Power corrupts, and Absolute power corrupts Absolutely.  This is true anywhere and everywhere, and can be exampled in so many ways that I would die before I named them all, and I would have missed all the ones that occured while I was listing them.  Hey, look, another one just happened.  Truth is, no matter what anyone does, you'll always end up with someone who doesn't agree, whether it's good, bad, or ugly.  You can please some of the people all of the time.  You can please all of the people some of the time.  BUT YOU CAN'T PLEASE ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME.  Anyway, I'm gonna spew one more piece, a quote very few of you may know.

"Though I may not agree with what you say, I will fight with my life for your right to say it."  (I think it's Thoreau.)  Americans are all for their own freedoms to do whatever they want, however they want, whenever they want.  They also cherish the freedom to not give a damn about anywhere else in the world.  We have the freedom to be ignorant, and too many people exercise that freedom on a daily basis.  And some people even more often than that.  We're free to be misled, misrepresented, misinterpreted, misunderstood, and mistaken for people who know about what goes on in the world.  But the truth is the average american is more content to drive his lexus to the gym just to sweat in a sauna with his stockbroker, then visit his mistress for his daily exercise, then return home to his wife and kids sweaty and tired, than research something he sees on the evening news.  Or at least that's the way we used to be.  Now enough people know how to use computers that the government actually has to withold information from the media, or pay them not to say things, instead of just puting a little bit of spin on them and leaving them alone to gather dust.  I'm still trying to find the other side of this whole september 11th thing.  I refuse to believe that whomever planned september 11th meant it to be the only part of their plan.  I want to know the connection between september 11th, chandra levy, enron, and andrea yates.  Because there has to be one.  I don't care if it's bumblebee tuna, I want to know that it exists, because I"m an american, and I have the freedom to pretend I know everything about everything.

Of course, none of that is my opinion, I just like having the right to say it.

Hmm...should probably stop 'trying' in that sense, as usually OBEs come to you for a reason until you get used to them, and can perform them instinctually.  I try not to OBE too often, ever since my mentor dreamwalked to me, accidentally waking me up, and taking part of me with her.

I guess for the sake of an initiation type thing, I'll post here as I've just signed up.  My alias comes from an online game I used to play, Gemstone 3 (some of you might know it...hehe), where he is a Level 8 Dark Elven Sorcerer (he wasn't always level 8, there was a time when he was level 7...but we won't get into that...).  As you can see, I don't spend much time in there, but it's fun to kick back and be someone else...*swoon*.  Anyhoo...it comes from me wanting to have a name that impled sorcerer, but didn't say it right out

S o r c e r e r
E R A N O S  S E R O R A N (actually, the original surname was Ceroran, but elven names shouldn't have hard consonants, your Ks, Ts, Ds, etc., so it became Seroran.  The Ns came in out of necessity)  It kinda makes sense.  To me.  When I've had my daily dose of 4X....j/k.

So...that's about it, I'll finish now.
