@gmp post #475 good chuckle. @mh i didnt try and affect the outcome between the cat and crow, i was just walking about. i didnt say hey crow watch out for the cat. but i'll take the credit lol becoz crows never forget. @silent thunder i enjoyed that piece as well from doyle, so much i shared it here birds poems ufos,,,,yeah

i think we will always hear some dismissive to anarchy tome from those who support empire and like having colonies under their feet. tome reminds me of tomb and a tomb is where these empire mongers would place free spirited folk. irony always finds a way and they entomb and doom themselves ultimately. and not surprisingly to anyone paying attention these days. the battle is being fought (fiercely) with words. i am not sure how many of ya'll have access to JSTOR but if you do i highly recommend kurt spellmeyer's "Too Little Care": Language, Politics, and Embodiment in the Life-World

i may check that out gmp. i read this one last year http://yalepress.yale.edu/Yupbooks/reviews.asp?isbn=9780300122558 the other morning after checking out the sunrise i came upon a feral cat that was creeping over some boulders towards a lone crow eating breakfast. the crow noticed how the cat fled disturbed by my arriving on the scene. nonchalant, the crow continued eating the morning meal but did give a curtesy caw caw as i passed on by.

adaptability

i dont think its really cluttering up the board and it is probably a lot easier to find a subject you are interested in by having these sub-forums, especially for newcomers to this site. how may great threads have been lost in general discussion over the years, when basically that was where everything went for so long? "We are a loose knit group with varied interests" it helps to have a compass to find a specific interest rather than attempting to find the needle in the hay field and besides, the sub-forums are already here and i doubt they ever become undone, taoists adapt to change, i have heard edit> dream school sounds cool

not until every sub-forum has its own set of sub-forums

altho our current commander in chief has not spent the treasure that the previous commander in chief did, he has now outbombed dubya in the number of nations bombed 7-4 by the "official" count. a new phase of the perpetual war has been entered. http://www.mintpressnews.com/west-created-isis/196488/

nvm!! lol

"Is being unborn the same as being dead?" goodness! mh goes abstract on me LOL "I have never been dead yet" no worries, we will get there.. but on this day we LIVE, so lets laugh a good healthy laugh amongst friends.

@NeiKung Namaste, many a post on the subject you are interested in is archived in the area here known as the pit. happy searching edit> be prepared to read insults after insults in those threads,and i wouldnt be surprised if a few get tossed here on your lobby thread. sign signifier signified

interesting thought would you care to expand on it?

i think it was really just some political theatre is all.

edit>> this preface was included to the poem by Eliot from Dante S’io credesse che mia risposta fosse A persona che mai tornasse al mondo, Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo Non torno vivo alcun, s’i’odo il vero, Senza tema d’infamia ti rispondo.

it seemed that the brittish (at least the govt) were almost in a panic that scotland might leave. cameron was pleading for a no vote

any rate an independent scotland is all just a faded pipe dream now. it would be refreshing however if there were at least some romantic rather than all practical in this world. at least there is iceland and ireland to admire

good point apech about nafta. i still dont see why scotland could not stand on their own. i may be more ignorant about all of this than i realized, i thought the uk was part of the eu but had chosen not to accept the euro as its currency. and i thought scotland does have the oil reserves to support itself. actually i thought excepting sweeden, switzerland, and the balkans all of europe was eu. if only scotland couldve merged with iceland!!!!! (mexico is a union of drug cartels)

i dont see why scotland would have to join the eu? if texas seceded from the us , i dont think it would join up with mexico. i do understand that those of you bums that are in the uk or europe have paid closer attention to this vote than me. i am a humble anarchist who only looks at politicians and elections as spectacles of amusement(in a very sordid way) scotland is no iceland thats for sure

to say this in the old south usa religious speak; scotland fumbled the ball on the goal line. and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. i can relate to JB's guffaw more than any cackle from hillary,,,i digress as usual,,i find it interesting that joeblast, taomeow, and myself---all from different vantage points and perspectives, each of us entirely different backgrounds,from 3 very distinct corners of but each of us here in america today have come to a very similar view of whats going on. the video that infinity posted was spot on. the greatest union appears to be the corporate union of absolute power which aims to homogenize each and everyone of us into a united state of ready consumers and rid us of our own unique individualism.to take away self reliance which would hinder the need for these corps'. i have witnessed it here in america, it is real. dis-empowering the population is the evolutionary tract that we are on. i think the romanticism is thinking that these unions lift up the down trodden, in fact they trample further upon and ruthlessly punish all non-conformity, individualism, and dissent. there is a reason that america is arming its police to the teeth these days and it has little to do with foreign terrorists(this trend began pre-9/11). of course the brittish were alarmed that scotland ('s oil) might have chosen to leave. i seriously doubt that scotland would have been allowed to leave if the vote had gone different. false flag coincidental events are not just an american phenomenon but the work of the corporate union and multi-national banksters. its so obvious, i reckon i'll go to legal zoom and form my own corporation today, it is just that easy to join the evil empire union. not sure if my corporation should have the goal of being a bank , pharmaceutical, or gmo food brand. each of these choices further enslaves regular folks. and politicians dont run anything themself they are merely the paid puppets/front men of the elites. money is the only law, money is the only free speech. so yeah, i'll choose to join up with money and yeah slavery is great for everyone else. cameron will soon be my bitch too "Would you expect to see some kilted gentlemen striding across the Highlands with broadsword in hand? " of course not i already stated how corps' unions have taken away all individuality

because going to a scotland that chose to be independent was a very exciting idea. i visit places as much for the spirit of the place as i would to see the natural landscape and enjoy the culture.,

who is being negative? you dont think that families, tribes, clans are capable of getting along with others in community? i admit i live a comfortable lifestyle because i am an american, i own property, am not in debt, and dont have to work for anyone. i should remain practical ? and not consider that my good fortune is due to someone somewhere being hornswoggled by the elites. its a really sweet deal for me. edit> i do trust my neighbors more than the multinational banksters

your concept of union sounds great on paper and in theory. i am an Appalachian American and my anarchist ideology has been expressed since my arrival on this site. i always speak of self reliance, independence, and self responsibility. i understand from my vantage point that these "unions" are all about the elites getting the better deal at the expense of the others. i know first hand what its like to have the rich natural resources extracted and nothing given in return except for some wage jobs that only last as long as the resources do. same old story, the rich keep getting richer and the poor remain poor. the gap always widens and when elections dont work, eventually the pitchforks reign for a moment. i thought one of the issues there was the austerity ideas of the elites that should apply to everyone else? i agree that the 2 most successful empires of the past 200 years are the 2 that you name and look where we are as a planet now.

willie made sense to me lol. they shoulda used his persuasive rant in the campaign. i offer a toast to the 45% there in scotland and it will always be the minority who savors and understands independence. the majority always being weak and frail and needing to be dependent. when the numbers dont crunch so well, passion could come into play, who has the more passion, resolve, and will? not likely such exists over in what used to be ancient scotland. i reckon the true spirit of the rugged scots left scotland long ago and settled into appalachia the ones here make better whisky too. here is some image of what an independent scot would look like, yes, this is just make up hollywood stuff,
