orthodoxy and truth

"You are born Greek Orthodox
you die Greek Orthodox
and they don't bother you much
in between."


2 noble Truths:
Big corporations are the enemies of free persons.
Money-power corrupts and will destroy free speech.

p.s.
who threw the money changers out?
who defied the roman corpstate?

four decades of fog

tired of words in the middle of march

when all days are so sunny and warm

invasive plants in connect i cut

sound a glossy page lame alarm

"the unbearable thinness of flatness"

screens away spring's charm

amazing how mongo's mazacote

can cut thru 4 decades of fog

slow politics requires more people

admiring each turtle on a log

cliches show the way

the great cliches show us the way

cliches of c & w, cliches of @@

eden eternity equality essence

the 4 e's possess us easily -- what you say?

slow politics of great reskilling

steady urgency of moving to groove

'Art begins where the wee bit begins,'

replied Bryulov, indicating with these words

just what is most characteristic of art.

The remark is true of all the arts,

but its justice is particularly noticeable

in the performance of music. from Tolstoy in What is Art?

In terms of The Great Transition

to sustainable echo-living in localities

the joyous science of Groovology

has many processes to explore

disciplines to integrate

many false tech fixes to deplore

and one important strategic goal to accomplish

helping infants, toddlers, children everywhere

to take such delight in performance

that they can't be pacified

can't be dumbed down into hive mind

deactivated by cold evil techno-cocooning

human touch & human scale

Tolstoy & Bryulov's wee bits

Wm Blake's minute particulars

Bateson's differences that make a difference

beckon to each of us each moment

tuba mirum spargens sonum

sequels to neruda's Book of Questions

who knows the many purposes of poetree?

how does condensed synchronicity serve?

"Why does it not dawn in Bolivia

after the night of Guevara?"

"Por que no amanece en Bolivia

desde la noche de Guevara?"

are questions the same as preguntas?

"IS there an ecological unconscious?"

does dirty coal mining in Australia

put an Alabama jihadist in Somalia?

do poetree queries seek prosaic answers?

why do GOOOHie questions seem so right

and not "non-partisan"?

can The Great Transition do the right asks?

can each of us accomplish multi tasks?

Open Letter to Kucinich for T Party

Grand T Party (GTP) for Sustainable Economy

Anyone who thinks growth of human population, human technologies, and human pride can go on forever in a finite world is a madman and a specialist.

mc k9's variation on economist Kenneth Boulding's statement that opens The Great Transition book

Dear Dennis Kucinich,
time for still another overview of humanity's situation
time to think boldly about DK and Ron Paul y'all
Ron has more supporters coming on board
so make an alliance for T(ransition) Party arrival this fall
just a few of the 60 or so peace-minded liberals
make many concessions to 5 or 6 reps on libertarian right
in order to UNITE firmly on the need to:
end imperialism
restore the Constitution
keep the federal budget both balanced and shrinking
bring all the troops home
cut the war budget 10 to 15% each year
phase out the military industrial corpstate complex
in all 50 states fairly, steadily, evenly
use the 30 hour week to employ everyone who wants to work
help citizens shape the local eco-businesses of a free market
(the only free market is a local sustainable market
the only local sustainable market is a free market)
keep well regulated militias in their states
(2nd amendment & 10th amendment)
planting trees, shielding wilderness areas,
helping Mother Nature restore the precious balance
that keeps us alive, alert and ready for "next Katrina'
honor, defend and uphold entire Constitution & Declaration
i.e. the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God"
and all the amendments (with possible exception of the 16th)
with special emphasis on tenth amendment (states')
and ninth amendment (human) rights
9th amendment privacy rights
make birth, marriage, death none of the govt's business
liberals & libertarians make common cause to lead T Party
perot independents, nader reformers, toward the goals of
nuclear disarmament, peace and ecological balance
to get this peace & ecology alliance going
we must do everything reasonable that tea partiers are asking for:
i.e. shrink fed & state governments, reducing the size of Fed govt
by cutting the Pentagon budget before it bankrupts us completely
lowering federal taxes fast, simplfying tax law to 3 flat taxes
one page of instructions
send single payer health insurance to the 50 states
or reduce medicare payments as we extend minimum medicare
to all children and later to everyone
common sense land reforms that make possible
steady increase in number of small family farms
so that more and more food is local food
doesn't have to be transported
you make this bold alliance for transition
to old fashioned understandable, honest, sustainable economics
suddenly people will see very clearly that republicans didn't
and don't actually conserve anything
"progressives" can't define, much less create
"progress" since borrowing topsoil from conquered "neighbors"
and from the future
has been the opposite of progress for over 3000 years
atomic bombs and atomic energy progress????
DK, i've been asking you for many years now
to give up the "progress" growth development myths
join forces with the few true conservers (the verb)
save our species, and many others, from extinction
NOW! Not tomorrow. NOW!!
Sincerely,
mc K9
PS #1
this proposal has the added bonus
splitting the Republican party
& hopefully destroying the fascist portion of it
the Transition Party or "T party", for short,
GTP will replace the GOP gradually or swiftly
in many predominantly rural states
and our foreign policy
will finally shift toward peace making
a grateful world will continue to buy
some of our 'transition to sustainability' bonds
we can solve all our real problems by decentralizing
increasing genuine democracy
PS #2
libertarian socialism has never been tried
must be local can't be national or 'nazi'
anything "too big to fail" will fail eventually
PS #3
ask Ron Paul's office to propose a Peace Department
in 250 words or less
PS #4
propose an Eco-Balance Department in same spirit
250 words or less

true conservers conserve

True Conservers Conserve in 21st Century

from an anarchist=libertarian=decentralist=ecological perspective
"government that governs least governs best"
the historical political spectrum has always revealed
a statist=totalitarian=authoritarian right (20th century fascism)
a statist=totalitarian=authoritarian left (20th century communism)
both of which have been delusional, destructive and deadly
in relation to both humanity and Nature

both statist left and statist right have been hell bent upon militarism
power, control, using different delusional/ideological frameworks
to achieve the same power-over, control, domination goals
nowadays militarism, war and obsolete megaweapons
no longer assert power, control populations, achieve policy goals
no matter how worthy, or unworthy, they may be
radicle ("rooted") decentralization and conserving consensus
locally and bio-regionally
are the only paths any rational citizen can take
toward peace, the common GOOD, eco-balance
common decency

daddy bush's iraq war
clinton's iraq war
shrub's iraq war
obama's iraq war
a million dead inside iraq
our economy on the rocks
have convinced me
time to unite moderate left & moderate right
the liberals & the libertarians
the independents and alienateds
as a conserving consensus to end STATE-ism
(Statist Totalitarian Authoritarian Triumphalist Elitism)
waging unilateral, preemptive, perpetual wars
on a world that can no longer be controlled by force

as people begin to notice that obama elected is still trapped
in the same failing war economy that we fell into in 1960-61
(Ike's speech on the miilitary industrial complex 50 years ago)
all the rip van winkles will be invited to wake up
to the warnings of the floundering fathers

deja vu all over again each day
