i would like to make a
confession
as i am writing this the stock market
is taking a dive
billions lost
and i feel good about it
like the republican
candidate for the highest
office in the land
i too think that there
are some people
who are seeking financial
gain where none
should be had
having worked for minimal
wages for most of my life
i have not had the opportunity to invest
in any businesses except by sweat
equity and the only return that
i got for my investment is
sweaty clothes
i've mostly built
pyramids
i think
i heard yesterday that a major
bulldozer company is losing
business
that means that perhaps
trees are getting safer
perhaps
some people believe that
all of the planet is a natural
resource
to be exploited
and that any constraints on that
exploitation is a constraint
on their
liberty
"Liscense they mean,
when they cry liberty."
Milton
the same company makes
ship engines
and
i have spoken with ships
engineers who insist
that they make the
best engines on the water
expensive
but superior
and
american
i invested my time today
in bicycle
and guitar
and nature
i reaped
profit
immediately
my attempt to post this
blog from the state library
was thwarted
but i have
persevered
the snake in the picture was my
desert camping neighbor
for several
days
every morning resting in the same
spot until the sun warmed her
enough that she could
wander away to do her
daily chores
and returning
every night
"Money does all things for reward-
Some are pious and honest as long
as they thrive upon it, but if the devil
himself gives better wages,
they soon change their party."
Seneca
got to go
