Ken Stabler Belongs in the Hall of Fame

5/28/2012

Ken Stabler came through for the Oakland Raiders in the big games even when some of his teammates did not. He led the Raiders to the championship game 1973-1977 and played well in every one of those games.

Against the Dolphins in '73, he had the Raiders on a comeback and got a key fourth down conversion before the running back fumbled. The running game let him down in 1974 against the Steelers when he still passed for almost 300 yards. The next year, he led the Raiders down field late in the game and nearly pulled off ten points in the last seventeen seconds. He finally beat the Steelers in '76 with a great game. The 1977 game against the Broncos was a heartbreaker because of a horrible call, but Stabler played on and hit Dave Casper twice for touchdowns in the last quarter in a 20-17 loss.

In other playoff games, he threw a TD pass to Clarence Davis to win a game and scored a touchdown to beat the Patriots in another with ten seconds left. And no one can forget the "Ghost to the Post" game against Baltimore in 1977. He ALWAYS did well in the playoffs.

I liked watching him because he didn't mind taking a gamble and making the game fun to watch! He belongs in the Hall because he took the right gambles and won so many times!

Forget about Free Will or Fate

5/27/2012

If I had free will, what would that mean?

Would I still have to deal with the uncontrollable things in life - my DNA, the weather, and decisions made by others?

I am skeptical of the idea of free will because our freedom to will is so limited.

I am under six feet tall.  Even if I will to be an NBA star, does it matter?

I doubt free will.

I do not like the concept of fate, either.  I reject the idea that my life is guided by some force or that it has been determined ahead of time.

How can anyone prove their fate, anyway?

We are handed a number of characteristics and circumstances.  We play the cards we are dealt.  Not everyone gets a chance at a royal flush.

We are free to imagine things being better, but our choices are as limited as the people we are.  We can work on freeing ourselves of limitations but in doing so, our will really is not free.

We are free to make what for most are easy decisions - pay the rent, don't commit a crime - but when the decisions get tougher, we are reminded we are not free to disregard consequences.

Nothing is really free.  Fate is only understood in hindsight where it can be explained but not proven.

Michael Thurman writes "Forget the towers, the hocus pocus that Hartwell describes around the planes could crack this affair wide open.  He doesn't provide all the answers, but his analysis is spot on. He asks the right questions that no one else seems to be asking. Highly recommended." (5/21/12)

R. Rycoff states "There had NEVER BEFORE IN HISTORY been 4 simultaneous hijackings of airliners!!" (5/12/12)

The Truth Won't Set Us Free - We Must Set It Free

5/4/2012

0 Comments

We realize at some point in our formative years certain truths.  Only one kid is the smartest kid in the class and it is not us.  The person we have a crush on may not have a crush on us.  We get privileges like driving at roughly the same rate that we get responsibilities (like paying for gasoline or insurance).

The harder truths welcome us to adulthood.  We have to find a way to pay the bills, to work with bosses and co-workers who see the world differently than we do and some of us get interesting neighbors.

These are the truths that we handle.  We go to work, we play by the rules of society and we deal with the consequences when we do not.

But some truths make us feel uncomfortable.  These truths typically come to our attention when the rules are murky and we have no one to ask for advice.

Take, for example, a situation where one is a witness to a crime.  The rules of society urge us to report the activity to the police, and I am sure most people do so.  But what if the police are involved in the crime, or one’s employer?  The consequences of acting approach the consequences of not doing so.

Let’s say the witness to the crime is an advisor to a candidate for high office. And the witness sees the candidate involved in illegal campaign contributions and falsifying campaign finance reports.

The witness now has several factors to consider: Do I tell anyone?  Who would I tell?  How badly will I be harming the campaign (that the witness otherwise believes in)?  Whom could I ask for advice who won’t tell the candidate?  Can I tell an authority this information anonymously?  If my name is given to the candidate by the person I tell, will I be fired?  Will I then be able to get another job?

The truth of what happened here is indisputable.  The truth of what to do about it is far more complex.

Some accounts of the truth depend upon the teller.  People who have much to lose typically show no interest in giving the whole story about what they know.

A man goes to a workshop entitled “Finding the Truth.”  He listens to the lecturer drone on and on about a number of different topics.  Afterward, he decides to approach the lecturer and ask him, “What is the truth?”

“The truth reveals itself every day.”

Puzzled by this response, the man asked others attending the class what the truth was.  They replied that “the truth is as the professor says.”

Frustrated, he went to the cashier’s booth to ask for his money back.  The cashier looked at him and asked why.

“I didn’t get my money’s worth about finding the truth!”

“The truth is that if you walk away now, you will lose your opportunity to join the elite club.”

The lecturer, the other attendees and the cashier all told the truth, but simply failed to mention one fact to the man: they were involved in a pyramid scheme.

So some truths do not dare speak their name.  And some questions with certain individuals will be completely ineffective.  For example, if you ask a devout Christian whether the Resurrection took place, do you really think their answer will be anything but affirmative?

Getting the truth about any topic of interest rarely involves one question.  The witness to the campaign crime cannot determine the best approach without going through a series of questions like the one described.

And some questions are misplaced.  The man who attended the lecture could have asked the professor what the lecture had to do with finding the truth.  And one could ask a devout Christian why they believe in the Resurrection.

Setting the truth free involves going through the circumstances around it and then picking a set of questions that pinpoint what one needs to know.
