"What A Tangled Web Progressives Weave: Tanya McDowell & Defending The Indefensible" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 Rev. Al Sharpton takes the stage during the NAACP "Equal Education for All" rally at Brookside Elementary School in Norwalk, Conn., Tuesday, June 7, 2011. The rally was in support of Tanya McDowell, a homeless woman from Bridgeport, Conn., arrested for enrolling her child at Brookside, a Norwalk, Conn., school.

Dear Ones:    
     Oh...the shouts and CRIES FOR JUSTICE rang loud and clear!
     Nary a Progressive Lib Dem in the Tri-State area didn't have a strong and vibrant ABSOLUTE OPINION that poor single mother Tanya McDowell was but a woman desperate to make a better life for her child.
     No need to investigate anything...just 'let her' get away with ripping the system off for a very expensive education she HAD NO BONA FIDE RESIDENCY RIGHTS TO!
     Nuff said in 'liberal Connecticut'!
     Now we average people are busy scraping it together to get all our kids their educations and health care with virtually no help from 'the government'.

     So imagine our consternation to be reminded once again that there is a certain class of persons who--by the very essence of the fact that they are 'endorsed' by people like the Rev. Al Sharpton--are deemed to DESERVE SPECIAL TREATMENT.

     Oh, the liberals in CT shouted that 'rally cry' for poor mother Tanya McDowell and her son.
     Oh, how ready all of Rev. Al's sycophants were to not only SUPPORT this apparent 'theft of educational services', but to declare that Tanya is but a VICTIM, worthy of any and everything she should desire.

     We heard this from individuals.  We heard this from the press in their endless 'editorials' admonishing 'anyone not like themselves' (i.e. conservatives) just how 'in charge' of things they are.
     HOW DARE ANYONE NOT SANCTION WHAT THIS 'POOR MOTHER' DID?
     We were reminded that the Progressive Libs of NY and CT have every intention of doing things their way or the highway...their 'way' being the 'high road of moral superiority'.
     For instance, here's a 'petition' on Tanya's behalf from Change.org:
LINK: http://www.change.org/petitions/stop-prosecution-of-homeless-woman-tanya-mcdowell-for-sending-son-to-wrong-school-in-norwalk-ct
     This has been the 'game' around liberal CT for so long that many of us are virtually IMMUNE to the 'outrage' INJUSTICES SUCH AS THIS would engender in a 'normal person'.
     We've come to accept that this is the way it is, starting in Hartford, and that Connecticut is the 'land of the lost' when it comes to moral and ethical direction.
     And the 'Tanya McDowell' situation is but one more reason why the TEA PARTY PATRIOT movement in CT is gaining more and more members, momentum and determination, for those who do not wish to consign their children and grandchildren to this 'status quo'!
     I've understood the 'dynamics' in CT for three decades now and have opined before on my history of 'civil rights' work all through my life up until this 'new age' of 'retribution and pay-back'.
     I cannot tell a lie and I cannot bear false witness.  I cannot endorse what I feel in my soul to be an injustice.  I will not champion one 'group' while vilifying another.  
     And I won't be burdened with pseudo-guilt for something I am not responsible for.
     My philosophy of old age is, "It is what it is and why bother balking the majority while I am clearly in the minority?
     I can 'live and let live', fully satisfied that the Lord knows TRUE JUSTICE better than any of us humans can even pretend to comprehend-- a philosophy which has allowed situations like that of Rev. Al and the NAACP and Mom Tanya flourish unchallenged for quite some time now.
      ...Until a few 'little things' FLARED UP, that is.
     A big OOPSIE occurred for those who championed the cause of Tanya McDowell.
     She was NOT what she pretended to be.  She was NOT an otherwise law-abiding citizen who in one moment of 'desperation' decided to 'steal' an education for her child.
     No.  She was doing some really bad things and actively 'engaged her son' in scenarios revolving around her 'activities' and 'habits'.

 Tanya McDowell sits in court during her arraignment hearing on drug charges Monday June 13, 2011 in Norwalk Superior Court in Norwalk, Ct. McDowell, a homeless single mother accused of illegally enrolling her son in the wrong Connecticut school district, was arrested June 10 and charged with allegedly selling crack and marijuana to undercover officers in Norwalk, Ct. McDowell was charged in April with larceny for allegedly stealing education services for her young son by enrolling him in the wrong Connecticut school district

     I don't know about Progressive Libs, but as a rule, I do not believe it is in a child's best interest to have him or her around crack cocaine, marijuana, pimps and prostitutes.
     So trying to make a 'federal case' over her child's education seems a little opportunistic--even for the likes of the NAACP and Sharpton.
     It is my opinion that the ONLY victim here is Tanya McDowell's poor little son...and that for having a crook for a mother who is being supported and enabled by a majority population in CT, that majority being the Progressive Libs.
     But ultimately, these Progressive Libs will be forced to deal with their own inability--in their 'altruistic zeal'--to recognize 'worthy causes' from 'non-worthy causes'.
     And I'm not speaking of what MAN OR WOMAN deems to be worthy, but rather what is worthy in the eyes of the Lord.
     Progressive Libs--like the rest of us--will be held accountable for our thoughts, deeds, words and actions.
     As usual, I expect the NAACP and the Rev. Al Sharptons of the world to dig their heels in and justify their 'Tanya-McDowell-and-Tawana-Brawley-MOMENTS' as examples of RACISM and moan about all sorts of 'victimhood' at the hands of whoever their latest 'villain' is.
     So I have some advice for them:
     Save you breath.  We've heard it before a thousand times to the point of boredom.
      Do a mea culpa if you have the strength of will and moral turpitude to do so.  It'll be good for your soul.
     The very essence of 'the Connecticut paradigm' is a disturbing one, for those looking from the outside 'in'. 
     This is a state which finds itself  awash with skewed 'justice', racial inequality, confounded and spurious 'law making' (or attempts of the same) which is causing honest, tax-paying CT citizens a fortune.
     Businesses are rightfully fleeing this state in view of what they see around them and because of punitive taxes intended to punish them for 'having been too successful'.
     Local governments in Stamford are rift with charges of corruption and Bridgeport is awash with claims of 'voter fraud'.

"¹⁵ Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent—
   the LORD detests them both."  Proverbs 17:16  (NIV)

Harry Reid: ‘The time has come for us to outlaw prostitution’

By Anjeanette Damon, David McGrath Schwartz, Cy Ryan

Published Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2011
CARSON CITY — Sen. Harry Reid on Tuesday called for “an adult conversation” about prostitution in Nevada, saying it is an impediment to economic development because it discourages businesses from moving here.
“Nevada needs to be known as the first place for innovation and investment – not as the last place where prostitution is still legal,” he said in a speech to the Nevada Legislature......"

"......Dennis Hof, a flamboyant brothel owner, arrived at the Legislature about 90 minutes before Reid was scheduled to speak. Hof was accompanied by eight working girls from his brothel outside Carson City."
"Harry Reid will have to pry the cat house keys from my cold dead hands," he told the media.
READ THE REST HERE: http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2011/feb/22/reid-vs-brothel-industry

Dear Readers:

     Make no mistake about it, prostitution has always been with us and is likely 'here to stay'.

     In fact, the Bible, itself, is rift with mention of this profession in it's various incarnations:
--sometimes redemptively 'flattering' as in the story of God-fearing 'Rahab', the brave prostitute who hid and helped two Israelis spying in Jericho escape with their lives
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua+2&version=NIV
--sometimes (rightly or wrongly, but in my opinion the latter...) as a 'repentant prostitute' in the tradition of Mary Magdalene
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+20&version=NIV
---and sometimes in the 'no-holds-barred' tradition of the metaphor of the 'Great Whore Of Babylon', who in collusion with 'the Antichrist' and the 'Beast' wrecks havoc on earth and humankind in their 'final days'.
LINK: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017-18&version=NIV
     Of course, other prostitutes, concubines, sex slaves and all sorts of sexual activities are elaborated upon in Scripture (listen up you who think the Bible is all irrelevant and boring ramblings of stern old men!).
     In fact, Biblical stories of 'fallen women' are a very powerful reflection of the realities of life of earth...in times past, currently, as well as in the future.
     To write the 'Good Book' off as 'mere arcane and imaginary writings' (as I once did for the first 37 years of my life as a proud atheist/agnostic) is to do it a great injustice.  (Note: You OWE IT to yourself to read the Bible NOW, if you never have before!)
     But I digress....
     Back to the surprising 'stance' of the uber-liberal Harry Reid, I stand with those who simply cannot believe that 'Prince Harry', as Tea Party Patriots call him, is SO up-in-arms about the legal prostitution business in Nevada.
     It boggles the mind that Progressive Lib Dem Harry Reid is actually BLAMING Nevada's financial woes on the 'world's oldest profession'.
     Not only is it 'counter-intuitive', but it smacks of the kind of perverse 'self-righteousness' exhibited by those who consider themselves to be totally 'above the frey'.
     Is Prince Harry SQUAWKING too much because he has something to hide, like the fact that HE and his CRONIES are responsible for not only the pathetic financial state of Nevada, but of the entire U.S.A., itself?
     Is the 'gentleman (ahem) from Nevada' objecting just a little too much?
     I think so. 
     And I think that Harry Reid is barking up a storm over Nevada brothels not so much because he hails from a position of 'high moral import'...but because he craves to be in the spotlight, once again and he'll do whatever it takes to get back there.
     Don't get me wrong-engaging in prostitution has enough negative ramifications.
     Those who do it for a living must face a myriad of consequences and life-impacts that are more often bad than good.
     Prostitution, gambling, booze, drugs, abortion, sexually transmitted diseases and various forms of 'abuse' are always potential cohabitants in the lives of the Bunny Ranch babes and their sisters.
     Family and friends are affected, not to mention 'significant others', if there are any.
     But, at least in Nevada some level of legal regulation is applied to and oversees the prostitution industry, which is more than we can say about the dog-and-pony show we have been forcefully subjected to by Nancy Pelosi and the 'squawking' Prince Harry.
     I don't know what set Reed 'off' here, but I think he's off-base.
     Doesn't he realize that it was Mary Magdalene, that 'fallen-woman-wrongly-branded-as-a-prostitute' by eons of male chauvinist church leaders who first saw the 'empty tomb' and then the Risen Christ?
     Doesn't Harry realize that it was 'the women'--those branded 'sainted' and 'fallen' and those 'in-between' who stayed with Christ under the cross...prepared his body for burial...and then were the first to 'see' him again after resurrection?
     The lesson here is that the way of Jesus is one of understanding, forgiveness and 'rebirth'.
     I urge Prince Harry to 'revisit' these tenets in the religion he claims for himself which is Mormon, also known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
     And as one who has 'worked' with prostitutes with my street and church ministries for many moons, I speak from the soft places of my heart.
     I want to remind my sisters everywhere and whatever they do for a living, that they can, at any time, earnestly pray to 'our God of second chances and new beginnings'...
     And know we will all be heard.
May God Bless You
With Love in Christ

"Affetto Lifelike Baby Robot Head In The Works" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

"Facial motion test of AFFETTO From: projectaffetto

February 06, 2011
Facial motion test of Affetto, which is an child robot that is currently under development in emergent robotics laboratory at Osaka university for simulating infant cognitive development. Its face is created realistically so as to be treated as a human being by human caregivers, not as a robot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Quai3SpKD08&feature=player_profilepage
Dear Ones:     
     All these years, I thought only God could 'build a baby'. 
     But here we have 'Project Affetto' (trans: 'Project Affection') which is trying to do just that!
LINK: http://www.youtube.com/user/projectaffetto 
     "Minoru Asada, a professor of Adaptive Machine Systems at Osaka University in Japan and head of the JST ERATO Asada Project, along with two of his colleagues; Hisashi Ishihara, a PhD candidate at Osaka University; and Yuichiro Yoshikawa, from the Dept. of Adaptive Machine Systems at Osaka University have developed a child-like robot platform called Affetto."
LINK: http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-02-affetto-realistic-robot-baby-video.html 
     The Project is the first 'stages' of production, starting with the head, as we can see. 

WATCH THIS ON YOUTUBE:
http://www.youtube.com/user/projectaffetto#p/a/u/0/VXgKNFQE-4I
     Perhaps you'll be pleased to know that an announcement 6 hours ago from this publication informs us that Project Affetto is currently 'assembling the torso', so we won't just have a disembodied robo-baby head wobbling around on some lab bench or table top.
     What do you think about all this?  Any thoughts? 
     Is this an enlightened endeavor which can potentially assist in prostheses research, child care and health care 'training' and the like?
     Or is it potentially 'wrong', with the possibility of somehow providing a 'safe' way for certain souls to engage in 'robo-child abuse', as is their nature?
     It is well-established now that those who abuse animals 'go on to' abuse/maim/kill humans. 
     Perhaps the advent of 'lifelike' humanoid robo-technology will likewise provide a 'safe-yet-still-wrong' avenue for abusers, pedophiles, sex offenders and 'perverts' to get their jollies thinking they can do it with 'impunity' with lifelike robots of all types, genders and ages.
     This group will need to be well-heeled, of course, for personal ownership of the lifelike robots Japan is making it something for the very rich at this point. 
     Surely human 'progress' is unrelenting.  I confess to finding myself, after many years of study, doubt and skepticism, carefully supportive of some of the inroads made into robotic technology, in the field of surgery, for instance. 
     As with 'steering ratio' mechanics on cars, robotic surgical devices are configured to 'modulate' the motions of the human hand, thereby 'smoothing out' any shakiness and the occasional 'oops'.
     The risk of mishaps and 'slips' is minimized with robotic surgery in such a way that surgical procedures can be undertaken to the benefit of the patient, which could not be achieved using bare eyes and hands, alone.
     Just witness the success of the da Vinci Surgical System at Stamford Hospital and elsewhere around the world:
LINK: http://www.stamfordhospitalrobotic.com/

http://www.davincisurgery.com/davinci-surgery/

     The da Vinci is meeting with tremendous success, with the two caveats that: 1) a capable surgical team is standing by in the event of 'robo-failure' of any sort...And 2) that the surgical robot is under the direct control and supervision of humans, who are the ultimate care givers and decision-makers.

     The field of robotic bioethics is still in it's infancy.  Yet I can foresee a day soon when these 'responsive robots' who are imbued with 'decision-making capabilities' and seemingly true-to-life responses will indeed prove once and for all to have a 'mind of their own'.
     It is potentially possible that as robots become more capable of learning and approach a state of true sentience, that we humans will have our hands full with dealing with the bio and nanoethics of the situation.
     Perhaps a da Vinci will deliberately 'override' the operating surgeons 'command'.  Perhaps a teaching robot will learn to 'experience pain', learn to complain about it and refuse to participate any further in any 'teaching clinics'.   Perhaps a robo-soldier will one day 'refuse a direct order on moral grounds'...Who knows?
     It may be that unscrupulous 'programmers' will provide wanton killers on the battlefield, robo-prostitutes (Japan already has a 'sex doll prostitution' industry) and robo-victims for hire to those who enjoy inflicting pain and suffering on others.
     The field of robotics fairly screams of potential to the black market.  With robo-black box implants and robo-cams, one can only imagine what 'robo-blackmail' will be like, too. 
     Perhaps...could be...there are a lot of possibilities here, both good and bad, as far as lifelike human robots are concerned.
     God give us the grace and discernment to properly use the knowledge and skills He has so graciously given us to benefit all of humankind.
Blessings,
Reverend Barbara Sexton
