"Gentlemen" hold honor in contempt, a pitiful vestige of oblige, noblesse except when it can be used as cover inducing others to subscribe as "gentlemen" hide from its obligations (That's why they invented corporations.) paying other men to protect them from being done to as they have done to their brothers, and to advance a dishonorable agenda, their insatiable lust for naked profit and to ...

Written on the eve of Obama's inauguration in 2009...published here to demonstrate how far we haven't traveled...   The nature of his administration was evident as he introduced his transition team and potential members of his cabinet. The individuals selected are fixtures of the economic aristocracy and the Washington Consensus establishment. His Transitional Economic Advisory Board ...

The Tao of Conscience Right... or wrong. Too much or too little. Too near or too far. The Gift is decision. The ability to choose, come to one's own conclusions, rather than unthinking obeisance to authoritarian institutions. An intrinsic ethics structured deep into the mind reveals the direction in which integrity lies. Danger follows sheep who refuse responsibility for action, and wolves who see god in their own satisfaction. Other ...

Medical studies funded by drug companies have only lately "discovered" the onset of cancer, diabetes and autism is "not caused" by agents outside the body, but brought on by your own susceptible, read "defective' DNA. They're a passive creation with no visible perpetration rather like saying 93,000 women were raped in 2005 in the USA. Of course without mentioning the 93,000 men and their evil intentions who actually did the ...

"Black Pearls" is my ode to being tired of being poisoned.  You just can't escape that tainted scent of profit in the air, the water and the food.  Asking people if they know they're being poisoned is like asking if a fish knows the water is wet.  Corporations are, in effect, allowed ...

Feigned indignation is the only kind left where decency is a threat to the raison d'etre of profit, an impediment, bred out of the masses as much as possible. And a well-established lust for flesh plus professional perception management will make cannibalism as acceptable as neoconservativism, especially when the product is processed. The objection it's actually humans will be subject to a ...

The indocrination of children into the culture of corporate capitalism begins even before they enter school, when their own parents, in effect, bind the feet of their morality by having them join in the guilty and tasty pleasures of murder. The ABCs of Atrocity sow the seeds of future perversity. Animals are the means we ...

Worship of Eostre Poetry throws a seductive cloak over me as I drive, nearly forcing me to the side of the road to describe cloud canoes purple as a bruise, rowing through gift tissue mist hovering over a virgin birch seduced by the scent of raw, thawing earth into donning her bridal veil and peignoir edged with peeping, limey leaflings the words of birds warbling a wedding march as ...

Causes and effects. Some of the terrible things that are happening in the world are long-term effects of things that happened decades, or centuries, ago. The way in which an act of terrorism against innocents in New York City is tied, configurally, historically, to events of 1649, 1953, or 1876 can't be reduced to comfortable ...

Go! Get out into the greening.   See life happening. Get hip to the meaning   of the resurrection metaphor for Mother Earth in the act of returning what each autumn we mourn and is now being reborn with the first heady scent of royal purple hyacinth, a cyclical reminder that heaven is Earth and we are walking on the body of god.
