Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

The new guy sounds Catholic. If he gets it I think there will be five catholics on the supreme court. So strange to me how the wacko protestants and the Catholics have found so much common ground. Back in my day those radio and TV preachers were always going on about Papist Plots. Nice to see them getting along so well these days. After all they have a common enemy. Women.

How to get a man into a Supreme Court seat a woman formally sat in without being accused of not nominating a woman: Nominate an unqualified crony, after all the crony hatin’ that’s been going around, no one is going to stand for it, and she’ll have to resign. Then you can nominate the guy you wanted in the first place without looking like a bigot.


Side note: I’m so glad the Nazis inverted that symbol before they used it. Anyway I think they did. It looks like it compared to the ones they used on their flags.

I like the scene in the remake of A Star Is Born, the one with Barbara Striesand. She comes back from a shopping trip with a Navajo blanket; there are swastikas all over it. My first reaction was fear, than anger than neutrality. The Nazi swastika is tilted up on one leg, not that it matters. I am not giving it up to them. The same for the confederate flag, I am not giving it up for racists. I am not going to let anyone drag me around by the ying yang using symbols. I am grateful that I am not a woman. I think I would be one very angry person, even more than I am. Don't know if there is any point in ranting. What do these people in power want to do with the women and children? The die is cast, the threshold has been crossed. A new dark age is here. For another twenty years at least. The war against women and children has started.


I have not read the book but it is a catchy title.

Although the title is The War Against Women the war is in actuality against men too. The book was filled with facts that were pushed to unrealistic extremes in some of the predictive instances. Such as, when she was writing about the possibilities of in vitro fertilization, this idea led to a suggestion that men would eventually not need women except to reproduce the species and force them onto baby making farms. So, sure I can see the possibility of this working, but it seems to me it would work better the other way around, less men would be needed on the farm, one egg, millions of sperm.
There was the very real attack from the field of sociobiology that discusses some male scientist studying chimps and aggression to validate violence in human males. The author goes on to show how the information can be, and is distorted. I don’t think the information was available yet when the book was written but a society of apes was discovered that is a matriarchal society were the males are not aggressive. Email from my brother: Check out this website presented by The Great Apes
Trust. I am particularly interested in the studies of
the apes social behavior. The Orangutans are so
solitary and mysterious. The Bonobos are Matriarchal
and use sex to settle disputes, which leads to some
fascinating questions. The Chimpanzee is Patriarchal
and far more prone to violence and strife, which I
suppose is not surprising, but is none-the-less
curious. They are creating a place for them to live
that is almost entirely controlled by the apes
themselves, which should prove to be very
enlightening.

out the Operation Migration website. It is related to
the reintroduction of the endangered Whopping Cranes
raised in captivity. This dude uses Ultralights to
train the birds to migrate. You may have heard about
this before, but the details are what really make the
story.

Anyway, here is where I meant to head with all this rambling. Hatred of symbols is what continues these cycles. Our heads are filled with symbols and their specific meanings. These symbols have power. This is good, we learn to read….But this power is taken too far when we fear, women (sex symbols) to the point that it is believed the sex part has to be controlled by others or they will have no power of their own. Men have a symbol, there are women separatist. Religions have symbols, science has theirs and there are the people who fear both of them too. Taking what is there naturally to protect us too extremes injures all of us, by keeping all those who are not the few elite making world policies, fighting amongst themselves for one symbol or another.

the war is in actuality against men too

Yes.

I am particularly interested in the studies of
the apes social behavior.

Me too.

That dam supreme court worries me. I am hoping that his appointment can be stalled until the next congressional elections. It looks grim for women, children and the working poor. "This darkness got to end" It is a man's world the women of my mother's generation used to say. Ain't that a shame. Hoping for a peaceful pink revolution myself. Too many dickheads in power.

Who put the ape in apricot that's what I want to know
thanks for links going to stop this ramble and go check them out.
