  • the problem is fear mongering by the likes of Fox

    And that’s how you keep rednecks from red states feeling superior… through outright lying.

    Back in the Cold War days, Albania was the poorest and most undernourished country in all of Europe, yet the population believed they were the richest.
    The method for spreading this type of lie has been adopted and polished by the right-wing propaganda machine.

    I see what you’re saying. But what if we tweak things a little:
    Math is real, it is numbers that are invented, the discreet packets in a ruler, a measuring stick. Like an imaginary line in a grid, such as the tropics and equator.













  • Meditation is better advice. By which I mean doing the exercises to approach grounding oneself in the present, sensing and feeling things from that perspective, instead of the YESTERDAY and TOMORROW clashing storms inside our minds.
    But one can’t just start meditating one day - “from zero to sixty”, so to speak - and expect immediate results. It’s a discipline, like brushing your teeth every day.


  • You know… I’ve never really thought about it that way, but my three favorites may be the same most watched.
    2001: A Space Odyssey
    The Empire Strikes Back
    Miller’s Crossing

    Sometimes I’ll watch Miller’s Crossing with English subtitles/captions, just to take in all that insane and masterful dialogue, it truly is as if William Shakespeare had written a 1920s mob tragicomedy.

    You ain’t got a license to kill bookies and today I ain’t sellin’. So take your flunky and dangle!
