At left is one of the greatest pieces of wisdom ever offered on this Earth.
Emerson also said, “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.”
May that inspire our work as environmental activists. Given the circus that is now the United States, it’s easy to lose hope, or even interest, in building an effective societal transformation in the direction of compassion, environmental stewardship, and sustainability. Yet it can happen, and if enough of us believe that, it will happen.
This strikes me as a poor analogy from the start. Pro Mask vs. Anti Mask? That’s like saying “science vs. superstition,” or “kindness vs. cruelty.” They really are natural opponents.
But the end is even worse: Who’s shaking the jar??? Like that’s not obvious?
Hint: It’s a guy desperate for re-election, whose only chance is to tear our country apart. And it’s not a secret; it’s not like this is happening and no one can see it.
For a society to be productive, happy and sustainable, it must be one built on mutual respect and cooperation; this won’t happen in an environment of mistrust, hate, and racially motivated violence. And there’s the issue right there: Trump couldn’t care less. He wants re-election, and he’ll burn this country to the ground to achieve it.
My mom and I were talking about this just last night. Is it right to wish an agonizing death for someone, regardless of how evil he happens to be?
Personally, I can’t go there. I know this is a controversial issue, and I appreciate what the blogger at left is saying, but I join the Bidens and the Obamas in their “high-road” approach, wishing Trump a speedy and full recovery. (more…)
There is some truth here, but I wish people would think a second before they call Trump an idiot. There is no evidence that the s***show we’re seeing is a result of our leader’s low intelligence.
What we’re actually seeing here is a combination of three things:
• Trump has a singular devotion to Trump; he has no regard whatsoever for anyone or anything else. (more…)
With all the hate, ignorance and brutality in our world today, we are surrounded by the hope that humankind will somehow come together and turn all this garbage around.
To that end, I offer you this, and the suggestion to listen to it at the highest volume that doesn’t cause ear damage.
