progressive one-sentence thought. BIOs
12-31 Modern corporate states like the US are good at delivering subsidies and power to the rich, homelessness and jail to the poor, beatings and pepper spray to the dissenters and bombs to those nations that refuse to recognize their hegemony: tyranny is called justice.
12-30 We can begin to end war only if every nation pledges no-first-use of military power.
12-29 The Iraqis have correctly identified the core of American military policy which is: killing humans with starvation and bombs is fine as long as the dead aren't Americans.
12-28 Only sick, undemocratic societies put nonviolent political protestors and other nonviolent "criminals" in jail instead of using more rational and humane economic and other penalties: most of the nations of the world are sick and undemocratic.
12-27 It is better to have an opinion on a topic than it is to be so ignorant that you cannot have an opinion: whether the opinion is correct or not can only be determined by reality.
12-26 Since the basic idea of being an animal is to have mobility with choice it seems dumb to put any species of animal in cages unless there is a very compelling research need to do so.
12-25 Those who are addicted to using the dogs of war to try to achieve world peace and world justice are clearly addicted to using their asses instead of their brains to solve human problems.
12-24 Why some ladies like to spend a lot of time and effort on shopping for goods in stores and malls: they have honed their shopping skills by spending a lot of time and effort shopping for at least one sexual mate.
12-23 We can't learn everything, experience everything, know everything: the best that we can hope for is that we will stop destroying earth and the other homes that we will travel to.
12-22 Is it really natural for ladies to lust after abs/crabs/shopping/babies and for guys to lust after money/power/sex/sports?
12-21 The Catholic Church and some other religious sects have a really ignorant and stupid policy with regard to birth control: it doesn't take much brain power to realize that the rate of population growth is too high now for the planet and society to sustain - a lesson that the Catholic Church has stupidly failed to learn in almost 2000 years - that's really slow folks.
12-20 We all have to live on this planet together: let's stop polluting and degrading it and stop killing, maiming and impoverishing each other and the rest of the biosphere.
12-19 Prosperous countries that bomb unprosperous countries are morally feebleminded in the same way that humans who abuse other humans or other animals are morally feebleminded.
12-18 Honduras is an excellent example of what overpopulation, poverty, clearcutting, excessive burning of fossil fuels and corporate greed are doing to our people and to our planet.
12-17 Most American and British politicians are addicted to the use of force to settle international disputes: bombing Iraq in the past did not solve any problems; bombing Iraq yesterday did not solve any problems; bombing Iraq in the future will not solve any problems; bombing of Iraq can only create problems or worsen old problems.
12-16 William F Buckley speaks with such maniacle rancor about the impeachment of Bill Clinton that one is led to believe that the whole Clinton Impeachment Conspiracy was hatched in Buckley's Morally-Feeble Mind: is this the Republican Suicide Pact?
12-15 The heroes of the world are those who protest environmental damage or who work to repair environmental damage: the assholes of the world are those who cause environmental damage for lots of money or those who brutalize the heroes.
12-14 Everything we do and think requires materials from the environment, from business, from governments, from the earth, from the heavens, from life, from agriculture, from the biosphere, from our bodies, from our brains, from our computers and from our sciences and engineers and communications.
12-13 Most of the peoples of the world live under the tyranny of unjust Government Of The Rich (GOTR) which means that the rest of us who haven't GOTRich have got to organize to achieve real democracy with JUSTICE for all (Juries United to Secure Territory In Common for Earth).
12-12 The Biotic Baking Brigade got Eugene's Mayor Torrey on the head yesterday with a pie: their tactics are more civilized and a lot funnier than Torrey's tactics which include pepper-spraying nonviolent protestors on the face and on the genitals.
12-11 It is not possible to have a real democracy in a society like the USA where neither the average cop nor the average citizen can understand the average law.
12-10 To be fully human requires adequate functioning brain cells properly interconnected: this comes from adequate genes and adequate childhood experiences.
12-9 Newt Gingrich: proof that an incorrigible right-wing optimist will eventually be booby-trapped by reality.
12-8 Americans and others are immersed in a sea of propaganda otherwise referred to as advertising, con games, political campaigns, music, corporate handouts, government handouts, television, radio, newspapers, movies, the internet, books and magazines, religions, racism, bigotry, phobias, etc. - it is truly a mad, mad, mad world.
12-7 Society is in transition from macho warmongering to nonviolent community solidarity because nonviolent community solidarity is the only way that society and the environment can survive in decency in the future.
12-6 If we are to have a real democracy with decency and justice for all then we need to make those progressive changes necessary that will topple the worst, most narrowminded and most immoral of the financial kingpins from their status as dictators of America and of the rest of the Earth.
12-5 Everything you see or hear in any media should be treated with healthy skepticism: it is an open question as to where the least fact-checking is employed (the average bible writer?, the average web page?, some other media?).
12-4 Jerry Springer is the ringmaster for folks who cannot get the hang of growing up.
12-3 A real democracy has a well-regulated militia, a well-regulated stock market, well-regulated drugs, well-regulated health care, well-regulated insurance, well-regulated elections and campaigns, well-regulated lobbyists, well-regulated campaign contributions, well-regulated courts, well-regulated pollution, well-regulated jails, well-regulated lawyers, well-regulated forests, well-regulated taxes and well-regulated fraud: the USA has none of these things.
12-2 Scientists who test scientific dogmas against reality make big scientific discoveries; theologians who test spiritual dogmas against reality make big spiritual discoveries.
12-1 The list of defective professionals is endless: lawyers who write complicated, arcane and corrupt laws so that they can be paid big bucks/hour for the privilege of defending people against them, investors who babysit money instead of doing real work, con artists of astonishing variety who gleefully accept money for defective goods and services, prosecutors and judges who are fixated on winning, vengeance and superstition at the expense of justice, doctors who overprescribe and misprescribe drugs, corporate drug executives whose focus is pushing unnecessary drugs and overdoses on to doctors and patients, politicians who con us all, monopolistic businessmen, preachers who have empires built on gullible spiritual dependency, cops who think it is their duty to harass and frame suspicious citizens, bureaucrats who benefit themselves at the expense of citizens, repair people who make more money on bogus repairs than on real ones, excess insurance pushers, soldiers who commit atrocities against civilians...
11-30 Tobacco smokers are a peculiar breed of masochists: they pay big bucks for the privilege of being addicted to making themselves sicker and sicker so that a few fiends can get richer and richer.
11-29 My purpose in life is to write shit down so that people will be informed, entertained and disgusted - I'm like a poor, non-superstitious version of Stephen King.
11-28 Saving the future requires two prime contributions from the USA: making the multicultural thing really work and keeping the industrial degradation of the planet from getting worse.
11-27 The biggest source of injustice in the USA is the tyranny of bad laws, bad prosecutors, bad judges, bad lawyers, bad politicians and bad jails.
11-26 Some ladies have multiple orgasms because they are made of sugar and spice and everything twice.
11-25 Any government that has atomic weapons and does not have a policy of no-first-use of them has no moral authority whatsoever.
11-24 If tribalism, business, education, spirituality and discipline were decoupled from aggression, brutality, exploitation, pollution, bigotry and superstition - then we could all experience a happy and productive community.
11-23 We need to examine very carefully the best facets of patriarchy, the best facets of feminism, the worst facets of patriarchy and the worst facets of feminism; then we need to very deliberately and very consciously discard the worst facets and integrate the best facets into a great new civilization where real democracy will become inevitable.
11-22 The basic problem with the existing system of justice is that it is controlled by gangs: gangs of criminals, gangs of cops, gangs of lawyers, gangs of prosecutors, gangs of politicians, gangs of judges and the 12-member jury gang; justice should be controlled by scientifically-determined reality.
11-21 The zealous and inhumane activities of judge/prosecutor Ken Starr make it abundantly clear that all laws making it possible for judges or prosecutors to put people in jail for lying under oath or for contempt-of-court should be repealed: this is one of the many activities of government that reduce justice instead of increasing it.
11-20 The greatest danger to human civilization comes from the USA because the US has the biggest stock of atomic bombs and does not have a no-first-use policy for them: the rest of the world should declare economic sanctions against the USA until the US declares a no-first-use policy with respect to atomic bombs.
11-19 The prime law of the stock market: what goes up too fast and too far must come down too fast and too low.
11-18 If the human race cannot purge itself from our crappy greed and crappy aggressions and crappy pollutions and crappy superstitions then it were better that we commit suicide with our crappy atomic bombs and our crappy chemical/biological weapons so that the planet can recover from our crappy presence.
11-17 What is the nature of the character, ideological, social, genetic and motivational defect in the selfish rich that causes them to be so addicted to the accumulation of personal and familial wealth that they cannot be bothered with allowing a decent distribution of the necessities of life to low income people and to other species in the web of society and life; what is the nature of the defect in low income people that causes them to allow such enslavement; and what is the nature of the middle classes that causes them to be so complicitous in the wrecking of earth's biosphere: what the hell is wrong with our species?
11-16 Rational spirituality welcomes a diversity of peoples, lifestyles, orientations and beliefs; irrational spirituality welcomes only people who have their own narrow backgrounds, beliefs and lifestyles.
11-15 Rational spirituality welcomes good science; irrational spirituality welcomes bad science.
11-14 Rational spirituality is open to new discoveries and new truths in the real world; irrational spirituality is closed to new discoveries and new truths.
11-13 Rational spirituality enhances and deepens human thought; irrational spirituality corrupts and degrades human thought.
11-12 Free will and common sense can be destroyed by drugs, peer pressure, disease, accident, dogmas, flawed genes and/or brainwashing.
11-11 We have a new breed of brainwashed wackos: those who believe that it is better to kill adult humans than it is to kill prehuman fetuses.
11-10 Living in a sick society is like living in a jail, army barracks, convent or monastery: you're expected to believe that being there is a good idea although you know it isn't.
11-9 Stand by your Klan: terrorize minorities every day, you brainwashed wackos.
11-8 The best part of being human is to learn how to experience as much of the truth as possible and to learn how to use experienced truths to benefit societies and lifeforms everywhere.
11-7 Women tend to be more rational in patriarchy, politics, sporting events, gangs, mobs and war.
11-6 Most men are rational except in patriarchy, love, politics, sporting events, gangs, mobs, drugs, religion and war.
11-5 The murder of the little girl in a bathroom at a Vegas casino was caused by several factors: flawed adoption procedures, flawed genes, alcohol, methamphetamines, greedy casino owners, corrupt politicians, etc.
11-4 Thanks a lot Lott and Newt for screwing up so that we can have a better Congress instead of a worse one.
11-3 Today we will see how many are puppets of the selfish patriarchs and their media and we will see how many vote for the interests of themselves and their children.
11-2 Today's question is: will we continue to overbreed, overexploit and overpollute the environment under the fascistic, superstitious, warmongering and irresponsible control of the selfish rich and thus commit biospheric species suicide or will we have the freedom, intelligence, cooperative ability and common sense to become peaceful, responsible and moral stewards of living expansion to the billions and billions of the universe's planets?
11-1 Advice to Hillary Clinton: stand by your fan - so you can be cool and collected every day.
10-31 It is much better to know the truth than it is to believe lies, fantasies, special-interest propaganda or false advertising.
10-30 Today's computer hard drives may be replaced someday with spinning crystal spheres: crystal balls for everyone.
10-29 The difference between advertising, political campaigns and brainwashing is getting tinier and tinier.
10-28 All collective beliefs are suspect until they are validated by good science.
10-27 You can tell how sick a society is by counting the lots: lots of pollution, lots of toxic waste, lots of landfills, lots of extinctions, lots of cruelty, lots of poverty, lots of homeless, lots of malnutrition, lots of mental illness, lots of deceptive advertising, lots of billionaires, lots of sweatshops, lots of superstition, lots of brainwashing, lots of prisoners, lots of mansions, lots of unwanted babies, lots of criminals, lots of weapons, lots of soldiers, lots of bigots, lots of dangerous drugs, lots of accidents, lots of bribed politicians, lots of lawyers, lots of wasted energy, lots of cancer and other preventable diseases, billions and billions of things wrong with lots of failed solutions.
10-26 William Shakespeare was only a bard in a gilded cage.
10-25 There are many ways for us to get stupid: a brain tumor, a virus, an accident, malnutrician, brainwashing, a bad government, bad corporation, bad religion, etc.
10-24 Without a global real democracy with environmental sanity the threat of stupidity remains imminent for all of us large and small.
10-23 Without global disarmament and peace the threat of death remains imminent for all of us from numerous weapons large and small.
10-22 Someday the reality of brutality will succumb to the idea that it will be better to live in a civilized world.
10-21 Someday the reality of warfare will succumb to the idea that it will be better to live in peace.
10-20 Someday the reality of living on one planet will succumb to the idea that it will be better to live on more than one planet.
10-19 In every engagement between ideas and reality, reality tends to win because while it is sometimes very hard to change ideas it is always very hard to change reality.
10-18 Yes, Virginia we do live under the rule of law but most of the laws are inhumane, stupid, convoluted, contrived, obsolete, unjust or irrelevant to modern life in what should be an enlightened democracy.
10-17 The law in the US would be a lot more just and would make a lot more sense if it were written by amateur novelists instead of by professional lawyers and bribed politicians.
10-16 Most of the politicos in Washington D.C. are corrupt and gaudy footsoldiers for our maniacally legalistic society created by America's serious overpopulation of anal retentive lawyers.
10-15 The Republican Party is dominated by corrupt and immoral politicians who suck money from billionaires who become ever richer from political favors.
10-14 Politics should be the art of coordinating appropriate use of technology: using technology to destroy environmental and ecological treasures or to make the rich richer and the poor poorer is not appropriate use.
10-13 If I have any doubt about who or what to vote for, I vote for the side that has received the smallest campaign contributions because it's usually the least corrupt side.
10-12 We will create real democracies with increasingly realistic planning for a sustainable future or we will create real disasters of increasingly horrendous scope.
10-11 All election commercials and statements made by groups or individuals who have a financial interest in the results are corrupted and should be ignored (this includes statements made by public officials and candidates who have received large campaign contributions).
10-10 Thinking in terms of growth as a solution to a global economy wracked by human overpopulation and environmental degradation is a recipe for disaster: we need to think in terms of stasis in human population, stasis in overall consumption and growth only in technological capability, knowledge, peace, creative wisdom, moral distribution of economic rewards and improved environmental stewardship.
10-9 Why is it that we have been able to achieve great heights of technological expertise yet most men remain primative, immoral, wasteful, polluting, violent and overconsuming?
10-8 The US sets the world standard of grossness with its gross atomic weapons, its gross refusal to agree to a no-first-strike policy, its gross pollution, its gross energy consumption, its gross commercials, its gross waste of natural resources, its gross politics, its gross prisons and its gross billionaires.
10-7 Always is a fantastically long period of time or is it just the instant called now?
10-6 History can be incredibly boring and/or depressing or it can provide some insight into what to do next.
10-5 Love is a nice name for a secure form of human solidarity.
10-4 Thank you, Ken Starr for confirming my suspicion that all or nearly all of the Republican members of the US House and Senate are corrupt and immoral financial power addicts.
10-3 A person who is a slave to the cult of physical force becomes dehumanized and thus is capable of performing any form of inhuman atrocity.
10-2 How you know when it's time to give up the drug or ideology of your choice: when naked apes start looking like pink elephants or when you start to think that guns solve problems.
10-1 All Bill and Monica did was go with the flow of Original Really Great American Sexual Mores (ORGASM).
9-30 When little Ken Starr was born, his parents had no idea that he would grow up to be our most famous chronicler of Silly Progressive American Sexual Mores (SPASM) but Silly Conservative that he became, he just had to cram all this titillating stuff into our gawking minds and spastic bodies.
9-29 A person needs something or someone to be proud of besides just owning piles of stuff and money.
9-28 Because the earth is a finite size, we cannot continue to have human population growth and human economic growth: if we do not plan for and achieve a stable human population and a stable human economy, there must inevitably be a catastrophic reduction of human biomass.
9-27 Once animal brains have achieved the ability to creatively adapt to environmental change then the development of high intelligence and consciousness is only a function of time and change.
9-26 When we can break free of the stagnation and terrors of the past and stop the relentless pursuit of false happiness and illusion then we will be able to clearly see and fully appreciate the wonders of reality.
9-25 I love it: a fifty-something power hunk and a twenty-something femme fatale sneaking around like a couple of overwatched teens and then getting caught by a bunch of zonker-eyed conservative politicos hell-bent on doing anything they can to increase their relative popularity with media-blasted voters.
9-24 The general path is simple: use the most real and most effective aspects of one's cultural background(s) and discard the most unreal, ineffective and hateful aspects - but the individual paths can be hellishly complicated.
9-23 It should be a crime for the rich to take advantage of poor people's financial disability by charging them exorbitant interest rates.
9-22 The ghoulish Ken Starr, Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky triad is the inevitable result of a society addicted to the relentless pursuit of patriarchal and financial dominion.
9-21 It has long been American foreign/military policy to be the dominant military power and to achieve US Government foreign policy objectives through overt/covert violence/threats: until this policy changes, there is no hope of disarmament, peace and environmental justice on planet earth.
9-20 Never accept an obsolete power structure or its practitioners as being anything else than what they are: corrupt examples of past mistakes.
9-19 Lawmakers, judges, prosecutors and cops should focus on the deadly deeds that murderers, rapists and polluters do - not the human frailties that beset us all.
9-18 If we are not decent enough to save the forest and the other precious links of the environment then we are not decent enough to save ourselves and we will have no future.
9-17 The most important qualification for a public official is that he/she has not been bought by Big Money: today most public officials flunk that qualification.
9-16 It is inexcuseable that any government, regardless of its political, ideological, ethnic, religious, philosophic, economic or greedy persuasion allows wholesale pollution and degradation of the environment.
9-15 All skills and efforts should be rewarded in proportion to the net good they do for the human and other biological communities.
9-14 Earnest advice to all you liberal and left-of-center guys out there: don't be horny or the right wing will crucify your ass.
9-13 The last time the goofy right assassinated a horny liberal president, they did it with their hired bullets; this time they are trying to assassinate him with their hired prosecutors, their hired media and their hired representatives/senators in congress.
9-12 Joy is nature's ploy to help us do the right thing; sadness is nature's ploy to help us recognize that someone is doing the wrong thing.
9-11 Right now the USA is taking the lead in bringing arms and war to the world: I will be proud of my country when it takes the lead in bringing disarmament and peace to the world.
9-10 Stupidity is a handicap caused by defective brain wiring/chemisty/genes and by false/dogmatic/brainwashed beliefs.
9-9 Temporary woodsy solitude gives stability to a rational, nature-oriented belief system.
9-8 Judges/prosecutors like Ken Starr who are addicted to greedy conspiracies, putting innocent/nonviolent people in jail, swollen egos and freakazoid fundamentalist beliefs are a menace to decent society.
9-7 The entrepreneurial and organizational skills of the financially apt should be rewarded in proportion to the real good they do for the human and other biological communities not in proportion to the amount they can deceive, exploit and degrade them.
9-6 Free name for a weird new musical group: twisted band-aid.
9-5 Nature spins us into these periodic economic calamities to show us how very badly our economic, social and governmental institutions need to be reformed.
9-4 It is utterly hypocritical for the government of the US to pretend that it opposes violence when it maintains the most violent war machine in existance.
9-3 Don't be stupid financially: Don't give a lot of your money to credit card companies by being a high-interest sucker.
9-2 If all of the Presidents who lied to the American people had resigned - that would mean that every President we have ever had resigned.
9-1 We need to embrace our mothers, lovers and other nonviolent comrades instead of our violent motherfuckers.
8-31 The cop code of silence cannot apply to cops who use excessive violence or otherwise break the law because those cops are no longer cops; they are criminals.
8-30 Now they're telling us a little bit of the truth about the billion-dollar spy sattelite that blew up recently (see 8-14 & 8-16).
8-29 A cop who uses excessive violence is every bit as evil as a criminal who uses excessive violence - in fact, a cop who uses excessive violence is a criminal.
8-28 The coming worldwide financial holocaust will mark the beginning of the end of stupidity, greed and exploitation in governments and in corporations.
8-27 Human civilization has many merits but if we continue to overpopulate and overexploit living habitats and other natural resources, nature will have no choice but to catastrophically reduce our numbers and our desecrations.
8-26 If any religious, political, philosophical, economic, family, ethnic, national or other group corrupts a man into domineering, beating, enslaving, killing or otherwise abusing a woman's human rights - that man should reform, denounce or abandon that group in the best interest of the welfare of the whole human community.
8-25 The real question about the Presidency is: who do we want to be President - a smart man-of-the-world like Bill Clinton, a dumb, straightlaced fundamentalist freakazoid like Dan Quail or a bright, compassionate lady like Hillary Clinton?
8-24 The future of earth's biosphere may depend on the creation of a roadless, pollutionless personal transportation system.
8-23 As long as the nations and groups of the world continue to bomb each other, it will continue to be clear that there is no moral difference between humans and other animals.
8-22 It is not acceptable that the USA and many other national governments resort to the use of uncivilized state terrorism.
8-21 We cannot have real disarmament and peace on our grossly wounded planet unless the most-heavily-armed nation (the US) disarms down to the level of the 2nd-most-heavily-armed nation (Russia) and then takes the lead in convincing the United Nations to monitor a comprehensive long-term process of disarmament througout the world.
8-20 Consumers are the ultimate polluters in the economic system, together with producers and governments the quality of their choices will determine whether humanity and the earth will survive in pleasant biodiversity.
8-19 We have the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences which gives out Oscars: we need a new institution in America called the Academy of Prosecutorial Skulduggery which gives out Kens; this year's winner for busting The Most Famous Politician Who Cheats On His Wife is, of course, Ken Starr.
8-18 Now we have the facts - a petty twit bureaucrat named Ken Starr spent many tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and four years to prove that Bill Clinton had a cheatin' time away from his wife: give me 10 thou and 6 months and I could prove the same thing about some married guy right in my own neighborhood.
8-17 To be a living world saved or not to be a living world, that is the question facing the earth.
8-16 The feds defense/intelligence agencies lie about lots of things because they have a compulsion to lie about things that don't mean diddly because they have lost all common sense and all concern about the real welfare and self-determination of the peoples of the world.
8-15 Current news indicates that the twits who run the tobacco industry have recently bought one or more federal judges: is there no end to the rampant corruption in our society?
8-14 The feds defense/intelligence agencies lied again: if the billion-dollar spy satellite loss "didn't compromise national security" that means having the satellite wouldn't help national security; why did they spend all that money?
8-13 Most of the world's atrocities are committed by fanatics: religious fanatics, nationalist fanatics, socialist/communist fanatics, capitalist fanatics, racial fanatics and ethnocentric fanatics.
8-12 One way to stop wars and other major atrocities is to somehow get people to stop group deification of rigid and unproven modes of thought, belief and action.
8-11 The prevailing Corporate and Government Propaganda says that global corporate sharks are wonderful predators cleaning up the human mistakes but the reality is that global corporate sharks are creating the environmental and social messes that will doom us all if we, the people do not act to curtail their deadly corruption of the environment and of social freedom and of morality.
8-10 The prime source of evil in the United States of America today is the tobacco corporations and their hired immoral prostitutes like Kenneth Starr and their other governmental and fundamentalist allies.
8-9 If we do not create a world free from greed and pollution, we will create a world free from human life.
8-8 An America littered with dehumanizing prisons is an America creating its own disaster.
8-7 The thoughtful squishy stuff inside our skulls will create the sparkling green splendor of a magnificent future or the ugly squalor of a poisoned, lifeless, ashy earth.
8-6 Journalism is a quest to discover how to provide the truth about what is happening everywhere to all of the people.
8-5 The Arts is a quest to discover how to provide enlightenment, emotion and happiness to all of the people.
8-4 Government is a quest to discover how to provide justice and a future to all of the people, all of the businesses, all of the sciences, all of the arts and all of the environment.
8-3 Business is a quest to discover how to provide better products and services more efficiently without wrecking the environment.
8-2 Science is a quest to discover the details of reality.
8-1 Groups of people who share true beliefs can cause wonderful things to happen but wars and other human atrocities are caused by people who share false beliefs.
7-31 The human community is blessed with many alternate creative viewpoints: each and every viewpoint deserves to be heard; that's what free speech is all about.
7-30 The disadvantages of being human are that we are destroying the environment and we are still fighting stupid wars.
7-29 The advantages of being human are that we have more: brains, neural connections, community, science, technology, imagination, learning, transportation, choice and power.
7-28 We will know that we have a real democracy when the people control the government and the power of government is used to control corporate money instead of the present situation where the power of corporate money is used to control the government and the people.
7-27 An English language writer is a language specialist compelled to tweak aspects of the English language code.
7-26 We are compelled by genetics and environment to do all of our major activities and thoughts: free will applies to choosing some of the details.
7-25 We should not be too upset by the uglier circumstances of our lives: we are, after all, animals compelled to tweak our genetic, computer, language and scientific codes; compelled to follow the orders of the dominant members of our herds and culled by the many predators that still exist, large and small.
7-24 It is OK to hate a christian or jew or atheist or any other member of a group that one is compelled to demonize because hate is part of the human condition but it is not OK to deny Human Rights to anyone.
7-23 A religion based on proven truths, environmental protection as the highest commandment, universal human rights, uncorrupted ethical guidelines and global solidarity in peace would be clearly superior to usual religions which are based on superstititious speculation, environmental ignorance, rights for patriarchal and economically-advantaged elites, blessing of corrupt exploitation and a narrow ethnic/nationalistic exclusivism which continues the cycles of war.
7-22 Opposition to any lifestyle or belief should not extend to denying Human Rights to its practitioners.
7-21 Choosing to have a future means choosing to coexist with a great diversity of individual humans, with a great diversity of human societies/groups and with a great diversity of other life forms in our expanding earthly and heavens-wide universe.
7-20 Everyone needs to be in synch with some system of thought and action: if you are not in synch with your genetic/family/religious/ethnic/national roots then you must develop synchronicity with a newer system that demonstrates environmental, ethical and rational viability in freedom, now and for the future.
7-19 Science fiction stories provide road maps that show us the way forward to a better/worse future depending on how we save/destroy the environment and on how we nurture/poison compassion.
7-18 The press is becoming corrupted by the same disrespect for the truth that has infected corporations and governments, especially those aspects of corporations and governments that are obsessed with secrecy.
7-17 The universe spins with joy or tragedy depending on the focus of your current needs and on the values entrained in your whole experience.
7-16 If a society severely punishes every transgression of a rigid and unnatural code of decency, that society has sunk so low that it is in desperate need of basic reform.
7-15 We should be happy campers in the natural world not creators of great stressors which wreck the integrity of the living natural world.
7-14 If there is a compelling reason to believe in a god or gods, from whence does this compulsion spring?
7-13 Over a million gods have been created by people: is there a compelling reason to believe in any of them?
7-12 Human bodies and flirtations do not create sex crimes: corrupt and brutal human acts of domination create sex crimes.
7-11 USA 98: 40% of the people are sane and decent; 30% have gone crazy with greed; 30% have gone crazy with envy; deprogram a third of the greedy + envious and we'll have a country ready for the 21st century.
7-10 One example of the numerous sources of injustice: a genuine criminal can get off if someone thinks he/she is handsome/pretty; an innocent person can be convicted if people think he/she is ugly.
7-9 In the United States - laws, lawyers, prosecutors, juries, judges, jails, guards, legislators and politicians have so many defects that they often help to create "criminals" rather than help to deter them: the system of "justice" is rotten to the core.
7-8 How do we keep human beings from flying into an Autopilot Rage?
7-7 It is not progressive to make the rich richer by denying health care and other decencies to the poor and lower middle class while poisoning and otherwise degrading our environments.

6-10 If decent and progressive people do not stand up and say no to the fascistic guns/weapons/control freaks who run this country and who are the leaders of the parasitic exploitation of the physical, biological and human resources of the earth, the earth is doomed to experience the greatest calamity in its history in the 21st century.
