The evolution of the carrot

-

The carrot thinks its the king of all things until the rabbit comes around.

The rabbit thinks its king until the snake comes along, the snake thinks its king until the roadrunner comes along, the roadrunner thinks its king until the coyote comes along, the coyote is king until the cougar comes around, the cougar is king until the man with the gun comes along, the man with the gun thinks he's king until the men with planes, bombs, tanks come along, and the men with the armies think they're kings until the earth gives the land back to the carrots.

Then we start all over again.

2022-2024 With Not Much In-between

  Everyone is looking ahead to the mid-term elections to save us from the Monster who gave us the apprentice. It should be debatable that if anybody who voted for Trump because he was a celebrity should have their citizenship discontinued for a period of time, maybe a special place devoid of tv and digital news. Democracy will not be the squeeky clean savior of us all, especially the type of unrepresentative democracy which is currently in the State of America. It is merely a word secured by the luxuriant gift trappings (ribbons and bows) of political philosophers who give us the impression that the people, whoever they are, the belief that we have a say in what their government does. It belies two truths. One, that the majority is those who care to vote (voice their opinion) and not those who neither choose not to voice their opinions nor simply do not care enough to vote (understanding possibly that it doesn’t matter, the choice fix is in). Secondly, maybe the most important of...

 Technology The age of the gizmo. That starts in the dirt of many nations where children, men, and women scrounge for cobalt, titanium, gold, diamonds and other precious resources which will be the beginnings of the  The gizmo connected to the whatchamacallit, inserted into the thingamachig, which when complete, goes to peoria to be hooked up to the gadget, which came from a factory in hoboken, welded to the dogeared sheet, attached via remote control ai to a chip, manufactured in silicon valley, configured and detoxified by a technician in reno nevada, driven to las vegas, stored until further use. Heres to all the men and women so far detached from what they do, congratulations, you have just built a weapon which will eventually be used to kill, maim, and destroy human flesh or maybe the man or woman who made the gizmo. The cogs in the machine that keep industry rolling along. Cog immigrants. If i'm an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, why do i want to see millions of peopl...

Lessor of Two Evils is NOT a choice anyone should have to make

-
Two state solution Well, it seems whoever we got, the threat remains the same. Progressive people say we're living in dangerous times. Even regular people say it. Why? It appears that gazans are living in dangerous times but not us. We have the choice and no matter how many chose the two-state solution over the last seventy years no one here did enough to make that possible. It's always been dangerous times there. It's always been dangerous times, believing in the two-state solution is like believing in santa claus, easter bunny, or werewolves. And if anyone still believes in it, they are truly absurdist. There will be no freedom from pain in gaza. This election will demonstrate the weakness of the great democratic dream. We are a third-rate country. We just have big guns, just like the militias, terrorists, cartels, police that control the people in the third world with threats, murder, and civil war. Remember, no matter who wins, the racist a...

It seems like it took forever. Finally laying to rest the notion I had something to do to the conversation. I couldn't imagine the final chapter, the one where everybody died or only the bad ones, glorifying good over and over again. This is the story of how that happened. It was 2025. My life seemed over enough to be able to translate it into some sort of meaning. The hostages were being released, thus finally giving clarity to evil. I never believed in evil until now, I mean not overnight but like it being captured in a cage I could understand. I did want to see the horrors gone, for them who suffered them, certainly not for me, where they resided inside like a bullet laced with yellow phosphorus that just kept boring through flesh and bone but would never leave. That's when I started asking everyone, I knew who had lived, is it worth it? If god is judge jury executioner, i can accept that, there's nothing i can do about it except it, wait my turn but why...

The language

-
The language In the modern world, and to me that means the world as formed from the rise of western european and us into dominance. Does a man who commits rape get to define "rape?". Does a nation get to define genocide? Does a dictator get to define freedom? If not, then why is there no certain definitions. The israel hamas war has once again demonstrated that outside the actual physical atrocity of war is the war of words. Language is all we have as humans to use in explaining our actions, and those explanations are weighed against what we describe as the truth, and full circle jerk fashion, that truth is the judicious dissection of the language compared to what happened according to witnesses and what they have to say about it. Truth no longer comes from the reliance of a persons own conscience. The saying that there are no guilty people in prison or there is no violence in war outside of self defense. America committed atrocities and genocide in america, vietnam...

Book Review: Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche

-
  The story is about a young, intelligent Nigerian woman who goes to America to go to school more so because America is where young, intelligent Nigerians go. She goes with all the earnestness of a new immigrant, but not a typical immigrant we are used to portraying in our media. She is one of millions from all over the globe who come on student visas, brought up in their own country in whatever middle class standard is prevalent, and are considering staying in America and becoming professionals but, once reality sets in, have a harder time deciding America is not for them. The book is the journey of Ifemelu, a Nigerian woman and details the reasons why young people in Nigeria, specifically, and worldwide, generally, see opportunity in America as a viable opportunity to live better lives. She has a lover in Nigeria who must stay when she leaves but the couple see themselves together, possibly in America, after she gets her education. A sexual assault not long after she arr...

Okay, I read the twenty point peace plan produced by the trump screen writers. Despite its origins, I recognized some truths in it that set examples of why it should happen but will ultimately be a disaster and why if it doesn't, it will also be a disaster. First of all, there are truths exposed. It seems that prior to Oct 7th, 2023, Hamas was taking the stance of defending their Palestinian heritage from further military encroachment by Israel, which had been taking place since the Mandate. On Oct 7th, the waters were clearly muddied by the absence of what really happened, by both the invaders and the always prepared Israeli propaganda response. Meanwhile, Hamas retreated back to its tunnels and a defensive posture, making the attack seem as if it was merely an exercise in military strategy with no real significant purpose in furthering Palestinian prospects for statehood, if there is even such a thing. It only enraged the Zionists full time desire to complete their greater Is...

Notes and Quotes 1-From Arendt to Anything Goes

  Here's one thing wrong with America. I'm listening to Ed of MSNBC rant about what we all need to do in order to progress. The Senate just voted for the Keystone Pipeline. Recent reports showing improvement in the economy, more jobs, and how we're coming out of the recession (depression) we've been in for six years. My question is, how can anyone expect any progress when we accept a norm of disaster, war, economic collapse and six, ten, twenty years later we accept their version of progress Best of all will be those who know only one thing for certain: that whatever else happens, as long as we live we shall have to live together with ourselves. It's those who actually decide to not participate, even when attempts to force them, who are the ones who would not be able to live with themselves if they were complicit (by even remaining passive) in murder. Much more reliable are the doubters and skeptics, not because skepticism and doubting is good or wholesome...
