Just because people do not agree with your aesthetic or because someone’s opinion is that a style is played out, it does not make them an idiot. We all don’t worship the same sacred cows. –Judy Gex
"In America attendance at church is much higher, and it convulses the body politic because, unable to fulfill it's sacral function, the church has become simply a lobbying force for fundamentalist social policy...I think we should level [churches] to the ground and start over." - Terence McKenna

The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theatre.

I owe some of you emails and other replies..... give me a few days to get my head out of coding in my web store and I will send love. Meanwhile, please do not subject your pets, no matter how cute you think they are, to costuming for Samhain/Halloween. They do not like it and will poop in your shoes.

For the first three people whom respond and repost this challenge, I will send you something. It might be something I've made, or something cool from my hidden stash, it might be a mixed cd or a rubber duck, or a book I think you will enjoy...or something else that is lovely... Whatever it is, I promise I will get it to you in 30 days or less. The only thing YOU need do in order to participate is to be one of the first 3 to reply AND post this very same thing... just cause it's fun to give people stuff... Pay it forward......
... and the LNT principle was adopted, my homies and I were already "burners."

The newspaper article above was from my senior year and the "picnic" it mentions was in actuality a 13 keg free-for-all-non-school-sanctioned Senior Day party organized by myself and 3 of my girlfriends. Hundreds of people showed up including the local bikers who used the oval drive around the center of the park as a short course flat track for racing. The girls and I collected the money for the kegs, bought the kegs, got the permits for the use of the property and spent the night so we could clean the park the next day. Clean it we did..... all of our trash and any trash we could find left before our party. This was not the only "event" I participated in either in an organizational manner or as an attendee.... there were the X-mas Tree burning parties and the Loggerhead events. Loggerhead was an extravaganza - pyrotechnics, stages & bands, hallucinogens and costumes because it was always in October. And all of these were 1982 or earlier.... and for the most part, all of the 10 Principles of BM could have been applied to them. Ah, those were the days.... anyway, I thought the little blurb was kinda funny.....
...and let him know he was off by just a few years. Or maybe it's just becoming apparent now.

tinyurl.com/yqwdst Dragonfly or Insect Spy? Scientists at Work on Robobugs. By Rick Weiss Washington Post Staff Writer Tuesday, October 9, 2007; Page A03 Vanessa Alarcon saw them while working at an antiwar rally in Lafayette Square last month. "I heard someone say, 'Oh my god, look at those,' " the college senior from New York recalled. "I look up and I'm like, 'What the hell is that?' They looked kind of like dragonflies or little helicopters. But I mean, those are not insects." Out in the crowd, Bernard Crane saw them, too. "I'd never seen anything like it in my life," the Washington lawyer said. "They were large for dragonflies. I thought, 'Is that mechanical, or is that alive?' " That is just one of the questions hovering over a handful of similar sightings at political events in Washington and New York. Some suspect the insectlike drones are high-tech surveillance tools, perhaps deployed by the Department of Homeland Security. x-x-x-x-x-x "Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac." "All the war-propaganda, all the screaming and lies and hatred, comes invariably from people who are not fighting." - George Orwell What's your favorite Orwellian quote?
I was cleaning out my bookmark folder and ran across something I bookmarked a while back and promptly forgot about. It's relevant in so many ways, not just for me personally, but people/things/situations I see all around me. It's worth a read.....

www.coping.org/growth/accept.htm Accepting personal responsibility includes: * Acknowledging that you are solely responsible for the choices in your life. * Accepting that you are responsible for what you choose to feel or think. * Accepting that you choose the direction for your life. * Accepting that you cannot blame others for the choices you have made. * Tearing down the mask of defense or rationale for why others are responsible for who you are, what has happened to you, and what you are bound to become. * The rational belief that you are responsible for determining who your are, and how your choices affect your life. * Pointing the finger of responsibility back to yourself and away from others when you are discussing the consequences of your actions. * Realizing that you determine your feelings about any events or actions addressed to you, no matter how negative they seem. * Recognizing that you are your best cheerleader; it is not reasonable or healthy for you to depend on others to make you feel good about yourself. * Recognizing that as you enter adulthood and maturity, you determine how your self-esteem will develop. * Not feeling sorry for the ``bum deal'' you have been handed but taking hold of your life and giving it direction and reason. * Letting go of your sense of over responsibility for others. * Protecting and nurturing your health and emotional well being. * Taking preventive health oriented steps of structuring your life with time management, stress management, confronting fears, and burnout prevention. * Taking an honest inventory of your strengths, abilities, talents, virtues, and positive points. * Developing positive, self-affirming, self-talk scripts to enhance your personal development and growth. * Letting go of blame and anger toward those in your past who did the best they could, given the limitations of their knowledge, background, and awareness. * Working out anger, hostility, pessimism, and depression over past hurts, pains, abuse, mistreatment, and misdirection. Breathe...... Grow.... and Grow UP.
