Natural
Natural If we are part of nature… and there’s no real reason to think otherwise,then, what is ‘natural’ and what is not? Isn’t the whole universe ‘natural’,evolved through the ‘laws’ of its existential nature? Then, intelligence and ‘artifice’ in all their formsare also part of nature, and natural. So, what is ‘natural’ and what is…

Old Commercials
Old Commercials The ubiquity of commercials (propaganda and its jingles) and their mental stickiness is troubling to me if I think too much about them. Here are a few moldy oldies that still knock around in the back of my mind… I haven’t mentioned which products they refer to. Anyone else remember any of these…

Seriously, What Do You Think Truth IS?
What is Truth? Intro Recently, I was challenged to write about “my Truth.” Considering the thousands of years we’ve been laboring over exactly what truth is, it seemed pretty much like a fool’s errand.

Still – Always Preposterous – Again
Considering all the partisan propaganda and just plain BS of our never-ending election cycle, I thought it was time to repost this… yet again… It always amazes me how most seem to fall for that old ruse, the lesser of two evils, as if there were only the two ‘corporate/doner-blessed’ choices, and no one that…

Summer’s Last Holiday
This is a repost from last year… because it still applies. We also need to reconize and encourage the recent remobilization of labor in this country and abroad. It’s the only chance we have against the ruling class and their lickspittles… less an actual, French-style revolution… Summer’s Last Holiday used to be the summerseason’s first…

Achievement vs Antisipation
Anticipation and Achievement Let’s be honest. The highs of anticipation and expectation are the best anyone will get out of life, not to mention death. No experience, event, action, or consequence ever lives up to its expectation, especially on the positive side, not work or love, nor physical, mental, or spiritual pleasures of any kind.…
