the Free Market Monster

[Arcadia]

Disturbing article arcadia,

well, sorry... I guess capitalism is and continue being a hell of a monster... but maybe it´s not easy at all to became a semi-rural peaceaful comuna only at a snap of fingers ...

We live in such interesting times here.

good to hear that & thanks for reading!

I have read that when the Chinese want to wish some one bad luck they say "May you live in interesting times"

There is another Gellman, a Nobel prize winner but I don't that is the same guy. What interested me was his quote about the roman saying if you want peace prepare for war.

And I am thinking
"Onward Christian Soldiers" a hymn from the north american civil war, the war that killed more yankees and rebels than all our other wars combined.

Yeah rome was bad enough as a pagan empire. we on the other hand are a christian empire.

War means nothing to me anymore, just another god in the pantheon. I am a pacifist, mostly. At least I try to be.

War, another monster.
I don't know if it is exclusive to capitalism though:?

Sometimes when I have drank too much coffee, and drank too much weed and stayed up having fun too long if that is possible I lay down and I can hear the blood throbbing in my ear against the pillow and I just start to ease on down to sleep, or maybe I have already crossed the thresh hold into unconsciousness the monsters come, they look like Buddhist demons sometimes, not a bad lot once you get to know them, I smile and dream on.

I been lucky to have been spared war, I mean my draft board decided I had enough bad memories I suppose.

Now I am too old,
so what has it got to do with me?
If I was a parent I would probably feel different.
Ain’t going to study war no more

ChristZ I heard a preacher on sunday tv today say that the day you become a christian is the day you are drafted.

Everybody knows the problem in Afghanistan is corruption. No military solution to that I don't think. Or at least none needed

I like Obama, he has done some good things on the home front, getting the ideology out of government agencies that are supposed to be looking out for the health and welfare of our bodies not our souls.

So he got to fight his wars.
Maybe I am fatalistic, maybe I am an Aztec about that.


Sorry for the ramble, I know nothing, nothing but opinions.
