read a good letter
a few days ago
it was published in a magazine
part of the letter was this-

"One of the questions emerging from
the Iraq debacle must be this one;
Why did liberation at gunpoint yield
 results that differed so radically from
what the wars advocates had expected?
Or, to sharpen the point, How did preventative
 was undertaken by ostensibly the strongest
military in history produce a cataclysm?
Not one of your colleagues from the Bush
 Administration possesses the honesty,
courage and wit to answer these questions"
from "a letter to Paul Wolfowitz"
by andrew j bacevich author of
"The new American militarism:
 how Americans are seduced by war"

i listen to the radio every day
until the news of war just brings me down

the swallows look beautiful as they swoop
and dive at the bugs in the garden
very nice

"Scientists proposed that male lions skill at
ambushing prey in dense vegetation
was previously unknown because
of scientists fear
of being ambushed by male lions
in dense vegetation."

NEWS FLASH-NEWS FLASH

yesterday morning the small dairy town or tillamook was
shocked when the mayor and seven city council members were
taken hostage by several thousand holstein cows
at dawn yesterday thousands of cows bashed their way out
of their milking barns and proceeded to the town hall
where a meeting was taking place of the mayor and ten
city council members
the cows are demanding that their demands be met
or the hostages will be gored to within an inch of their lives
the demands
which include three milkings a day
an increase in their grain ration
better quality hay
kosher grain due to their hebrew heritage
no working on saturday
and that the town be renamed
tillamoo
also they insisted that the male calves be
put up for adoption to single child
chinese families
secretary of state kerry said he is in negotiation
with the chinese
the fbi hostage negotiation team said the situation
may become critical as mrs lawrence is lactose
intolerant and no food or drink has been allowed in
a lifetime citizen and dairy farmer

"...an economy is truly healthy only
when it's people know how to make
and do things that others will pay them
a decent amount for. Jobs, in other words,
 are not the cause of a healthy economy;
they are the by-product. And thats another
thing most national polititians know but
will never say."   Adam Davidson

"Man is still a super-aged-savage,...

                                        Black masked racer (Coluber constrictor)

have to limit my news intake at times
seems like the world is going to hell
in a hand-basket as they say
but the wilderness seems to be
much less wild and more predictable
than the world of civilized mankind

i listened with horror to the storey
about the captive women being found
in anthropological terms it might be
described as
marriage by capture
been going on for several thousand years
of course it has become increasingly rare
in modern societies
the thought of keeping persons against
their will seems particularly horrid in our
relatively free society
anyhow the next thought for me was
what should happen to the culprit
i am for public execution by firing squad
administered by the friends and family of the victim
this probably will not happen
but it would bring closure for many
like myself who feel that society has
not administered to the psychological needs
of the victimized community
then i thought what can be done to prevent
this kind of thing from happening again
and although i am not for a
big brother society
perhaps a big sister society would be helpful
i think if we put micro-chips in the bodies
of our pets and valuable livestock to
get them back when they are lost or stolen
a chip in the body of a loved one might be
a workable solution
and as nano-electronics becomes more
developed the implants will be less and less
obtrusive and more effective

anyhow my popularity is not
going to suffer from my views
as is is still hovering around
zero
a nice round number

interested in himself." E. A. Hooton

"Tyrant wrongs and rebel vengeance..."

                                         by pablo p

love to go to the art museum
lots of stimulation
art snobs to make fun of
such as that

hypocrisy has been on my mind lately
my own and other peoples
that guy who is dead and they can not
find a place to put his body
what is that about
those followers of j c might consider
the message he taught is
forgiveness

then i was thinking about a couple of
real good music people
springsteen and dylan
springsteen is supposed to be a
blue collar kind of guy
according to his biographer
the only job he ever had
except music
was painting his aunts house
when he was 16 years old
and dylan never pick a grape
or a peach or as near as i can
tell did nothing like woodie did
but still they made some good music

i came across this good definition

hysteropotmoi- those who have been thought dead
due to long absence while at war or traveling
in distant lands, and who return to their homes
but are not able to enter them through the
front door but only through an opening in the roof.

this is an ancient roman custom
makes you wonder about that
civilization

i see where a lot of folks are bowing
down to the warren
he is after all a money maker for
a lot of people
but you know he should use some
of that smarts to figure out a way to
get some money into the hands of those
workers who work at the businesses he
invests in and cannot afford to invest themselves
because they do not make enough money
think about that one warren when you sit
down to that double burger you love so much

i was listening to cyndi lauper on the
radio in an interview
she is a Sicilian american feminist musician
sort of
she seems like she was interested in the truth
more than the money
and one of the less hypocritical people in the business
she said
" Once you're on the bottom you can do
what you want. What are they going to do
put more nails in your coffin!"
i found that very inspiring
thanks

i have a problem
i may as well write about it here
according to the blog report
i am the only one who reads
this blog anyhow
this is sort of an outlet for
my angst and such
anyhow for some peculiar reason
this person has taken to
purloining my writing
i am sure that with a little effort
this person can come up with a
nice little blog of her own making

or maybe not

"Tyrant wrongs and rebel vengeance
will continue their vicious rounds,
 until our minds are freed from their
 emotional adherence to conventions,
 traditions, superstitious, pious slogans,
 mob delusions, high toned demagogues,
and the psycho-neurotic leaders of our
moron civilization."     Theodore Schroder

well i got to go
bottoms up

"Heretics have been hated from the beginning..."

example of bad behavior at the campground

i am not popular
not popular at all these days
spent way too much time thinking and
saying negative things about powerful
people

heard ms. linda blimes on c-span
she is a
sort of an accountant
and has the wardrobe to prove it
anyhow she says according to her best
estimates the american involvement in
iraq and afghanistan will end up costing
the government between 4 and 6 trillion dollars

"another such victory and we are undone."
 Pyrrus  king of epirus and general

we spend about 2 billion a year on national parks

i saw some words in the law dictionary

bucket shop- when a person or place pretends to
buy and sell stocks but does not do so.

i was thinking that is somewhat similar to what
the legislatures seem to do
they go to work but never seem to actually
pass any legislation
very odd

some other interesting words

cameralistics- the science of finance or public revenue
how to get it and how to spend it.

mobil vulgus- the fickle mob

cyricbryce- breaking into a church

i heard a radio report about
 a bordello in perth
australia which charges 400 buck per hour
and some of the girls make 200 thousand
bucks a year and they only get half of the $400
do the math

i have the belief that men
male persons should have complete
reproductive freedom
insofar as no woman can have any of any mans
genetic material for reproductive purposes
without the expressed written consent of the
owner of said genetic material
under penalty of law
that old system of
you get to keep any sperm you can capture
was good enough for the first million years
but it is simply outdated
no means no

decollatio= beheading

defossion= being buried alive

off the north east coast of canada there is
a one billion barrel oil field which is being developed
it will take 40 years to finish the field off
it will satisfy 12 days worth of global oil consumption

i seem to have incurred the wrath of some
of the power brokers
some of those would be
the marine corps- they seem to have re-assembled as
a mafia whose primary interests revolve around
embezzling and financial crimes- semper fungus
i think the best way to stop them
and i have given this some thought
call in the marines
takes a marine to stop a marine
always faithful
thanks

let us be honest now
if you cant say you belong to

group
you may not get any help at all

but as a heretic
that is what you can expect
get used to it
is what i have been told


"Heretics have been hated from the beginning
 of recorded time; they have been ostracized,
 exiled, tortured, maimed and butchered;
but it has genersally roved impossible to
them; and when it has not, the society that
succeeded has always declined."

"Illegitimati non corborundum..."

                                         stolen from the new yorker magazine

had a lot to think about lately
what with the drop in gold prices
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
sorry
just felt like having a laugh

went to work friday night
then on saturday night
then it rained and we went home early
then i showed up at the job on sunday
and
no one was there
so i went back to my motel room
spent half of what i made
but it was interesting to be in a room
for 30 hours
with news on half of the television stations

i was under close observation
on the job and in my motel room
to see if i was going to commit
criminal acts
i ate two bags of microwave popcorn
but that was legal
i think

aspersions- the making of a calumnious report
blacks legal dictionary

someone said i am a xenophobe recently
that is a lie
i am not at all afraid of xenon
not the gas or the warrior princess
not afraid of argon either
for that matter
not the gas or the movie
i am however very afraid of florine
i do have an opinion on immigration
i personally like to be around a lot of immigrants from
other places because i get to hear how they
compare this country to their country
i have learned a great deal from persons
who came from countries with repressive
regimes and how they view the direction
this country is headed
i think some of them keep one bag packed
ready to head for the border if things
go sour in a hurry
i have never met a french person who
thinks this country fares favorably to
france though

i also took the effort to look up
militia in the law dictionary

militia-" the body of citizens in a state,
 enrolled for discipline as a military force,
but  not engaged in actual service except
in emergencies, as distinguished from regular
troops or a standing army."
\
then i looked up the second amendment
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the
security of a free state, the right of the people to
keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

except for crazy people of course
that is not in the amendment
 but i am sure
they meant crazy people are not allowed
to have guns

mark twain said that if every person had a gun
handy every time they wanted one
none of use would escape prison
that sounds about right to me

so i was wondering how come the gun
owners lobby does not make the
gun owners be well regulated or disciplined
or anything else for that matter
if you can beg borrow or steal a gun
or the money to buy one with
you are allowed to have a gun
this seems absurd to me
i had lots of guns over the years
i used to shoot the heads off dragonflies
and minnows and if i could kill a snake
with my BB gun i felt like i had saved
the neighborhood from a menace
i think there are still people who
think they are going to be heros
if they can just shoot somebody
dead
they are not well regulated or disciplined
they are just looking to enlarge their
social status by killing what they perceive
to be a menace
when often it is themselves who are
the menace
they are vigilante delusionals

anyhow i think if a person wants a gun
they should be qualified by a teacher
on a shooting range for that gun
and the more deadly that weapon is
the more they have to earn the qualifications

considering that more active duty
military combat personnel
who were in afganistan and iraq
have committed suicide than were killed in
combat i don't think having been in the military
is necessarily a qualification
for having a gun
 obviously there will be disagreement

 i think the nra has ignored their responsibility
and the reason  they were formed
 which was to
train people to shoot and be safe with guns

i wish i had been weapons trained when i was a kid
instead of when i was an adult
and i wish even more i had been around
some competent naturalist who would have
instilled in me more desire to learn about the
wildlife and be less inspire to shoot at it
but i watched american sportsman and other
shows on the weekends and saw kudu and rhinos
being shot for sport
too bad for me
too bad for the wildlife
