"But the Cold Civil War in this country is getting closer and closer to boiling point, and I'm obviously in the vanguard of that."

there’s something, somehow, spiritually* both settling & disturbing about that tidbit.

thing is, i think i get it, what you’re saying that is.   i don’t think GreenM gets it though.

~~based on what he posted in reply~~and this is not to criticize you, Gmntain;  mostly

i’m just clarifying it for myself…’cause sheeez  there is so much yin and yang energy

converging into and upon the planet that it’s surreal and in complete disharmony

with the health of a living organism; and for sake of what notions?   face?

*for lack of a more definitive word usage.

“This we know: the earth does not belong to man, man

belongs to the earth. All things are connected

like the blood that unites us all.

Man did not weave the web of life,

he is merely a strand in it.

Whatever he does to the web,

he does to himself.”
