Prohibition and The Postal Service

Prohibition began on January 16, 1920. This Posting will explain that the Post Office did indeed have some interesting packages during prohibition.

Interestingly during prohibition, Wineries continued making wine with creative wine making practices. One acceptable method of wine making was in conjunction with Church.

The Catholic Church needed Wine for the Religious activity of Communion. Beaulieu Vineyard, was popular; they claimed they were, “The House of Alter Wine.” The other way in which a winery could stay in business during prohibition was supporting wine making practices for people at home.

The deal was to mail the home wine maker a kit containing the materials to make the wine. Under a loophole in The Volstead Act, the head of house hold could make up to two hundred gallons of wine a year. So, Wineries would mail grape juice and concentrate under names like Forbidden Fruit, Vine-Glo and Moonmist to homes via the Post Office.

Now this would be taking place in 1915. Wine making technology was not very sophisticated. The instructions sometimes would read as a warning, “Do not place container in room temperature over 60 degrees or contents may ferment.” It is important to realize the types of grapes were used had to be hardy since the shipping was often across country. Today wines are made with grapes grown for their subtle or complex quality of wine on the palate. Alicante Bouschet and Alicante Ganzin were thus used back then but were considered bad at the very least. I imagine that they were very much like the Concord Grape used today in grape juice Concentrate.

As part of the wine making practices during prohibition the juice or grapes were shipped in the mail. This would probably mean complications during shipping. Some leakage and even soaked cardboard was an ordinary appearance at the Post Office. So this stuff was shipping; and so in time, also dried if spilled or broken. Oh how the Post Office must have hated the mail articles containing whine. Well, I have always been a little afraid of smells. But I think I know the smell they had when a household ordered a wine making kit.

Some Pretty major changes took place in the Napa Valley after prohibition which wouldn’t have been due to the pressures of the Post Office. It makes sense the wineries could use delicate grapes and thus a more complex wine on location after prohibition. However the Post Office didn’t complain or cause the political tides ending prohibition; that was because of the voters who wanted to drink.

And, so the interesting era ended after fourteen years where the Post Office managed things on the basis of an occasional smell. The ending of prohibition meant that wine could be shipped more appropriately. If even the occasional bottle were to leak or break the product could never have such a devastating affect as a distinctive smell since the quality of the product is much improved. There is a natural inclination for improvements yet this is probably one practice which goes into history as interesting for the Post Office and did not have any negative effect.

Phenomenology

I am going to discuss my personal views about someone who is very important to me; Merleau-Ponty. From my first recollection, I did not like Ponty. The fact is those feelings guaranteed me an automatic ‘F’. I can tell that I have made progress in my opinion since – as evidence by my erasure of comments in the margins of his greatest work: Eye and Mind.

So I cleaned up my copy of his essay. Merleau-Ponty who was a French Philosopher wrote about the Master French painter Cezanne. After Ponty passed away in the early sixties, his works were translated into English. The translator, Carleton Dallery used a number of writing styles to achieve an effective and purposeful study for the English speaking scholar to learn about Cezanne. The consequences for my strong feelings against Merleau-Ponty at that first reading are not outside of the realm of possibilities for any reader. It might be the case that Carleton Dallery at the expense of being perceived as not knowing a certain detail about Cezanne, embedded a critical idea which does not come to fruition in order to affect the reader with strong feelings. Not however, but particularly for Ponty, space has taken on a kind of identity. I have had difficulty overcoming my initial opinion and further hold by some fault of my own I have come up short on wits. Thus I must reason I had at that time the condition about which I have already talked about a necessity for agreement. This is in keeping with my latter readings, and I want to reassure Dick Tracy that I like Maurice Merleau-Ponty and that I understand his essay; I admit it is a great work.

You are a fool! So, you say you like Maurice Merleau-Ponty, but you have changed. Why you don’t convict him for your disposition?

Well, I will tell you, my friend, Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s English translation has as a remedy something called a Rhinoplasty. This is a Plastic Surgery correcting the Septum from deviation. These were his last words, ‘you have your whole life ahead of you.’ I got a Rhinoplasty. It has been the single most enlightening procedure of my Life.

If you are able to sustain a frame of mind on that of a person whose fingers are stubby, you will learn. There are a number of builds that are available to muse with; all of which raises your social status. I am telling you this because there is a reason that a Dominant Gene results in a Conscience. The Dominant Genes of this particular type in a person who has one from each parent, results in a disorder, called Phocomelia, and which causes a birth defect of the arms and hands. Phocomelia literally means Flippers. The genetic disposition, I am calling a Disorder, includes the making of the Conscience where there is only one Dominant Gene of which it is the same type. Here the Idea is that you get your genes from your parents. This is a normal condition to have one, or to have both Recessive. The infamous Luke Sky-walker was Recessive-Recessive; “Use the Force Luke”. And this very issue which sadly Maurice Merleau-Ponty did not correctly develop for some reason, is a Distinguishing component of socialization.

When the Philosopher says existentially NO!; it is to be a distinguishing threshold in which we enlightened the path to Fame. For example you would not want a person with a conscience to read the news or write lyrics for an album unless the person were able to overcome the present with new material. What you have said about my acceptance of Maurice Merleau-Ponty is probably a thought disorder.

To make this situation which I have built in thought whole, I just want to mention that there is another reading of David Hume. His thoughts mostly have been about the good of determination. But if you needed an advocate for your applied distinguishing activity, which I have said is Genetic, Hume has the correct thinking for a free minded person of a general nature to be an advocate. So, on the basis that this issue is Genetic, I conclude that there will be NO changes in the thinking process – no fear. I say this and I expect you to believe that you are who you are ever since conception. Now, haven’t I been a nuisance, a person should not have Fear? And haven’t I just given you a good reason to teach Hume even though his works only seem to fit with a certain type of a person?

If for some reason, the little friendship that Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Jean-Paul Sartre had while the editors of the magazine in France the prejudice against Maurice Merleau-Ponty still went without address, his reason is there really is something to see: and I am referring to Phenomenology. Maurice Merleau-Ponty would have been the president of that little organization of Cosmonauts.

Now, I have a little bit of house keeping to do for Maurice Merleau-Ponty that I haven’t addressed elsewhere. While Maurice Merleau-Ponty had a driver which never came to fruition. I have mentioned it earlier, there is a confusion about which gene he is referring to. Let me say that when I was referring to a Dominant Gene, it is conceivable the inherited dominant gene for conscience could have come from either parent and not just the Father. Though he did not speak of it, he was all the while referring to another Gene; it was a driver to get a person to have strong feelings. In the Philosophical work Eye and Mind, which he is best known for and which he sort of built a little engine “see,” Maurice Merleau-Ponty, though I do not believe it today, there is a tendency to confuse the gene for sex with the gene for conscience. Recall that Maurice Merleau-Ponty mostly ignored the prompting from Sartre about the Genetic issue. So, when the prejudicial perspective that Sartre would have prompted him about in their years together came up, Maurice Merleau-Ponty probably extended his most highest held belief, to see, in the instance that it is restricted to that of the spirit of the Father. In the case of the Fathers Gene, the Genetic issue is in regards to the twenty-third Chromosome determining a person’s sex. In a remedy, from the religious point of view involving the Holy Trinity, after thoughts (God willing), the Father could have a high degree of influence over his children’s cognitive abilities. Here I want to mention that this is as much a disparity as that of the twenty-second Chromosome which determines conscience. So, even though I have been square about a Distinguishing social issue, the presiding gene, I have had to bring into the discussion a matter of articulation of Maurice Merleau-Pontys emphasis as having a gene that could inconceivably been inherited from the Mother as well as from the Father. It is the Holy Trinity case the Philosopher Spinoza had as a good Catholic. Maurice Merleau-Ponty merely cast into time for a collection of intelligent substance with which seeing would be the basis of a Phenomenology without the context involving the gene for sexual orientation.

I seem to have uncovered a matter of confusion. If you wish to think about this issue look at XVR and Comments to XVR

Legal Case with Confucius Philosophy

The recent movement and popularity of Chinese Thought has another context. And, thankfully the context is a container worthy of a place in American culture. It is the Supreme Court Case WALLACE V. JAFFREE 472 U.S. 38 (1985). I do not doubt that the Supreme Court was aware of Confucius. So, I must try to stay within my topic, although I would like to resolve here with the advancement of the strictest argument from which the Supreme Court’s formed it’s ruling. That is the standpoint of Catholicism. All one needs to realize is at the time the moment of silence is to be observed, that time could also be used for indoctrination.

Whittle away at Confucius; Shackle at his time so as not to notice the intervals.

Human Beings are meant to live a hundred years, this man counted to a thousand just to get home. The next one spends a half of his life as a helpless child or spent half in sleep. Of the time that remains, half is added to mechanisms with increased complexity. So, what remains are all the various instances a person is plagued by pain, sickness, sorrow, bitterness, deaths, losses, worry, fear, and return. In sum, six years is hardly a measure at all of time in which a person can reason without needing any chance intervals- a perception of saving.

What is man’s life for? What pleasure is there in it? Is it for beauty and riches? Is it for color? When at a time beauty and riches no longer answer the needs of the heart, and when a surfeit of colors become only a weariness to the eyes, there are only remedies of which cheat history of the usual bad outcome. Do we live for the sake of being now crowed into submission by the fear of the Law and its penalties? We waste our rational faculties in a mad scramble of emotions none of which is worthy to note. What could be called a relationship is really a hollow praise of an hour, scheming to contrive that somehow some remnant of reputation shall outlast our lives.

We safely move through the various motions, in olden times it was a narrow groove; we are preoccupied with the various instances of those formulas that work for great men. Are we brooding over our prejudices, pretending the joys of life are among us without even knowing we only use those parts which are apparently missing? Consider for a moment you have a taste of the hardy wine of freedom. Should your anxiety be relieved, nothing gnawing at you, no perception of a need; is this also the character of transparency? We are truly imprisoned as if we lay at the bottom of a dungeon, heaped with chains but trusted and full of advice.

The men of grace and context know that life comes without warning, and as suddenly goes. They denied none of their natural inclinations, and repressed none of their bodily desires. They never felt the spur of fame. They sauntered through life gathering its pleasures as the impulse moved them. They filled in the cross roads, but they cared nothing for fame. In death they all have the same qualities and they all “pull snow.”

Now spurred to frenzied action by the promise of a reward or fame, the question is: were you a Cemetery or were you a Celebrity? Thus the myriad things are equal at birth, and again become equal in death. All are equally wise, equally foolish, equally noble, equally base.

Today people live fewer years to get home, others are employed many, but they all die. The benevolent sage dies just as dead as the wicked fool. Alive they were [the sage-kings] Yao and shum; dead, they are just rotten bones. Alive they were [the cruel tyrants] Lieh and Chou; dead, they are just rotten bones. And rotten bones are all alike; who can distinguish them? Then let us make the most of these moments. Try to notice the improvements and find ways of measuring them. We have to be concerned with what those have said…. always.

The Fundamental of Confucius

Early Chinese thought was recognized on the basis of Schema. Confucius identified it. Some of the political movements since have gone the opposite way. That is the inert persons responsible for the network of ideas, always a guy, has enjoyed better times since. The culture in China has vacillating within it military and political issues; yet there is an imperative. It is nearly systemic to the cultural makeup for the reason that the object for which people can talk is the cause of complications. It is inevitable that Schema will develop from the obstacle. Going on the basis of unity or the similarity of a conditioned thinking process, the emphasis for order and unity secures Confucius will recognize the absence of it. How does one ascend into grace, or achieve immunity from the encroaching Schema. This is my idea: assuming a person is sympathetic to the Schema, society and culture as it is good or bad gets congested; it would be satisfactory to sort of delete all of the various instances of the thought; all of them all at once. I refuse to believe that Confucius would not notice the silence. So, assuming the deletion has sufficiently affected the culture, it is marked as a waking for Confucius. Even though there is little written about the philosopher, Confucius evidently appears at instances when the schema has disappeared.

Madonna I’m “TEV2”

I want to know a little more about Madonna. Confessions is really great. I would never say that about anyone unless I thought they were equipped to process it. Admittedly though I do not think I could differentiate a Paranoid person from the Performer. It would help a lot if I could tell what I am [a boy / a girl]; I am TEV2. The last few times I took a 48D; which with the given in-site, is passing at that, I discovered I’m right where I’m at! Did she go somewhere else? Hell no. From the repertoire of things I am able to do, that they are not a public spectacle, I can only hope that they would be appropriate; but that I am acting on the basis that I believe what I am doing is in fact in agreement with the Truth of what I am doing. Basically, don’t go somewhere else. The thoughts should be accepted on the basis of their merits; sometimes it’s itself.

Madonna has correct thinking! So just how is Madonna doing? Madonna’s web site is pretty good. I was reminded of the type (real clean) with none of the “euroMA” high end negatives that come with the Madonna territory. I have been won. She really has all her stuff tuned up. “Hello? Madonna? I want to sign your guest book. First though, could we see where we’re at with Max Allen Collins?”

If it were not for the name as his talent, he never would have flipped Dick Tracy over, run him ragged through various instances of Cezanne, and twisted him until we should accept the compromising psychiatric circumstance of, “she should have made it easier for him to forgive,” he would have got this stuff long ago. But he is his name, and he still hides behind it. Did Max Allen Collins ever do any moonlighting? As usual, people work. The worse the tweaking, the harder it is on the people who work. The essentials though we have to work once straightened out makes it a lot easier for us. I mean we won’t have to work quite as hard.

Getting back to the person I want to talk about. I say; yeah. yea; it is the name thing, and Madonna has the thinking; I can hear it. Everything is in the best of all possible places. So, anyway, Max is the guy who hangs there just because he can tell there are similarities; like agreement. To get this you would have to have studied for years on the Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy. You would have had to realize that Devitt is a good name given similar circumstances. I will tell you that it will come up at the right time; and you will have the correct thinking too. And with the correct thinking; it is just the most amazing, “would be song.” Since when is a name bad on the basis that it is mean!

God where did my childhood go? No, No, I am responsible; I am no ‘nvu’. I have been in Roe v. Wade a while during my childhood. So, that is about the sum total of it; Right? I guess I matured enough not to be in danger of getting chosen. The rule is 1.2.3. Candidly, I would have been a lot better off if I had been Catholic. Even The Catholic Project Rachel has correct thinking. Project Rachel is the Catholic version of Roe V. Wade. That’s amazing to me!

Especially noteworthy since I’m on the topic, I am not flip-flopping either. Madonna? pick up. I just want to give credit where credit is due. This is not an invitation either, and I am betting that if I never get a response from Madonna, confessions is enough. Beyond that, which people often try; this is “TEV2.” And so I am a boy and I have everything. If nothing else this reading has been in-creditable.

While great songs are written and the few Rock Stars have become the Many Stars, I could only reward myself by giving my dad an award.

We’re Getting Along

I am fascinated by the Japan and China exchange.

If I had to choose between the two I would choose China. But I am just being honest about my history. Just a little more about that; I am willing to admit that Sony is a bad name as is my family name on my mother’s side: Polson. Basically the problems these two countries are going through are based on circumstances that could be explained easily just knowing that.

Yet I get just underneath the surface, and I can understand the political issues. Koizumi, who is I guess ending his political position is somewhat bitter about having not had any sons. His claim is that China has enjoyed the benefits of its culture, a rather assertive feminist disposition. I am like what? There are women in practically every facet of my life. I learned about women’s issues. Should I be defensive about my own conscience of this imbalance? I say imbalance only to the extent that I know my best ability in contrast to myself knowledge; I leave and I am good. Assuming I am leaving as predicated by my own personal substance such as a social function, the facts about me such as my self knowledge, I also expect my constituency to also have knowledge. But, to leave similarly; I do not think I would have any gain from that proceeding. It is almost as if I have fixated on something you can pull on. I am aware that to get a son, the Y is a recessive gene, you had better not pull on anything. So, yes I am leaving and everyone is quite sure it is good. I take my leave. And; I do have issues about Return; a conversation at a Convalescent Hospital. But, that will be a subject for another story.

The intended message the Prime Minister in Japan has and wants to remedy is about the Chinese ethic. I do not want to go into the mechanisms and theories about my leave, I do know for a fact my leave is not only a part of prayer, it is also a part of the body. Some guy says who writes about Adorno says the thing I am about is anthropomorphic. I take that to mean I would be in character Somatic. I would be described as weird. I don’t see it. What is it that the guy says is anthropomorphic about me? So, how does a person recover from leave? There is no remedy. Leave is the program. And, women’s issues are a point for China to receive Constructive Criticism.

So, getting back to Japan and China, there is some confusion about just exactly how they are relating. Japan is asking for China to be Transparent. I am confused about this. Is Japan hoping China will figure out how to put it in their self? Of course this is a question taking great liberty. And the return, will China be satisfied when the Feminist ethic yields cultural reform. I doubt that there will be any reform. No, everything the same; that there is an emphatic conditioning requirement expected. I am up to the task. So, what if China has been living their culture to the detriment of national success. If what China wants, and I am there to be made an example to the degree that they will get it from me, outside the box will hurt a little. And this conditioning, the process of becoming comfortable with, “Leave,” which has to take place slowly is probably appropriate for someone like me who is good with taking leave. It is an ancient culture and with the kind of time there is much to protect. If even a person were conscious of their prayer would it advance appropriately? Japan is disappointed that a person of public order couldn’t have a son. Japan says there must be change..

Now I am pretty intelligent about the order of things. This tertiary outcome, I am saying takes time and is described as conditioning, is nothing in comparison to the fact that there is a world. I stopped. There is a world. So, which is it? This really important truth that everything even our prayers ultimately provides the way for our knowledge to be reassuring? Or is there credence to a cultural assertiveness and patient understanding the better social platform. I do not think that Japan and China disagree. It just looks like Japan has the thinking for the cosmological story to proceed. And China is outside the box. Is China Disenchanted? Why do I get my mail when ever I think something is wrong here? Would China choose Yes, or No? Does China like Expressions. How about the Story of Peter Pan? Jackson Pollock, The Stone Roses, Kung Fu Hustle.

I have some updated views which will hopefully put this political message into another perspective.

The First Day of Class

The girl I wonder my content is too much about her. I think I am supposed to be writing, just not to her. Sure I have lots of ideas about writing. My main issue being I need to write more often. But my writing is probably more like revise, revise, revise, until my thoughts are no-longer a trace. This is supposed to be writing with more content rather than quality. I am quite sure you know how it sounds when you first set out to write for an example- ‘a poem’. It sounds like the guy from rush; kinda sciency and technical. Oh my God I remember that. All my metaphors were a process; It sucked.

Well, keep working on it; you will get better. Your voice will try to do something like Emmanuel Kant. This is just the beginning. Writing is pretty good most normally. Poetry is another creature. Are you OK with it. Hopefully your poems are in your notebook. After you are underway a while it sounds better; it is like pealing away the systems. The stuff that is left is art- basically.

Every so often when I begin and I should say I am a total geek. Assuming I am responsible for a childhood I have yet to realize why Humanities causes learning and science is tried out everywhere until it ends up in somebody’s journal soon to become a humanity and thus learning. If you are a chick, I recommend starting once in a while. I think I am just underneath the surface here. So, pick up an old ‘Rush’ album and put yourself through it. Well, technically, take or bring the book which ever, if it is a book; you have been at the beginning. Somewhere there is an adolescent who is going to loosen up. And somewhere there is a total geek whose tried enough stuff to take a humanity. Is this line of reason leading to the same place. If it is up to me, I will be sure there is a proud father somewhere.
Thanks.

Part I Record Collection

I am updating and doing the upkeep for my site. This is pretty much a migration from the Yahoo Blog at 360. So I am posting stuff from a year ago.

I am excited about Rhapsody. My half-brother had a rather large collection of albums spanning from the early sixties till about 1987. After that, the girl who came into his life convinced him to part with that collection; they married. Realistically, I did not think I would ever forgive him. I listened to music from his collection when ever I visited (every summer). Now there is rhapsody on the internet. It is like the record collection I learned so much about as a child. The site is really easy, just type the album and it plays streaming sound; nothing to download except a plug-in at the beginning. After the trial period I signed up. I don’t know how to say this but if my half-brother thought he would get it all back, well his thinking sorta came true. I mean I am satisfied– Rhapsody is it! I am not in touch with my half brother hardly at all. My father who had favored him for many years doesn’t know that I resolved with an Internet service instead. Without making any sense at all, I guess my father is looking through him to the degree he is expecting a fan. Is that me? My half brother is probably going to get the family money; I just wonder what he will do with it. It isn’t very much. It is probably debts if I think about it for a second. I am the rotten son, but because of Rhapsody I am not the needed Fan.
