A New Constitution Needed

inkblot19 — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 17:08:51 +0000

Human nature dictates behavior and policy in the Congress, which can only victimize us all in two many ways. I think the old adage is true. Too many cooks spoil the broth! With major issues facing America: unemployment, financial crises in the family, loss of manufacturing, an unfriendly business development environment, government corruption, healthcare, illegal and legal immigration problems, a false belief that it’s America’s moral obligation to bring freedom to every country in the world, and near bankruptcy of our nation, its time to be truthful. The design of the Congress has been a failure, which our forefathers couldn’t foresee. Based upon the British parliamentary system, we have two houses that can’t agree on anything and two parties that can’t agree on anything except getting re-elected, increasing their personal wealth and power, even if America is destroyed in the process. Think Rome and Greece! I believe we should have one legislative house, three elected from each state, no political parties allowed, no re-election, yearly term like business boards, must have any job but a lawyer, campaign for a month only, paid by contributions only, get rid of only millionaires ruling our lives, two thirds majority to enact a law, and let see how that works! One term president as well, and a Supreme Court. And the only way we go to war is a majority vote of the people. That’s my idea. I’m sure you have your own sensible ideas as well. And like I said, what we have now isn’t working. And I’m fed up being victimized. If a business ran in this manner it would have been closed.

No One Is Minding The Store!

When the GOOD BULLIES do not do their critical jobs, whether in the armed forces, FBI, CIA, police, and probation, then the HEARTLESS BULLIES: terrorists, sadists, child molesters, and murderers are free to victimize the rest of us. This is increasing at an alarming rate. And worse, the world is producing increasingly more HEARTLESS humans that enjoy victimizing us. It is an act of folly to deem this heartless psychiatrist as emotionally disturbed. Depression and psychosis don’t kill or most humans would be killers. Mean, violent and profoundly victimized humans (real or imagined) want to kill. They want to victimize back. They want to make everyone else suffer as they suffer and they don’t much cares what happens to them as they don’t much care what happens to you.

Obama’s Unconscious Masochism

inkblot19 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 22:08:55 +0000

The president has no clue to his normal and natural masochism and by trying to ram down everyone’s throat this health care legislation when he has a recession, monstrous deficit which he wants to worsen, massive unemployment, and a war he can’t resolve, has only resulted in his ruining his presidency and perhaps our lives. Get insight! You’re not only victimizing yourself, you’ll end up victimizing us!

President Obama’s Self-Destructive Nature

inkblot19 — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:49:11 +0000

It was only a matter of time before everyone began to see the president’s self-destructive nature. In the middle of a recession that he would have been a big winner, solving and getting America back on track, what does he do, that he has no self-awareness of, and is being directed by his unconscious, he gets the Congress bogged down and in a struggle with healthcare that he could have waited on, now no one will cooperate with each other, and he is looking like a wimp around the world, and soon you’ll see more countries hating us, and immigration lost out as an issue as well as arresting the bad guys who screwed the economy with phony mortgages! By the end of his term he will make Jimmy Carter look really good.

Blagojevich-Know Thy Self

Fortunate for all of us that heartless individuals will self-destruct at the same intensity. Like his kind, they are deluded in the belief that they can act as heartless as they please and there are no consequences. They’ll have a grand life. Unfortunate for him human nature rules! As a therapist and author of Taming Your Inner & Outer Bullies: Confronting Life’s Stressors And Winning, people have little knowledge about the true nature of our human species. They do not know that how your inner bullies treat you, is how they and you will treat others. They are always equal. It is not a matter of pathology, but of character: Governor Spitzer, O.J. Simpson, Martha Stewart, and President Nixon had no clue to their masochistic natures. Heartless individuals will destroy themselves unless saved by their cronies, celebrity awed juries, or the media and it up to all of us to make sure that doesn’t happen. Now this governor has destroyed his career, probably his family, besmirched politics and politicians further, and will end up in prison. Will the heartless learn from this? The answer is no! Their heartless inner bullies won’t let them. They have to be destroyed.

Business bullies at their worst

inkblot19 — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:05:33 +0000

I have limited knowledge about business, investment, economics, or insurance companies. But I do know a great deal about human nature as a therapist and author. Apparently, without our awareness there have been a vast number of heartless bullies, with equal masochistic natures, in charge of banks and investment companies that didn’t really care about anyone else, certainly not their investors or employees, not even themselves. Lehman Bros. and AIG are destroyed. Merrill Lynch will be gobbled up by Bank of America. It is extremely difficulty for all of us to have have happier lives when they don’t care how they invest our money. It looks like greed is at the heart of the problem, but these are very smart people, highly educated, they knew the incredible risk they were taking, and they probably listened to their inner bullies to believe that no one will ever be hurt. Who would ever back subprime mortgages, initiated by heartless humans at unscrupulous mortgage companies, where I personally know brokers will do anything to make a sales commission? Since people don’t know about their masochistic natures, they don’t know when they unconsciously don’t deserve happier lives, and when they don’t deserve happier lives, they certainly aren’t interested that our lives should be happier. It is a disaster in the making. Character matters. It always matters! It matters in every area of society. What can we do about it? Obviously governments need to make stringent laws to prevent heartless humans from engaging in risky investments that their investors know nothing about! And those who engage in risky investments without telling their investors need to go to prison for a very long time. When we really look at the world, and its history, far too often it is the heartless bullies that are in control.

Charlie Rangel & his ilk

inkblot19 — Sat, 13 Sep 2008 17:21:50 +0000

It is unfortunate that no one is ever taught about character, even if they knew what character was. No one is ever going to teach you that character matters and that all human beings are sado-masochistic, that in fact, we have a bully-victim nature. Our victim nature, for no better term, is best expressed by us being masochistic. Here is an insight. The bigger the bully we are, the bigger the masochist we will be. In other words if have heartless characters, then there is no degree of self-destruction that we won’t accept and long for. In the case of Charlie Rangel, by understanding his masochistic nature, we can understand his whole nature. It was obvious, that sooner than later, that he would be caught not paying taxes on his rental property as well as his receiving special treatment in attaining 4 rent control apartments. What else he has possibly done that breaks the law has not surfaced. These serious situations have spoiled his political career and spoiled his personal and political image. Since Charlie Rangel’s inner bullies don’t seem to want him to have a happier life, he just may not have one after all. Normally, his career would be ruined, but in Congress, with so many other politicians so far successfully hiding their sado-masochistic natures, they will not let Charlie fall out of grace. And if his constiuents engage in ‘collective masochism’, and need to be further victimized by him, then he is safe to continue on with his heartless ways of living, like royalty, while his constituency suffers in poverty and despair. Obviously, character matters when electing politicians. And putting heartless characters in office doesn’t really help anyone. Let him self-destruct. That’s what he really wants and that’s what he deserves. If people really want happier lives, let us keep them out of lives!

Human Nature

A few weeks ago Russia invades Georgian territory. The free world is in an uproar! The audacity of Russia to victimize a helpless smaller nation. Now? It is forgotten news. And worse, it is of no importance to probably 99.9 % of Americans who are caught up with what the media now wants us focused on. This is not an indictment on the media. This is not about criticizing people. It is an enlightenment of human nature. It is not that people don’t care. It’s not that we have a short attention span or insensitivity to the tragedies of others. It is not a flaw in our character. It is really about our masochistic nature. When we do not keep conscious of others victimizing us, or the possibility of being seriously victimized, then we will surely be victimized ourselves. And usually worse. As humans we are no different from other species on the planet. We developed from other species. If you’ve ever seen Zebra or Wildebeast behavior when lions attack, our behavior is quite understandable. The lions attack, the herd scatters, the weakest in the herd is targeted, killed, and eaten. The herd calms and continues along as if nothing happened. The lions strike another day just as they did before. This is the way of nature. It benefits the lions and the other species. However, in human civilization this benefits no one. And we can do something about it. We are not trapped in instinctual behavior. By not keeping a keen focus on all those that wish to victimize us until the situation is resolved, then we will be surely be victimized. Politicians and the media are us. We might hope they are different but they are not. An insight: by not preventing victimizations then our inner bullies win, and we will surely not have a happier life. Your conscious bully might be saying to you as it does for all of us. “Who cares what happens on the other side of the world.” “Georgia probably deserved it.” “Russia won’t dare attack any other nation.” “It’s not our problem.”
