The heart of this proposal is the building of two new libraries devoted to sports - one in Denver for sports in the U.S.A. and the other in Glenwood Springs for international sports. Also is the possibility of building a new indoor track with a football field inside it or an expansion of Invesco Field - the home of the Broncos football team - as well as putting a roof on it. Invesco Field has a seating capacity of 76,100's. However, the expansion could give an indoors area with seating capacity of as much as 101,400's. Then the Pepsi Center with a seating capacity of 21,000 including seating on the floor adds to 122,400 seating capacity indoors . Could the Rockies home - Coors Field - also get a roof to make a seating capacity total of about 171,449 for any conference and where each of these venues is connected to the others by closed-circuit cable TV. There are other venues such as the theater at the Denver Convention Center which seats 5000. And the National Western Stock Show rodeo arena seating a little over 8,000. This proposal also includes annual awards for the best sports business in the U.S.A. as well as for international sports business.
We scheduled 01-03-08 for the first meeting of our organization - from 10:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon at CHARG Drop-In Center, 920 Emerson Street. We sent out letters of invitation to about 30 different parties: Pat Bowlen owner of the Denver Broncos sent a letter of regret that unfortunately he couldn’t participate. Nobody showed up for the meeting. This proposal would be a great blessing for all the foregoing plus the U.S.A. All of these aforementioned would be blessed to be known as (international ) sports centers.
Budget: we need to know what the voters/citizens think are the most important options - with the most important being the two libraries. We also need to choose between the different forms of businesses: 1) non-profit; 2) Green Bay Packers style; 3) sole proprietor: 4) cooperative style; 5) partnership; 6) the various forms of corporations; 7) any other. In order to accomplish this we need sub-committees: A) membership and strategy; B) architecture; C) budget and kind of business; D) possibility of petitioning for a referendum.
Time is of the essence or do you want a different state and/or country and/or cities to carry out this plan?
As a neophyte economist I ask you, "Can you think of any good reason why the U.S.A. should not declare bankruptcy?" A) Comptroller General, David Walker, says that the U.S. has a funding shortfall of $50 trillion+; B) Total 2007 federal budget is $2.4 trillion+ ; C) Gross Domestic Product for the first 3 quarters of 2007 is $13,970.5 billion*; D) Amount of credit for the average credit card holder is $9000(TV news); E) the balance of trade for 2007 up to Oct. is in the red by $57.8 billion*; F) Foreclosures, national, 2007, 1 in every 555 properties or 1.5 million properties*; G) Gross savings in the U.S.- $1.871 trillion for the third quarter of 2007 although this subject is complex because I couldn’t find out if this number includes investments like the total of all 401K money*; H) Foreign-owned assets in the U.S.A. $16,294,619 millions which is within the range of the GDP. My point is that NO WAY do we have the amount of savings to offset the foreign investment IF the foreigners pull their money out and invest it in Euros. Whatever, I don’t know if the above $16 trillion+ includes foreign money in U.S. stocks and bonds* I) U.S. businesses that outsource thus stealing American jobs from Americans - except for cases like Boeing, whose newest fleet of planes uses some parts made by foreign companies; J) U.S. companies and citizens that try to dodge taxes when, in reality, everybody should feel "good" about paying taxes and the privilege to do business in this great country; K) The decline in value of the dollar also means that the international currency of choice is fast going from the dollar to the Euro; L) all our energy problems with the possibility of gas prices going up to $8.00/gallon or more; M) unnecessary wars like Iraq as well as the immense fortune spent on having military bases in other countries like Japan and South Korea; N)an ever-declining part of the GDP being from manufacturing and an ever-increasing part of the GDP being for services; O)about 47 million citizens of the U.S.A. need universal health care.

Do you really think that if the U.S.A. were a business, it could survive without bankruptcy? The problems of pollution, global warming, the environment, and energy production PLUS things like lead- and cadmium-poisoning all will take time and money to fix. Then there’s the problems of modern farming: top soil, wild life, and water management; hormones, bactericidal, artificial fertilizers, free range style of raising livestock, genetic manipulation, pesticides, "terminator seeds", land laying fallow every 7 years, animal parts in feed, farmers trying to "eradicate "weeds" like nettles which are among the top 5 that bring up minerals from the subsoil to the topsoil ( is the U.S. depletion of necessary minerals and other chemicals that make that soil "fertile" the most important reason for obesity?). Is there a drop in sperm counts because of pesticides? Some pesticides imitate female hormones. Could this be the cause of so many girls - some as young as 6 years old - having early puberty? Could there also be an effect of pesticides that helps to cause obesity?
P) From the Statistical Abstracts of the U.S.: the Net Interest for the 2006 federal Budget - $220.1 billion; the Federal budget debt for 2006, est. $8,611.5 billion; and the Federal Budget Deficit for 2006,est. $423.2 billion.

I really don’t want to be negative, BUT. About 8 years ago an employee at the Government Desk of Denver Public Library said that our (national) politicians have always lied to the people about budget matters and would always continue to lie about that. This shows how just one person who is a booklover thinks - and I have come across quite a few others who feels her way. In other words, politicians, we’re on to you and we are angry at you. For about 9 years ago, when President Clinton had his best economic showing and he and congress were claiming a "Budget surplus" and not lying in that this was true for the on-budget items but - as I remember - we were still in the red by about $40-$30 billion on the interest of the federal debt. If I remember right, that is when I decided that I couldn’t really trust our politicians and economists.
Some of the details on Moses
Why did not Moses live at least until his people got into the Promised Land after the forty years in the Wilderness? Somewhere in the Bible it says that Moses was afraid of his people at the waters of Meribah. Meribah was the place where the Israelites rebelled because there was no water for the people as well as for the livestock. Moses passed the people’s complaint on to God. Who said He would take care. So Moses took his rod and struck the rock twice ( Numbers 20:11-13) AND "rashly" spoke (Psalm 106:32-34, Proverbs 12:18, and Proverbs 20:25). Every other place where Moses used his rod he struck it once and once only. In other words Moses had the faith all the other times he used his rod and struck only once. Further the Torah documents that Moses never spoke at all when performing any of God’s miracles. Thus his speaking at the waters of Meribah had no precedent. Three different times in the Old Testament it says something like " Be silent before the Lord God" -Zephaniah 1:7, Zechariah 2:13, and Habakkuk 2:20. Whatever, with Moses God spoke face to face - Exodus 33: 11-17. As for God’s opinion of these downfalls of Moses, He says that Moses was NOT treating Him as truly holy. The speaking and the striking twice both imply a lack of faith, and somewhere it says that Moses was afraid of the Israelites at these times. Why would Moses be afraid of his people after all the miracles God performed for the Israelites? It also says that the Israelites threatened to stone Moses to death two or three different times. And at this time the Bible implies that Judah was using his blessing from Jacob/Israel that says Judah’s hand is in his enemies’ necks. Could it be that when the Jews of the 20th century realized exactly what this blessing meant that Hitler’s progress was significantly slowed? Whatever, elsewhere in the Torah Moses’ brother Aaron and sister Miriam registered a complaint with Moses because of his second wife - a Cushite woman according to Exodus. Cush is also called Ethiopia. And the historian Flavius Josephus says that the daughter - Tharbis by name - of the king of Ethiopia fell in love with Moses when General Moses led the Egyptian army in a victory over Ethiopia: she married Moses so she was his first wife. Later after Moses left Egypt, he probably had no way of taking Tharbis with him in his exile from Egypt and thus felt free to marry a second time: and Tharbis caught up to him at the time of the Exodus. So Moses married Zipporah, one of the 7 daughters of the Midianite priest Jethro. AND that was his second marriage. AND most likely his first wife caught up with him in the Exodus.
My wish as a teenager was that I not even kiss a female - never mind date - until after the marriage vows. My mother - bless her name - forced me to go to a teenage kissing party. I didn’t kiss any one then but my mother kept pushing me to have "some fun".I wanted to meet an eligible virgin at church and/or at work and would become acquainted as serious friends.
Whatever, after her divorce from my father, my mother went back to work as a dietitian as well as went back to school to get a B.A. in dietetics from Framingham State Teachers College (formerly Framingham State Normal School - from which she got a certificate in dietetics right after completing her high school). It so happened that her graduation from that college occurred on the same day as I was due to get my A.B. from Hamilton College and I wanted to go to her ceremony, but she wanted to come to mine. Finally, I went to the dean of students at Hamilton College and helped arrange her getting her degree at my graduation ceremony . After that - as far as I know - she took the Massachusetts dietitian’s examination every year and each time scored first in the state. Plus she was committed to doing anything she could for her children.
How about the Israelites of the 40 years in the Wilderness sneaking across the border - as the 12 spies Moses sent to investigate the Promised Land. He could have sent 50 or 100 of his people at 20 different sites along the border to give 730,000 Israelites crossing the border per year. In other words, the full Israelite host of 1+ million would be settled by the end of 2 years. Then the hornets would be chasing the Philistines off their land as they did once for Joshua. After Joshua experienced the hornets chasing the Philistines off one big portion of land for the Israelites, he still continued to be military and did not believe God could do the job for the Israelites with hornets. Further, two different nations refused to allow the Israelites to cross their land on the way to the Promised Land- even though Moses offered to pay for the water they used while they were crossing. If it is true that God led the Israelites by a pillar of cloud by day and by a pillar of fire at night, AND if God’s pillar led into enemy territory, they didn’t have to worry about these enemies - God would take care without Moses and his people having to go to war. That would have been the Israelites taking, claiming, and occupying the Promised Land in truth.
Elsewhere on this web site I tell the story of the Archangel Michael inside me and Mother
Earth and/or Mother Nature calling him "Michael" in the most musical voice that all human voices are boring and nonmusical. Further, the face of Michael was so beautiful that I almost fell in love with it. Could Michael’s face be close to God’s face. And throughout the Old Testament , Psalm 13:1 and 17:15 for example, the biggest need for David in his second appearance was to see God’s face. Could it be that te reason why God could not show His face to most humans is that it was so beautiful that they died from seeing it?.
So when Psalm 45:1-2 talks about "fairer than the sons of men" it could well be talking about some male feature other than the face and/or build, i.e. David’s root/ . Psalm 45:1-2 (NAS) says, "My heart over flows with a good theme; I address my verses to the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. Thou art fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Thy lips; therefore God has blessed Thee forever." Meanwhile Revelation 22:16 (NAS) says, "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star."So, Jesus would be David’s root ( ) in the end times; as well as the second David’s son. Which would mean that the second David’s root would be beautiful as well as the ONLY root of all times to be beautiful. Further, the second David would NOT be circumcised for circumcision is unnatural as well as robs the husband and the wife of the extra pleasure an intact foreskin provides. Yes, I believe the studies which indicate that husband circumcision lowers the risk for the wife of things like cervical cancer. Could this have something to do with the smegma that collects underneath the foreskin? BUT, I think careful daily cleansing of that area might lower these risks too.
Thus the second Jesus’ temple/ would consist of seventy "sevends" or 490 men/stones of Daniel 9:24-27 - starting with Zerubbabel and continuing without a break to the first Jesus - that is Jesus is the 50th stone/cornerstone or even the 49th stone - about 30 A.D. and then continuing unbroken until this end time when Peter forgives all 490 men/stones as Jesus ordered him to AND the right hand of Zerubbabel that has a rice-sized blue spot is also present in the top stone or the glans of Jesus’ /root/temple. What other kind of structure would be built completely with only 490 stones/men? All the Gap Theories for explaining the 70 "sevends" are artificial and unnatural and entirely unnecessary. What I have to offer is about 49 stones from Zerubbabel to Jesus and the other approximate 470 stones/men from Jesus time to now with about 20 more stones at this the end-times: in other words, we’re talking about an unbroken series of stones/men over about 2500 years. Just like the statute that Nebuchadnezar saw and which covered all history up until the end times. There were no gaps in the life span of this statute.
What would be the reward for the 490 men/stones? Am I wrong about the glans and pelvis ( Peter’s foundation stone - Jesus said to Peter, "On this rock I will build My church") being the only one with the truly beautiful root/ ? If Isaiah went three years naked for God, did it happen that the people who saw his saw his shame - as the Old Testament indicates is the case for most men.
God told Abraham that the sign of His covenant with him would be Abraham and his descendants circumcising themselves. I ask you, "Why? Didn’t God do a sufficiently ‘good’ enough job in His creation of mankind? What is going on here?" Whatever I’m so glad that my mother didn’t have me circumcised. So some way or other, Abraham was willing to sacrifice some pleasure in return for being called the "Friend" of God. However, I really think Abraham was mentally ill in that He even considered sacrificing his promised son, Isaac, to God. Yes, God provided a sacrificial lamb caught in the nearby bushes and yes Abraham really believed God was able to raise up his son from the dead, BUT I hope and pray that if I had been Abraham I would have told God, "No. I can’t. You know that is wrong and mental illness." However, this is just one other story of the Bible which could not be written in the U.S.A.
Really, I don’t worry that much about the "looks" of my face - there are so many "good"-looking men in the world. However, during my last hospitalization there was one time when I looked in the bathroom mirror and I had a completely new and different face. It was handsome but most important was its mysteriousness. At the same time I had a brand new set of teeth, whereas now I have many cavities and some missing teeth. These changes lasted about 6 minutes before I went back to normal.
Then there’s the matter of the hornets: Exodus 23:28, Deuteronomy 7:20 and Joshua 24:12 all have God promising Moses that he and his people would not need to fight to gain control of the Promised Land. Rather God would send hornets to drive out the Philistine tribes from the Promised Land. Whether this promise would apply to their enemies on the way to the Promised Land , I don’t know. BUT it very possibly could be a promise dependent on their decision after their spies explored the land and ten out of twelve of the spies counseled that they couldn’t drive out the inhabitants. In other words they didn’t believe in God’s promise of the hornets and is not the very strength of the Philistine tribes the reason why God promised the hornets? In other words, God agreed with the ten that they needed help so He was going to send the hornets for that very reason. Whatever, they were doomed to wandering in the Wilderness for 40 years instead of going into the Promised land immediately. Even then God tried sending hornets to drive out some of the Philistines early in the times of Joshua, the leader who succeeded Moses.
Finally, I must relay what an officer of CHAFA (Coloado Housing And Financing Authority) said about three years ago. "The mentally ill in the Hope Three Home Ownership Program, as an aggregate, have far and away - as measured by the number of foreclosures as well as other factors like the timeliness of payments - the best record of any other group of clients. Hope Three helps the mentally ill to buy their own condos by putting down enough to make the monthly payment fit into their budget. Even though most of the mentally ill are on S.S.I. or S.S. D.I. or Social Security and therefore a fixed income as well they can budget their money more easily, I really don’t think that makes up such a big factor to explain this phenomenon. In other words, the mentally ill know how to live within their budgets and how to "pay as you go". We need many more people like that in our national political considerations.
There’s the matter of the beard, the hair, and the toenails and fingernails. A far as I’m concerned it’s not that bad to cut one’s hair or beard or nails but circumcision is against Mother Nature, Mother Earth and/or Mother Wisdom.
