...still small enough
to get our arms around...
To be truly radical is to make hope possible, rather than despair convincing.” ~ Raymond Williams
Small is beautiful, when small is skilled and dedicated... There is so much artificial and plastic crap around, the human spirit yearns for the homespun and the real. ~Gene Logsdon→
I've observed that people tend to live at one of two extremes in the spectrum of life: those who live on the edge, and those who avoid the edge. Those who live on the edge are hanging out in the most dangerous and unstable places — yet they're also often the most powerful agents of change, because the edge is where change is happening; away from the edge, things are naturally unchanging. ~Thom Hartmann
What is not worth doing, is not worth doing well. ~Abraham Maslow→
Society is like a stew: If you don't stir it up every now and then, the scum rises to the top.~Edward Abbey
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ~Buckminster Fuller→
We cannot live for ourselves alone. Our lives are connected by a thousand invisible threads, and along these sympathetic fibers, our actions run as causes and return to us as results.~Herman Melville
Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. ~Wendell Berry→ -

Very happy to see Abby Martin’s Russia Today show on the blog. My daughter knows her and personally dislikes her, so I have to be measured in my praise, but I try not to miss any of her shows. I just go to RT’s archives by clicking on Shows on the menu bar. I also really don’t miss Max Keiser’s economics show. I also consult their live news show frequently. Many times I have been saved from some fantastic propaganda campaign that way. Enjoy.
