There is no money to be made by peaceful discourse, or the unity of mind and spirit that follow. Be it between me and the hummingbird that sipped off the leaves the water from my garden hose, or between thousands of us connecting via the wonderful NM -when we are at… Read full post »

   The sea otter has a little baby on her belly. I am not sure when the little one came onboard, but noticed the new arrivial for the first time late last week. I  walk the dog down with the glasses almost every day to check out the acti… Read full post »

The elite of the planet know that literate people are much harder to exploit . Without masses of underfed and uneducated to starve and slaughter, the elite would be forced to account for actions by populations armed with information.

We teach them to fish only to take most of what… Read full post »

            Sure I am stuck at go, and my 200 bucks sits on the table. The word Truth is starting to make me sick. Everyone is claiming to know the truth - even Larry King now, is telling the truth, and his real name. Buy the book.

     Calmly, assertively - my occupation of 'merika continues - just as it did before the Bush- even the Reagan years.

    Most  importantl is that   I occupy my brain - and work every day to keep the bullshit out and the truth in - I can't say… Read full post »

I thought,

 as I hurried to buckle my belt,

That the shortest day would end without me,

 The old Golden followed me out into the light,

And sniffed her way down the bottom way too slow,

She has her own agenda,

But I have both a leash and a cookie,

Come… Read full post »

Oh it is cool as a San Francisco Afternoon,

As the cool ones talk about when they were cool,

 And how to die is just not so cool,

Or being not so bright isn't cool,

Man there is so dam little in this town that ain't so cool,

But we… Read full post »

  Review- Back to square "0"

 1991 

 It was a recession, a recession combined with a Bush luxury tax that destroyed the boat business in the US. I  was in the boat business, the small boat business, in a very small way, and going slowly broke.

    I was on my way to Florida, loaded with… Read full post »

              Good morning 'merika. As part of my one man occupation of our fascist nation, I have begun a series of intiatives. I expect them to be enacted with the same level of enthusiasm as my posts on OS have been given by my… Read full post »

               We are here now for sure for three more months - spending down swiftly our life savings - not just to create the illusion of "No Visible Means Of Support" that we had back in the days of the 'Dead,  when we were… Read full post »

                  Activism - or standing up for something other than what Fox news and MSM  Corpgov sources put in our trough - will continue here at the same slow pace that is has for decades before OWS or OS permit… Read full post »

         Us Zinn fans, historians, and most people who read much agree we are not a democracy - by design or default. I have no problem accepting this. Never had. I do not even think this is bad. But we can grow beyond the GOVCORP/CORPGOV (GC)&… Read full post »

          We walked on the south beach at Point Reyes. I bored my old friend to death with the problem I have been attemping to solve: How to create a mass movement during this  Great Repression. I know it is a battle that must be won one mind at… Read full post »

            We are just back from three days in San Francisco. Even the dog cooperated.  Three days without the couch, computer, or ocean view. We stayed in Marin, out in the hills, and met with various contacts from the educated left - medi… Read full post »

           I am just one old grey haired old fart who read way to much for his own good. I had my head in fiction when I should have been learning how to become a better machine part. I opted for cannon fodder early becuase at fourteen I knew that I… Read full post »

We can write but we can't read. Well - you can't read too good, but you spell better than me. And I guess that makes you better some how?

      Oh yes...reading the posts and ideas of you all! Great stuff !  I read them! I am a little behind because of  a recent rash of  EP's that ticked me off a bit - perhaps you know - or may not know - that reality is a construct. We each… Read full post »

 My own wife is sick of  OWS. And sick of me for tapping at the keyboard every night.

I blogged in 2009 that We the People had to stay the course - after the election - we didn't. The wolves licked Obamas bones clean.
