Ridiculousness and Reality
Ridiculousness and Reality:
as Presented in Jane Austen’s Novel Pride & Prejudice
.
The prejudice that lies between those who are privileged versus those who are not as fortunate is an ancient battle.
In Jane Austen’s celebrated novel, Pride & Prejudice the reader is privy to see the interworkings of such a prejudice.
An excellent showcase of this kind of prejudice occurs in the novel when Lady Catherine Du Bourgh goes to visit Elizabeth Bennet in Longbourn.
Although Mrs. Bennet is absolutely delighted with the arrival of Lady Catherine, it is only because she is ignorant to the reason of her visit.
Ignorance truly is bliss since Mrs. Bennet is convinced that Lady Catherine’s travels were merely to inform them that the Colins’ were in good health and Elizabeth does not give her any reason to believe the contrary.
Seeing as though Elizabeth is of lower gentry than Lady Catherine and particularly Lady Catherine’s nephew Fitzwilliam Darcy, Lady Catherine takes it upon herself to impede any romantic interaction or even worse, a marriage engagement of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth.
As soon as Lady Catherine arrives, Elizabeth is cognizant of Lady Catherine’s discourteous demeanor and muses as to what could warrant her arrival. Once the two aforementioned women journey out into the garden it is not long until Lady Catherine begins to illustrate her distaste towards the Bennet family and further insists that Elizabeth not marry Darcy and if he proposes the idea, to deny him out front. It is at this moment that Elizabeth rises from not only being the main character of the novel but the heroine.
Elizabeth does this and Lady Catherine’s illusions of power are deflated in an abrupt yet seemingly polite way. The contrast between Elizabeth as the heroine and Lady Catherine is so delightful because Elizabeth is drawn with an extreme consciousness of her verisimilitude. Elizabeth is “presented as an undistorted portrait”(NCE 298).
Elizabeth’s untainted image is much different than the character drawn for Lady Catherine, since it is as if Lady Catherine seldom displays redeeming qualities and moreover has a tendency to lack rationality.
This is particularly important because, as Harding argues his text, Austen chooses to depict many of the other characters in the text as caricatures. That is, exaggerating one or more of their qualities for dramatic or comic effect.
Austen uses the aforementioned device exceptionally well and also “tells the story with an exquisite sense of its ridiculous side”(NCE 292). T
his is especially evident in the case of Lady Catherine’s visit, the differentiation between Lady Catherine’s rudeness to the unselfish hospitality of Mrs. Bennet. The narrator is very clear in explaining just how impolite Lady Catherine is and chooses to set one extreme next to the other, the other being the excessively polite Mrs. Bennet. The readers may find both the women to be just outside of the realm of verisimilitude and as a result, a source of comic relief.
Elizabeth acts as the only seemingly believable of the characters in the seems and because of this solidifies her role as the natural protagonist. Lady Catherine serves as the “ungracious”(NCE 229) antagonist as we the reader witness Elizabeth’s rise to a new dimension of character.
Elizabeth has developed from the witty and sociable girl at the onset of the novel into a self-respecting and unwavering woman. When Lady Catherine’s obstinate manner and self-serving cause for a visit challenge Elizabeth, she does not cower in the face of adversity. Instead, she returns the favor to the proud and prejudiced Lady Catherine and refuses to oblige to her wishes.
It is Lady Catherine’s refusal to reason and obstinate character that paints her as that much more of a caricature. However, this instance allows the evolution of an at first likable character to a character who instills a sense of hope in the reader.
In relation to the rest of the novel, this tête-à-tête serves as an inspiration for Elizabeth’s actions in the remaining chapters. One could argue that because of the obstacle that Lady Catherine presented Elizabeth is now only more desirous of Darcy. Elizabeth stands- idly by as the hurdles to her and Darcy’s relationship manifested, but after this last one she becomes proactive. Later, when Darcy expresses his affection once more, Elizabeth is only too happy to declare that his feelings are mutual.
In conclusion, it is because of the presence of exaggerated characters and also because of the light-hearted, bordering on ridiculous, nature of the scenes that Austen creates that allows the Elizabeth to rise quickly as the heroine of the novel.
In addition, Elizabeth’s contrast to the majority of the other character’s in the novel furthers her movement in to the affection of the reader and only contributes to the readers amusement of the trials the other character’s face.
Austen’s characterization of the cast in the novel make is quite simple for the reader to root mainly for Elizabeth because her character, through it’s undistorted representation, is received as the most real, and thereby easiest to sympathize with.

A theory is an interrelated, coherent set of ideas that helps to explain and to make predictions.
· What are the qualities of a good theory?
Internally consistent, falsifiable, supported by data
· Describe Freud's 3 structures of personality.
Id-subconscious, animalistic drives; ego-demands of reality, rational component; superego-conscious, true moral center
· What is Freud's 5 stages of psychosexual development?
The oral stage, anal stage, phallic stage, latent stage, genital stage
· What happens if we do not complete a stage of Freud’s theory?
If we do not complete a stage, we can become fixated at that stage
· What are Piaget's 4 stages of his Cognitive Development Theory?
Sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operations
· What are the main ideas behind Vygotsky's socio-cultural cognitive theory?
o Children actively construct their knowledge
o Emphasizes developmental analysis, the role of language, and social relations
o Cognitive development is shaped by the sociocultural context in which it occurs and grows out of children’s interactions with members of their culture.
· What are Erikson’s 8 stages of psychosocial development?
Trust vs. Mistrust, Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt, Initiative vs. Guilt, Industry vs. Inferiority, Identity vs. identity confusion, Intimacy vs. isolation, generativity vs. stagnation, integrity vs. despair
· How do the theories vary on issues of passivity/activity,
universality/contextuality, and continuity/discontinuity and nature/nurture?
Frued- people have passive role; depends on context: id and social demands come into conflict (ex: early experiences within the family); discontinuity- people start and stop stages at different times; emphasized nature over nurture
Piaget- constructivism: children actively construct new understandings of the world based on their experiences; all children go through same development; continuity;
Vygotsky- children actively construct their knowledge; cognitive development not the same universally, it varies across social and historical contexts
Erikson- people are active in their development
· What are the components of conditioning?
· How does classical conditioning differ from operant conditioning?
Classical conditioning- a stimulus that initially no effect on the individual comes to elicit a response through its association with a stimulus that already elicits the response
Operant conditioning- a learner’s behavior becomes either more or less probable depending on the consequences it produces
· What are the differences between Piaget’s Pre-operational, concrete operational and formal operational stages?
Pre-operational- (2-7) capacity for symbolic thought but not yet capable of logical problem solving
Concrete operational- (7-11) use trial-and-error approach to problem solving and do well on problems that involve thinking about concrete objects
Formal operational stages- (11-12 and older) able to think more abstractly and hypothetically
· What are Assimilation and Accommodation?
Assimilation is incorporating new info into our existing knowledge, while accommodation is adapting one’s existing knowledge to new information. Examples;
· What are the epigenetic theory and the ethological theory of development?
Epigenetic- once a path has been started upon it is harder to change course.
Ethological- our behavior is evolutionary inspired, and the human species ha evolved to reinforce certain behaviors
What’s Bandura’s reciprocal determinism idea? How does this interact with contextual systems?
Human development occurs through a continuous reciprocal interaction among the person, his or her behavior, and his or her environment. People choose, build, and change their environments.
· What where Bronfenbrenner’s contributions to the study of development?
Systems perspective on development: the individual is embedded in and interacts with four environmental systems.
· Can you expand Vygotsky’s theory?
Each culture provides its members with certain tools of thought. The ways in which people in a particular culture approach and solve problems are passed from generation to generation through oral and written communication. Culture shapes thought. Children are social beings who develop their minds through their interactions with parents, teachers, and other knowledgeable members of their culture.
· Can you expand on the Zone of Proximal development?
It is the difference between what a learner can do without help and what he or she can do with help of a skilled other/
· In what ways is development multidimensional? (examples, etc.)
· How do we know which type of theory to use?
You don’t have to choose one theory and reject others. Because different theories often highlight different aspects of development, one may be more relevant to a particular issue or to a particular age group than another.
· What are some examples of qualitative /cross sectional / longitudinal designs ?
Qualitative- Do you get mad? Why?, Cross sectional- A group of 10, 13, 16, and 19 year olds to study adolescence, Longitudinal- measure person’s vocabulary at 2, 3, and 4.
Methods
· What are the key differences between experimental and correlational design?
Experimental design: allows us to address issues of causality, independent variables are manipulated, random assignment with control groups and experimental groups
Correlational design: correlation does not equal causation,
· What are the key aspects of experimental design?
Manipulation of variables, random assignment, experimental control
· What would be a good example of a case study?
Studying people with schizophrenia
· What are the pros and cons of each of the observation methods (naturalistic, structured, etc.)?
Naturalistic
Pro: the only technique that can reveal what children or adults do in everyday life
Cons: some behaviors occur too infrequently and unexpectedly to be observed in this manner, difficult to pinpoint the causes of the behavior or any developmental trends because many events are usually happening at the same time, presence of observer can sometimes make people behave differently than they otherwise would
Structured
Pro: permits the study of behaviors rarely observable in natural settings
Con: conclusions may not generalize to behavior in natural settings
· Why do ethics need to taken into consideration when conducting an experiment? Give an example of an experiment that is now considered unethical
To protect research participants from physical or psychological harm
Unethical study- study by Hubbard and colleagues (2002) in which 8-year olds were deliberately provoked to become angry after witnessing another child cheat them and win a board game unfairly
· What are the different pros and cons of different research methods?
Cross-sectional designs compare age groups but confound age effects and cohort effects. Longitudinal designs describe age change but confound age effects and time of measurement effects
· What are iatrogenic effects (definition, examples)
· What are the differences and advantages/disadvantages of longitudinal, cross sectional and cross sequential designs.
· What is the difference between correlation and causation? How do we estimate correlations?
· What is a heritability estimate?
The proportion of all the variability in the trait within a large sample of people that can be linked to genetic differences among those individuals.
· Within a situation, how much of a chance does an offspring have of getting a dominant or recessive gene from their parents?
such as "spineless Gutless Wonder..."
Dominant- 100%, recessive- 25%
· What are the differences between dominant and recessive genes?
· How do we draw a Punnet square?
· What are the three types of genotype environment interactions and how do they vary?
Passive- children receive genotypes correlated with their environment
Active- Individuals seek or create environments correlated with their genetic proclivity
Evocative- Individuals are reacted to on the basis of their genetic propensities.
· What are behavioral genetics focused on?
The study of individual differences
· What are contributions make individuals different from each other?
· What is the difference between a genotype and a phenotype?
Genotype is the combination of one’s genes, while phenotype is the observed trait of interest.
· What effect can interactions with the environment have on someone's
genotype?
The environment can either cause the genetic potentials to be realized or stifled
· What are genetic potentials? (ex: IQ)
· What are some X-linked inheritances?
· Can we go over Polygenic inheritance again?
Multiple gene pairs interacting with the environment lead to a phenotype
· What are the 3 contributors to individual differences?
Heritability/genes, shared environment, non shared environment
· Concordance and reaction ranges of genes.
Pre-natal development
· What 2 tests are given to identify at-risk infants? Describe them.
Apgar test- it assesses health at 1 and 5 minutes after birth. It evaluates infants’ heart rate, respiratory effort, muscle tone, body color, and reflex irritability.
Brazelton neonatal exam- performed within 24-36 hours after birth to evaluate neurological development, reflexes, and reactions to people.
· What is the difference between a mutation and a teratogen?
A mutation is a change in the structure or arrangement of one or more genes that produces a new phenotype, while a teratogen is any disease, drug, or other environmental agent that can harm a developing fetus.
· What is important about the Fetal Period?
During the fetal period, limbs, bone structures, and the brain develop.
· What are the three stages of pregnancy and how do they differ?
The Germinal Period- fertilization occurs, single-celled zygote begins to divide, an inner cell mass forms
The Embryonic Period- rate of cell differentiation intensifies, support systems for the cells form, organs appear (look more human)
The Fetal Period- limbs, bone structures, and brain develop
· What specifics stages in fetal development are most affected by teratogens? And what effects do specific teratogens have?
Specific stages: during organogenesis in the embryonic period (3-8 prenatal week). Specific teratogens do not udually cause a specific birth defect.
· How are teratogens introduced to the prenatal environment?
Numerous teratogens exist, thus almost every fetus is exposed to at least some.
· What are the cell layers of the embryo and what do they do?
Endoderm- inner layer
Ectoderm- outer layer
Mesoderm-
· How does the placenta keep the blood types of a mother and baby from mixing?
The placental barrier allows the oxygen and nutrients to pass through, but it prevents the large blood cells of embryo and mother from mingling.

Character Assassination
thomas bannach and gregory v johnson bragged that it dosn't matter what U say about anyone.. so long as U get away with it..
dean tripp said that thomas bannach "really did not" have the character to be a manager.. and that he was dishonest and deceite full with he worked for him.
" />
II. The Penalty For Character Assassination. One of the ways we understand the severity of an offence is by the penalty imposed for the transgression. By including character assassination in the ten commandments, God put it on a par with murder, adultery and stealing. God gave a specific and a general penalty for character assassination.
1. The specific penalty is to be equal to the charge a malicious witness makes in a court of law. "If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a man of a crime, the two men involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time. The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against his brother, then do to him as he intended to do to his brother. You must purge the evil from among you." (Deuteronomy 19:1619 NIV)
If the penalty for charge you brought against me was a three year jail sentence, if I was found to be innocent, then you would spend the three years in jail. If we did that today, it would put an end to frivolous lawsuits.
2. The general penalty is loss of fellowship with God. The writer of Psalm 15 asks God the following question. "LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? (Psalm 15:1) Dwelling is God's presence, enjoying the blessing of God was important to King David.
God identifies for King David those who will enjoy the God's blessing. "He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman." (Ps 15:13 NIV) If you insist on slandering the character of other people you'll lose the goodness and love that comes from dwelling in God's presence.
Character Assassination-Bloodless Murder
This will give you a clear understanding of the evil of character assassination and why God imposes still penalties on those who engage in this cowardly act.
This is the last day that our airways will be filled with election lies, half-truths, scare tactics-character assassination. I have a special dislike for one ad that says, "A vote for Mr. Politician will be a vote to dismantle health care, education and all things Canadian." You can hear desperation in some of the adds. Many of these ads are a direct violation of the ninth commandment which says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour." (Exodus. 20:16)
When was the last time that you were slandered? Can you remember when someone spread a vicious lie about you? Do you remember how powerless you felt? Can you recall the anger that welled up with-in you, that urge to get even. Do you remember how you wanted to buy a full page ad in the local paper that would proclaim you innocence. Do you remember how some friends believed the lie and turned their backs on you.
Perhaps you can recollect how the lie was wrapped in a half-truth. Your enemy took part of a sentence that you spoke and put a twist on it that you never intended it to have. That twist cast you in a negative light. Welcome to the world of bloodless murder.
This morning my message will give you a clear understanding of what constitutes character assassination. Second, we'll look at the penalties God imposes for character assassination. Third, a positive word about how we break the destructive habit of character assassination.
I. Character Assassination Is The Cold Blooded Destruction Of Our Most Valuable Personal Asset You character is one of your most prized possession. Character is what defines you as a person. There was a day when a dollar bill was worth a certain amount of gold. For every dollar that was printed, there was gold to give value to the printed money.
Character is the gold that backs up the paper money which is personality, which is your public image. I can develop a positive mental attitude and read books on human and public relations which will lubricate the processes of human interaction. But that doesn't mean that I have character.
Character grows like rings on a tree, slowly and deliberately. Character is what I am when no one is looking. It is what I think about in the still darkness of the night. Character is the most important ingredient I can bring to any relationship. Character is the gold of my life. When you mis-represent and slander me, you are stealing my gold.
Sometimes in the public eye that gold is never replaced. I know a married Christian man whom I'll call Mike. About eight years ago Mike seduced a Christian woman. I also heard that Mike's wife accused him of sexually molesting his children.
Every time I see Mike in the store, I think about his adultery and about the molesting accusation against him. When I see him I say to myself, "There goes the man whose wife reportedly accused him of molesting his little children." There are some things we never forget. Only Heaven will erase them from our minds. Character assassination does lasting, long-term damage.
I am told that Mike confessed his adultery and is a healed person. The other accusation is still out there floating around. Let's assume that it's not true. Every time I see that man I think of that accusation and I look at him and say to myself, "Could Mike have done what was alleged against him?" Because of that accusation I would never leave young children alone with Mike. An accusation has robbed Mike of gold in his character account.
Many of you have shared with me details of your past. You are likely asking yourself, "Does Eugene always think of me in light of what I confessed to him?"
When you confess something, you freely acknowledge what you were. Paul said to the Ephesian believers, "For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light" (Ephesians 5:8 NIV)
Paul is saying, "Our relationship is based on the new reality of what we are today in Jesus Christ. The old reality has passed away, the new reality is what counts. I take delight in your new reality and praise God for the new character He is building in your lives.
Character assassination is the act of painting a false picture of a person and presenting it as that person's reality. God declares that to be an abominable act of cowardice. It was an abuse of free speech that angered God.
One practice God hated was when rich people would falsely accuse poor people and gain an unjust conviction against them. One day Sonia discovered $20.00 missing from her purse. Through a process of elimination, we narrowed the list of suspects to a young boy whom I'll call Jerry.
The more we thought about the reasons why Jerry was guilty, the more we convinced ourselves that Jerry was the culprit. One day Sonia said to me, "When Jerry looked at me today he sure looked guilty." I responded, "Yea, I noticed Jerry slinking around me. Guilt was oozing from him.
Guess what! We found the $20.00. Jerry was innocent, yet we were positive of his guilt. In Jesus' day Jerry may have been a poor man and we may have been rich people. Suppose someone had robbed and killed our friend and in our minds it seemed like Jerry was the killer.
With our influence we could get him convicted and in our minds we could justify skipping the due process of law. God says, "You shall not lie about another person, do not bring false accusations against him, do not deny him justice." "Do not deny justice to your poor people in their lawsuits. Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person to death, for I will not acquit the guilty." (Exodus 23:67 NIV) Charging a person on speculation is character assassination.
We are also guilty of character assassination when we plant seeds of doubt about a person's integrity. We do this by asking questions with a malicious inflection. "Are you sure that's what he meant?" "Where do you think he was between 7:00 and 11:00?" "I'm not saying he did it, but if I know him he sure is capable of doing it." "If you were the Mayor and your friend bid on the project, why of course you would give your friend the inside track." "If he wasn't power hungry, why would he run for the office?" "If you knew what I knew" Or, "Not her, she's the last person that I would trust."
We assassinate character by putting our own interpretation on the words the another person speaks. Sometimes speakers choose poor illustrations and in-accurate word pictures. A critic could take those sloppy expressions and broadcast across North America a charge of heresy against the speaker. One phone call to the speaker would clarify what he meant. Words and phrases mean different things to different people.
It's sad that church people are just as guilty of character assassination as unchurched people. Paul said to the Corinthians, "I fear that there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, factions, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder." (2 Corinthians 12:20)

Pathological, a Compulsive, a Chronic, and a Habitual Liar?
the lessons i taught at thermotron
What is the Difference Between a Pathological, a Compulsive, a Chronic, and a Habitual Liar?
Pathological Liar
A pathological liar is usually defined as someone who lies incessantly to get their way and does so with little concern for others. Pathological lying is often viewed as coping mechanism developed in early childhood and it is often associated with some other type of mental health disorder. A pathological liar is often goal-oriented (i.e., lying is focused - it is done to get one's way). Pathological liars have little regard or respect for the rights and feelings of others. A pathological liar often comes across as being manipulative, cunning and self-centered.
Compulsive Liar
A compulsive liar is defined as someone who lies out of habit. Lying is their normal and reflexive way of responding to questions. Compulsive liars bend the truth about everything, large and small. For a compulsive liar, telling the truth is very awkward and uncomfortable while lying feels right. Compulsive lying is usually thought to develop in early childhood, due to being placed in an environment where lying was necessary. For the most part, compulsive liars are not overly manipulative and cunning (see, Pathological Liar), rather they simply lie out of habit - an automatic response which is hard to break and one that takes its toll on a relationship (see, how to cope with a compulsive liar).
The terms Habitual Liar and Chronic Liar are often used to refer to a Compulsive Liar.

satan worship at thermotron
Gee Dan Okeefe is a hard guy to worship and work 4
“As you can see there are no elements of devil worship in the Church of Satan. Such practices are looked upon as being Christian heresies. Believing in the Christian world-view of God vs. the Devil and choosing to side with the Prince of Darkness is pointless to the Satanist as neither exists. [...] To the Satanist, he is his own God. Satan is a symbol of Man living as his prideful, carnal nature dictates. Some Satanists extend this symbol to encompass the evolutionary "force" of entropy that permeates all of nature and provides the drive for survival and propagation inherent in all living things. To the Satanist, Satan is not a conscious entity to be worshipped, rather it is a name for the reservoir of power inside each human to be tapped at will.”
"The Satanic Scriptures" by Peter Gilmore1
Devil Worshipping
These are people who claim to worship The Devil, Lucifer, the Anti-God, The Dark Lord or Satan or whoever. Often they talk of their preferred deity in the same way that Christians talk of their God, i.e., worship Him or die. Frequently Devil Worshippers require that you Sell your soul to the devil in order to "be one of them".
If someone says that are in contact with an entity such as these then you're in ill company. It is Devil Worshipping that make the noises which most people assume is in league with the Church Of Satan - IT IS NOT. Devil Worshippers are immature, unstable and nothing to do with us. There are some more mature groups of people on the internet such as "The Temple of Set" and The "First Church Of Satan" who claim to worship a dark, evil, lord, but even these more established groups do not represent the view of the Church of Satan.
Most the time these people cannot verify or decide who they are actually worshipping. They claim to love the AntiChrist. They are of course admiring characters from The Bible, or more accurately, they are using characters from a variety of religions. It is very rare that they also accept the other deities and myths of the religions that they take the Devil to have originated from.
If these people believe in the Bible it is clear that Satan/The Devil is not a God, but a fallen angel. How can you worship a mere angel, an inferior? As they do not believe in the Bible it must be a different Devil that they worship, but anyone can make up a God and pretend to worship it! Many Devil Worshippers are young (immature?) and know nothing of the Bible so do not realize just how silly they are!
Actively worshipping a being that is defined as bringing you ill fate is not something a fully functioning mind does!
Some of these twisted individuals call themselves Satanists when really they are just scapegoating the religious concept of Satan in order to quell their guilt, or to justify their actions. "Satan made me do it!" - but it has been proven not to hold up in court. Some people _do_ believe it, for the same reason this is called guilt avoidance and is psychologically unhealthy but generally the people involved outgrow this - it is just unfortunate that they often do not care for distinguishing Satanism from Devil Worship.

EVIL AT THERMOTRON
How to Discern Evil People at thermotron
http://stargods.org/EvilPeople.htm
when i worked at thermotron– human resourse– called me up and asked me what i wanted
for my 5 year award– ( a ball point pen- or a ??)
well –– Gee i think thomas Bannach is gong to drum — out everyone– out !
so as not to leave any one left who might talk “bad” about him-
– and as Virginia Norris said– said — well if they are going to “harass you and drum– you out — then
i’ m quiting this company– as the sales and service support person–
so she was replaced with the 5th person — that left because
Advertisements
REPORT THIS AD
thomas bannach the holland michigan Pervert and Thermotron slander achieved his objective again–
and Chad the next Field Sales Engineer– said– hey how do you get customers to — make time to go to lunch with you??
and Gregoy V Johnson– the lyer and thief– said — well who can say ??-
so now that northern california thermotron office — is closed– because
thomas bannach libled and slandered the employee’s
and promoted robbery –thief– embezzlement–
– becasuse he was leaving the sinking ship– and going to ENSECO chamber co- with Randy Bunn–
where he would lie and steal, and embezzle — for a few monthes more — a
and then ENSECO would go to his house — on the week end and fire him-
– i guess he should have called up Thomas Bannach at Thermotron– or maybe Roger Cannady and associates– as he was their inner circle who was a false wittness and defrauded his co workers–
In the course of life we come across and meet many people. Some we form friendships with and others we avoid. We often keep the people that make us feel good as friends, and the ones that make us feel bad we keep our distance. The problem is that evil people know full well how to make us feel good and how to manipulate us so that they can gain power and control over us.
There are two types of people we need to avoid. The aggressive and the passive aggressive types. The aggressive types use anger to control you. You go along in order to get along. They always get their way because we don't want them to explode on you and ruin the day. But then we get so angry and frustrated because we never stand up for ourselves. Because of this a wife may allow herself to be totally controlled and manipulated by the husband while blaiming herself for all the domestic problems. "Oh if I just had not dropped the dish Frank would not of flipped. I am so stupid!" The husband then uses this by saying, "You should be thankfull I married you because no one else would have you!" Men that beat their wives while convincing them that they disserved it and they had better smarten up. The solution would be for the wife to muster up her courage and confront her husband so that they can he can then have a bad day. From that point on they will avoid the wife will be in control. But if the husband is violent and physically abusive, then this solution could be very dangerous and volatile. I think most professionals would advise the woman to pack up and leave for a shelter.
The passive aggressive types do not confront you or explode with anger. What they do is to subtly push your buttons until you explode and yell. At this point they play the victim and may cry. They say things like, "Why are you so angry." They manipulate us into thinking it is our fault so that we feel guilty. Once we feel guilty, then they use this to control us.
Below is a list of the "Top Ten" evil people of all time followed by a list of the "Top Ten" good people of all time -- sorted in order of evilness and goodness. Please add your votes. Who would you like to see added to the list? What alterations would you make to the list or the ordering? Do the scales of good and evil balance? If I may have permission to quote you in a manuscript, please give permission in your note to me.
Why is it easier to think of evil examples than good ones? Is it much easier to do something big and bad than it is to do something big and good?
Developing this list was not an easy task due to the complexity of human personalities and the fact that goodness and evilness depend on the perspective of the time. (For example, perhaps many Americans consider dropping the bomb on Hiroshima "good" whereas many Japanese consider it "evil.") On the evilness scale, I gave additional weight to those people who actually enjoyed and personally participated in the utter horror they produced. When compiling the good list, I also considered the number of people killed by the followers of the "good" person during the person's life time.
For both the good and evil list, I also asked myself the question, "With whom would I least like to be in a room, and with whom would I most like to be in a room?"
If you are not happy with this list, drop me a line, because the list changes in response to suggestions from my readers. If you had scales and put Stalin's massacres on the left side, what could you put on the right-hand side to balance it? Extreme kindness and attempts to alleviate suffering? Curing cancer? Ending world hunger? Charity? Elevating the thinking of humankind with respect to human rights? Perhaps the very best people don't seek publicity for their good deeds; these are the unknown heroes who work tirelessly with the poor and the sick. When considering religions leaders, do we need to consider possible negative results that evolved, such as fundamentalist groups that suppress women, or the concept of Jihad, or holy war? If the Inquisition arose out of Christianity, need we consider this in assessments we make?
1. Tomas de (bannash)Torquemada (pictured here) - Born in Spain in 1420, his name is synonymous with the Christian Inquisition's horror, religious bigotry, and cruel fanaticism. He was a fan of various forms of torture including foot roasting, use of the garrucha, and suffocation. He was made Grand Inquisitor by Pope Sixtus IV. Popes and kings alike praised his tireless efforts. The number of burnings at the stake during Torquemada's tenure has been estimated at about 2,000. Torquemada's hatred of Jews influenced Ferdinand and Isabella to expel all Jews who had not embraced Christianity.
H. H. Holmes - built a hundred-room mansion complete with gas chambers, trap doors, acid vats, lime pits, fake walls and secret entrances. During the 1893 World's Fair he rented rooms to visitors. He then killed most of his lodgers and continued his insurance fraud scheme. He also lured women to his "torture castle" with the promise of marriage. Instead, he would force them to sign over their savings, then throw them down an elevator shaft and gas them to death. In the basement of the castle he dismembered and skinned his prey and experimented with their corpses. He killed over 200 people.

spinless guttless wonder, thomas bannach
SPINEless GUTless WONdeR
spinless gutless wonder
I guess i was luckly that many people were up front when i was writing my thesis.. and broke the "code of silence.."
i was surprised to find the "Clock" man (bill arvo)..out of detroit from thermotron..an old thermotron sales man is NOT hard to come by. i guess he forgot he is a sales man and as Mike Barrs said
"U know when a sales man is lying"
because his lips are moving.
but i found it puzzling that he didn't know that most of his co-workers who i worked with didn't follow his policy.. as he was obviously in the DARK
Hil syspesma and other's referred to Tom Bannish as the "Spineless Gutless Wonder"
this is becsues he is a Passave Agressive Back stabbing Slander..
Dean tripp told me that re really didn't have the "Character to be a manager"
(and theat he was a embezzler and liar and back stabber when he worked for HIM!)
I pretty much figured that no matter what he said it was a lie..
the people i worked with under bannish mocked their co-workers behind their back for trying to live an honest life, or trying to do a good job.
(they said it didn't matter what you did to anyone so long as u got away with it and blamed it on some one else)
gregory v johnson spent 3 years stealing and robbing the customer and he robbed everything.. out of the office he worked out of. As hil sysbesma said he had tom bannish "around his little finger"
he was a neighborhood bugler and thief before working at mongumory wards and thermotron....
he robbed about 50,000 over the 3 year period at thermotron..
i asked roger cannary, tom bannish, and dan okeefe and even dave waterfield what thermotron budged for thief and embezzlement.
they got mad at me .. and sent me nasty memo's.
and said i thought i was better them them.. because i deceite robbery and embezzlement was wrong ..(also lying)
hil sysbesmahe said he wasn't as big of thief as hil sysbesma, and hil said he wasn't as big of thief as some guy called "newville" who went into sales.. just like hil.!
and dan okeefe filed a 1.2 million dollar law suit against hil when he quit.. because he wasn't allowed to work in the industry.. etc..
Dave durham the electrican called me "squeeky" and he considered it wrong for some one to expose his embezzling.. dick alverson ( texas office) told me it was common knowledge that he and john tenbrikn.. would lie abooout their co workers.. but smile to their faces..
(but was quick to put a blade in someone back)
It was pretty horriable working with such a group of back stabbers,liers,theves and embezzelers..decevers (enough to last a life time)
As Bill Wybenga in accounting once told me it is easy to get people to lie for you at thermotron.
I didn't know it was a planned business profile.. funny none of the business classes .. used that .. model..
Interesting that They the holland church goers, the Dutch and Christian reformed teach the it is the "Broad Path that leads to eternal life with Jesus not the Narrow Path"
As Tom Bannish sent out christmas cards every year the said "Jesus died for my sins"
But Jesus said "whoever does what i have commaned are my deciples"
so tom bannish like many at thermotron are going to Hell.. no big loss.
When the satan deciple told tom bannish that if he "would follow his values and worship him" (he could be in management !!) tom bannish behavior demenstrated his decision!!
It's ok to be currupt!!
tom bannish said he has more respect for people who are liars and who do "it " the hard way.
So happy new new year to u tooo

Hey this is Pam, Bill's daughter. Who are you so I can tell my dad you say hi. He does still work at Thermotron in cost accounting and is a manager. He says he wishes he wasn't still there but he's a lifer. Did you see our pictures on my myspace? There's one of Bill and I and one with my mom Cheri and my brother Tim in Julian and my wedding slide show. You should check it out.

thermoland Ya tom bannash at thermotron liked to refer that his co-workers were GAY,,.. like he could tell the difference.. this is like jim roulofs was known for walking around with a good grip on his ankles.. curt the NEW sales engineer.. bo bjarno's replacement tells that story..the function of the national sales manager at thermotron .. as demenstrated by dickless mckenny, and jim roulfos.. was to lie to the customer.. and conspire to defraud your co-worker..
