (as if it matters) is that she should be allowed to die. After all the news coverage and over-saturation of this story I'm starting to hate everyone associated with this: the parents, the husband, the protesters, the government. All of you are proving to be idiots.
- The Federal government and local state governments need to butt out of people's lives and choices.
- All these celebrities who voice their support for Terri are idiots as well. Butt out of people's lives.
- I find it amusing these protesters who rush to give Terri water. What are they going to do when they get in the room? Give her a cup of water?
- The media should stop running that videotape of Terri. First, it was made years ago. Second, there were hours of tape, yet only the footage of her moving and her "reacting" make it to air. Where the footage where she isn't reacting?
- She's a vegetable. Let her go.
- To her parents, I'm sorry, let her go.
- To the protesters: Living as a vegetable is not living. Just because we have the science to keep bodies "alive" doesn't mean it is life. Living as a zombie is not life. Go do something useful, like helping the people in Indonesia.
- There should be a better way to let people die than to starve them to death. Morphine?
- I find it ironic that it was her eating disorder that caused her to go brain dead. Now she's being denied food.
- Jesse Jackson: You are an idiot. Get off the airwaves you loser.
Michael Jackson
- The pervert is guilty.
BK Enormous Omelet
- That rocks! Screw the health fad. If people want to eat a 700+ calorie sandwich, more power to them. No one is holding a gun to their heads.

Tsunami Politics
On one of the forums I occasionally read (surprisingly not a martial arts forum) someone had asked if anyone heard about Hollywood responding to the tsunami crisis. While I'm trying to avoid all the politics around the Tsunami crisis (like the local stupid conversative talk radio idiots of late)this was an interesting article that I thought I would post.
Also to be fair at this writing the news is reporting Sandra Bullock has donated one million dollars to assist. Thumbs up for her.

“Evil” Corporations – not Hollywood – Help Tsunami Victims
by Bonnie Chernin Rogoff
03 January 2005
As the death toll rises above 125,000, American corporations have responded with millions of dollars in contributions.
As the death toll rises above 125,000 with countless injured, widowed and orphaned, there has been a rush of aid and supplies to millions of the tsunami’s victims. Assistance came from a variety of “unlikely” sources, such as President Bush and large corporations, much to the chagrin of the liberal media and Hollywood elite. The network news bureaus and largely liberal entertainment industry have remained eerily silent regarding this devastating global crisis. Indeed, at this time of year most of the entertainers go on winter holiday to the slopes or sunny beaches. To date, they have ignored the crisis rather than help the relief efforts and lend their support for donations.
The vile and rotund Michael Moore is filming his docudrama Sicko on the so-called “evil” pharmaceutical industry. Moore will certainly omit the timely and generous contributions made by this altruistic industry sector. As of December 31, 2004 the following pharmaceutical giants have donated and/or pledged for the Southeast Asia tsunami disaster relief effort:
• Pfizer Inc. $10 million cash and $25 million in drugs to relief agencies
• Merck & Co. $3 million in cash
• Both Abbott Laboratories and Johnson and Johnson have pledged $2 million in cash. Johnson and Johnson is also supplying needed medical supplies and drugs.
• Bristol Myers Squibb $1 million in cash and $4 Million in much needed anti-biotics.
• Roche Group and GlaxoSmithKline Plc will announce shortly their own disaster relief contributions.
Another past target of Moore’s vitriol is General Motors. GM just pledged over $2 million in cash, agreed to match employee donations and will provide vehicles to transport medical supplies and food to the stricken region.
The voices of the entertainment elite were energized against President Bush during the recent election campaign, but they have yet to respond to this international emergency. Our “heartless” President raised the U.S. relief pledge tenfold in less than a week to a staggering $350 million. How long would it take to organize a Tsunami-Aid concert via Pay-Per-View to collect donations? By the time Bruce Springsteen, Bono and the others return to the microphones, thousands more will die from starvation and disease. Activist actors such as Ben Affleck, Susan Sarandon, Al Franken, P. Diddy, and Barbra Streisand have not been heard from. Oh, and where is George Soros and his billions when you need him? Too busy distributing rolling paper and needles for addicts?
President Bush was roundly criticized by the media for failing to issue an immediate statement from his Crawford, Texas ranch regarding the devastation. However, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan was given a free pass. Amidst this serious global catastrophe the Secretary General remained in Colorado on holiday for three additional days after the tsunami hit. When confronted by a Fox News reporter why it took him so long to return to UN headquarters, Kofi replied that he monitored the situation via the Internet while away. Perhaps the Secretary General was plotting with his son how to auction off the remaining Iraqi food-for-oil vouchers on e-Bay.
By way of contrast, President Bush was fully informed and actively working on a U.S. response to the crisis from his Crawford ranch. He appointed both Secretary of State Colin Powell and brother Governor Jeb Bush to lead America’s relief efforts. The President fully supports a European hosted Tsunami aid conference, which probably will reduce the UN influence over the aid effort.
More disgusting than the personal failures of the entertainment industry to act is the ungrateful and obviously anti-Semitic response from Sri Lanka’s government to Israel’s attempt to aid disaster victims. A lack of accommodations in Columbo and airport congestion was cited as Sri Lanka’s excuse for refusing a 150 man Israeli relief mission that included 60 members of the Israel Defense Forces. An uproar from Sri Lanka’s small but vocal Muslim community was cited as the true reason. To be fair, reports reaching the West cite individual Sri Lanka citizens providing food and shelter to stranded foreign tourists, including Americans, and for that we are grateful.
Special recognition should be afforded to Hong Kong entertainers, Jackie Chan, Chow-Yun-fat and tycoon Li Ka-shing for their generous assistance. Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova donated $10,000 for Thailand disaster relief. She and Venus Williams are also providing moral support by participating in an exhibition match in Chiang Mai. Other major corporations deserving special recognition and thanks for their efforts include: Nike Inc., American Express, General Electric, First Data Corp., Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Exxon-Mobil, Citigroup, Marriott International and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Kudos to the Catholic Relief Services for its generous pledge of $25 million for emergency relief and long-term programs.
Our prayers and thoughts are with all those impacted by this monumental natural disaster.

Happy New Year! 2005!
That's it. Have a Happy New Year.
Yin and Yang
Yin - Taking the money you would have spent doing "First Night" in Boston and donating it to the Tsunami Relief Fund.
Yang - Arguing with the Blockbuster Guy about how you returned your movie in time, and not a month later like the "computer" says. Neutral ending to the issue, Blockbuster won't refund the $10 fee (the wife paid when she went in alone) but they will credit the account $10. Works for me, somewhat.

Tsunami Relief Organizations
With the death count at 120,000+ due to the Tsunami in South East Asia, it truly is worth re-posting what I wrote on a couple of different martial arts forums.
Help out how you can.
----------------------------------
Hi Guys,
I thought I would cut this portion out of a previous thread just to highlight some of the various groups taking donations to aid those affected by the Tsunami disaster. I know there are many other groups out there so I encourage you to help out with what you can.
As someone on the radio pointed out, no matter what your political or religious beliefs, if this isn't a cause for you to help, I don't know what is. It really just boils down to one person helping another person in need.
Also I encourage you to add to this list if you hear of anything that can assist those in the disaster zone.
Peace,
-Leo
