thiss thread insspired a sssonnet and i use the term loosssely obvioussly i am no shakesss ssspear, by the way, do any of ya'll do snake qigong? rattlesnake sonnet Anywhere from Florida to Seattle, in nature I find creativity. Regardless of what you may think of me; I like poems, my nature is docile. Like primitive man using atlatl; charging his chosen words with energy, I carefully coil my poetry, and from the rhythmic sound of my rattle, to my consistent assonance hissing, releasing the poem, I uncoil. Shedding my skin I regain suppleness on a rock, stretching for warm sun basking. Sensitive to vibrations subtleness, life is more than slithering in toil.

On June 2, 2012, I and Lazy Cloud went to the initiation event in Virginia. After the initiation, we returned to my cottage which interestingly enough we are both at today, more often than not, especially the past three years I have left the cottage alone. We are here working on bagua applications and a two person xingyi set. I used to have a little saying around here "it's just another wonderful day with the tao," now, each day I am saying "this is the best day ever," there is certainly an abundance of luck and prosperity. ^^ Wishing health and happiness to each of You.

From Sacred Stone Camp 27 minutes ago Dear Shailene, We don't know who your lawyer is, but you should probably fire them. Your decision to plead guilty, without consulting your codefendants, is cowardly. Your "international travel career" was never in jeopardy by the misdemeanors you faced. What was in front of you was actually a rare opportunity to use your fame for the benefit of others, and to bring attention to the trials of the others who plan to fight for justice. And you decided to prioritize yourself. Do you know what solidarity actually is? It means you must stand strong and work together with the community even when the stakes are high. Together we are stronger. Hope you at the very least plan to cover the fines and fees of the people who took bold action on Indigenous Peoples Day, who you have now thrown under the bus. For all folks arrested in Standing Rock- please get in touch with the legal teams and make a plan with your lawyer and codefendants to act in solidarity with one another. Your decision to take a deal and plead guilty could endanger your comrades ability to defend their case. There are ways to work together to hold strong defenses in court.

right, the robber barons can use every dirty trick known to mankind to enact their mission, yet, when the first monkey wrench gets thrown into their cogs, they scream bloody murder.

is it sustainable is my question.

"Fun" is really a bourgeoisie luxury/hedonistic pursuit of the leisure class, btw. Out in Nature's jungle, winning and losing is more often a serious matter of life and death. It's pretty much the opposite of "fun," lol. Organisms aren't competing for fun in the wild, they are competing to merely SURVIVE. Fair competition isn't just the fundamental engine of capitalism, it is the fundamental engine of LIFE! ---gendao spoken like a true predator bourgeoisie, well done. gendao, well done!! with enthusiasm even!! lets be clear, in our human realm it is competing merely to survive as well. "The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles." and "It compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production; it compels them to introduce what it calls civilization into their midst, i.e., to become bourgeois themselves. In other words, it creates a world after its own image." the effect of this is that the proletariat's life is reduced to activity that is merely a means to keep on living. This activity is not part of life but a sacrifice of life. i can quote marx as well as smith, and it is easy to cherry pick from either to make whatever case one wishes. an understanding of the complete works is what provides insight. imo, there could/should be a fusion of the two economists' works into something that works for a larger group. and a way from the vicious cycle that keeps repeating. and when the tide turns, as it will, as it has in the past, hunting down bourgeoisie will be "fun" sport for the new rising class as they perform rites of human sacrifice. it must be a long time since 1794, 1917 for bourgeoisie to be so cocky. one should study history and stay humble. there is no where to run, nowhere to hide. bourgeoisie are famous for not sticking together when the time comes.
