Worm Hole Mailing List
Science of Life, Death and Survival. This list is about challenging the prevailing memes. The orientation is post-modern, post-liberalism and realpolitik. The objective is to seek the truth behind the abstractions and propaganda and establish better theories.

HANK ROTH, LL.B (Bachelor of Laws Degree) - Veteran: served in the White House (WHACA) for the President of the U.S. and in the War Room for the Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon (JCS) and alternate (AJCS) in Md, at alternate White House at Camp Crystal (Mt Weather) and Camp David, COMZREAR in Orleans, France and as a Voice Security Cryptologist - (Vietnam and Yom Kipper) - and DI at Ft. Jackson. Also Past Commander Jewish War Veterans (Post 780) and social justice peace/activist over 40 years - (87) member of Veterans for Peace - American Legion - SE Disarmament Representative of the New Jewish Agenda -- Army MARS (AA4LV-K4EVY) - U.S. Peace Council - Florida Coalition for Peace and Justice - (charter member) Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) - On the interNUT since 1982 - (student member) Association Computing Machinery (ACM) - War Resisters League (WRL) - ACLU - SANE - ZOA - Hashomer Hatzair - Pax Christi - Pledge of Resistance - Reporter (also typesetter/proof reader) - founder Chavarim Peace Network on ham radio (from late 60s) - founder of pnews-l {"Progressive News/Views" since 1982} - Writer/Reviewer: National Jewish Spectator - Playwright: Raleigh Ensemble Players - Editor/Publisher of Am Yisrael - Real Estate Dev/Broker (Fl and NC - 70-80s) - Bookseller NC and Fl (80s and 90s) - Real Estate Broker (90s) - Asst. Area Mgr for 1990 Census (Eastern NC) - Delegate to Rainbow Coalition Convention for Jessie Jackson. Supported Ralph Nader in 2000 and regrettably John Kerry in 2004. In 2008, IMHO, Hillary Clinton was the social democrat who is the most qualified and competent to do the least harm I supported the Republican nominee, John McCain, who was most qualified to keep America safe in a very dangerous world (which at my age may be a more important consideration than social democracy) and I liked Sarah Palin very much too although I hated her position on science. However, any women who can handle a gun and like Moose stew is an All-American woman. Four to five times as much money, much of it from suspicious (Middle East) sources (and corporate giants) put Obama in the White House. Obama will be a disaster for Israel. Barack Hussein Obama will be a disaster for America. We just may miss the president everyone loved to hate, George W. Bush. At least he kept us safe for 7 years. There were no really good choices. Perhaps we just need to change this antiquated system to a process which doesn't always reward the rich and corporate interests. But, there isn't much chance that will happen. I don't see anything resembling equality and justice until we have "From Each According to Their Ability; to Each According to Their Needs."

Change Begins With Us

Maybe the only thing we can really change is ourselves. Our history, also taking into consideration pre-history, is not much different than it is today. We just have bigger and more powerful weapons. Man has always been warlike. Man has always gone to war and we try to kill each other as-if life really has no meaning. That is because biology teaches us it doesn't. We exist because we have been better at surviving to reproduce. Nothing else gets passed on. Cultures do change but not fast enough to alter our biological instincts. We can't even keep up with our technology, which can do us in faster than we can adjust to the consequences of thermonuclear war, depleted uranium, our veracious consumption of carbon fuels, and on and on. The only fact which is a fact and will not change no matter how much we try to prevent it is our eventual extinction which is as sure as dying. It happens to every species no matter how much they attempt to adapt and in our case how much some of what calls itself humanity thinks the world exists for them.

Sapere Aude
("Dare to Know")


Life is great! Don't miss any of it. Don't try to be what you are not and never pretend to be anything but what you are. Create your own time. Enjoy every moment. Life is a precious gift. Feel deeply. Enjoy simply. Celebrate life. Think freely. Take risks. Fight back. Oppose racism and injustice. Also welcome love. Be who you really are because life is too short to do otherwise. Be stronger than your condition. Be kind. Be supportive. Walk in somebody elses shoes. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Above all, seek justice and do no harm.

Dirshu Mishpat
(Heb:"Seek Justice")

Experience Compassion! And, be all you can. And, don't let the bastards grind you down. There are a lot of BUBBAS in the world. Just ignore them. They're not worth your time. Everything is possible. Just do it! And, carry a big stick (a 357 Magnum works even better), just in case somebody tries to mess with you. Honor your parents, they probably did the best they could (or not) but what the hell, they were your parents.

Blast from the Past

"the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do."
