“Before voting for this bill, I would ask you to please, please think of the children.”Īs of press time, the children were unavailable for comment. Barbara Staggs, D-Muskogee, in defense of a bill that would exempt cellular towers from the definition of “telecommunications services” for tax purposes. “We have a duty to protect Oklahoma’s youngest, and I take that obligation seriously,” said Sen. Askins said a vote against HB 1805, regarding automated external defibrillators, would be “a vote against babies, puppy dogs, flowers and sunny days.” “We must protect those who cannot protect themselves,” said Rep. “But how is redrawing the districts of the Peanut Commission ‘an investment in Oklahoma’s young people?’”īut Democratic lawmakers disagreed. “I mean, I guess if you’re boosting pre-school funding, I can understand,” said Sen. Republican leadership has been skeptical of the Democrats’ tactics, noting that the children probably didn’t give a damn about how much the Commissioner of Agriculture was paid. Democrats also cited Oklahoma youth as the reason to deregulate SBC, modify the districts of the Oklahoma Peanut Commission and allow campaign fundraising in Oklahoma County. Mitchell invoked the children to bolster support for HB 1201, which modified auditing requirements for the Department of Agriculture. “I fully believe that children are our future and we must invest in them.” “Children are our most precious natural resource,”

OKLAHOMA CITY (OP) – According to a recent study, fully 87 percent of the Democrats’ 2004 legislation has been filed ‘for the children.” Nearly 90% of Democrat genda for the childrenįrom the archives of Oklahoma’s great political satire writers of decades past, we bring you this classic reprint of a spoof that caused more than a little irritation to the political class on Lincoln Blvd. I am what is everything, I am what is none!' - Conscious Mind/God/Soul/Universe/Super Being/Multiverse/You/etc.?

But if you do exist you can at least do something. My philosophy is, you can't do anything if you don't exist. The fact that we are able to think is worthful. It won't/wouldn't/couldn't even think (or would it). If we don't exist, I'd say nothing would happen.īut now that we are existing, we should live life to the fullest exploring each and every thing so that when/if we don't/wouldn't have exist/existed we won't/wouldn't have/have had that nagging feeling in the back our mind (if mind exists after life) that what would 'life' have/have had been if we 'EXISTED'!Ĭonsider this, a soul/mind/thinking entity that doesn't exist wouldn't even have had a chance to think about this stuff. Now, there's only one thing that can happen. But what we DO in our lifetime will be the only thing that is worth or that matters for US. What we do would be worthless in few years. The only thing we can do is live our life with wonderful experience surrounding ourselves with people that we care about. Even the efforts that we make are going to be senseless in the vast expanse of this universe. Once you start pondering the infinite meaninglessness of the world you'd get so immersed in it that you'd realise, nothing really matters. Otherwise you're just a conscious being driving a multi cellular vehicle until it starts to corrode. The way you interact, the way you treat people, the way you think, the way you care, the way you touch other people's lives is what makes you, YOU!

In my opinion, 'You are what you make of you'. I believe there's no one correct answer in fact. What defines as you? Your name, your city, your profession, etc? But take all the materialistic or definitive things aside, then who are you? Now we come back to the question, who am I? So, as you start realising and exploring the world around you, you start thinking why the world is the way it is! Why couldn't it be something different? Why is every person different? Why is everyone not good and similarly why is everyone not bad? So for a considerable period of time, you are bound to think that what they say or what you hear is always right because in an unknown world, your parents/guardians are the ones who guide your first steps. This is a very general question in a sense that all conscious beings ask themselves! Who am I? Am I the soul with a body or a body with a soul! The moment you are born, you are put into a certain framework by your parents/guardians about the general functioning of life.
