Fair enough. I had the same idea too. It's more tranquil in here, don't you think?
My oh my babe. Just like the Turkish poster Tarkanian, you keep adding new heavy merchandise to my vocab pannier. That (the one before this quote in the welcome thread) was a hard post to read and understand for me with a lot of dictionarial help -thank Goodness to internet. But it goes by the territory of having a nick like that I guess.
This LaRouche family you speak highly of. Why are you putting them in a spot of the Mormons you say you are rooted in? Do you think today's Mormon community is a lesser one to the one that had lived in the foundation times and were more idealistic in character? Also I figured that Larouche Jr is a Friends member. Do you have any connection to them ideally? Your remarks sometimes strike me as if you are an extremely bored materialist with a lot of critique to cast upon your environment while havin' fun with it, but I think you are pretty religious, but couldn't tell you believe in the Mormon religion or just a Christian scholar searching for his idealistic notions of belief and practice.
I also would like to say that those Statist perps you speak of are the real ones that have the ability of ignoring the existence and functioning of the state and have their way with any aspect of it compared to Marxists, who seem to be a lot more addicted to discipline, a forced myth of a virtue that is probably as old as state itself.
yah, I have wondered where you're from. I used to think you were LA solid liberal, like outta UCLA or USC or that liberal arts college in Clairmont like AP or something. . . . Then when you suggested I'd be surprised I put it to Shanghai. Lol.
youngsters going heavy on the books get snared by ideological/historical visions of an older generation of writers quite often. Kinda hard to have a toy and not play it hard. Ideas are like toys in our minds. We work with what we have, maybe too much.
Having a few cows to study has changed my whole world view.
A cow does not have ideology, or vested intellectual stakes in some theory or another of international politics. They sit in the sun, swat flies with their tails, get a big drink of water once or twice in a day, and eat everything in sight. What a life. They "own" nothing, but you have to have the means to enforce your way if you want to push them around.
More and more, the power-conscious among us envision world schema wherein we are their cattle. I just think we should reject all that nonsense, and somehow ease them on down the road by unseating them from government positions, and bankrupting their businesses by peaceful non-participation in their products. Lol. Can you imagine not using a car? Or raising your own tomatos in your front yard?
Well, at least we should reject the preachments of mainstream media retailers and state-run educational systems. And somewhere, get ourselves a spot in the sun, near some water we can call our own, and do a garden.
