Welcome to kjh-es.com Hope is free, Remedy can be, and Peace is what we need. I hope better times are on the way, but I don't know (nobody knows the future...) - "human fusion" is what the future could be. It means individuals choosing to cooperate for the benefit of everyone. It can "take on a life of its own" ---- exponentially; and I know that I want "the cooperative Spirit" to grow rapidly. This Spirit is desperately needed now perhaps moreso than ever. We can choose to work for ourselves & each other. We can help each other out. Some will provide the food. Some will provide goods. Some will enable other services. Everyone will bring something to the table and everything ought to be on the table for the good of us all. Lets do it... ...of course, we could just keep doing what we've been doing for oh so long, but that seems to me to be a dead end for us all. It is Sunday June 29th 2008 or so they say around these hearn parts. Anyhow, here is my funky rambling "thought experiment" of the day (Note: edited on 6/30/08): Take a straight line inside of a circle. Rotate the line on an axis located at the center of the circle in a fixed two-dimensional plane (think of a clock). How many positions are there to orient the line? Now I think I know the answer and it depends on many things. If the line is infinitely thin then there are obviously infinite orientations I suppose. If the line has "uniform" thickness, then it depends on whether it is permitted to overlap amongst the orientations. If not, then the number of orientations is finite and depends upon the line's thickness. If it is allowed to overlap in orientations, then it gets more complicated depending on the "overlapping restrictions". Now does anyone here believe that infinitely thin lines or even lines with uniform thickness exist? I do, but I know that they are imaginary - they only exist in my mind and I don't see how this could be any different for anyone else. [TANGENT: An infinitely thin line would be like a clipped "zero" (0) that was then bent and stretched into a line. But, I think zero is also imaginary as is infinity. Infinity might be but how could this ever be proven (all the data will never be in!!!). Same with zero in a way - perhaps it might have been per one definition, but we will never know - how could we. You can't go back in time, and even if you could, it won't be the same as it was - now will it?]. Zero and infinity are not that "big a deal", but if you are not careful and "play around" with these concepts (mathamatically and otherwise) without understanding them it can lead to unforseen and totally unexpected consequences. Sort of like what we are in the midst of today in my humble opinion. We can do better and we will because "the truth" has a way of pulling things back when they get too far astray. OK, now is Monday's funky question: If a family of four wanted to eat a chicken once every two weeks and have eggs for the year, and be able to do this year after year, how many chickens should they start off with? Please explain in one page or less. It should be understood that it depends on where you live, so provide information for your local area. Hey, there was a little tiny weeny bug on my screen, but anyhow did you see that story about the Kennedy Wisconsin lad. Survived 10 days (or was it 7?) in the woods. Survived all along. Survived using his natural wit. Way to hold on Kennedy. OK, now for something else. Here is a summer "extra credit" opportunity to conduct an experiment: 1. Flip 8 coins 1000 times or more (the more the better). 2. After each flip, document outcome. 3. Create a plot showing each possible outcome and the number of times each outcome occurred. 4. Describe the plot (or I could say what are your "sensibilities" regarding the plot that has been created by virtue of your tossing experiment). 5. Anything else you think is worth adding? So, if you choose to do this, just send me your results via e-mail. My e-mail address is around here somewhere - you should be able to find it. I will publish a study documenting the results - there could be some interesting outcomes in particular with respect to "error associated with coins". In fact, the more you "document" about the experiment the more valuable the results will most likely be. Bonus - write a short one page paper discussing an informative factor that can be derived from the following terms: speed, energy, mass. The factor I have in mind would be an excellent "objective" indicator of transportation attributes (how "speedy" for how much energy for a given weight of occupants and a set distance covered). The value for a train will be much different than a plane. The value for individual trains will usually be closer but will still vary (same for planes and other types of transportation). Here is my take on it, if you need to go somewhere fast, the option could be there, but the price should be recompense. If you don't need to go real fast, it is usually much much more efficient (use way less energy for a given set of occupants to cover a given distance) to just take it slow....you will get to your destination it probably will take a bit longer but it will be quick enough). Hey get some work done while traveling if you want to....or just look out the window.....whats the rush? By the way, sorry of that bonus seems a bit confusing. But remember no-body is forcing any-body to to nothing any thing. Its free. Peace, Ken. .. How about this: "The game of ideas" The ideas that are good for all of US emerge, take hold, & prevail...No ideas are forced on anyone and it is all done... By choice of the People - ALL of the People For the GOOD of everyone everywhere......All of US...All of humanity.... *********************************************************************************************************************************************** Hey - you might be interested in the short story at the bottom of the page....plus check out the saga of "schmitt's it" (discussed below...) NOTE from website developer (ME): Hey U R at this website so U either: (1) Made a mistake; or (2) R curious. If U made a mistake, no harm done between U and Φ. If U R curious, please look around. (U - You; R - Are; Φ - I, or maybe "eye", or as Scotty would say: "Aye Captain") about me: My life so far has been blessed in many ways. I am thankful, but at the same time my senses have felt dulled and disconnected by the emptiness of "modern life" in the US of A. I'm tired of the status quo and of heartless science that seems to have lost touch with humanity. I've become indignant with those who consider themselves "leaders" but only care for a few and who seem to selfishly, ruthlessly, and mindlessly worship money (power) and ego above all else with no empathy for others. In fact, due to my indignation, I one-time challenged DC (dick cheney) to a boxing match, but I have yet to hear anything back, and now it is too late...probably for the best anyhow.....I grew up in Buffalo, N.Y. a good catholic boy who didn't even know it was cold. I moved to Charlotte, N.C. when I was 12, and except for a few years after college, I've lived in North Carolina ever since. In 2007, I gave up my old steady job and have since been striving for something better that I know can be because I can sense it. So there you have it. The scoop on me. Hey its 7/3, 12:23 pm (the day before the 232 anniversery of some document signing...). Anyhow, here is my thought for the day triggered by some "Lord Michael Nolan" saying that I disagreed with. Anyhow, here is my saying: It is good to be lucky, but better to be good. Here is another saying I don't care for: "better lucky than good" - you ever heard something so stupid? Lucky doesn't make happy & lucky don't no nothing bout good. buffalo_ken@kjh-es.com

Welcome Again... Prediction: If we choose to work together, on so many levels, likelihood of things getting better: ~100%. How could it be else-wise? ...and lets not forget about imagination either. Imagine the possibilities.... OK, here is one more summer 08 idea mainly for the younger folk, but anybody could do this: Prepare a letter (you know a "snail mail" letter) and mail it. Try to send it to someone who you think might want to be your "pen-pal". Just an idea..... It is time to start making amends in oh so many ways. "Good faith" talks at the table followed by "actions of remedy" are imperative to end current conflict, prevent future conficts, and avoid pointless ongoing suffering of innocence. We need humane, honest, and humble leaders who strive for justice and fairness in the interest of the People. ALL People everywhere. We are ALL connected. We are ALL related. We need humane leaders who are NOT in the pockets of a few and who know their leadership is vested and will only last as long as they remain humane. There is no power in "ill-gotten gains"....only a gnashing of the teeth and a dwindling of the mind. Those who hoard will know no joy. Those who deceive are only fooling themselves. Are you not tired of seemingly perpetual confict? I am, and I am ready for something better. We need an honest recognition of history and then a genuine striving for a peaceful future. I know where my allegiances lie. See the following website for an example of a step towards restoration of balance: http://www.republicoflakotah.com/ !!!!!!!! The times they are a changing -- BIG Time......The Truth wants out -- In Reality Do you want to be free? Do you want liberty? Remedy is a calling. What will it be for U? !!!!!!!! Mesage to all: Be INWIT !!!!!! To me, the meaning of inwit can get lost in the words, but I think it is an attempt to make a "call for inward knowledge" -- or maybe, you could say "a call for conscience" or even more simply "a call for better behavior". We should all be able to understand this "multi-level" call for improved and improving relationships. Check em out - Two Three "inwit" links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agenbite_of_inwit http://www.worldwidewords.org/weirdwords/ww-inw1.htm And now with tremendous excitement, I would like to announce that the original link I had here (which had been mysteriously removed) is back!!!! This is a good omen in my mind. Anyhow, here it is: http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20000118 ****************************************************************************************** These days there seems to be so much damn posturing and pretense. Women are being killed for nothing more than expressing their beauty. Babies are dying so that cars can keep driving. People are hungry and homeless while a few hoard so much. Its a sick-sick-sick, upside-down, twisted-and-bound pyramid scheme. It cannot go on. So many thieves of choice. So much hate. So much unconscionable behavior. I sense a great pool of mixed nothingness where no individual remains awaiting those who perpetuate suffering of innocence. Are you pushing your will for selfish ends? How can anyone think they are superior? The babies born and yet to be are demanding justice. Is it not obvious? Karma remembers and Karma responds. Better to be humble. Better to be meek. Better to share and to help others. Better to be amongst those where love has infinite value and money is of no import. Better to care for each other. Better to work together for the benefit of all. Can't we reclaim joy, peace and harmony based on individual equality and dignity and collective cooperation? There is plenty to go around. Enough for everyone. If you have more than your fair share, it will only weigh you down. Open your eyes, your ears, your nostrils, your mouth, and your feelings. Be sensible and let go of ego and fear. I think stronger forces are coming into play and these forces have reverence for innocence and reverence for life. These forces will work together and grow stronger day-by-day. These forces want love and peace. These forces understand. These forces are connected, determined, persistent, and will not be denied. These forces will prevail because in the long run life favors cooperation. Awaken. Awaken. Awaken...before it is too late.... The sea is alive and the sea senses. The planet is alive and has been offended by a few who refuse to learn. Mother Earth rewards those who behave reverently with humility. Those who push war and fear will reap what they sow - individually. Life goes on with or without humanity. Peace is on the way. Peace and Harmony for Life. So much better if done together. So much better if done together.

Thought about Artistry... does it not seem as if creativity & "destruction" are very closely related. When something is "destroyed" (i prefer the word "changed"), something else is created (often many things are created). Can you really have one without the other? I don't think so, but I can imagine that "collectively" creativity can predominate so that in essence nothing but nothing is "truly" destroyed. Wouldn't this be awesome? Of course, things are always changing..... "smits it" is about a fellow named "t-schmitt" who had a mit with an it in it. t-schmitt is a boy with an it in a mit or so it seems to him. It seemed fit in the mit for t-schmitt. t-schmitt thought his it was the only it, but alas, there were other its in mits, not just t-schmitt's. Even so, while sitting low, t-schmitt sowed this idea: my it is it. The only it. It must be, says my it to me. This was not a good idea, but t-schmitt was not inwit, so he did not know. Poor t-schmitt he would remain out of the know..........anyhow, one day, t-schmitt said to his it, lets go "school" the "rest of em" about ya (he, he, he)....how great you are because you are the only it and your mine........and out t-schmitt went, out and about -- spreading his it that he "found" in his mit......Here's the thing though, no one could get it, no one could get t-schmitt's it. t-schmitt was fit to have a fit about no one getting his it - it was so obvious to t-schmitt -- that his it was it and they should admit it to it. It was obvious, why were the rest unable, t-schmitt fussed & fumed. But here is the thing: t-schmitt didn't get it, no-one, no-body, not even nothing, not even his it could sense his it the same way as he sensed it. Well, maybe his it was imaginary, or at least, it was in his imagination. How could anyone else sense the same it? It can't be done can it.....(wait....unless we could get in schmitt's head....nah, even if we could, it would just seem like wood). Poor t-schmitt he is so attached to his it, but it's OK, t-schmitt. You will learn - one way or the other. And so ends the saga of t-schmitt (for now), but let me leave you with this final bit: So many its all about, round & round, up & down, inside out, left n right, day and night, in the mit, fit to wit, bit by bit. So many its - its just awesome. I got some its in my mit, don't we all....i kind of wanta share em, but i don't wanta force em, so i ain't gonna....cause then, i'd have to take out some of my own its......and that aint in-wit.....BUT, i don't want to be a hermit, so i plan on being around. Regardless, lets all just be inwit for the sake of us all ----- sapian sapien, oh homo sapien.....

Ken, thought him once the ben, but he knew better. No benefit of the doubt from ken. Un uh. You think so, well who told you. Not Ken. If you are interested, please check out some of my other sites briefly described below: Well, most of the sites I used to have listed here are now offline. If you went to them in the past, I hope you enjoyed them or that they were of value to you in some way. In my life, I have had periods of "wild creativity". In many ways, these periods are like a storm. The energy level is intense and this energy must be released. The last "storm" was the longest, and sometimes it got a bit crazy, but I've learned to let it happen and to hold onto faith in my own self -- if you know what I mean. Anyhow, it is quiet now, but I sense that big changes are just around the corner and the corner is rapidly approaching. I'm ready -- what about you? You know, the internet is an awesome web of communication. Once People fully recognize how we can communicate directly and honestly in this day and age, then the People's will will manifest (not the will of the few)...the People's will will be the new reality - seems that way to me.....we need to work together collectively. Time is of the essence. Peace, Ken. http://solar-contest.com/ - At first I had visions of doing this myself, but now I'm not so sure......
http://kjh-es.net/ - This is a short story focussed on the "goings on" in my neighborhood that also provides some insight into where I'm coming from and what triggered my decision to give up my former business.
http://2-trees.info/ - What this site has turned into is a bit different than what I had first imagined (but doesn't it often go that way). It presents some of my views as well as some text from "The Constitution of the Iroquois Nations - The Great Binding Law".
http://www.peoplesproclamation.com/ The People's Proclamation of Independence......this site is my effort towards developing a plan for peace....a plan for something better...better for all People.

You know, we could work together and we could make things way better, but time is of the essence and time is running out for us. Duh. Take care of and love "your hut, your home" if you want remedy. Please Hurry -- I beseech you, i implore you, I'd encourage you if you let me....if not for your own self, then for the sake of the many others (those you know and beyond). If you do this, you may find love you did not even know was within.... After I turned 40 years old, I thought to myself, I'm done with business as usual and I'm just going to try to be the change I want in the world. This is a simple concept but not easily done unless one is willing to change. sometimes...changing something just a little bit can make a big difference....i hope so. Peace is what we need and we won't get it unless we behave cooperatively. All of us. Everyone, everywhere. So all you "righteous" boys and "petty mean-girl" princesses out there, all I can say is: "get a grip and change your ways, cause you don't wanna be slip sliding away, do ya?" I think a mindset of cooperation must be established now to prepare for what is coming. If we can cooperate instead of always competing, then the only limits there will be is what we can imagine collectively. This can be a magnificent time of renewal if we make it so.
In conclusion for now, let me be as inwit as I know how: If this dismally dire situation continues, I weep for humanity. It does not need to be this way...there are many many better ways...lets be hopeful then lets get on the path of remedy and peace....it will not be easy but it will be rewarding for those who put forth the effort. "Story at bottom of page" In a time and place no longer remembered except in lore, there lived a tribe of 60 or so....Next to the river was their home. The People went about their days...sustaining & loving; always ready to play. The times were good, imagination was free. And then, a young boy imagined a new game, a game he called "hand slappin". He told no-one of his imagination, but kept to himself. He practiced religiously -- alone by the river; strengthening his hand. His right hand mind ya. Oh, how strong his hand became. The boy decided - I am ready. I will share "my idea". He called to the other boys and described the game. There was only one rule - Use your right hand. The other boys were game, but one after another, the strong right-handed boy made them lame....they looked up in awe..... But then a smaller boy emerged. His right-hand was OK, but oh, his left hand, was something else. He refused to join the other young boys. The right-handed boy said "that ain't right". You HAVE to play my game. The left-handed boy responded: says who? I refuse. The right-handed boy attacked. Viciously, like nothing seen before. I will force you to play he screamed as he charged. But then, the left-handed boy defended with a blow so swift none could see. The aim was true and the fist hit. The right-handed boy fell to the ground, rolled around, and befuddled himself. In a pile of pain, full of disdain, he was left in shame. All stood and gazed: "what has happened here". He was so strong. How could this be. The small boy stood in place, he looked around with contorted face. He did not know he could strike such a blow. No matter though, as he walked away. He looked back and had this to say: Any slappin game where you cannot use both hands is a game to rebuff. I ain't going to play that kind of game he thunk to himself as he wandered off...off to be with his family in peace and harmony..... So u want to no? It will not go the way you want it 2 unless U choose what you don't want 2. You know what I'm saying. Do U. Sucker - you will get what you deserve - u can rest assured.
