haiku liberation

  2. I feel intense sadness while looking at the details of the photo.

  3. Seconded. What’s the rat doing there?

    Nice shot, however, with the bars in front of the cage. A Fatherland Security rat in the foreground would have been perfect: “Nothing to squeak here, move along.”

    Good News Dept: the local farmer’s market is open. Lunch was baked asparagus with olive oil, s&p, and garlic… trying to get my diet out of the gutter.

  4. My morning insanity check indicated everything is still insane. Let’s have a warm round of applause for the barbarians from Tel Aviv and Washington DC for their continued degeneration.

  5. Hi joe, Zen, Mickey, and all…

    Yes,the photo is sad, but so much like humans live their lives.  It’s all about the pecking order. My friend, AJ, who is an expert in agriculture, says its all about testosterone and the need to dominate. Is that true? Maybe AJ is right. I never felt a need to dominate. I feel a need to nurture. But then again, there are also female bullies.

  6. Hello RMJ, If some people think about pecking orders, that’s one more human limitation to transcend. However, we can’t go beyond if we’re marching in place in quick-sand like nice soldiers.

  7. Joe...I agree. The evil of ‘pecking orders’ influences everything. Pecking orders in the USA are institutionalized and that type of prejudice is never addressed - such as the prejudice against those who are not ‘papered’. Often employment is based on college degrees, instead of work history and ability. Just one of many examples of unjust pecking orders.

  8. RMJ, america is driven by complete degenerates, criminals and we need a college degree to be one of them.

    Another statement about our worthless education system that people around here praise and never ask why. It appears americans become dumber as they become more frightened? The authorities love this predictability.

  9. Education = teaching individuals to think = Good

    Indoctrination = what the system has become = Bad

    Guess what we have now…

    Interesting side-note...the daoists (the original anarchists and anti-materialists) majored in self-reliance, original thought, and individuality - which they took as having as little to do with being part of the system as possible - and from them come many profound understandings. All from simply paying attention to the world around (and within).

    captcha sez “gives”, while the majority simply take…
