Located on AOL servers and is really a book of about 120 to 130 Eletters that I started sending to friends on Mom's birthday, June 6, in 1998. There are only about 80 or so on the net. It became my creative writing outlet that has come to be mainly in theorical and applied psych~ theory, book reports and Eartical reports - just like you had to do in Jr Hi School, (Middle School now, I think they call it). One of my favorites is "Ten ways to make yourself go crazy."</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id150.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Death Penalty or Life without Parole De"><U>Death Penalty or Life without Parole Decision</U></A>   One page with three sections... My daughter was murdered in 1990. The murderer, Johnny Ray was given the death penalty twice and the sentencing phase was kicked back twice. We, Josylin's family, agreed to life without parole on November 5, 2003, which was 13 years and two months from the day he killed her. Because of the questionable outcome with the California Ninth Circuit Court's rulings kicking hundreds of settled death penalty cases back into court, we agreed to life without parole because he will be kept from the public and possibly hurting anyone else. We hope you only have to imagine what you would go through as a surviving victim of violent crime. Life without parole is the max punishment, but the death penalty is better for society.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id331.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Extreme Application of Theory"><U>Extreme Application of Theory</U></A>    will get to the point of nonsense. Extreme existentialism, also called materialism, is suicide, one of Zeno's paradoxes says you can not make it to the toilet. If in Religion, then not in State - to the extreme = IF "Thou shall not steal" is religion, then a state can not have law against stealing, and some problems with all fundamental religions, including the fundamental secular religion of man's law, vs God's laws of physics, i.e., gravity.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id332.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Medical Life Support?"><U>Medical Life Support?</U></A>     Mom on March 20, 2005 joined Dad who left to prepare their Heavenly home on January 19, 2004. On their Memorial they had planned to be "Together Forever." So it is, but some priests aren't as sure about it in their religions as I am sure in physics that they are together.</div> <div>      During the same time that Mom's body was dying of malignant lung cancer (even though she did not smoke or drink), Terri Schiavro was in the news as her family argued about "life support or no life support". In Mom's case, we had her "Living Will", though I did not have to invoke it. Our family agreed, from the oldest to the youngest who needed to decide, that she had been clear to us about not letting her suffer in a hopeless, non-conscious state. We could only gaze into her unresponsive eyelids, and there was no movement to our touch, though her body's hands were warm, her body had a weak pulse, but they could not operate and she was  getting more and more labored for breath even with med's and oxygen. The hardest part was the newspaper in the morning at home, and those same decisions to be made those same days at the hospital about Mom.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="id333.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Mental Health"><U>Mental Health Decision.</U></A>   NEW: July 1, 2005   One page of theorical psychology with explanations of schizophrenia, D.I.D., and multiple personality.  This originally was written for and posted on     www.beliefnet.com      as an introduction to me and my theorical orientations in a discussion group about The Mind/Body Relationships, somewhere around December 17, 2004.
