Upon arriving at the edge of anything, it can't be helped but to wonder what's beyond.
Maybe there is only one story, of which we are all ultimately experiencing? - treacle said...

IB - that's exactly what I started to draft for today's post... I really think everything is connected and we simply can't seperate ourselves from others around us or what is happening in the world. We are part of the meta-narrative, we just need to see it.

That's one wicked uvula you've got there!
Best have it circumcised before you come to Texas or they're liable to do it for you. And they are everywhere.
My avoidance of doctors has more to do with my allegiance to the philosophy that ignorance is bliss than anything else. Besides, I figure it's just a matter of time before the prognosis is negative, and who needs that?
- La Sirena said...

Deek,
They're supposed to be giving you regular blood tests on that med. Also, sore throats in and of themselves are a(n) (side) effect.
Oh, your poor uvula...
Doctors are often a bizarre combo of arrogant/ignorant. I work for docs and I'm always having to tell them very diplomatically that they're totally fucked.
Your GGF is right tho. Go get a check up.
I avoid MDs, like IB. I recommend seeing nurse practitioners. Way more practical experience, way more accurate diagnoses, way more compassion. In the States they can prescribe -- tho they don't seem to unneccessarily. They can always refer you to an MD if needed, and they usually list that MDs clinical flaws for you ahead of time (diplomatically, of course) so you can work around the good doctor's personality disorder. - Deek Deekster said...

Geezers - you are very kind but it's not my uvula.. "I have been touched by the merest corner of this plague garment" - I just picked up the same virus! Send your kind comments to Parky...

Indigobusiness said... -
Geezers?
Was that really called for? I think you just make matters worse with that sort of low blow.
Regardless, I did look for a proper place to leave Parky a kind and concerned comment, but was stopped short by this photo.
I can only assume the reason you aren't in it is you were behind the lens, most likely in equally resplendent finery. - La Sirena said...

This was such a sad (and infuriating) story.
Unfortunately, it seems every war, every battle we (the US) engages in, our members of the military come back with equally chilling stories of incomprehensible violence against the innocent. If bartending taught me anything, it's that.
Support the troops, my ass. No one attempts to help our ex-military deal with the psychological fallout, and next thing you know, some guy is crumbling before a twenty-something bartender with no antidotes but whiskey and ears.
And meanwhile the warmongers cut funding to the VA.
Kudos to people like Key and Watada who refuse to participate in this senseless bloodbath. - Indigobusiness said...
-
Any institution that instills in one human an eager willingness to kill another is a pox on humanity.
This story is stark example of the pathology of war, and it eventually comes home to roost.
It strikes me as supreme cowardice to refuse the possibilities of peacemaking, in favor of warmongering and the refusal to allocate, at least, equal resources to both.
This story ripped my guts out.
In war, there are only bad guys. Bad guys, and those who lay down their guns.
The worst guys are the profiteers. - g said...

do the first glimmerings of a renewal of all that is good in the apast 2,000 years REALLY have tocome packaged in culmination of a very loud and strident blood soaked wrapping... how utterly depressing. I guess my allocated five minutes of forgetting about the world are over.
- Indigobusiness said...

The world may be forgetting about us.
Good point, g. I had similar thoughts, yet my prophetic inklings are even more dire.
Lo... - me hogging the computer said...
-
I kinda prefer to think another world is blossoming... we spend far too much time despairing at the things that are going wrong and not enough time marvelling at the beauty of the human spirit in its various pockets around the globe striving to make a difference. Maybe I am just too idealistic.
- Indigobusiness said...
-
You hogging- I think it's two simultaneous conscientious modes:
One is a constant form of wonder/blessing/prayer for all that is.
The other is a welling undercurrent of grieving sadness focused on our failure as stewards of the planet.
Tibetans find bliss in recognizing this steady-state of grief. It is counterintuitive. -
- Indigobusiness said...
-
This stirred me up. I'm going to rant a bit:
To me, it goes beyond judgement of issues, and gets down to honestly embracing what is...and accepting it.
The only aspect that causes me to despair is our head-in-the-sand approach to unpleasant realities. It doesn't serve anything to paint the cataclysmic trend in pretty colors. What will be will be, and that's ok with me, it's in our best interest to be honest in our going forth (in a collectively healthy way).
After all, who am I to judge what is best, overall, in the long term? Maybe our species will ultimately be seen as some sort of parasitical blip on the radar? The only prayer I've ever understood and fully embraced is God's will be done.
I believe in the inherent wisdom of the unfolding substance of our experience. I trust it beyond all else. My gripe is with our immaturity in the face of it. - Indigobusiness said...

- Indigobusiness said...

I think there may have been a terrible misunderstanding here: we're talking cooties here, not cooters.
That would've been rude, unbidden. But now that it's been exposed, cooters and cooties do have their dark and tangled and sordid history...and are certainly not entirely unrelated.
While boys surely do have their fair share of cooties, it was precisely because they're generally thought to have more than their fair share that the original point was made...playfully, and in response to the article.
I hope we can put this to rest, understood. I'm going to wash.

You didn't have to explain but Thank You. I sometimes don't get your american words that's all & stupidly tried to access the link from work (because I am impatient) and couldn't get through. I never EVER thought you were being rude.

Smelly? I beg your pardon. I never said I was smelly.
In fact, I smell like roses...even in the worst of times. You just made me feel dirty, by forcing me into a corner and making me explain.

Now that any woman can have perfect lifelike breasts in any shape or size, I see the rare flower becoming the most attractive, and soon that will be...flat chested females? No kidding, I'll bet in 5-10 years after the doctors have performed surgery on every woman, then it will suddenly be hot to get your breasts reduced to nothing. The surgeons gotta keep making money someway, and women gotta keep looking unique and different from their friends and rivals...
- Indigobusiness said...

Probably so.
I predict women will someday grow penis shaped tits...just because they can. - g said...

I predict that men will grow breasts before women contemplate growing a willy.
- Indigobusiness said...

It will all happen in the continuating frenzy of body modification madness, g.
Parts is parts, I reckon, they're already somewhat interchangeable.
And while I'm not entirely unsympathetic to a girl having a bit of "work" done, the plastic surgery fad has gotten completely ridiculous and bizarre...and pathologically compulsive. Like phony on steroids.
Just to be clear on this, my little joke was about willy shaped tits, not willys. And it was pointed at the trendiness of this bs.
Visit any plastic surgeons office, or at least the one I did once, it was like the Village of the Damned. -
-
Scary, scary, and even more scary. I'm still surprised at the ease people go under the knife and make permanent changes (well, permanent in the sense that they can never go back to "original") That goes for tattoos, too...I don't have anything against them, but just that it seems such a shot in the dark that you'll end up with something that will be out of style...like, what if people in the 80s got permanent mullets. Yeah, I know you can get it erased somewhat, but still...
- Indigobusiness said...
-
Yeah, Joe, and what's really scary is how once they start carving things up, they can't seem to stop.
They are trying to fill a psychological hole in their soul, I figure, like some do with food.
I can't understand this desperate effort to draw attention. But then I've always been too damn shy, so I try to understand.
Maori tribesman tattoos and ritual ornamental scarification in Africa, and elsewhere, I respect and value. I feel far differently about this other form.
You say that like it's a bad thing, g.

I mentioned this to you several months ago. We're working on a trial with one of these medications -- this type of med might improve thinking and concentration in people with alzheimers and schizophrenia.
Brains have several cannibinoid receptors -- just for processing marijuana, I guess. One of the ways they tested if the med was truly inhibiting stimulation of these receptors was...they placed people's heads in these plastic bubbles, INFUSED them with enough ganj fumes for an entire Sunsplash festival and attached them to a kind of high-o-meter. Once the meter was buried on the left, the testees were given a dose of these new meds and within a half hour, the high-o-meter read something like, "Not at all high, anymore."

Awesome rules for being human; that really fits what I would wish life to be like, too. On the other hand, I am suspicious that some personalities/souls sitting around in the non-physical realm decided it would be fun to play WAR, or SOAP OPERA, or WALL STREET TYCOON...not to be evil, but just that not everybody is playing the same game.
I think it's like, the universal creator (God, but even God has become such a loaded word these days...) has a large studio apartment (the Earth) and there's a group of ballerinas who want to practice ballet there, and God says be my guest. And there's also a group of boys that want to play dodge ball in the same room, and God says be my guest to them too. And the ballet people are yelling at the dodge ball boys to stop disrupting things, and they're sure they're right. And likewise for the boys--they don't understand why the girls don't want to join their dodge ball game.
I think life is a lot like that--there are people playing with very different agendas, and it's confusing and tough when the room gets crowded sometimes. Just my $.02. - Comment Deleted

Seriously, I think what you touch on is what keeps most from letting go in full trust of their instincts: the idea that it all might be just a cruel joke...in many forms

Well Indi -- I've been talking about this all day. When I had read a while back that violent crime was down, I saw that light at the end of the tunnel. After hearing this news today, obviously it was just another train.
I myself am feeling so much rage inside of me lately that I am not suprised -- and I am a very nice person.
Have you noticed something very obvious that has also been happening in our world lately? GOD has been front and center, worn on just about everyone's sleeve, to the point that it seems it's all everyone is fighting about. MY GOD, NO MY GOD blah blah blah.
Until GOD and $ are completely removed from our world, I can't help but feel very discouraged about our future on this planet. Who ever is doing this 'science experiment' (I believe we earthlings are probably some 12 year old's science project from another universe)well, it must be looking for an ending. I wish they'd tune into us. I'd like to give it a few ideas to consider on how to get an A.
I have now become a neo-pagan, and I'm pretty sure I am also a xenophobic now, in the sense that I now hate all people equally. All except you guys -- not that you're not people -- you know what I mean.....
I'm going to buy a gun, a little purse of gold, and update my passport.

I'm in full agreement, JC, I might just frame it differently.
GOD is like a word said over and over until it loses all connection to meaning.
That's no fault of God, we've just thrown the baby out with the bathwater.
And btw, even pagans revere God, they just call by other names.
How is it we trivialize those things which truly matter? Not just the real meaning behind God, but things like real prosperity. Ever notice how crime skyrockets under Republican administrations? Remember Reagan's last term? They couldn't build prisons fast enough.
Bush sings his empty song of a burgeoning economy while he prints money at a smoking clip, and fuels the figures building war implements, and the price of a house is through the roof.

Indi - did you read the comments over at Huffpo?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/josh-sugarmann/crime-is-backhow-long-c_b_36719.html
The majority (not too many comments for what I consider an important post) are blaming the rise on illegal immigrants who are on meth and the lack of police protection because of budget strains. Then, as usual, it turns to the gun control issue.
It's hopeless. Even I wrapped my comment up with buying a gun, albiet tongue-in-cheek.
One very profound statement:
11,535 law enforment agancies??
Let's see there are 50 states so there are over 2,000 law enforcement agencies per state???
Doesn't that seem like alot!
And crime is still rising?
Well it sure can't be because there are not enough agencies. Wonder how much that costs.
and then a very interesting comment followed:
.....The police told me that the recent rise in crime in our area is because of 1. Lack of resources to hire a sufficient number of officers. 2. A rise in the methamphetamine trade coming up through Mexico. 3. A rise in gang membership, due in our community to the children of illegal immigrants who have no support system and whose parents are often not at home because they have more than one job. I am simply repeating what I have been told,.........
UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE.
I can just imagine how this will play out. The right to bear arms will now be challenged (AGAIN!) This is a perfect argument to take this right away, leaving citizens with no protection from our fascist government. (maybe I should buy one before it's too late?) - Indigobusiness said...
-
I rarely read the comments, but you cite many legitimate concerns. Meth is a seriously evil problem.
I tend to see the overarching problem in terms of a cultural breakdown. These are symptoms of our nation's rampant greed and social selfishness.
The shit we're in grew out of the concerns that filled the streets with protesters in the 60s. We ignored that wake-up call, and we're paying for it in spades.
The unenlightened rose, like grease, to the top. They hold sway in power positions and their world has become manifest. We talk about the symptoms while the root grows more deeply entrenched.
If our soul as a people had not become so diluted, we would rise up and insist on meaningful change. But, we won't, because we've become a vain, selfish, and petty lot...in the aggregate.

You seem to have a sincere and unique vision. I just hope you'll press on in your take on things, and not let the world smooth your edge.
Nobody really works it out...fully, I reckon. Maybe some do, but most offer their best in simply forming the same questions from a fresh angle. That's plenty, I figure.
My comment was a boiled-down joke from a much longer, more serious comment. Lately, my opinions have been falling so flat I've begun to rein them in a bit.

I don’t deny the world is going through climate change. I just don’t think humans are affecting it one way or the other. A volcano puts out more pollution that a coal plant’s smokestack.
# Indigus Says:

It’s more complicated than that, Holywriter. The Industrial Age has had an undeniable impact on climate, all facts considered.
The chlorine molecules in the upper atmosphere that destroy the ozone are not only from spray deodorant, etc… Every Space Shuttle launch unleashes a gargantuan quantity of ozone destroying chemicals. Jet planes are impacting our atmosphere horrendously. Skin cancer rates are skyrocketing Downunder. Australia and New Zealand are becoming as dangerous as Antarctica, in terms of places to live, and may soon be nearly uninhabitable.
Our atmosphere shrank in thickness by over a mile between the mid 80s and the mid 90s.
Volcanos do their part, but humans have done theirs, as well. Look it up.

Sorry to be so preachy but volcanic activity has always been around, and the argument that it gets humans off the hook for the recent climate lurch is a lame, irresponsible, and unenlightened one.
# Joe Says:
November 18th, 2006 at 7:50 pm
Let me preface this by saying I’m definitely not an expert on the environment. But, just from a pure logic standpoint, it seems the C02 levels in ice-core data and the climb in temperature over the last century and a half have a proportional ratio.
Now, that could be because the global warming caused CO2 levels to rise, or the CO2 levels caused the global warming, or, less likely, something entirely different. However, humans are responsible for belching out tons of CO2 (in proportions that rival volcanic output…). And I don’t know of anybody running a gigantic air conditioning machine in the open, so, for me, that makes me lean toward the human-added CO2 at least in part causing the global warming. I’m probably still missing a lot of facts, though, because I’m not well read up on it. Yet.
What I am a little surprised to hear from so many people is that there’s no way us little ol’ humans could cause a big enough change in the atmosphere to cause global warming. This coming from the same generation who will swear straight up that the hairspray their mom used to keep her beehive hairdo aloft single-handedly ripped a giant hole in the ozone over the north pole.
Seems if refrigerators and aerosol cans can put a hole in the sky, we should have no problem believing those millions of cars and coal plants can cause the temps to rise.
But again, this is not science–this is my speculation without all the facts. Contradicting information is welcome, and please jump in here and correct and educate. It’s like Dragnet….I want facts, damnit! Facts!!!! :-) We can handle the truth! Bring it on! :-)
# Indigus Says:
November 22nd, 2006 at 10:24 pm
One thing the ice-cores show is that never have CO2 levels been this high without an ice-age soon following. And the transition to full-blown ice-age condition is swift. As quickly as a decade or two.
I don’t pretend to be an expert, but I first began studying this in 1990 when I received a packet of info which included a study on ice-core data, as well as the Gulf Stream as climate engine. The salinity of the North Atlantic is what drives the Gulf Stream. With the melting of the ice cap, salinity levels have dropped precipitously and slowed the Stream to a near stop. There are only a couple of “chimneys”, i.e. water columns of falling high-salinity water, left functioning.
Look for wicked winters in the UK and N Europe. It could get ugly real fast.
Don’t let the warming throw you, as counter-intuitive as it seems.

I’m always struck by how so many people refuse to consider what they don’t wish to perceive, or that threatens their comfort zone.
We seem to be caught up in a psychodrama scripted by forces we are unwilling to acknowledge.
It seems we are focused on the wrong ring of the circus. The important things hide in plain sight.
February 15th, 2007 at 6:49 pm
Indigobusiness: I’m a little stumped, too. People have no problem believing the President can deceive…nobody denies Watergate, or the Lewinsky scandal. But bring up a big deception and you’re labeled unpatriotic. Didn’t Hitler, or one of his pals, say something like, the bigger the lie, the less people will suspect it’s a lie? The Third Reich was pretty evil, but that doesn’t mean we citizens can’t learn a lot from them; our elected leaders have apparently studied their tactics thoroughly.
February 16th, 2007 at 7:27 am
Yeah, Joe- It’s our built-in desire for a decent environment. The skilled trickery is in our face, on a daily basis these days, yet many just abjectly refuse to face it.
If there are forces in our govt dark minded enough to cook up schemes like Operation Northwoods, no telling what lurks in the hearts of our current overlords. No telling how twistedly Machiavellian their true motives and hidden agendas are.
We will never sustain ourselves as a viable country unless we get back to some sort of moral imperative as a basis for our collective course. This dog-eat-dog, catch-as-catch-can, controller philosophy is killing us.
