The Reverend Rhoda Treherne-Thomas, a Hero

Our Hero: Mother Rhoda, (The Reverend Rhoda Treherne-Thomas, M.Div. Priest Associate) Firstly, I want you to know that she is a warm, erudite, cheerful and dedicated Theologian. She is one who seeks to nurture, encourage and edify all those around her. She is a delightful teacher, role model and mentor. Further, I'm sure that you've been lucky if you've heard one of her sermons, had a pastoral visit with her, or encountered her in the community. For a senior, five feet tall and about 100 lbs, she is huge in her impetus, fervor and delivery. We count ourselves lucky for her to be part of our church and the community. Most recently, in the line of duty, Mother Rhoda, as usual, with little regard for her personal safety, braving the elements, old age and going where ever her ministry takes her was mugged and suffered a broken hip. This is an attempt to thank her, in whatever small way, for her example and heart-felt sense of duty. I believe that in the least, she should be acknowledged as a self-less messenger of “The Good News,” not just by our church, but by all. God Speed your recovery, Mother Rhoda!

Politics, Industry and pollution

From The desk of: Rosemarie Dundon

ON The issues regarding climate change, pollution and industry:

Ladies and Gentlemen:

My suggestion is to change the processes with which we dispose of wastes; this is of course not a new idea in principle...

Question: How else will we dispose of the toxins and emitions that are hazardous to our well
being? Namely, emitions should be filtered, captured and disposed of.

WHAT? I believe that we are not about to stop the ways we manufacture,but we can change the way we dispose of wastes. I write to directly introduce a starting point idea. Our manufacturing does not necessarily have the change today; how we pollute the environment does need to be adaptable.


Simple is best? Since our world economy is dependent on manufacturing and it's processes,'
we need to move toward conservation, responsible disposal of emitions and address the effects on our environment.

Filtration and disposal are more likely to be accepted as modes of operations; these would not interfere with the manufacturing, instead, what is being offered: a new process which is seeking a responsible manufacturing that contributes to clean air and less harmful emitions.

Let's shelve the idea in principle that we are going to STOP emitions completely for now. Instead, let's circumvent the processes' that make emitions, pollution and bio-hazards.

Let's make filtration systems, what comes immediately to mind is filtering the toxins and wastes. Let's capture the pollutants, and dispose of these filtration filters that would “hold” the toxins.

i.e.Automobiles:
Idea: Trap and dispose of emitions as solid waste.
Just make a “Sock” which would cover the tailpipe, filter the emitions and change the filter often.

The word “Sock” is used deliberately, because you take your socks on and off. You change them when their dirty, right?

WHAT?

Other ancillary ideas:

Next Question:

If each factory, eliminated their emitions of toxins, or lowered them with filtration, how much better off would the world be?

Simple is best, is it not?

The first idea is: How much easier it would be if we created either an antidote for or a filtration system for, (or optimally for both), to trap these emitions /toxins and chemicals?


WHAT? I hope I have the facts correct. Is it not true that EVERY item on the Periodic Table of Elements has an anti-dote?

This is the First idea or first phase:
On that principle,why have we not “cured” pollution by using chemical antidotes to each element?

Why, if the former is not possible, why cant
we “TRAP” THE EMITIONS, WITH A SPECIFICALLY FORMULATED “ANTI-DOTE” DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED, OR DEVELOP A FILTRATION SYSTEM THAT RENDERS THE TOXINS CAPTURED AND DISPOSABLE.

Next Question:
Why, if we cannot find the antidote, why cant we
simply develop a filter that will trap the toxins and figure out how to dispose of these dirty filters as a
solid waste management feature?

WHAT? Ideas in sum:

1)Develop a antidote, and reverse the chemical makeup of each particular toxin, emition or hazard.
2)Develop a filtration system to trap air toxins,
and dispose of same as a solid waste an easier thing to dispose of?
3)Develop a filtration system for each toxin,
create the antidote to the toxin; dispose of the filter as solid waste.

Again, further, on the principle on the Periodic Table of Elements, I understand that each element has an antidote. Therefore, I submit the following ideas.

Other applicable General Concepts on Pollution:
Pollution, can we not add vitamins to our water supply? I understand that fluoride, in large dosages is a cancer causing agent. We use it to help keep our water clean now.

We need clean safe and healthy water. Why not introduce vitamins into our water supply for general health advocacy?

Basic Concept Extrapolations:
Can we not reverse or “Cure” polluted water with the same idea discussed earlier ? ~ Reverse pollution by reversing the elements in the water that are harmful.

WHAT? Make our water supply clean and healthy.
Or not.

Campaigne finance reform

A WORD ON CAMPAIGNE FINANCE REFORM

In fairness to all who aspire to elected office, let no one be disadvantaged by finances, instead let he/she be disadvantaged by their issues, ideas and basic philosophy.
Let those who best understand American Values win!

HOW? Remember FDR rode into city by city, making his platform and rhetoric known? He pulled up on the train route, made his speeches and went onto the next town. The key item in an election is exposure.

Well,ok, but today we have media and a lot of money invested in each candidate. So? How do we level the playing field, make everyone running for office (be) heard, and how do we make sure it is fair to each candidate, their constituents and society as whole?

Campaigne Finance Reform:

Cooperation is needed from all involved; the candidate, the constituents and media.
Page 2 of 3 ~.

What? Make no further personal campaigne finance contributions. Instead, initially as the race begins, make all contributions equally shared by all who are running for office. At the end you would make the bulk of money go back to the winning party-candidate. Make no mistake, each candidate will be heard, the general party platform will be be established for the coming election,and no one will lose because he/she could not finance their campaigne.

Instead of a candidate running for office, it should be that he/she best represents the party, the people and country.

HOW? All donations are to pay for air time/media/press for all candidates; until such time as the party candidate is chosen.

At that end of the campaigne cycle we will have heard from everyone, we will have made our decision, and we will have a party-candidate we totally support.

For example: the democratic party would fund all ads for the party;the candidates will get equal time providing a few loose ends are eliminated.


Page 3 of 3 ~
How then will begin traveling town to town is: Everyone will be heard! Point two: the approach to any election should be based on party-variables.

Town to Town debates can take place and be distributed worldwide candidate by candidate. The entire approach toward elected office would be: A narrowing down of our idea of a candidate for elected office.Our basic value system will be established.

Debates can naturally take place and take on a process of elimination; in other words: Each candidate will debate with all the others, because the party-itself will pay the expenses.
That is not to say that media should not have to front some of the costs. Politics is news.

Air time for a debate is prime time for advertising. Therefore, media should be mandated to fund telecasts to some extent.

WHAT? Just the latest from a girl from Queens.

QUERY IN THE BLOGOSPHERE~

 

                                    

March 15, 2010, Eight PM

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Greetings! The following is query toward publication of my collective works; the lines below are from my work called: "Serendipity" which I am promoting here. For your information, Serendipity is one of two of my narratives. Additionally I have a book in development; I also have a substantial Collection of poems and Song poems in flux.

 

For instance, in abbreviated form, (forty lines only), "poetry.com" has a small collection of my poems. Search "Rosemarie (Columban) Dundon" if you wish. (The poems there are formatted to fit a forty-line dialogue box).

 

Actually Google, (my name) and you'll get a wide variety of good reading!

 

Hence, at long last, I submit my query. I Thank you! for your time, attention to detail and industry circumspect. For your information, my resume, bio and standard cover letter are also attached for your perusal.

 

Let me include a synopsis: It is thus~The discourse in this narrative is three things:

1)The development of a Moral Compass, Personal Philosophy and view

2)The coming of age, or "Passing of the Torch," and

3)The Examined life. The point comes clear that one should not take it lightly that they must earn their place at "the adults table."  It asks: Are we too free? Our position in the cosmos is also a reverie here.

 

The speakers are: God Himself, Omnipotent, all Powerful, and Lugh:  Who was once thought to be "The presiding deity of all human knowledge and all artistic and medicinal skill," a Young Lass, Deirdre, Her beau, Tom, and Her Grandma, "Nanny."

 

 

 

Development:

Early on Deirdre gets rid of her muse, and substitutes that relationship with one in kind, one to her maker.  Like shedding skin, fledgling like, she attempts to understand "The Flower of One's Age," They develop a thesis.

 

Exchange: A discourse it attempted to discuss what is commonly understood about dating, theology, philosophy, relationships, what is right and wrong, and our relationship with our maker.

 

"The Elephant in the room": The idea of the exercise of free will and the free will concept leave her bereft. We discuss the progression of time and what a person's life is and isn't; we discuss what one calls knowledge today and what was once "Fact." A sense of the mission in life, and finding it, are related, debated and enumerated.

 

Progression:

A gypsy appears at an opportune moment and gives a reading without a fee, to deliver a message "from beyond here." She recommends that the couple take a trip "mountain climbing," and soon they are at the precipice, in search of a "love of the unselfish kind."

 

Precipice:

They reach a plateau and an understanding of love, life and liberty. Nanny breaks up the momentum before much can transpire. Once home again, their discourse picks up and they decide to "marry and not tarry." Toward the end, there is a progression toward old age implied. First, Deirdre wants more information on what is, what should be and what to do. Nanny offers her best allegories... Nanny dies, and it is recognized "how fragile, temporal and insignificant are we..." (This would easily be a trilogy. I have a skewed second narrative which is still in development, called: "Eudora and friends)."

 

Their resolve~

The joys of life and death as a harsh reality are without retort, and they decide to live the best that they see fit and to the extent that they are able.

 

You might be better served with actual excerpts which may suit you best. I am not a good salesperson. (You would know that if you've read my resume...)

 

The first and last words belong to God, Omnipotent…

God closes with, "       I am not a myth, and I will reach them how I please; whether it is through you or "The First Mover"[1] question, or some newly found information.

            Some of these same great thinkers perhaps think not that I may only want a dialogue between the scientists and the believers.  In my time, I reveal all I want to be known. [2]

 

As an aside, One's perspective is imperishable, and style 'tis original firstly, and best of all, all we have are ourselves discovering a world of endless learning. Perhaps my views are dated, but they are authentic, effective and reasonably interesting, I understand. My bio and resume are attached to this communiqué.

 

Thank you for your critique.

 

God Speed.

Rosemarie

 

In case you're still interested, the narrative begins thus:

 

God:                Ah, a gathering of all the "must see people;" the bright and the beautiful ones, the haves, the capitalists, the gabbers, and the other halves; it's a dinner and a dance a chance for love and romance.

                        It may take an entire lifetime for most to learn that there are loves and then there are other friends whom stay far beyond the reaches of youth, earthly beauty and this lifetime; they awaken each other to all life has to offer; they offer constancy, goodness, fruitfulness and peace. Seek the beauty within first, but do not be blind to what I have made, be it comeliness or intellect or both.

                         Leave your purpose to me, and just "Come back the way you left"[3], complete, an angel of heaven, equipped with all he needs to overcome the darkness of the world of man; you will age, and return to me whither you choose to or not. In the end, even if you have denied and defied me in life, you will come back as either my child or my adversary. Remember that the head is the portal of the soul; do not defile either.

                        Disobey me all your earthly years, but when I say, "Come," you will;[4] enjoy your dancing years, and when wisdom and age have come, whether they arrive together or not, advise and guide the younger; tell them they should "…not to be enslaved to the body and the appetites,"[5] like you have already been warned, because you know quite well you will shed the body and go on our way to paradise or some other station elsewhere.

                        Considering yourself always on "stand-by" to a flight to heaven, to the throne of God, you must live each day as if it were your last to the best of your ability. Cherish each other, all, because there are no disposable persons. Always in your life be as a small child,[6] curious and inquisitive, speculative, hopeful, but never combative, cruel or mischievous. Above all, cast away any arrogance, no matter your learning or experience; conceit[7] is treachery and a pathway beyond hubris, and eventually, your own early demise. Do not come to me too soon, because of your own folly, instead come when I am ready, when all I sent you for is accomplished. Walk with all your ancestors in tow.

 

I know in the least you are amused. It would be great to hear from you if you were to request the rest of the manuscript. In any case, I thank you

again for your attention, focus and industry.

 

Yours truly,

Rosemarie Columban Dundon

A FRIEND OR A FEIND? I POSE THE QUESTION!

Dear Friend:

Friends are allowed to speak freely. I don't want any relationship that is not based on communiqué, respect and honesty. My only reservation is I went and wrote what I should have spoken already, in passing, in conversation.

I cringe at the idea that you will tell me how inadequate I am, but that's your job, because friends do that kind of thing all the time.

These are some thoughts I've had about friends. A poem I wrote years ago…

Friends are like cheerleaders and traffic cops, on one 
hand, they don't shut up for you, and the other never 
stop shutting up for you. A friend's ears and mouth 
are like revolving doors and safety vaults, never at 
fault. 
Friends know when to stay out of the way. 
Friends know what to and not to say. 
Friends are like trees, their roots firmly planted. 
Friends will never leave you empty handed. 
Friends provide kindness when they can even when it 
leaves them branded. 
Friends are absent when needed, should be heeded when 
needed and state the truth rather than leave you 
robbed of reality. This too, tells you what you mean 
to them, you see?? 
Friends are those who know they don't need an 
invitation, and friends are those who help you face 
the nation, initiations, gyrations, machinations, joys, sorrows, 
and happy days; in many ways, friends are those who 
will be the last to say "Goodbye" and the first to 
say, "Get out." 
Friends can be gentle, friends can be tough, friends 
can be factual, and that can be rough. 
The best thing about friends is that that can be. 
(LIKE YOU) 
Love, 
Rosemarie 

So, are you or are you NOT my friend?

It's not clear to me, and it makes me angry that I am insulted by your lack of remarks on the fact, the truth and the Lore.

 
 

Dear Greg:  "Dear Greg" is that the same as friend?

I would not bother to write if I thought you unworthy of my time. Most would be on the defensive and never see you again; after your remarks about NOT being my boyfriend; that's" the poll" of the Rosemarie's BUD's Crew.

I do not seek fulfillment in any person, because it comes from within. I am a thinking feeling and caring person, indignant to your remarks, shocked that it sometimes seems you have no rewarding relations to me, and you have all your cards, and that is a problem.

Anyone, including you can be too safe, too stifled and too restrained.

Campaigne Finance Reform

The following is a response to an article elsewhere..

 
 

Dear Ms. Butler:

 
 

You've got a pretty good synopsis of events. Lobbyists would not have a business at all if campaign finance reform was initiated properly.

 
 

Like what? Like scheduling and the restructuring of all air time, (all medias) to be available to all those who govern...who wish to be elected, and have a valuable contribution to make.

 
 

Purchasing Air time is unwise in the sense that AIR TIME is already spent, before the segments of news are made.

One would appear online, TV radio and in print and all media, based on the priority of their issue, not based on whether "A sneaker company" likes or dislikes their politics, not based on whether the opinion given it at the short list of things to discuss.

 
 

News currently is based on need, interpretation, opinion and finance.

We know, but how much the better our governance if we selected "TODAY'S TOPICS FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, AND DEVOTED TIME TO THE PRESSING ISSUES AT HAND.

 
 

In short, tuning into the news should not be a vast array of sound bites, undeveloped debates and smut.

 
 

Just deliver to us the News, the Sports, The Weather, Domestic and Foreign policy &C. Just see to it that our priorities in News reflect our Priorities in Governance.

 
 

The idea is: Everyone will be heard, once they developed the well informed opinions that are frankly sometimes are hard to come by. Hence, the popular view, by many who say, they just don't watch the news. They believe we are given whatever the great machine deems necessary, important and relevant.

 
 

OUCH!

 
 

We should hear from Mr. President, The First Lady and our Congress daily.

I know we do, but we end up befuddled with partial scenarios, items that

sway back and forth and the real sense that we have no choice, no need for input and no say - save Election Day.

 
 

Those who are at a quandary of what to do about staying in office, would under this (PLAN?) "set of ideas," not worry, need or consult others than their constituencies.

 
 

They would answer the call to government, they would govern to the best of their ability and be justified in running for re-election or not..

 
 

You know well that it costs too much money, easily it costs millions, just to get your face and platform recognized.

 
 

Scheduling the media coverage, providing the proper time-limits to best extrapolate the issues, each in kind, each by each, would not involve "deals"

 
 

Deal? No Deal? You're darn right,

"No deal..."

 
 

Here we go:

 
 

Currently you have to watch several stations, listen to the radio and review on line sources to get a sense of the big picture.

 
 

Why? Because money is the issue to get coverage, knowledge of platform positions and successes known.

 
 

Why? I don't want to know, and the only things I think that are driving the lobbyists are "DEALS."

 
 

Let me digress: News is new. Positions are hopefully sustainable, and we as a great nation maintain the free speech. No problem there....not news...

 
 

Scheduling a daily conference with Mr. President, The cabinet and all those involved will stimulate the interest of people who are so turned off that they say, "I don't watch the news. When I want to know the weather I look out the window..."

 
 

It makes for a good argument, media already allocates the time it sees fit to politics, but how much more would we participate if we knew, or learned the real making of our policies?

 
 

We would, I'd hope make the consumers more patriotic, the economy strong and our relationships around the globe fierce, diligent and diplomatic.

 
 

Socioculturally, ethnically and because of our great diversity, we stand to have our greatest strength be our greatest battle: diversity.

 
 

Once again,

 
 

Monday and Friday: All news out of the Whitehouse, the press coverage of how Mr. President and Staff are proceeding. It is a question-answer, a speak and say and a town hall meeting if you will with our executive branch. TRANSPARENCY.

 
 

Tuesday & Wednesday: Senate to present the issues on what is most desired, what would work well and what should and should not be done in government.

 
 

Wednesday and Thursday: House of Representatives taking the floor and presenting what they'd like most to be done within the week.

 
 

Saturday, Sundays and Holidays: Let me present the scenario:

One in government or in main stream constituency, would request of the media airtime. Airtime for them, airtime for the really important or pressing issues, following developing stories as they unfold, (largely done), but this would now be done better. This idea would be instead of being a way that is currently confusing and perhaps discouraging.

 
 

In response, media would grant the request or decline. The coverage is already available; it is just not being managed properly - in my opinion.

How? Well, let's think clearly. For instance, let's say that on Mondays and Fridays, we study peruse and explore the current issues to be worked over for President Obama's office for the week, month and year: MAKE A CONCRETE PLAN.

 
 

BY NO MEANS AM I INTIMATING THESE ITEMS, IDEAS OR EXTRAPOLATIONS ARE NOT ALREADY IN USE, IM JUST SITTING IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER OFFERING IDEAS. WE KNOW WHAT WORKS FOR BUSINESS, AND WE KNOW THAT GOVERNMENT IS A "PEOPLE CENTERED" MACHINE.

 
 

Ok, so what do I want? Well, transparency at all levels of governance. Please! Don't tell me who my congressman is sleeping with!

As an aside, not only do I not care who he/she is with, I'm listening to the legislation of values at a level that is inappropriate, time consuming and a lesson: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." This is not an attempt to dispense with traditional family values, it is more so that we have so much to do, so little time to do it, and should not spend days, weeks, and a period of years discussing such things, things that are personal, and decimating to the official, their staff and which undermine our entire political system.

 
 

No, it is not to say that government officials are exempt, it is merely not news, and whatever the names and places are the scenario is the same.

In fairness, yes, report there is a significant issue of ethics, but no it's not news.

 
 

When will we escape the sensationalism of Politics? Why shouldn't we? Well, the sensationalism sells newspapers, makes us believe perhaps that we know our candidate better than we do. It makes these folks accountable, as necessary, but not sustainable. We learn of the issues and we're done with it; we get back to our great experiment, Democracy.

 
 

Our time is well spent if people feel they are well informed, have developed a position and make our choices based on the issues, not based on "the tissues: reality."

 
 

Media covers all the current events anyway, what more the better if they were to deliver more than what eventually amounts to sound bites, more that shock waves. Yes I believe that if, and because people really want to know "The whole story" the message should be put forward and not just what has leaked out? OKAY?

 
 

Again, just start somewhere:

Campaign finance should be eliminated. Lincoln and FDR showed us that campaigning is riding into town, on the train, giving their speech and making their next stop. Where is the old time candidacy, and why don't we best utilize our resources; that's all…it would turn out that all those who support their candidate would be well informed, because they have (the candidate) withstood the scrutiny of selection, appointment and values and ethics; their record would be honorable, upright and free of chaos that is.

 
 

For instance....under this plan, suggestion or simply essay, the weeks, months and years from and toward elections would be based on the performance of the candidate, the examination of his/her record and not anything else…

 
 

Hypothetically, Tuesday, and Wednesday we would study the news out of the Senate. Wednesday and Thursday we would speak about the House of Representatives.

 
 

All issues would be examined more fully, there would be greater discussion, more organization, more discourse and people who refuse to watch the news, would turn-coat and become more well informed more satisfied with the workings of government.

 
 

Again, this is the crux of it:

 
 

The Whitehouse has the reins, and the congress and city government are working on passing legislation.

Many times, oftentimes, like in the Great Depression, there were bills passed for reform on the basis of the great sense of urgency, the economic collapse of our Marketplace &IC.

 
 

In short, it is this writer's effort to say, all we need to do is be organized. Sadly, we can only be as productive as we are mindful, notable and diligent to the American Cause: Democracy. But do not let us lose sight of the fact that we work, they work and some how "the world goes 'round."

 
 

Organization of any enterprise is make or break based on the transparency, diligence, and perseverance of its governing bodies.

 
 

It sounds so rudimentary, but truly a well oiled machine works best...the man on the production line knows whether his product is good.

 
 

Let us use the sense we have. In business, no business can obtain capital without a business plan in place; one that works, serves it purpose and is feasible.

 
 

We say, in so many words: (NIKE,) "Just do it!" We love to hear the plan, so tell us more, OKAY?

 
 

We, as citizens too often are tuned out, not wanting to hear news that is bad, we may have a feeling that we are being spoon fed whatever the great machine allows...and corruption is seemingly limitless. I disagree.

A cynical view, admittedly, but a common one I might add.

 
 

 
 

Democracy, The Underserved and The disABLED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

June 24, 2009

 

Dear Mr. President, Senators, Councilmembers and Staff:

 

I write with a great sense of urgency it behooves me to communicate my personal gratitude, volition and sense of your scope of governance.

 

You don't hear often enough the good news about our great society on a microcosm level. The results of your sense of duty, service and ambition has positive far reaching spheres of influence. Personally, I am living with emotional, cognitive and physical illness, awareness and limitations. However, I am not locked away, instead I am brought out front, making my contribution, and enjoying the benefits of good citizenship here in America, namely in Staten Island, New York.

 

I have notable cognitive, emotional and physical restraints which DO NOT limit my ability to make a contribution to the "great machine," America, which is the most successful experiment in our human history, democracy. These elements do not make it so that I CAN NOT be productive, it is just a situation where the work has to suit my capacities of self.

 

In short, I just want to write you, to say, "Thank YOU! And let you become ever more aware to the possibilities for all of us who wish to participate in the marketplace.

 

I work for a T-Shirt Factory, alongside those who are in what is deemed a "sheltered workshop."The facility I work for hires, trains and utilizes the workforce of persons with every form of disABILITY. Some work cleaning remote controls for a cable company, some make T-Shirts, uniforms and just about any item you might want to create an image on; for instance, promotional items &C.

 

We make minimum wage, we show up on time, do our job and appreciate having a place to go. Notable also, my, AOT " Assisted OutPatient (Voluntary) Treatment Program" make managing my position possible; its an example of how well we can do with whatever we are given....

 

The environment is very encouraging without the presence of slackers, scammers and opportunists, because we LIKE to WORK.

 

Personally, I make way more, once you add in my SSDI benefits, than I would just assisting with the manufacture of T-Shirts, and I just wanted to thank you for providing me a place in the Marketplace at "Special Tees" alongside those who work for "Community Access." Ancillary to these statements, I wish to express sincere dismay at news I've heard in my conversations with others regarding business flux. The story goes that someone decided that it would be much cheaper to make items with silk screening printing in China, solely based on the price.

 

I know personally that shifts in the marketplace like that can and does create short term monetary gains, without sense of patriotism, simply loyalty and senses including awareness. People don't really want to see that small jobs are big business. We know well of the fallout from NAFTA.

 

We have had a reduction, I'm told in overall production due to such frivolous purchasing.Maybe, you can stem that tide of short sighted-money driven greed? I heard that it was significant loss, the figures are not available to me, but perhaps you can muster up the numbers?

 

Again, this is just a verbose note to say, "Thanks" and to let you be ever mindful that we are out here, doing what we can, because of what you've provided for us. That's all, folks!

 

Sincerely yours,

Rosemarie C. Dundon
