More NeoCon radicalism

http://www.statesman.com/search/content/life/stories/books/03/30/0330bobbitt.html

Yet again, the psychopaths who would rule the world have distracted me from my studies in Arthurian Romance, etc. and compelled me to spend my meager book-acquisition-funds on Neoconservative Apologia...The better to refute, as well as understand the dangerous growth of Fascism in our once great nation. For that is what this is:Fascism. A union of Corporate and Government interests at the expense of all the rest of us. And this guy is a law proffessor, at UT, no less!!!
Rule by corporation has worked so well these past 8 years,after all... surely we can entrust these immortal fictions with our Natural Rights in order to save us from the scary terrists.....
Not!!!!!
What a pathetic fearful lot we have become.
I hafta go order this book, now, then stick my finger down my throat at the thought of contributing to this shill's retirement.I will report back when I've read it.

On Education...

Now that my Wife is almost done w/ college and will soon be gainfully employed (if the world,as we know it, doesn't go down the crapper...)... I'm exploring an online degree for myself.
I figger if I can't hardly walk and 'dislike' the general public, I can't be a Chef, anymore.It's time, perhaps, that I make myself employable.
It's an expression of hope for the World that I am even contemplating this. I detest institutions and I hold in little regard the opinions and requirements of our contemporary culture.
However, if things don't fall apart, I need something to do.

I'm thinking a double major in History and Theology, then a masters in Anthropology or Philosophy, then eventually some kind of Doctorate. The only job around here that even remotely apeals to me, aside from Hermit/Philosopher, is teaching History, Government/Economics at the highschool. The fella who does it now has been there forever and is one of the worst Right Wing nutjobs I have ever encountered. My tax $ are paying him to force Fox news on unsuspecting kids and pontificate on the Evil of Liberalism, the Triumph of Xianity, and How The Republicans Saved Civilisation. (!)
For me to replace him would be Poetic Justice in the extreme.


I'm not sure how much freedom I have in "building" a degree. Don't know how this works.Esp. above BA.
I'm interested in Civilisation and Mythology and how they're connected viewed through the lens of Philosophy.
So, I want to be a 'Doctor of...?"... what?
If I had $, time and mobility, the College of St. Thomas More, in Ft Worth, appeals to me. As does Oxford.
But, with 2 kids, no $, living in my enclave in the Wilderness, I have to settle for what's within reach.
We'll see.

I'm already in a FUNK, b/c of this javascript:sendarticle('sendEmailLink', 'Global Gridlock: How the US Military-Industrial Complex Seeks to Contain and Control the Earth and it%E2%80%99s Eco-System ');

if that didn'tt work, see lower post or global research


So I'm already in a funk and had a couple of guiness' ....and the StinkEye from my Wife....
doesn't matter... go read th article.

Serpents lick my eyes...

I'd rather THEY engage in an all out6 nuclear war....
If you run the theme in this article out to it's fruition, you get HellWorld.

Unending Uber-Fascism. Worst of all possible worlds....
and with no effective recourse~
Bring on peak everything, sooner, rather than later///
Collapse is the only thing I can see standing between us and the Terrible Darkness that would result from the fruition of plans loke this...
If there is a God, May He save us.

What a dystopian world they would create.And we do nothing.
The mere fact that they're thinking of such things is evidence enough that they no longer work for us.A worst case scenario, almost too horrible to contemplate. Could this be why the Terminator movies play repeatedly on basic cable?
Where does such will to power originate?Were they abused as children? Abandoned? Raised by wolves?
To concieve of and to actively work towards such a global controll system is bordering on non-human.
How would one fight such a regime? Hubris does carry it's own achilles heel, but I have not identified it.
The desire for such Godlike power should deeply offend evryone on the planet, especially those who call themselves Christians. Remember the Tower of Babylon? And this brought to the drawing board by 2 administrations , and using OUR money. We are to pay for our own inescapeable prison!
Hopefully the sleeping sheep will awake in time, ....
I'm not gonna hold my breath.

More anomalous behaviour.
I like to fish naked.Canoe naked. Garden naked. Hang out naked.
Luckily neighbors at the end of the road are not so observant...
I've never understood what the big deal was, in our society about nudity.To equate a state of undress exclusively with sex, or even perversion, is in itself perverse.It indicates just how sick and disconnected we are as a people.
When I could still walk purty good, I'd kayak down the river, buck naked, Stop to fly-fish, or maybe hike up a little side creek. There's nothing like being naked in the wilderness. Best meditation... Aware. Really a part of one's environment. To condemn such activity ... well, that just blows my mind.
One of the main, root problems with folks today is our disconnectedness from nature. This springs directly from monotheistic dualism; the idea that we are somehow separate, apart, from this world.
I know... there I go , raggin on religion....but refute, please.
From Augustine and Origen to Dobson and Fallwell, the 'flesh', the material, is viewed as separate and Evil.
Taken to it's (il-)logical extreme, this stance advocates destroying the only world we know, objectively, exists in order to make way for some (imaginary, un-proveable) "new heaven on earth".
Perhaps, if we could cast aside dogma and learn to think we would have no need of some new , improved heaven and could be satisfied with the one we have already been given.

Fish Naked!
