AAA Resources For Information And Entertainment began as a concept in August 1997 when I wanted to keep track of links I used to research topics. I also decided to share my work with others by posting what I found.
After being exposed to the Internet, I was getting pretty tired of all the hype and promises of people claiming you would be wealthy just by having a connection. All those schemes to tempt people into one form or another of an MLM plan to pay to surf, listen to music, use a search engine... never panned out and most have gone out of business. Other big players talked a lot, but said very little in quality and they soon went under.
I wanted to stick around awhile, so I learned from those who failed. I strive to make interesting information available for free and share what I have with the world at large. I wanted to make this a comfortable spot for people to learn new things. Even if you disagree with my point of view, perhaps you will start to think about what you believe and why and want to research it more. I don't claim to be a know-it-all, but I like people and want to help.
The bottom line for ANY web site to stick around is to make money. It doesn't have to cost a lot of money to run a web site, but it does take its toll on your time and efforts, especially if your site is generated by constantly adding more information. So if you seem to be upset by a few banner ads, please keep in mind someone has to boot the expense of running this site. Please be kind and visit a sponsor or two.
My name is Judi Clarke-Copeland. I am a married mother of two children. We live in Nashville, TN which is one of the most beautiful parts of the US. We do eventually plan on moving to the United Kingdom.
I was born and raised in Chicago and went to Morgan Park High School, but moved to Colorado in my last year of high school at Smoky Hill HS and went to college in Pueblo at the University of Southern Colorado.
Some of my best friends in school will never be forgotten including - Andrea Smith, Hakeema and Fareed Shamsuddin, Paul Moulton, and Melanie Galay.
After dropping out of college, I have wandered about the US and Mexico before settling down. When I was younger, my parents would take us to Jamaica where most of my relatives live. We would also visit Canada.
I have been through hell and back in my life and have come out a stronger person. I was lucky to survive. I would like to use that source of wisdom to help others. I have met many lost souls on the way and can only hope they have survived their rough times. I know some of them did not make it.
I know the world is big and great even if I have only seen a small slice of it and would like to see some more. People everywhere want the same thing, love, respect, and to have their basic needs met. It is far too easy to fall into a trap to point out all the differences to wedge a big wall of separation and superiority. We are all different, but in every way that counts we are all the same.
And for the many who have tried to paint me into a corner about my political affiliations, let me clear up any misunderstandings once and for all. I am not a Democrat. I am not a Republican. I think both parties are lame. I lean towards Independent and Libertarian groups, although my social conscience makes me lean more liberally, I do understand the needs of big business. The government has way too much control over people and the people need to get it back in order for this to return to being a free country. The history of the US over the past 100 years points to an "every man for himself" mentality which is dangerous if we want to remain a united country.
Yes, I was against the war in Iraq [moot point now as it is over], but I was not against the notion of war itself - it has always been an issue of the execution of that war that was the problem for me. There was never enough diplomacy to sort out the problem before entering the war. Negotiating with Saddam was a lost cause, but the process should have been conducted with more allies and to reach the hearts of the Iraqi neighbors to get more help from them before entering into that fiasco. Yes, Democracy is a good thing, but whether the way the Democracy of Iraq will have been worth all those lives that were needlessly lost is another question. And I do mean "needlessly lost" because with a better execution plan fewer people could have been killed.
No, I do not believe George W Bush is an evil monster who orchestrated a conspiracy on the American people. He is a neo-con who is only interested in pleasing the ones who put him in office - to hell with everyone else! I do not like him as President, but I am sure he is a nice guy.
I love this country. I think it is full of great wonderful people. I think there are plenty of opportunities available for those who really try hard. I think this is still basically a free society, although there have been some elements in our country who would love, more than anything, to restrict the freedom to be different. However, no matter how much I love this country, I do not believe in wearing my flag on my sleeve. It may be a great country, but other countries are also great and have the same freedoms and standard of living as in the USA.
Despite my leaning toward the Libertarian movement, I still believe we need a National Health Care system and other safety nets for the poor. It is having these institutions around that can give those in need a hand no matter where they live. If we have a system that gives anyone with a little ambition a break when they need it, we create a safer and more profitable society.
As for matters of faith, I do not take any stock in the Judeo-Christian-Muslim path. I am not an atheist, but a spiritual agnostic and believer in the principles of UCPFUL. I am glad to know that I am not alone in my beliefs because there are others who have told me they felt the exact same things I teach.
As my political statements and spiritual beliefs have gotten me in trouble with sponsors and have received way too much hate mail, I have been forced into making big changes on this web site. If you are still interested in what I have to say, visit this web site where I don't hold back.
