Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:The Power of Attraction
By John H. Sklare, Ed.D - October 10, 2011
There are few things in this world more fascinating than the power of human attraction. Interpersonal attraction between two people is the first step involved in initiating friendships and creating deeper romantic relationships. All of our personal relationships begin with the simple sense of attraction or being drawn together. And what makes us humans so interesting is that what attracts one person's attention will often go totally unnoticed by another. So today I would like you to think about the fascinating and important concept of human attraction by reflecting on two basic questions.
First, what attracts you to others? In other words, when you think about the friendships and love relationships you have had in your life, do these people have something in common that attracted you to them in the first place? Second, what attracts other people to you? The power of attraction is a critical cog in the relationship wheel, and giving it some mindful consideration is a very attractive thought indeed!
Take Action:
- Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! Further, Boycott Fox's Owner "Rupert Murcoch" and get him thrown in jail for illegal - political donations, corruption, greed, bribery, hacking!
- Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost its case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customer base. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard?
- End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
- Pass a LGBT friendly ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
- Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
- BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating money to anti-gay groups.
- BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
- Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
- "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC re-new the clown's show after he pulled such hateful shenanigans?
- Boycott Georgia for Execution of Troy Davis @ 11:08 EST, Sep 21, 2011:
Former US President and Former GA Gov. Jimmy Carter felt that TROY DAVIS should not be executed and deserved a re-trial. The Former Director of the FBI felt that TROY DAVIS Was Not Guilty! Do not drive through Goergia as it is dangerous. Do not fly via Atlanta. For your safety -Do not travel to GA. TELL YOUR COMPANY NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CONVENTION IN GA! "Georgia Executes Innocent People!"
And Now, Our War of the Fittest!

Name Your Poison: Gay Marriage or Global Warming?
Byron Kennard - Oct 9, 2011 - Huffington Post
Maybe I'm a big sissy, but the use of "wedge issues" in politics scares the living you-know-what out of me. This is not just because wedge issues are so damnably effective, and it's not just because they are so injurious to causes I hold dear -- which they sure as hell are.
I'm a gay man who has watched in dejection as same-sex marriage -- wielded as a wedge -- drove the passage of anti-gay constitutional amendments or initiatives in 37 states. I'm an environmentalist who has watched in disbelief as calls for action on climate -- wielded as a wedge -- drove the conquest of the Republican Party by climate deniers.
Case in point: when GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney recently declared that "humans contribute" to climate change, conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh gleefully went for the kill. "Bye-bye, nomination. Another one down," Limbaugh chortled, figuratively waving Romney's scalp.
Wedge issues unleash powerful raw emotions that violate the social rules society has imposed to repress humanity's proclivity for violence. The force of these emotions sweeps away things like common decency and civil discourse. Indeed, wedge issues are cynically conceived to destroy these social rules, to bring out the worst in people. And this is what scares me.
Gay people, like other persecuted minorities, possess a special antenna for sensing the instinctive violence that lies barely suppressed beneath the thin veneer of civilization. So if crazy, angry mobs are out hunting for scalps, I figure it's mine they're after -- and I don't mean just figuratively.
That's the bad news. Here's the good news: there's a terrific way of combating the crazies, and I think gays have found it. Consider the growing acceptance of gay marriage.
"The wedge has lost its edge," says Republican strategist Mark McKinnon. McKinnon knows what he is talking about. He was media adviser to George W. Bush's 2004 campaign, when same-sex marriage ballot measures helped turn out conservative voters in a dozen states.
McKinnon's view is reinforced by new polling data released in July by Dr. Jan van Lohuizen, who served as Bush's pollster in 2000 and 2004. This new analysis, based on data over a 13-year period, shows a dramatic growth in support for same-sex marriage. Moreover, this support has increased across the board. Since 2004, for example, support has increased 15 percent among seniors, 13 percent among Independents and 8 percent even among Republicans.
This trend has led some Republican strategists to worry that the GOP is on the wrong side of the same-sex marriage issue. In a New York Times article, Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, complained that "[t]he Republican Party is shrinking ... [T]here are large demographics in this country that view the party as intolerant" (italics added).
What caused this wedge to lose its edge? I answered this question in a post here just days ago. I described how gays "stole the march" on intolerance by using mass media and pop culture to build public support for gay marriage. Shows like Modern Family and Glee -- huge hits -- subversively undermine homophobia with comedy, and millions of viewers join in the fun.
Greens have been handed an opportunity equally large and appealing. They can succeed by ridiculing anti-science. Most Tea Party activists and most of the Republican presidential candidates have made themselves vulnerable to this charge. I say, go to it!
Politically, this will benefit gays and greens alike, who, after all, share a common enemy. People who are anti-science are likely to be homophobic. People who don't believe in evolution don't believe in gay marriage.
Ridicule is especially effective. Remember how the Wicked Witch of the West melted away after the Scarecrow threw a pail of water on her? Ridicule works like that. I've taken a stab at this by producing a series of 90-second videos I'm posting on YouTube that poke fun at climate deniers. Take a look at the video:
http://youtu.be/TtUyJD_xNAM
We aim to get the world to laugh in derision at climate deniers. Maybe, if we succeed, they'll be as dead as the Wicked Witch of the East after Dorothy dropped a house on her. As the Munchkins described the late departed, "she's not merely dead, but really most sincerely dead."
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
Important Notice: Our ObamaBiden2008 Group works hand - in - hand with Peckers PICS (Both groups were co-created to work with each-other). To prevent duplication of articles and questions, all members of this group are expected to join ObamaBiden2008. It is unfair for members that belong to both groups to hear members of just Peckers PICS (only) to make statements when the ObamaBiden2008 has covered such topics in detail. Therefore, members need to join ObamaBiden2008 immediately. This shall clear up communications and confusion. The LGBT cause is too important and beyond 1 person's need to just look at pictures. Therefore, please join ObamaBiden2008 now. No you don't have to read every article! But, it covers the LGBT community and includes updates on Health insurance; LGBT boycott list; Westboro Church; and the end of DADT, etc...Also, updates with the multi - state gov't's war against unions and people with disabilities. The group is created for you! There are gay teen suicides going on. There are Hate crimes against gay people. There are gays who are fired over their sexual identity. There are gay people who died for our cause! You always reserve the right to remove yourself from all my groups if you do not appreciate this request. I have done everything I can and now it is time for you to step up! My Groups are for Yahoo members who sincerely care about LGBT rights and Gay Mens Health! Please Join Now!
