my raven buddies visit most days
just had my blog deleted by the mafias in the library...will try again
my comments had to do with the irony of the outrage at the dirty dealings of the russian military with their indesciminant bombings...the u s a bombed cambodia and laos as well as vietnam in the 1960's the allied forces bombed dresden germany for no apparent reason and destroyed a beautiful city...the russians have suffered for centuries at the hands of their government and are suffering now...the russian culture has produced some of the best literature and music ever...the russians are not to blame...the russian leadership is to blame...the difference between the u s a and russia is that there were hundreds of thousands of american citizens in the street protesting the war in vietnam...in russia they are being jailed...it is a time in the history of the human species that it must be recognized that the wars are going to result in the inevitable deaths of millions due to extreme climatic conditions. those responsible for the wars must be eliminated from the decision making process by whatever means needed..you might wonder what course of action mr putin is following...NICCOLO MACHIAVELLI (1469-1527) a man who wrote "The Prince" about how to rule and win...basically he said that one must learn how not to be good...he said the republic must be aggressive and expansionist...he also said that soldiers who are fighting for their homeland and not for profit are more reliable and fearsome...in short anything goes to increase ones power and land size...so putins doing exactly the right thing...for the 13th century! in todays world there are other considerations...so we must consider whether we have evolved as a species and can we survive...I recommend a great lecture i downloaded from the internet called "Endless Forms Most Beautiful." about how evolution works... it is about 43 minutes long and was made by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and there is a part about the Rock Pocket Mouse which lives in the desert USA and evolved forms that were black when they were all sandy colored for millions of years...very good explanations...
also i would like to discuss some DVDs..."The Tudors" first season was very good...and "London Spy" with 5 episodes was a farce...the camera work was good (queer eyes for the queer guys) but the characters had the personalities of a damp towel...and not a nice big fluffy towel but a thin scratchy towel...these folks try to convince us that the MI6 is all knowing all powerful and omnivorous..they are not'..."Inception" with leonardo di caprio was real head breaker and good..."Boardwalk Empire"3rd season was outstanding...go Nucky! and "Broken Swords" was so bizarre as to need comment...this is a make-up artist dream come true...all dozen characters are hold up in a barn and are covered with dirt and blood and have strange weapons...the bows are like high school archery class bows and could not hurt a mouse...it is raining outside but it never occurs to them to stick their heads out and wash their face...but wait...they need a damp towel...so maybe the london spies can get work with them!
