Sun Lasting The detailed info, refer to one of my theses,

Feb. 27 (F), 2015. "The Heart" Xena Crystal Li-chin Huang's One-Page-Snippet #332 a

What is the biggest piece of dirty linen of Wisconsin?

How was Wisconsin turned into a generous Stepping Stone of an individual's ambition?

Are you also a disciple of Rockefeller Sr., abiding "We need a nation of [ignorant or repressed] workers, not thinkers..."

The good news is - Just having a nice short story done for children.



Feb 27 (F), 2015. The Tossed-Away Lives and Found

1 hr · Edited ·

Mrs. Lou and her husband (deceased) have been raising 18 abandoned infants throughout their lives. She teaches her children (all orphans, the youngest is only 7) " Making your kindness a habit - it is not difficult to do. Just do it!"
The couple live by collecting people's "toss-away", "unwanted items", and garbage. They collect hundreds and thousand of garbage bins and tanks yearly, then recycling the rubbish to make a living.
At age 91 now, She says," I am collecting all sort of human discards and toss-away, and among them, babies from the dump-sites are the most precious... I love every one of them. I brought them home and enjoy watching them growing..." - brief by Sun Lasting heart emoticon!


91歲拾荒老人小英44年間義無反顧的撫養了18名棄嬰…她最後說了一句讓所有世人驚醒的話,讓你牢牢記在心裡。
感動啊~

Sun Lasting  Do you think that Mrs. Lou is a pro-live, a pro-choice, pro both, or what ??.... I guess Mrs Lou might suggest that a proper pre-marital education, or reasonable sex education embedded in a responsible- functional family within a healthy economic system without dominant ideological controlling - might prevent some "unwanted, undesirable, accidental, and castaway babies" from happening again and again??

As one critic indifferently said that some people made babies like the hen (some, surely with the aids of the roosters) laying eggs??? Has Mrs Lou ever wondered why the education, family, religion, the economic systems and the rest of social institutions allow this type of tragedies continuously to happen? How many more Shades of Biological Greats are needed? How many female sentient beings are able to confront this bio-economic delusion and constraints?


Sun Lasting One the other hand, the 20th Dugger baby was born a short while ago. Is the 21st baby on the way? Aerospace scientists say that moving to the Mar is possible. But don't we prefer a 2nd Earth-like Planet with enough Oxygen "equally" for everyone, which is better for another 7 billion human sentient beings to flourish, OR an "Equal Chance" to Survive ? !

Cross-species affection! Socially Constructed Reality - via interaction!

How does your toytoy, or foo-food become your friend? =^.^= heart emoticon!

Surely, you have to admit the existing power hierarchy in this episode.

The powerless one (if possible, collectively) has to be persistent to work it out, and the powerful one "dare" to allow it to happen smile emoticon - The power structure between the privileged and the disadvantaged/stigmatized - Sun Lasting.

Breaking GREAT news to the 51% of Wisconsinites - Don't you feel proud of being the majority for choosing a great leader aiming at presidency, by fully developing/"developed" this great state into a a nice piece of stepping stone:)!??? Isn't Wisconsin a kind, generous, and super-smart state among the 50??!!!!

Isn't it amazing, the Wisconsin socio-econo-political Clock will be re-wounded back to 100 years ago??!!! Congratulations to those who cannot wait for the Bill to be passed ! - A progressive state is going BACKward to a fantastic direction at WHOSE's COST???? Thank you, voters, and congratulate the future of America!

Here it goes:

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker backed a surprise move Friday by Republican legislators to quickly vote on making Wisconsin a right-to-work state, an action the likely 2016 presidential candidate initially said should be delayed to avoid re-igniting massive pro-union protests.

Was he out of his mind to make such a strange-great-odd quote - to whom??? Where are these "whoms"?? - “Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”

Sun Lasting As a public employee, I do learn to realize the death of union in school with an ambivalent sentiment, but Killing the Private Sector's Union (the healthy type of Union) rights - I've almost gotten a heart-attack....!!!

Modern cheap slaves and the voice-less, powerless workers, here, will soon be enjoying sharing the status as those workers of the less fortunate and unfortunate countries and nations.... Isn't it unbelievable, unprecedented - LEGENDARY!??!

Won't you join me to welcome the Brazen New World - Wisconsin !??

Sun Lasting  I am not a fan of Credentialism. But with a high school diploma can be a governor or president, I found it amazing and inspiring. Some people enjoy being ruled/governed by this unique "quality".

Now many parents can relax more. for Gates-Jobs-aristocracy, and now one more drop-out genius can be your children's Role Model. Isn't it another Horatio-Alger resurrection, if not reincarnation, in the 21st century !??

Sun Lasting  I love watching puppet shows (布袋戲 - for example, Taiwan style), and you? A puppeteer-master shows how to move a puppet. See a demo below (Only for the demo purpose - he was supposed to stay behind a screen - we all know that, but forget to see behind the stage !)

Sun Lasting The reality was, my dilemma to post the above messages. I did see the consequences of what I did, in fact, one of them was helping this person's campaign strategy - a FREE broadcasting to my 4,800 fb friends. Forgive me, dear friends with consciousness: my feeble-minded acts...

Just now, fine, you asked why I cares? Ohhh, yes, in addition to the common care/concerns we share, one more tiny thing is that almost of our students are wage workers for the private business/industries, not to mention those who have no access to opportunities for a post-secondary education. In many other countries, workers' voice is valued and protected by government - this is not a news at all.

Here is just a well-known trivia via public data:
The CEOs of S&P 500 Index company made, on average, 354 times the average wages of rank-and-file U.S. workers in 2012. CEOs in the United States don’t just make a lot more money than their own employees. On average, U.S. CEOs also make far more than CEOs of comparably sized companies in other developed countries. Click on each country to compare:http://www.aflcio.org/.../CEO-to.../Pay-Gaps-in-the-World

The SEC is currently considering a rule that would require companies to disclose their CEO-to-worker pay ratio, and is accepting comments from people like you until Dec. 2nd 2013. Please take a few moments to comment to help the SEC decide the best way to implement this law: Ask for CEO-to-Worker Pay
U.S.A.354*Source: BLSClose

U.S.A.Average CEO annual Compensation $12,259,894
Average Worker annual Compensation               $34,645

Again, a forever old and stale question in the US since John D. Rockefeller Sr. - why does the millions of dollars of income sound so vulnerable and feeble that needs to mobilize the political lobbyists and politicians to nurture, protect, and surely spoil? Mindfully, too, wage/salary gaps are just a tip of this deadly stratified iceberg!!!!

Mary Shepardson When you look at how many people in the last election-worst voter turnout since the 40's-less than 17% voted for the crook. I think many people have given up. I'm not saying that's the right thing to do but just what happened. It is very depressing!

Feb. 17 (T), 2015 Can the undeserving privileged be saved?

Sun Lasting added 34 new photos to the album: What is diversity/multiculturalism of the sentient beings?
2 hrs · If a society is willing or capable of assisting the undue predicaments endured by the less fortunate and the unfortunate, then can the undeserving privileged be saved, in the long run?


Sun Lasting A society is judged by how it treats its animals and children.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTpT4vcncAs But how and why does a society do what it does?

Sun Lasting Isn't the donkey an innocent, powerless, voiceless, and most importantly, a precious sentient being?

Many people (surely, never been the privileged, the advantaged, the Leisure class...) in the world are working just like this over-exploited, and horribly enslaved donkey friend, and sometimes can be worse. What's right, what's wrong to those children in the photos? Why? - not many Slumdog Millionaires existing, unless fictional, I am quite sure...

And then you have 81.1 million dollars box (just movie, not including the delicious book) of success to celebrate the "bio-hormonal-monetarily driven 50 Animal Shapes of Great" ?? - a terrifically successful media hype and artificial brain-stem (yes, the "primordial", the lowest part of the brain) style of consumption. Isn't it a great story of the Human-Animal Diversity?

Modern diseases have many origins inter-playing into current situation, in addition to the genetics :
1. Socio-psychological sources: isolation, loneliness, anxiety, stress, depression, prejudice, discrimination, fear, hatred, stinginess, extreme selfishness, greed, instant gratification, dysfunctioning family (casued by the current poli-economic system),...and the rest.

2. Econo-environmental dimension: GMOs, factory farms, cruelty on animals, processed food, land-filled chemicals, air-river-ocean pollution, radiation from all sort of electronic devices, garbage(solid/liquid waste) dumps, over-population, inaccessible education, un/under-employment, poverty...etc.

3. Ideological dimension - SuperCapitalism's throat-cutting competition, profiteering, toss-away culture, unethical commercialism, misleading media hypes, psycho-political domination, social inequality, injustice, and destroying the earth.
Please add your ideas..... more and more ...  

Is detecting (or meditating/reflecting on) the origins of all sorts of man-made self-destruction and mentally constructed illusions the first step to health? Will you succumb to the above illusory misleading imposing on our human life? Is keeping healthy becoming such a challenging, if not an unattainable task in the post-modern era ???
