Clifford Stoll: 18 minutes with an agile mind

Sometimes politicians sound as goofy as this character; sometimes economists talk a lot of gibberish; sometimes religious people make no sense at all; "All truth is one. In this light, may science and religion endeavor here for the steady evolution of mankind, from darkness to light, from narrowness to broad-mindedness, from prejudice to tolerance. It is the voice of life, which calls us to come and learn."

All truth is one.

I had to laugh.  I mean I know he was trying to pander to Hispanic voters, but it reminded me of something from my short career on ice.

One of the principal men always used makeup that was a ghastly shade of almost-red. (Stage makeup comes in 20 or more shades, from Clown White to Blackface) I was standing near him backstage one night when one of the chorus boys came right out and asked him what color makeup he used.  He said, in a very snotty voice, "Sh*t Brindle!"  I had to stuff my hand in my mouth to keep from hooting.

That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw that photo of Romney the Red.

Re:  "Orange Mittens".  What a creepy shade of orange!  Several sites did note, they thought this was either an inept attempt to pander to Hispanics, or he caught the Snooki virus.  It's really strange!  I'll be interested in what he does to pander to other ethnic groups.....

Epilepsy and the origins of monotheism

"There has long been a recognized association between monotheism and the desert’s all-powerful sun, as there is between polytheism and the lush diversity of sun-shaded forests. And it seems that epilepsy is another component of the development and spread of the idea of the One God.

"If only they’d had shades in those days, think how much grief we could have avoided!"

Plundering-class criminals

"Romney's ruling class contempt for his economic inferiors views us as a clutch of parasitic layabouts.

"Obama's policies manifested Romney’s privileged class view of the world when he "bailed out the true parasites of the present order, and has all but turned his back on the so-called 47 percent."

Origins - Moving Art™

Over eons of time, birthed from deep sea waters, evolved into splendid diversity, we enjoy the gifts of participating in many wonders of what time and space does in its natural flow of life and living. Each day creates a new opportunity to

use all our senses to soak in the universe, full of wonder. Sitting in my garden with all the wildlife scampering and flittering around me, I feel profound gratitude to be alive and a part of all of this.

Louie Schwartzberg at Bioneers Conference 2011 - Moving Art™ -

Determination: Watching salmon struggling to master falling water to get to its spawning gravels, the tiny seeds sprouting to become massive trees, slime mold growing betwen cracks and over rocks, wood and vegetation, all attest to the determination to live and become part of this magnificent universe. 

Evolution: Knowing life, evolving from single cell organisms into vast varieties we know today, creating life as we know it. 

Vision: Understanding human beings, developing into bodies and minds for good and ill, have the capacity to protect and care for our planet, or to destroy life as we know it.
