CONSIDER IMBOLC
In this season of Imbolc, we can remember we are the drivers of our lives. The choice can be ours as to how we wish to live and what we believe.
WHEN MONEY IS FREE SPEECH BUT SPEECH ISN’T FREE
Control of information promotes Establishment stories.
GLOBAL REALITY SHOW
Quoted From Martin Luther King, Jr:
“For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.”
FRESH VIEW
While monopolies are ignored and price gouging has become a way of life under capitalism, workers are subjected to restraint, scrutiny, and exploitation compatible with hierarchical predatory behavior of big business and corporations. Non-compete agreements are only one example.
PEACE AND WAR
One believes the following book by Tolstoy was banned in Russia. Oligarchs (those who steer public opinion for personal promotion) are similar.
A LIFETIME OF TSUNDOKU
Here’s the deal…..after a lifetime of self-denying reading space for topics of personal interest, in order to dedicate time and energy to career studies and obligations to our capitalistic system, retirement has offered the lull to read that which is personally enjoyable and interesting. Nothing being perfect, one grapples with the self-imposed sense of guilt that has been a prerequisite to earning a living over said 45 years.

RECLAIM LIFE
Because a better USA is possible, some people challenge a culture in which we know the price of everything and the value of nothing.—-

The conversation around paid sick days for railroad workers can spark healthy discussion.
QUESTION DICTATORSHIP
The US public has been hearing endless descriptions of life in our nation, and the exceptional supremacy over lives of other people around the globe. In FACT, the rest of the globe is often so informed of US exceptionalism. MSM that represents the D&R duopoly are the mouthpiece for this information. But more and more we begin to hear alternative views that seem legitimate when we consider there must be more than one view. Consider a few other perspectives…
HUMAN RIGHTS INSPIRATION
Human rights and natural rights inform our democratic Constitutional republic.
MYTH AND NEWS
Myth can be seen as a psychic view of life as experienced throughout humanity. Considering recent incorrect political polling information that was broadcast by MSM, can hierarchical news reports accomplish the same end of internalized mass myth?
DEFINE INDIGENOUS
Americans may have an unusual view of Indigenous people and may use the description as a noun rather than an adjective. When we view the rest of the world in provincial thinking, are we skewed, or is everyone else?
