"Dogmatic jargon learnt by heart..."

                                     grasshopper eating my guitar

so I didn't march anywhere lately
now that I think about it
I have never marched at any time
I have however picked up a lot of garbage
perhaps folks could pick up garbage
while they march
I sort of believe that the climate marchers
will end up like the
occupy wall street movement
no one will  come up with a competitive
idea...but if they were picking up garbage
they might get some good ideas
and even if they don't get any good ideas
some of the garbage would get picked up

so on the positive side I read this in a magazine recently
"...Rising temperatures and improving technologies
mean longer growing seasons, higher crop yield and
wider swaths of arable land in much of Russia. Everyone
is moving north..." I think this was from an "Economist" mag.

this is from a 2014 Science magazine about the history of
humans as predators.
"...persistent hominin carnivory...evidence at Kanjera South in
West Kenya, on the shores of lake Victoria which dating from
about 2 million years ago...eating of game animals..."led to brain
growth and invention of technology..."

so this would indicate that the invention of the device on which you
are reading this was a direct result of hominins eating meat...not grasshoppers
of course some of the bad soft wear may have been invented by grasshopper
eaters....

"Dogmatic jargon learnt by heart,
Trite sentences, hard terms of art,
To vulgar ears seemed so profound,
They fancied learning in the sound."
