The White House Organic Garden: Helpful or Hypocrisy?

March 21st, 2009

As I was gathering information for my recent post Our Contaminated World: Making Nature Illegal, I ran across and bookmarked this website, The Who Farm, which hoped to encourage the White House to plan an organic garden.

Imagine my surprise to see Michelle Obama actually breaking ground the other day, to the [...]

Our Contaminated World: The Pharmaceutical Darkside

February 28th, 2009

This is the final of three articles.

Last but certainly not least in this series is the long list of questionable practices undertaken by our pharmaceutical industry, and supported by our government. Now don’t get me wrong – certainly many medicines have been proven to be [...]

The Oligarchy and Globalization: A Wolf Changes Clothes

February 5th, 2009

From Wikipedia: “Oligarchy (Greek Ὀλιγαρχία, Oligarkhía) is a form of government where political power effectively rests with a small elite segment of society distinguished by royalty, wealth, family, military powers or occult spiritual hegemony. The word oligarchy is from the Greek words for “few” (ὀλίγος olígos) and “rule” (ἀρχή arkhē). Such states [...]

The Political Charade, Act III: The King is Dead! Long Live the King!

January 20th, 2009

A year ago, still festering under GW and his underhanded tactics, I pleaded, “I’ll frankly be pleased enough if there even IS an election in November, as long as it’s followed by an actual swearing-in come January.” Indeed, I am pleased to see this. The new president is a lot easier [...]

Planes, waves, earthquakes and alien life

January 15th, 2009

Everyone’s still amazed and relieved after the “miraculous, heroic” crash landing of US Airways flight 1549 in the Hudson river today. All 155 people on board are safe. Already a few interesting comments, one from Collaborate with Fate on the astrological resonance to 9/11, and some cool synchs from Thuther over [...]

Damn the Doom

January 4th, 2009

On December 26, the world started rumbling its discontent a little louder. Swarms of earthquakes began under Yellowstone, which continued all week to the consternation of scientists. The largest quake so far, a 3.9, happened on the 27th, the day Israel began air assaults against Gaza. A week later, a [...]

My Friend Michael

December 28th, 2008

It’s not easy being human sometimes. This mortal coil tends to recoil, it seems, to certain stimuli, at least at first, before the spirit has a chance to step in and reprogram the being.

A very good friend of mine, his name is Michael, has taught me so much about the [...]

Merry Christmas

December 24th, 2008

A very merry Christmas to everyone out there.

No matter what your belief system, nothing wrong with setting aside time for family, love and joy.

If your situation is other than that, I bless you with a portion of mine.

A Balanced Perspective

December 12th, 2008

Recently I’ve had the pleasure to be around a relatively newly opened mind, an intelligent and curious spirit, searching the Way along the common quest towards Truth.

It’s one of several we have around here, and the conversations out on the lanai can get quite diverse, let me tell you.

Thanksgiving, Mumbai Style

November 27th, 2008

While I realize that Thanksgiving, along with many of our mandated holidays, may make some of us feel overwhelmed with the programming, it is still an opportunity to take a moment to express our gratitude for what blessings we have. No matter how bad things seem to be, we can usually find [...]
