Elk grove

  Lately ive been watching a series of tennis and sports events out of places like Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Qatar, Doha, including golf, soccer, beach soccer which I've never seen before but probably has been around as long as beaches have been around. One interesting thing ive noticed is the overviews of some of these oil rich desert cities is quite amazing. Especially at night, the emergence of a metropolitan landscape comparable to urban environments such as chicago, new, york, and many other modern (old) cities worldwide. So, i got to thinking about elk grove. For those who dont live around sacramento california ( California by itself, one of the top five economies in the world, though you wouldn't know it by all the hype over its impending bankruptcy) should know that forty years ago, elk grove, was an all rural, old post gold rush community made up of farms, oak trees, and though i don't know for sure, maybe a lot of elk. In the past forty years, land development there ha

  Killer boy “They needed to be killed. That’s the beautiful thing about this world, someone always needs to be killed.” U. S. Marine, Haditha Massacre, Nov 19, 2005. An infinite number of monkeys eventually can tell you what happens when everything that can happen, does happen, no one will admit it nor appreciate it, even the literate sycophants that haunt the meaning of things with their conformist poetry and visionary schemes,  Typing all the masterpieces in word fragments or two and spending the rest of humanities time piecing it together, called incremental change. In the meantime, everything that will happen, happens right alongside everything that did happen, and Big Bang Boy goes and gets his gun Oh, is that why our future gets mixed up with his yesterdays, i can only guess? It must be a puzzle only he can understand. Coyote take away your names, take away your pride.  Coyote takes away your time, takes away your Eye Coyote, Hey Yo. Hey Ho Whats jammin, bi

Googled

Googled Democracy has always remained in its infancy stage. Thats due more to the fact that human beings themselves, even with the special power of having a positive, effective influence on our own survival, can't get past its built-in defects. Those defects are 1. The inability to realize a consistent organizational pattern of non-aggression against each other. Authoritarianism and dominance are the two attributes' humans have not mastered nor attempted to eliminate. Violence is the mainstay of an authoritarian state (or state of mind). It doesn't take much imagination to determine what guns are primarily used for these days. It's not, like gun owners say, a right to defend oneself. It's as much about the murder of other fellow humans but even the illogic of power, such as the intentional massacre of buffalo or every other species, (including self). The meek do not inherit the earth except in mythic ideology. Thats not to say they should

Democrats are excited

The democrats have once again thrown themselves into an existential conundrum. Women are excited, black and brown people are excited, and Harris herself is happy as a bird in paradise. As one significant expert on democracy now says, Kamala "represents the fear of many about the browning of america more than the rise,of fascism in america."   Yes, it is horrible what all the haters are bringing to the democratic table.   Now, we are asked to forget what Kamala does represent in her politics, her philosophy, just like we were asked in accepting Hilary Clinton. America is enraptured with these sorts of campaigns of no substance. Blowhard fascists and slow-moving democrats without a new plan, a new fortune and future. If there was a god, he couldn't mastermind more confusion and cynicism that exudes out of the american democratic system. Harris is the new lemming leader, the new kool aid dispenser. She will win and anyone will be hard pressed

Evolution

Evolution is darwins scientific observation. Physical changes measured or compared over a period of time. What it doesn't do is measure intelligence or emotional or spiritual changes or responses.   We are the ones who ascertain the ability to create and use technology as the intellectual development guide, thus drawing the line between us and the natural world. All the fears from the natural world we borrow from each other draw the lines further between us and the unseen world, the spiritual world. Yet, we can't separate ourselves completely and those of us who have less technology, less security from the natural world relies more on the spiritual world to protect ourselves not only from what natural world consequences there are but from those who fear the natural world and use technology to smother the natural world. Science fiction tells us we are capable of doing anything if we can think or believe or hope it's possible. Hope is the spiritual
