As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following quote here, being shared by the page, “V is for Voluntary,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…
V is for Voluntary: “The only idea they have ever manifested as to what is a government of consent, is this — that it is one to which everybody must consent, or be shot.” — Lysander Spooner
My Commentary: Pathologically pathetic…
The following correspondence originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “US Government ‘Shutdown’ is Just Same Ol’ Theater, Repeated Anew“…
“Sorry we’re closed”
Rayn: Speaking of the recent “shutdown,” it isn’t the first time America has dealt with this variety of government-manufactured crisis. It’s really all just theater, executed in criminal syndicate fashion, in order to extort the sheeple into believing in the “need” for the authority of the State, and to get them clamoring for more government control over their lives:

Jonas A.: Yeah…agreed!
Brooke N.: They do this kind of crap, scare people into thinking ooooooHHHHH!!!!! Awful, awful end of the world. Then they stop and give you a face full of “just terrible” and people are grateful. Like somebody saying, I’m gonna break your neck. Then they relent and just fracture your skull and you feel so grateful…and they’ve done it too many times for people to believe them anymore.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
Department of Defense to Award Contracts Throughout Shutdown, But Won’t Announce Them:
http://www.defensenews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013310010031
The Pentagon will continue to award hundreds of millions of dollars in acquisition, services and other types of contracts despite a government-wide shutdown, but don’t expect to hear about them.
The US Defense Department will not publicly announce contracts during the shutdown, Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Pentagon spokesman, wrote in an email.
But that should not stop the military services and defense agencies from signing pacts for equipment, supplies and other items.
The Pentagon will do “one big announcement” of the contracts awarded during this period when the shutdown ends, Christensen wrote.
My Commentary: Shutdown or not, the American war crime machine never sleeps! You see, murdering innocent human beings living in foreign lands is actual a very “essential” service that our noble Federal Government provides to us lowly subjects. And, it is vastly more important than all others, if the percentage of our tax dollars funding it is any indication! So, by all means, double-knot your blindfold for safety, and continue to passionately babble on about budgets, deficits and “health care” during this latest government-manufactured crisis, my fellow Americans, while still remaining starkly silent about the crimes against humanity and war crimes being committed overseas daily in our name, for over a decade now – with full, bipartisan support from the warmongering cowards-that-be that “represent” this country! Any peace-loving, life-respecting humanitarian would do exactly the same, under the circumstances!
The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of an acquaintance…
Jei M.: As I had suspected, my ability to read people’s emotions is pretty terrible – my score was 13/36.
Can You Read People’s Emotions? (Quiz)
http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/03/well-quiz-the-mind-behind-the-eyes/?_r=0
Julia B.: 33/36 for me. Holy smokes.
Rayn: I got a score of 34/36. Interestingly enough, I’ve always struggled with eye contact.
Daniel Sv.: Rayn, can you read emotions by lips then?
Rayn: No, Daniel, but according to this quiz, I have an strong ability to “read” the emotions of others through their eyes. Personally, I’d call it more of a “feeling” than a “reading,” though.
