Poor Casey Anthony! (video)

Wisdom Quarterly, TheGrio.com

Hating hateful actions (like murder) or hateful actors (like murderers) makes us guilty of hate. Hate is toxic to all who harbor it, and it is not cured by vigilantism or revenge.

There are those who give free rein to hate when it arises like stampeding horses. There are others who pull the reins and control their chariot even when the horses are bolting. The Buddha called the latter "charioteers," whereas the former are merely holding the reins.

American hatred has grown so great -- animosity at a mother or a trial gone wrong -- that citizens are ready to lynch anyone named Casey Anthony.

Searching Facebook, many have found a man by the same name and tormented him. His response to the vigilante mob? "I can't change my name, ladies and gentlemen."

"Casey Anthony" is a 43-year-old African-American male. He lives in Darby, Pennsylvania, and just happens to share the name of a 25-year-old Anglo-American female from Orlando, Florida, who is infamous for being found not guilty of killing her 2-year-old daughter.

Mr. Casey Anthony has been bombarded on Facebook. He estimates that he has gotten at least 300 friend requests, messages, and posts, all targeting the other Casey Anthony.

"After the verdict that day, it went crazy. It was like everybody wanted to know and wanted to comment on this Casey Anthony situation," he explains.

The Antidote is the Opposite
There are Three Poisons of the heart/mind: greed, hatred (often expressed as fear), and delusion. It is wise to root them out at every opportunity. It is easier to transmute or transform them into something useful than it is to rid oneself of them.

But surely if they remain, they are serving as the basis of unprofitable karma (unskillful action of mind, speech, or body). Their "antidotes" are categories of opposite states -- nongreed, nonhatred, and nondelusion. Three immediate remedies are given as:

1. letting go
2. generating compassion
3. being mindful of the present moment.

Why would one even try to avoid or abandon hatred if it is manifesting as "righteous indignation"? Surely, that justifies it and strengthens us to act in opposition!?

No, what it does is obscure the mind, cause one to act in ways that result in remorse, that bring about suffering for us (when those actions later ripen), the bring humans down to subhuman states.

Hate helps no one. And those who say it does are trying to make the best of a bad situation. Transform it, transmute it, let it go, be freed from it, free others from it -- for it will surely drag us down, and we will only realize it too late.

Sex and the Global "Slut Walk"

Thousands of skimpily dressed women took to the streets of London in Britain's first "Slut Walk," a global phenomenon to protest sexual violence (AFP/File/Carl Court).

(AFP) Thousands of women took part in a so-called "Slut Walk" in London, insisting that they should be able to wear as much or as little as they like without facing sexual harassment by men.

The colorful march on Saturday saw most people wearing everyday clothing but some wore provocative outfits as they marched on London's central Trafalgar Square.

Slut Walk was first held in Toronto earlier this year after a police officer caused outrage by stating that "women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized" during a speech to university students.

The protest soon spread to cities around the world where women joined in huge numbers to challenge the mindset that victims of sexual assault should bear a degree of responsibility on the grounds that they were "asking for it," including Nicaragua where dozens of women took part in a Slut Walking protest on Saturday.

Eating Well, Preventing Cancer

Gary Null, Ph.D. (garynull.com)

The Peoples' Food Pyramid

When determining the perfect diet, it is important to remember that no two people have the same dietary needs. [One has to be responsible for oneself because entrusting it to someone else often results in S.A.D., the Standard American Diet.] It is best to consult with [not necessarily listen to] a dietitian to determine what best suits a particularly body and lifestyle.

Active individuals may need more calories and protein. Petite people may need fewer calories. For some, gaining weight may be an issue. For others, it is a goal. So there is not one magic diet to will fit everyone. [Body types, blood types, type of environment, season, and current state of health also changes what is "best" for health.]

The People's Pyramid is meant to be a guideline. None of the quantities or numbers are hard and fast rules. Rather, they are a general basis to establish healthy dietary choices. For a chart with samples of foods, dietary facts, and basic foods that are easily accessible, click here.

Remember, when picking produce, eat organic and choose local foods. Avoid processed foods. For many vegans, getting high quality protein is a priority. This is easily achievable by eating a balanced diet of greens, complex carbohydrates, legumes of all kinds, vibrant vegetables, and vibrant fruits.

Cancer Can't Kill...Unless We Let It
Powerful new cancer treatments are not taught in U.S. medical schools. But they are saving millions of lives in England, France, Germany, and more than 180 countries throughout the world (Gary Null “Advance News” Medical Report).

Cancer is projected to be the number one cause of death worldwide by the year 2010. This frightening disease can affect anyone at any. The terror, confusion, and physiological deterioration that cancer causes devastates not only those who are afflicted by it, but everyone in their lives as well.

[Most of its scary appearance actually results from invasive treatments like making the body toxic, killing cells and wiping out the immune system; cancer does not do that, oncology-industry insanity -- toxic chemicals, corrosive radiation, and invasive surgery -- does that.]

We need to arm ourselves with useful information to help to protect ourselves against this naturally-occurring and dreaded disease. [If we are causing it by taking in toxins, the cure is easy and prevention is even easier! Remove the toxins, and supply the body with good nourishment.]

Gary Null, Ph.D. and the world’s leading alternative cancer experts show powerful strategies to prevent cancer from ever forming or reversing it even if it has gotten to an advanced stage. [Your doctor will not like it and will not listen because that's not the business she's in, so use these scientifically-backed and industry-ignored protocols do the natural healing.] More
