My Belated Identification with Heracles (Hercules) of Ancient Greek Religion Fame

In recent weeks, I have finally acknowledged to myself that the one character from the religion of ancient Greece who is most like myself may well be Heracles (more commonly known today by his Roman name of Hercules).

Heracles's gargantuan feats in putting an end to rampant violence by various monsters of ancient Greece, helped to make the entire world safe for humanity.

My realization about my being more like Heracles (Hercules) than I had previously realized, has once again reminded me that I made the right choice during my youth in reading several books about ancient Greek religion. The religion of ancient Greece has proved to be very applicable to my own life of today.

My own life ever since May of 1987, in particular, has necessitated my pursuing a series of law-enforcement-minded feats, including through my filing of criminal-law complaints and, on occasion, civil-law legal complaints, that demanded Herculean effort and diligence on my part.

There is every hope that my efforts of the last 22-year period have helped to make the world safer for honorable and honest and conscientiously civil and law-abiding human beings.

I don't claim to have the bulging muscles of Hercules. However, I have noticed that I've got more muscles on my legs and thighs, for instance, than I had during my college days at The University of Texas at Austin.

One obvious point of contrast between myself and Hercules is that I myself will of course always pursue a consistently civil and law-abiding and straightforward method of combatting modern counterparts to the violent "monsters" of ancient Greece.

Another surprise to me in recent weeks has been my realization that the Sirens of ancient Greek religion have played a larger role in my own life than I would have ever expected.

The Sirens were the seductive female creatures of ancient Greek religion who sang incessantly to sailors on their ships. That continuous, relentless, non-stop noise pollution by the Sirens triggered insanity in many of those sailors and fatal shipwrecks for nearly all of those sailors.

Odysseus reportedly ordered the crew members of his ship to plug their ears with wax in order to avoid being led astray by the noise pollution "music" generated by the Sirens.

In my own life this summer, I received a signed medical statement from a first-rate ear, nose, and throat specialist, Dr. David Tobey of Austin, indicating that I have sustained a statistically significant permanent hearing loss and thereby incurred a cited "medical disability" to myself resulting from my involuntary exposure to noise pollution in Austin, Texas, on a continuous year-round and multi-year basis.

Dr. David Tobey helpfully assured me in person during my most recent medical appointment with him on April 21, 2009, that I myself did not authorize or cause or generate that noise pollution in the background, he stated.

I am very grateful to the nationally renowned Dr. David Tobey of Austin, Texas, for his very kind willingness to share his medical findings about me with any media company, any business owner or businessperson, any religious group, any educational institution, any government official based anywhere in the United States or in a foreign nation, any government agency (the Austin Police Department, the Travis County Sheriff's Office, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Travis County District Attorney's Office, the Travis County County Attorney's Office, the State Bar of Texas state agency, the Texas Commission on Environmental Qualty state agency, the Texas Department of State Health Services, or the Office of the Attorney General of Texas state agency, the United States Attorney's Office, or the Justice Department, for instance), or any government-owned institution (or any civic group or any individual, for that matter) that or who might ever at any time choose to contact Dr. Tobey about this matter at his "Austin Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic" along Angus Road in northwest Austin.

The office phone number for Dr. David Tobey's medical clinic is: (512) 346-5562. The mailing address for Dr. David Tobey's medical clinic is: Austin Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic, 11623 Angus Road, Suite 20, Austin, Texas, 78759.

Any and all phone calls or letters of inquiry about this very alarming matter for myself----and, I might add, ANY factual information that anyone is willing to volunteer to myself or to my very fine ENT medical specialist, Dr. Tobey, in regard to the alleged "source" of that baffling noise pollution in Austin, Texas---will be greatly appreciated.

As a metaphorical sailor these days, I am determined to not myself get "shipwrecked" by continous, year-round, and injurious noise pollution in Austin, Texas.
