I am sick. So very, very sick. Sick and fucking tired of putting up with the shit sandwiches we get fed from our “leaders” about the state of our world. Today – May 31, 2011 – I found this quotation from an aricle with this title: G-8 leaders agree on need for better int’l nuclear [...]

“Who am I mommy?!” “Who AM I?!” A friend’s child anxiously asked this critical question at age four. It’s an excellent question and today at age fourteen I know he ponders the same thing. Who am I is one of the most fabulous deciphering tools in existence and one which begs for use early and [...]

“Okay! Jesus, FINE! Just settle down and I’ll get the manager. Okay…?” The tall sideways woman in front of me was upset. Really upset. She was doing the Damn Dissatisfied dance and putting every friggin move she could muster into it. It mattered not that the minimum wage earner she was nattering at was only [...]

By our absence we will be known. Inevitably in each of our lives there comes a time when doing absolutely nothing carries great meaning. Of course, surviving and thriving while employing this purposeful inaction engenders enough risk to keep the average Joe dancing like a puppet until Massa gives the nod that they can stop [...]

You stink. Okay, we both do. How do I know? Because we’ve got an app for that. Thanks to our maker’s awesome evolutionary influence we are veritably swamped with cool capabilities which allow us to not only sense invisible odors but also faintly see right through a herd of shysters sometimes a good distance away.

This major disaster is unprecedented and after two months running, the best minds that nuclear energy is able to muster cannot figure out how [...]

Say WHAT?! You watch that mouth mister! After hearing this warning a few times even a thick skulled kid like me got the point. Briefly it was: if they can see you they don’t want to hear you but when they DO want to hear from you they prefer it to be You Bet followed [...]

Apologee schmology. On their own, the value of most appeals for compassion today amount to nada. The unrepentant gibberish commonly offered up as apologies in modern times is usually comprised of crafty statements and guilt avoidance language carefully garnished with side steps from legal. And occasionally tears… But no matter where they are peddled or [...]

Hearing something when nothing is said is a wondrous talent. This is an important skill I am striving to develop. On the other hand, perceiving something different from that which is intended is fairly easy & normal. Lots of folks do it and most everyone lends an ear to this inclination sooner or later. Never-the-less, [...]

Generals die in bed. This is the title of a great Canadian book which illuminates grave flaws in our attempt to direct human behavior and ultimately history. Like the book’s author, Charles Yale Harrison, I wonder; by whom and where is it determined that our species requires rulers or the earth’s continents need conquering? No [...]
