Caricatures
I am not political because I really do not believe that politics can solve problems. Yes government can solve some problems and sometimes it stumbles into a consensus that allows it to happen. Mostly politics is “who will control the applecart” and neither side wants to upset the applecart, just control it. Control the applecart and you have access to power and wealth. The zeal of gaining or keeping control has led to some serious splits in our country as we have all been pitted against each other in many ways. To maintain the divide and hold on to the power our political factions have reduced their opposition to caricatures. Surfing the Sunday morning talk shows the left is talking about a right that is the caricature of the right it created, and the right is talking about a left that is similarly imagined to be something that it is not. For sure – the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing, or even talking about. Our healing and reunification will come when we stop trying to talk to the caricatures we have invented and realize we all really want the same things. All we have to do is cooperate in making them happen outside politics. Dialogue begins when we stop fearing the fictitious caricatures we have created of each other.

- Standing Rock
If I were younger, I would be there. I am there in Spirit. I never thought Waco would happen. I never thought Kent State would happen. They did happen and so did Wounded Knee and the Trail of Tears. The indigenous people know more about life that the secular materialists who are opposing them. We...
- God Is Not A Super Hero
There is a young woman named, Jenifer with a stage four cancer…..I have joined a prayer chain for her. When you see a beautiful young woman who has lost her hair and is going through the struggle to live many would ask, “How can God let that happen?” God didn’t let it happen – we... - Some Things That Bother Me
It bothers me that the government that tolerated the decadence and filth of the Occupy Wall Street protest and even tried to sneak it into history as something important and spontaneous, is the same government that is trying to breakup the Standing Rock protest. It also bothers me that the news organizations are going...
- The Race Nobody Wins
On our planet there is only one race - the human race. Too be a racist one has to be stupid enough to follow a religion or political belief that divides us in hopes of validating a concept of superiority. Give it up! There is one life on this Earth and it is all part...
- Politics Is the Problem, Not the Answer
Watched most of the Vice Presidential Debate tonight 10/4/16. I am more convinced that ever before that politics as we know it cannot solve our problems. In deed, I am more convinced that ever that politics as we know it is the cause of most of our problems. Ronald Reagan was one of the best...
- Pray for Your Vitamins?
I am not a political person, and truly believe that it is far too late in time to solve problems with politics. Perhaps our problems are indeed caused by politics. I have no comment on the “Jobs, jobs, jobs” situation and frankly see a vivid comparison between the partisan posturing in Washington and the World...
- Sunshine Vitamin or Drug?
Perhaps the most convincing proof of the effectiveness of dietary supplements for maintaining health and in some cases curing disease conditions is the obvious trend among the Big Pharma giants that are packaging supplements as drugs. This could also explain why the FDA and the Congress are testing the waters for new regulations that would...
- The Criminalization of Natural Products
I took note of a couple of things that have taken place recently and found myself deeply disturbed. First, the German government admitted that the E Coli scare that has held headlines for the past few days did not originate on organic sprouts. Anybody with knowledge of food and bacteria knows that E Coli develops...
- If It Poisons a Bug, It Will Poison Us
I am blogging this piece directly from Jeffrey Smith. Please take it seriously. Why do we have fewer bees and birds? Why do we have so many children with unusual symptoms. If you mess with the food, you mess with the life forms that consume it... Dangerous Toxins From Genetically Modified Plants Found in Women and...
- Corn: Shucked Again…
I am saving spare change in a big jar, and hoping to be able to afford to buy gas for my garden tractor to cut the grass this summer. Filling a 5 gallon can costs what it once cost to fill the car. And I do not expect to be saved by “biofuel” or any...
