- Paintball
- Is it proper for men to "play" a sport in which the object is to shoot one another?
Paintball is not like other sports played with a ball. It is not just merely an afternoon of amusement. Never has a golf ball, a football, a basketball or a baseball stopped an invading army. And that is why Thomas Jefferson  wrote to his own nephew:
"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.".
Paintball, as are other fighting sports (like karate, kendo, and boxing) is a martial art. Paintball is a modern martial art. Yes, Paintball is great fun, but it is fun with a serious purpose...to learn how to fight with a gun. Just as Kendo practitioners use wooden swords to practice the martial art of sword fighting, so do paintball warriors practice their skills with paint. Paintball provides the skill to keep in check the domestic tyranny in Thomas Jefferson's warning. And perhaps Paintball can help thwart the 40 year plan to destroy the US that Soviet defector Anatolily Golitsyn warned the CIA about in 1962.

- Cures!
- Planter Warts: Many years ago I suffered from an extensive "infestation" of planter warts. Time after time I tried having them frozen off by doctors and caustic chemicals and time after time they returned. Finally I visited my mother's doctor and he suggested that I try taking a fairly high dose of Vitamin A coupled with Dessicated Liver Tablets while directly applying some of the "juice" from a vitamin A gel cap to the warts. After about a month, they were gone for good. Years later my wife had a couple of planter warts, same result (using Vit A only). And later one of my sons, same result.
How to Cure Bowen's DiseaseBased on net research, I believe I suffered from Bowen's Disease. I didn't have a biopsy to validate my home diagnosis, but here's how I got rid of it. So take this advice with great skepticism and at your own risk. Initially, I tried iodine solution and it had some minor effects, but usually just caused the surface disturbances to move deeper under the skin. I found that heavy exposure to sunlight would eliminate much of the problem, but it did require basically sunburns to achieve the effect. And coupled with an unusually cool and cloudy Wyoming summer, I was unable to push this as a means to totally eradicate BD. Ultimately I used the One Minute Cure's schedule of oral, food grade hydrogen peroxide coupled with surface application of H2O2 coupled with Betadine (iodine) known by old school physicians as "brown bubbly". I believe this combination is responsible for my being cured of BD, but I also used the following which might have been factors: 1) used humidifier with a pint of H2O2 per gallon of water at night and 2) heavy consumption of curry spiced foods. The former definitely had clearing effect on my sinuses. The curry seemed to correlate with rapid disappearance of the BD. Before beginning the regimen outlined in One Minute Cure, be sure to check out Dr William Campbell Douglas's Hydrogen Peroxide: Medical Miracle since he discusses the risks of oral hydrogen peroxide therapy. He recommends H2O2 therapy via IV to reduce risk of stomach cancer. Anyway, just wanted to share my experience so that anyone researching Bowen's Disease can look at replicating my results. Just keep in mind that I did not have a biopsy done to confirm Bowen's, so it could be that I cured something else altogether. Proceed at your own risk. Seems the source of my "BD" was a couple of rather hard hits with a paintball. One on my right shoulder blade slightly broke the skin, the second on my lower shin. The bruises seemed to be permanent and after the one on the shoulder was a bit itchy. Nothing abnormal in the world of paintball, but the bruises stayed for a couple of years before any "beyond bruising", BD symptoms began to emerge. These two locations were the last to heal and seemed to be the mother ship of the BD.
- Travel
- "...the true motive of travel should be travel to become lost and unknown. More poetically, we may describe it as travel to forget. Everyone is quite respectable in his home town, no matter what the higher social circles think of him. He is tied by a set of conventions, rules, habits, and duties. A banker finds it difficult to be treated just as an ordinary human being at home and to forget that he is a banker, and it seems to me, the real excuse for travel is that he shall be able to find himself in a community in which he is just an ordinary human being. Letters of introduction are all very well for people on business trips, but business trips are by definition outside the category of pure travel. A man stands a poorer chance of discovering himself as a human being if he brings along with him letters of introduction, and of finding out exactly how God made him as a human being, apart from the artificial accidents of social strata social standing. Against the comforts of being well-received by friends in a foreign country and guided efficiently through the social strata of one's own class, there is the greater excitement of a boy scout in a forest, left to his own devices."
