This one is random, so no topic will last long.
We evolve also by developing interests and dreams in one particular way. What we are as a species is not some divergent path of ancestry, but merely we are connected by some root genome which flits creation sparks over thousands of years. The social constructions of human creation, by virtue of the very language that creates it, aren't always what we think they are. That's why it is fundamentally important to question everything especially ourselves.
My squash is too hot to eat, but the goat cheese smells good.
We have to modify all our economics, like home economics. The stock traders learned long ago that nutrition is more valuable than boxed food, so it's time we realized that buying that cheeseburgers at McDonald's generates more waste, more industrial scale pollution, puts jobs into the hands of people who have no rewarding, fulfilling, or build-able skills, and worst of all, the two key ideas: 1. it would cost you less to make it at home. Far less. and 2. you receive many times the actual nutrition from the stuff you make at home, especially if you buy from a particular kind of grocery store. The worse worse part is that anyone buying the same or similar products as McDonald's are just as bad. That's why hippies hate Walmart. Too bad we are so far from buying locally made goods or driving horse-drawn pimp-carriages.
Carey just said she'd love a pimp-carriage, but I was serious enough when I asked her, that she gave me the slow nod uh-huh eyes.
I kept searching for a good model or example of what kind of political party should be out there. What I eventually ran across was something that I can only feel many other people have run across when searching for solutions to archetypal problems. I stumbled on a set of instructions Ghandi gave to his followers, on how to achieve victory calmly diligently and surely, ignoring whatever odds everyone thought they had. I'll be rewriting them and adding them to the upcoming party website. If enough people like me start political parties, then pretty soon Two or Three parties will seem so two thousand and late (to quote the ... uh, what's their name?)
I'm not anything near a prude, but I'm a little tired of the United Statesian obsession with fighting and fucking.
The Buddy Dog has been very industrious in pulling me along on cross country skis lately. I'm hoping to go out again tonight. The trail to Goose Lake is far more deserted at night.
Once upon a time banks were just places to keep extra money in between times of needing to spend it on something.
To make the American dream live, the baby-boomers carried on the legacy of their parents and made more and more money available for borrowing, so that people who used to work for ten years to save enough money to build their house with the help of family and neighbors now could just work for thirty years and live in the house the whole time. They do wind up paying two to three times the cost of the house, but in the meantime at least they're not throwing away money in rent every month. I can attest to this with the time I signed a paper saying that if I made the scheduled payments, I'd pay over four-hundred some odd thousand for our two-hundred and some odd house. And, I got a good deal at a good rate and paid the realtors enough money to lay a foundation. I wish the baby boomers had been more thrifty and encouraged my to learn shop in high school so I could build a house in my spare time. I'd borrow a trailer until it was finished, and I'd only have to work ten or fifteen years to buy a nice house free and clear. But, no, then nobody could "flip and grow rich," so the capitalists wouldn't be hot on that.
I think geometry was also developed to cut gem stones originally, though I've never heard anybody talk about it. Conspiracy??
If I had a goat in the backyard, then I wouldn't have to take the horse in the front yard to Fred Meyer once a week for milk.
In terms of politics, we are inheritors of the Age of Reason, and we're on the burgeoning beginnings of the Age of Information. It's high time we acted like it and quit blathering on like we have no idea what to do about this entirely fixable mess. If we work together in trust, we can trust our togetherness will work.
