Man kills his dog with sledgehammer. an elderly half sane man attempted to take his dog out via his hammer and the community goes nuts while 30,000 children unnecessarily suffer and die each day. While precious 'food chain link species' go extinct each day... while in USA OUR rights have been sold to the highest bidder (multinational corporations) and what does the average suburban American community get 'up in arms' about? Animal abuse from a half crazed elderly man?, Being angered about 'abuse of life' is a hugely valid concern for sure, but these lost souls have no idea that their pets and the industry they come from are dealing us HUGE animal abuse (and so much more) in and of themselves. please see my ezine based on this story and philosophy.

UPDATE 12-2012 - It appears I either eat the results from my 'failed' hand surgery or bring the extremely profitable culprits into our 'court of public opinion".. all by my lonesome?... go get em Kev! 

read on...

Its the 3rd month of 2012

Whats new? 

MY surgery.. failed surgery.

It appears having a thumb surgery fail and your hand(s) in worse condition than before you started does not warrant any consideration from the hospital, or their surgeon, beyond a lil physical therapy. Well thanks a bunch to the Risk and Management folk at the U-M hospital (Orthopeadic Clinic surgeon Adams) for the disfigured hand, lots more pain and ALL the problems that go with having to use ones hands in daily life because... y'all failed on numerous levels... So I'm basically fucked unless...  

Notice the bent thumb at the meta carpals base... that's not right, because they sawed a bit of bone off in order to put that bump (the one you see on my hand) in properly.. they failed to keep it in the base of my thumb. 'The anchovy process' as its called. The deal is this: I was never told the surgery could FAIL and never given the option of simply cleaning up the arthritic area at the thumb base without 'gathering tendons from my forearm'... which would constitute a mass of scar tissue that would(should) become a joint and...  do so IN the proper place IN between the bones in my hand and... not on top of my hand like a fucking carbuncle!

again ...

 the bump you see protruding from my hand is permanent. It comes from the surgery where they take strips of tendon from your forearm and make a ball of 'anchovies' that are stuffed into the area that was cleaned up at the base of the thumb. The mass then becomes scar tissue which acts as a joint...cool huh? Now what happened was that the anchovies popped out... what the hell! 
ck it out...  instead of surgery success we have surgery failure and... a patient with far less motor skills, far more pain and NO ...NO fucking HELP from those who failed. Now I hear that its not medical negligence  as the surgery seemed to have been performed properly, yet something went wrong and things do go wrong ... Hell, I have had many things go wrong 'on my end' be it personal or business and guess what? ... I made the proper adjustments in order to correct the wrong.... ck this out... everyone involved has been paid accept me...the victim, and why would I get paid? IN order for me to buy apparatus to help me live a normal existence(like before the surgery) until...they repaired ME when and IF they could... 

I only asked for a lil help from them to live a 'close to normal existence' until it may be repaired. By the by... no one on their end has made a definitive plan for this scenario and I don't think they ever have until....they've been pushed...and there's been some shenanigans along the way. No taking responsibility on the surgeons end... and MY being led to believe that THE Risk and Management team(claims manager David Meyer ya prick!) WAS GOING TO HELP ME ... to help me BUY THE APPARATUS and then some...
Whats a man to do?
Law suit re: negligence or malpractice is out of the question I have been told by a dozen attorney's and... I would have a tough time against legal teams that 'fuck people over for a living'
So I can bring em to BIG court,  uff da or... to small claims court for 10-15,000.00 now.. each participant(who in the fuck does this small claims court crap?... meaning, each and everyone involved in my pain is accountable for helping me towards normality so... hey, pay up... help me get to where I was before the failed surgery and do it NOW.... not next year. One could do this because its the right thing to do or... be forced to do it  as is happening here. 


but how about this plan... I would Go and tell the truth in.. 
the court of public opinion...  How much revenue do you think they would lose if I use my mass communication skills? 
hundreds of thousands of dollars.. .easy...  and thats just the short term loss. 

So this is my choice... the court of public opinion where I will tell the truth and nothing but the truth and we shall see what others think of the U-M Orhto Clinic and those involved or.. 
THEY could simply help me with typing and biking and gardening/food, masturbating(help!), misc physical tasks etc. and all this really means is for them to pay me $omething NOW, and ..make sure they (or someone else) repairs my hand while they take off the scar tissue too. 
The Risk and Management team, the surgeon and all those involved will be contacted by me with a very detailed plan of how , when and where I will be exposing their truth in.. .THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION... 
WILL POST HERE TOO

time to contact them and.. get to work.

back to you in a bit

logical right?

Update - 10-20-2011 
remember this: WE the people have the rights and the government has the'privilege' of governing us. How did that ever get turned around? It's because we allowed it via... capitalism and the 'for profit' economy. 

It appears that without a chunk of dough I will NOT be able to challenge the State of Minnesota on OUR right to drive vs. The state given privilege to do so.. How can the states legally give us back Our Right to travel (anywhere and on any roads) without Due Process and...then charge us for it? its because we simply allow them to do so. 

Wake up people.. please. 

Did you give the state your right to travel only to have them return it as a privilege?  And then it...cost you money and.... they attach costly frivolous tickets to pay for...what? The roads are already paid for.... Its to increase their control over us.... Its a corporate way to earn revenue and .... its a scam. Most of it has lil to do with.... safety. wake the fuck up!

I am looking for assistance on this matter. Research for court and implementing the protocol necessary to drive as MY right and not my privilege.... Looking for drivers who have been fraudulently ticketed and or who have lost their license.

10-25-2011 - Oh forget it man!

What you see here is an overview of what has happened to me regarding my right to drive in the last few months. I will be following this with  updates and hopefully a manual which shows YOU how to avoid having the governemnt illegally and fraudulently force you to pay for the privilege of driving when its YOUR RIGHT to do so. Currently YOU pay for tickets, tabs, licensing,  fines, forced to pay for insurance, court, towing and really anything that has to do with driving and licensing etc.
Driving is your right and not a privilege by the supreme law of the land....the constitution. This RIGHT to drive is upheld and acknowledged by many judges and state leaders including Governor Granholm of MIchigan. I've only just begun  my research and yet I can already see that I(we) should have  known this information many years ago. All of us should have been made aware of  this as well as .... lots of other manipulative crap regarding our rights.

The highway patrol pulled me over as I turned the corner to head home. I pulled into the S(A)gas station and he approached  and asked me for my drivers license. I aksed him why I was pulled over and he said ...are you the owner of this vehicle and of course I said yes... but he never answered me as to WHY he pulled me over. He said that my license was suspended and   I replied "yes, I know this" He was a decent dude , but one should  never trust any law enforcement officer when it comes to your rights, and so I waited in my van while he ran the what?... the plates I guess, for  I never produced a document that showed I was ME...let alone the owner of the vehicle. HE returned with two tickets, one for driving under suspension and one for no proof of  insurance. HE mentions he should have towed the vehicle , but if I would head home after he left the scene ... he may nto be able to see me driving the van again and  Iwould avoid being ticketed again,...and again... . All n all a seemingly nice break... but was it? Of course not. He had used his radar to see plates in front and in back of him and pulled the van over... not me. Is the van illegall driving down the road? Is it not legal for the street? No..it was perfectly legal from the otuside. So here I am with two more tickets to defend that really should not be there at all.
The state operates the entire driving program under a fradudulent arrangement ..never knwoing and nver telling anyone that this is so.... and if so... by what law? LEts tery the constitution although I ma not fully understanding this yet.. Many judges have dismissed cases of drivers operating vehicles with no license, because they are operating within the supereme law of the land,,, the fifth ammendent. But these drivers have went through hell before they got in front of a judge and....to date...nothings really changed.  the governor of Michigan ,.Granholm ..had told her law enforcemnt agents to lay off those who are employing the "driving by right" ..protocol. could there really be a huge conspiracy to withhold from you your right  to dirve...,. well, it need nto be a conspiracy to have gone this far... but it is ..WRON G. The fees for licensing, for drivers programs and (for the foisted upon us) ...Insurance ...are ALL illegal ...they are fraudulently foisted on us by thoe who think...who think..that this is the law. No one can force you to buy anything...and esepcially the government or...  thats how it should be. And no, you cannot go around driving and breaking any driving laws...of which by the by...I have not done so to date...no driving law broken and still I have a suspended license (and now..two more costly tickets) ....more on that in a bit. The government cannot restrict you from traveling anywhere...they cannot stop you from taking care of your health, your family, your ability to derive an income ....and this is what my city and state government has done to me. This happens all over the country and, for the most part, it happens to those of us with far less means(income) than the average American.
It's bad enough we are having our constitution taken apart for a false flag act.... but here is a way to keep you down...down and out folks and it unconstitutional as well. http://educate-yourself.org/cn/drivingisrightnotprivledge07apr05.shtml - here is just one of the many excellent  educational sites on this right or privilege issue. Others have paid their dues, lets not let their efforts go for nothing.
So lets start from the beginning of this travesty..this farce.
2006  - I get a ticket for having a low lit running light. Now this is after I told the officer I just put a new bulb in and he declined to allow me to show him. A fuckin running light! now it was surely obvious that my car was worth less than the bulb itself , but  it was safe and  legal! I haven't had much money for years now and the last thing one will do(should do ) is pay a ticket. eating  comes first, but thatts beside the point here.
The years is 2010  - I am parked in front of MY house in a decent south mpls neighborhood. My front plate is apparently missing and I am made aware of this by the city and its ticketing process. My NEW rear plate was on and yes, I am still broke. It 10 - 15.00 dollars for a plate , but thats money  I must spend on necessary items. And.. this is one more bullshit nuiscance ticket for a guy with (you guessed it)a shitty looking rig...legal, but old and ...c'mon copper use some fuckin logic man. How do I know its missing? How about a warning...and what if the plate had been stolen, which they so often are and, especially in this neighborhood with crack dealers right around the corner... a small enclave of dirt that makes shitty things happen to good average people.  The ticket was for 110.00 and I tried to settle the ticket by using logic and common sense to no avail. I amd not working and disabled...I have a couple hundred dolalrs to live on and I am homeless for the most part. I  then had to sit on it and await the next step. I have been nomadic for years now and there are many benefits , but many negative aspects too. One is mail and scheduling. I missed an appt. to possibly settle this plate ticket and had forgotten until...
April 2011 and a day before ny license renewal. I had until the 9th of May to address the missing plate issue and yet I only had enough money to get my renewal... the renewal for a license I have held for 38 years with only minor infractions duiring this time...a Class A license which can(and has) earned me a decent income. But in all of this I have had to deal with major health issues and haven't been able to use it ..but its good to have and, I may be able to drive commercially again. IN fact...if I had to really do it...I could for a short while, but  I would pay a heavy price with lots of pain ....and maybe thats what I have to survive with..who knows. BUt the folks at the renewal office say I  cannot get my license renewed without paying off the petty non-driving ticket from...the city! So I have to pay off a non-state related ticket and a non-driving related ticket in order to renew  my license and to keep my  clean driving record of 38years remain intact? Well...thats what I am led to believe...WE are led to beleive this garbage! So there no way I can pay and my license  is suspended until.... the highway patrol show up and now the ticket barrage begins. I will not be held back from my family...from my Grandkids ...from pursuing the doctors who help manage my ill health, from pursuing my(A) vocation, from starting a bank account(yes, you need an up to date license) and...be kept from  simply functioning as a GODDAMN human being ...especially in a suburb of Minneapolis where YOU HAVE TO DRIVE TO GET ANYWHERE.
So heres comes the battle folks. And I (WE)have everything to lose. It is our right to drive unimpeded anywhere from point a to point b...we are being conned by a government who fraudulently tells you it is your privilege and not your RIGHT.
YOU ..the city and state governments of MInneapolis and Minnesota respectivley, owe me for this fraud and the incredible inconvenicne and humiliation it has caused me and ..will cause me ..cause it ain't over yet.
I will file some sort of papers with the city. I will go to county court(how in hte hell am I goign to get there?) for the two new tickets and make my stand with as much inforrmation( from those who have preceeded me,and won...) and I will initiate the drivers RIGHT protocol that is seen in the attached link. It is a way to drive without THEIR license or as they see it ..THEIR contract with them ...that gives them the right to ....GIVE YOU BACK YOUR  RIGHT TO DRIVE.....its fucking laughable, its insane and  its so stupid except.... when You're being pulled over and fined and...restricted from ..LIVING!

The use of the roadways for the purpose of travel and transportation is NOT a mere PRIVILEGE, but a "COMMON AND FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT" of which the public and individuals cannot rightfully be deprived. (Emphasis added) See: Chicago Motor Coach v. Chicago, supra; See: Ligare v. Chicago, 28 N.E. 934; See: Boone v. Clark, 214 S. W. 607;

so in other words.... TAKE my license without due process?


I am looking for assistance on this matter. Research for ocurt and implementing the protocol.... Looking for  participants who have been fraudulently ticketed and or who have lost their license.

The pain IS unbearable

We ALL agree on the problems humanity faces and yet we are at a loss as to what we should do to rid the world of this overwhelming suffering so.. we bury these feelings and hope IT will change. So let me try to give you two points of view that we carry along with us that help us bury the reality of our current culture. Before you view my website, my philosophies and  believe it or not... the actions required for a REAL solution, take a peek at how most of us deal with the worlds problems now. 

One: Much of humanity believes that by remaining IN and living by the systems we live in... that the suffering will eventually leave this world, so... we keep following it. NO WAY will this work,  but then what? 

Two: Many of us believe that giving of oneself and or our money... our 'way of life'... that this will eliminate the problems.  Again,  NO WAY...SAME SYSTEM = SAME RESULTS 

Look... In each case above we would see positive results, but they would be temporary and then you would see the current problems growing as well as new ones arising, as we near collapse.  

So what to do? 

Change the way you live! 

Not just simply changing your mind,  you must CHANGE the way you live and just as important... help others to do so. If you feel the weight of this suffering, and we ALL should, then you can no longer ignore it while you go on about your daily activities. Why? Because we are ALL responsible for all of this insanity no matter where you are. Yet I am telling you that we can alter this pattern of  suffering,  reverse it and destroy it (and its source)... forever. You need not feel there is NO alternative and that it's hopeless or worse yet... that the problems are our 'human nature'... not so. But you can't go on living in the same fashion and following the same systems of government, religion and commerce/corporations/economies... which you have for so many years because.... these are 'the systems of dominon'... period.

This task is incredibly difficult but a greater reward cannot be found.. SURVIVAL. The results of NOT altering our behavior and lifestyle will not only make your lives much harder, but non-action will prove fatal and you will be controlled even more than you are today.  It takes time to learn and to accept things which deny you of your short term gratifications, but it is up to YOU (and I) to do something for ALL life on Earth, before it is done for us.  

Getting off on the right foot

Hey, the website sits just to the right here @ Bath Philosophies!

Disclaimer:  my grammar is horseshit, and yet there is lil doubt you will understand my "stream of consciousness" writing style and... the accompanying sites, videos, ezines etc. All of these are exactly what I want to convey to you, give or take a few paragraphs or sentences (I'm only human and I occassionally want to retrieve). I hope you're here to be learning something VERY different because you will my friend.  My MAIN GOAL is to reveal the lies of our worldwide human culture and OUR following of IT! To do so via the truth of Nature and her immutable, tangible laws.
 Imagine that... "people of the biological process"... Imagine... yes, it's sad but YOU have to imagine that Nature holds THE REAL TRUTHs as they should be built into YOU yet they have been lost... suppressed intentionally by dominion and appear to be foreign to us.  Do you realize that most of humanities rules and constructs are .. man made hence made up...they are bullshit as they are based on a lie? So the insane, repetitive, growing problems, (the results of our current culture)lay spread out before us ALL. Yet we keep accepting this, which WE call Mother Culture, as we hang onto the lie of its creator... dominion. We keep hanging on to the culprit... now listen up here.... we WANT to hang onto... THE culprit of ALL of OUR problems which is... dominion.

 I'd like to see our "agreed upon" problems... vanish, and replaced with truth, sustainability and... love. As what you are living in and witnessing in is the farthest thing form Love. 

How about you? No? You do not want to change or later your lives... your short term gratifications? Even in lieu of elimination of our problems and equally important OUR demise as a species? 

Aahh... but the same old conflcit based "systems of dominion"  keep getting in the way. Systems... Organizations(leaders) accepted as 'the way it is and always has been' .. ah yes.. system of Government(nation states.. Religion(salvationists) .. and the new god.. worldwide corporatism.... WE follow them yet they are the source of our demise..OUR problems. If you give a shit about your life and your family , friends etc... then incorporate ALL life into that truth and understanding the as soon as you can. Oh yeah, I do give a shit and care about my family, my friends , but also... others families, and other kids the world over and ALL LIFE! ...  I make it a point to wake up and GIVE a shit about... ALL LIFE!  BUT.... One cannot truly care for ANYthing or ANYybody while working within and honoring the same systems that gave us (which we helped create and NOW foster) the multitude of problems we see and feel each and everyday. WE are in a HUGE mess, a deep dark hole worldwide... much of he herd has went over the cliff, but much has not... not yet...  and there's only one way out. WE must dramatically change the way we live (worldwide) in order to dismantle the systems that feed on us as we end up creating more and more problems. Try to imagine this: we derive gratification from the same sources that have brought us to the edge of cultural and ecological collapse. We follow them for the short term gratifications we receive, while we become more and more convinced and... complacent because... YOU actually believe these systems will solve the great problems of humanity! Hhhhhmmmm...have they? NO! Didn't WE create this mess by following them? Yes.. they have not always been with us..not by any stretch... So... Quit following and quit feeding the 'sources' of our problems...  the 'systems of dominion'.   IF you want to take responsibility and get out of this mess purely cultural mess...  to rid the world of these unnecessary problems... to become who we are meant to be...  TO survive and flourish for a very long time... to maintain our presence here on Earth.... then realize that We have ONLY one chance and ONE path to choose in order to accomplish this... Bath and Etc.. Natural Laws.... not man made laws , but Nature and her laws. 

I am speaking of the insane LEARNED  behavior we have accepted and nurtured... WE must LEARN what has been lost.. The Great Forgetting of OUR place in this world... and just as important..we must UNLEARN dominions lie and do so... ASAP... 


Change NOW! 

I invite you all on this journey with me now, today and forever. 

I am sick to death of accepting the bullshit way in which we fight the status quo and the planets maladies? 


Aren't you?

Break Away from The Herd and Embrace the Commonality

Nature Vanquished Again

I'm not so sure which emotional state is going ot take over after  what I  recently witnessed. Is it anger, disillusion or utter sadness? I''ll let the  sadness sink in as it seems the deepest for myself and, for those in the future who will not experience the beauty and solitude of the Nemadji Forest in central Minnesota.

Its been almost forty(40)years since my first visit and not until today has the forest ever really changed. An unremarkable little forest of pine and birch, interspersed with dams and ponds, provided by beaver and muskrat, now had a goddamn hiway runnin thru it!. The deer were there, as well as wolves, (which we saw waltz into the woods only a few yards in front of us this very day) yet the sighting of wild animals was always minimal. Even the birds were few and far between. The greatest asset this forest possessed was its solitude, its lack of human beings and their noisy activities. There really wasn't much to do here for the "average American". Ah yes, the masses and their loud machines be it motorboats (only very small lakes in this very small forest), snowmobiles (not much contour and to few bars for the white boys) and as for winter... the ATVS weren't allowed(although they were present frequently in the summer and fall). Here was a location filled with peace and quiet and an adventurers spirit only one hndred and thirty (130) miles away from Minneapolis, MN. It was a soft, quiet, birch wood burning kinda place.  AAAAHhhhhhhh... the birch smelled so damn good and it felt great not to hear humanity for a few days or even weeks and especially after one "walked in" from the madness. You begin your hike in and the face muscles loosened as your lungs filled with fresh air and, even HOPE was restored. And now those days are gone forever and, I guess this roads been like this for a while now(meaning it wasn't recently carved out of the forest), but its NEW to me since I haven't been here for several years. 

Every inch of land must be used for progress. Progress for the dominators who truly relish in the carnage of their profit machines until it seems they can do no more.
Why not leave this lil piece of worth LESS(far less) forest alone you motherfuckers! 
My editor, and dear friend Karl, was going along with me to wlak in with me to see "the cabin". The one I had written and talked about so much, so endearingly and so respectfully. It was located on the east side of this forest near the Gandy Dancer trail which is obviously an old railroad track being gandy dancers worked the rail lines...right?   It was a half day stroll to the Nickerson bar  if you're inclined to measure in those terms... of which I am quite proud to say... YES, I know these measurements! Where was I? ....ah yes, the gandy Dancer... bet you didn't know that bit of knowledge. The beauty of going there had been the "walking into" the cabin while  gradually stepping away from humankind (never did like religions mankind label, or was it science?) After a few miles we would find the trailhead that leads to the cabin and, here is where absolute silence would greet us along with an old primitive log cabin that had seen generations come and go. Ministers using it from many years ago and then the owners moving the entire cabin through the forest to where it stands today. Its still  standing, but will soon be shaken down by the rumbling machines of stupidity.

Well, it seems A.C. Gerard  had built this for a few preachers who mission it was ..here we go... it was their "mission" back there in about 1912 to treat people to a break from...religion! Yeehaw..... we get a repreive from all the tall tales and..... no, that ain't why he did it. Sorry man, I can't help taking jabs at exposing the fables of the worlds so called great religions. So where was I?  The mission camp as it was called (and which is still posted on the front door)  was owned by the Gerard family and one of the boys was Tom aka Big G.  A very dear friend, Tom invited us to the cabin almost 40 years ago and it may well be the most influential moment in ALL of my life. (the next one will be graduating from an english class.. I realize my grammars ridiculous) Anywho... gradually, over decades, the city boy came to understand the crystal clear message of Mother Nature and, to discard the obvious lies that humankind had foisted upon me.  So... damn, I am getting caught up in this story..drifting a bit...  and you'd think I was smoking pot ... but I'm not... So Karl and I approached the entrance to the wood trail that leads to the cabin. We were coming in from the gandy dancer trail as there is more than one way to get into the cabin and what a hike it was. Karl would later tell me that the forest appeared just as I described it. Plenty of snow left on the ground, being it was late in the year, and the Sunny day gave us temperatures in the 40s with a soft warmer breeze. We had to hike in about 4 miles and lucky for us the trail had not turned to mush under each step for we would have easily doubled our efforts walking in. Occasional breaks where complete silence overtook our senses... so dam beautiful. We packed enough for a three day trip and anticipated altering our state of mind via forest solitude and "Nature made" mood altering substance(s). Everything was going great and it was just so beautiful until we came upon a larger than normal  dark opening  at the trailhead. Here between the white ground and birch trees were huge tire tracks going in and out heading southward and into the forest heading WEST, on its way to the cabin. An immediate sickening in my stomach and one of them angry ...YOU motherfuckers!,  took over my mellow "wonder of nature" mindset.  "Goddamn I hope this road doesn't go to far into the forest", but I knew almost immediately that it ran across the beaver pond(s) by virtue of  the roads positioning. As we entered the path heading west we  went across the 1/4 mile of a beavers pond. These incredible creatures was being run through by fucking semis!  On each side of "their" ponds were wide, almost impenetrable,  dam walls which were now camouflaged by snow banks and grey shadows.  We glanced across the pond and its stark brown filthy man made road... this is hard to write about man... f'n pisses me off so... anywho, across the pond sat a road grader! Behind the yellow Deere tractor(yes, Deere do make very lare tracks in the woods) the once single file walking path that lead to the cabin was now a a semi truck lumber road. The forest and all its inhabitants now had a new neighbor(actually a new boss) ...  the new forest road. 

Imagine an area of several acres filled with birch tree light no matter the cloud cover or time of day. This is how one would begin walking the last mile ot the cabin... pure extacy with perpetual natural light on a very small and little used path, now had its  sides littered with dead, and dying,  upended light sources. their roots splayed out as they had been truly fucked by the park service and their clients.   This is carnage and yet we accept many more levels of magnitude of this shit across the planet! Once life giving trees were now laying in the snow irrepairbly harmed as they had to give it up up to the dominion machine. The same machine which Ishmael taught me to call  Mother Culture(the antithesis of Mother Nature). The mill owners road  grader had effortlessly shoved them aside to fall and await their slow deat. Am i to dramatic? Ampify this scene a million fold, and getting worse, and you will know why I am so deeply affected. But this was MY forest. MY getaway! we walked by the trees an I did not give thanks being so filled with anger... so filled with hate.  
Once beautiful life giving entities with their  sturdy proud root systems, now decimated by our Perverted government and its perverted forest management. Lets not forget the perverted greedy business owners and its employees and...  their teacher... their guide... THE perverted culture which was  taking advantage of even the Nemadji Forest. All of them fucking our planet... to death! Fucking themselves to death while blind dominion worked its magic. 

There was of course frozen water and mud mud mud... meaning this road cold only be used during the coldest months unless, unless you DIDN'T GIVE A SHIT and really wanted to destroy all of it and ... maybe they did mean to use it all year. Time will tell for these ignorant sawmill owners and the short sighted, more than likely, low on funding forest managers, as to the extent of this... progress?  The pulp is worth little and the jobs are short lived and low paying. Idigress.... How much land, solitude and beauty will be chewed up during this worldwide recession (depression) or what I call " Cultural transition". Thisis a game changing moment in humanities history and the  sweet lil gorging citizens of the good ol US of A are at the regressive core.  How much more of Nature (our life support systems)will go for less than nothing to earn the rich MORE money?  A shitload man! Fuck Fuck Fuck...Thanks a lot you worthless followers of dominion... thanks alot for foisting your  temporary life destroying dominion over more of Nature(our life support systems!).  

Ripping apart this littel forest as you grant a few humans another reprieve in the job market, while decades(no, generations) of enjoyment would be had by... ALL LIFE! YEAH...BEAVERS ENJOY SHIT TOO.  I know this first hand boys nad girls..hahahahha....   So THEY fanangle another government deal, albeit a small one, but I truly believe this was a rare piece of Minnesota. THEY get the funds in the bank and,  its ALL temporary, for I believe Nature has had enough of this species assault on her. The culture of humanity thtaa pervades this globe has  NO understanding of the Laws of Nature. The immutable laws which preside over us and give to us ALL that we have ever had. But why worry? How or why should THEY worry when their god wil give them a BETTER place after they have destroyed heaven right here. East and West alike treat this planet as less than their heavens... NO damn wonder, right?
Stupid arrogant humans! 
Oh well, its gone now and anyone can literally drive right up to the cabin as the road runs a few yards from its  entrance. What was once an adventure and a "get away", because it was inaccessible to those not willing to embrace it,  was now a few minutes away and open to all. Hey, c'mon in and start revving up your engines... blasting your sickening bass rap shit music, start stealing anything and everything you can and...  destroying and.....goddamn it! Karl and I knew it was all over when one of the truck drivers actually blew his horn at us. R U kindding me dude? What the fuck do you think we're doing here in he middle of the forest???....  awaiting your fucking  diesel hornblow? Yup, we have our arms up in the air, half cocked, like children on the freeway overpass, just waiting for a trucker to blast the shit out of his our airspace.  We were so hoping you'd blow your horn and add to the rumble of your 100,000 lbs piece of shit rumblin, rattling truck!  In the midst of this solitude....  Oh wait a second....  I get it now...  he's telling us that its THEIR forest now.
Excuse me. I will leave now.

When I got home a few days later I picked up a paper to notice one of the property owners, the Son of the original owner(A.C.) had passed.  Big Gs Father Jerry, had died. The Gerards  introduced me to this forest, and the cabin, so long ago. An era gone by.  I'd like to do something about it NOW, but what? Paul McCartney had a prophetic tune in his first solo album. A line went like this "To many people pulled and pushed around ...to many reaching for that piece of cake".  Yup, 40 years ago he wrote that lil tune when I began to come up to the cabin,  and even then tere were to many people. So long ago and yet the cabin and the Nemadji forest had avoided losing its character until recently only  because it was so unremarkable... it was so worthLESS to those who could do what they wanted...  until, some fools could make a couple bucks in a time when a couple bucks was better than nothing.


goddamn it all.

Snow Storm Etiquette

THANKS FOR VISITING!
THE WEBSITE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION/almost done! - ALONG WITH THE EZINES, they WILL BE HERE SHORTLY.

The snow storm was approaching and one could not escape the news even if they had wanted to. I walked into a store here in Savage Minnesota and wondered aloud why there were so many people in it only to hear “haven’t you heard about the storm coming” Oooohh my god... a super storm!  Some said it would be 10 inches while others gave us predictions of 10-20 inches plus, but no matter the race was on to buy groceries, movies, fuel up and to get home. Somehow Minnesotans have lost their ability to judge how a snow storm will actually affect their daily lives and worse than that they have lost their sense of compassion and how a storm (or anything for that matter) may affect the lives of others.

I love the snow and revel in the below zero weather and high winds if only because its a challenge, but more than anything I can appreciate its power, beauty and the creativity it brings out in me. How amazing Nature is as she covers the filth of Urban humanity with her smooth clean snow white rolling blanket.   My fellow Minnesotans, at least the ones that live here in the suburbs of Minneapolis seem to enjoy it too, yet most of them do so only from the warmth of their new vehicles or homes. For the most part that’s the way it goes in the land of sheeple, but when the snow hits hard, those brand spanking new (4 wheel drive) vehicles whiz by the trapped motorists without the slightest pause or sense of obligation to them. They must be on their way to church, the bank or shopping. Hell, its really just like anything else most Americans do…It's something for themselves which comes first. The proud individualistic Americans who believe that the greatest gift they can give to others is their success in this quasi-capitalistic country. Oh, let the tow truck driver get em and that will feed the economy. Yup, that mind set plays out millions of times each day in the US of A while reality plays out the world over.....the reality of  human culture collapsing along with our life support system ...biodiversity ..yup, shes dying too. How bizarre that Americans believe the exact opposite of ...the truth. Imagine that.....Every American second destroys...each and every second destroys!  All of this because we let the tow truck driver do his job? hahahah....kinda sorta folks.

I love the snow flyin by and pilin up flake by flake. I love the quiet it gives from the cushioned wheels gliding by, and if I am so lucky as to have a mate on that snowy day....a cuddly, soft, snow loving, occasionally horny lil fart (I do have a bad back man)..... the love-in and creativity piles up high too...yeehaw. But while everyone was stockpiling groceries and liquor at the local super store, afraid they may miss a meal or two, while diminishing their overstuffed American fat....faces or asses or ....hell, take your body part pick man. Me?  I was making sure the Jeep Wrangler was loaded for the worst...getting others unstuck. Yup, get her  loaded for the unfortunate, and ignorant, so I can be helping them release their cars from Natures grip. The pay is shitty for sure, but the rewards feel damn good and not only the thank you and offers of cash, but feelings of ingenuity used successfully in the tortured mind of a former Norse god. Really Odin, can’t I be of a more god-like use than this though? Oh well, maybe a few more mortal lifetimes of sacrifice, of my giving, and HE will restore my godly powers. Nordic Karma is truly hell on earth so....

 C'mon Ragnarok lets get this shit over with. 

One dilemma here in snowland is: when do you remove the snow from the walk and driveway? I doubt it really matters when one has a machine to do the work for them, but when your back is bad or your up there in years you'd better maximize timing, each scoop, have help and just be careful. The house I live in has six mailboxes in front of it and we need to keep em clear in order for the postman to have access. So we all share the removal effort of course. But there’s this dude across the street from me who  is a real prime example of the American "I gots mine...F you" attitude.   Here's proof:

The storm hits that day and comes on strong that evening and into the next day. So I warmed myself up for the event by hanging out with Freedom, the 200 lb Newfoundland who thinks snowstorms are playtime. I will make note to have a pair of Newfies when I live up near The Great Slave Lake in Northern Canada… ah yes, I see it now, the solar panels on my dome home, making hydrogen, small scale alcohol and its multi-purpose  24/7 greenhouse for food, beer and pot! So comfy and warm  and...  NO suburbanites! Now where was I? Ah yes.... The storm picks up momentum the next morning and its going to make the already white christmas ...wow whiter. C'mon with two (2) feet of the white stuff Mother Nature! People, cars and trucks rushing all over the place instead of staying put, but at least they're rolling along  quietly. So I head out to get a cup of coffee (I’m the exception to the rule here man.... and exempt from frivolous travel)..... to shoot a few videos full well knowing many motorists will need help and they do. In my first turn I could see a new Corolla on a small incline, surrounded by 6 inches of snow on a well traveled road. This isn't much unless you're not used to driving in it and this person wasn’t, she was stuck. Flashers on, cell phone in her hand and traffic whizzin by! NO traction and low visibility in the middle of the day and getting worse by the minute. I pulled over to wait for my chance at moving over to her side of the road and I watched at least 50 vehicles drive by her, some slow and some freeway speed and stupid dangerous.  Many were 4 wheelers as SUVs and trucks, you know what kind of trucks I 'm speaking of right? The ones with no visible wear on them, trucks strictly for show and most were capable of easily pulling this car out as they know that there’s no tow truck coming. No wonder there’s road rage, no…that isn’t it. It’s these selfish average American drivers who are only looking out for themselves, who are showing us: that’s the way Americans drive man and.... that’s how WE LIVE too.No wonder I'm going insane. I'm reading all of this into their driving habits! You goddamn right as.....  Americans drive like they live....selfish and stupidly!   So I work my way in front of this car from the far right lane and with my trucks flashers on I get out and walk back to HER car and man is she tiny, so I assume elderly.  I can barely see her behind the wheel as she rolls down he window and instead of Granny, here’s this little mid 20s Somalia woman....who is not ready for Minnesota driving either.  I can see she’s trying to call but she puts the phone down and I ask if I can help her get out. She says "I've been here for almost an hour trying to get someone to help". Of course she can't even get out the car as its damn dangerous and she’s dressed for a summer walk around the lake...now that’s fucking stupid lady but, I bite my tongue,  because I can tell she'll never do that again. I will help but only if I can drive her car out and she agrees. She moves over to the passenger side and I get in, grab her purse and jump the hell out...NO, NO just messin with you ....so when traffic subsides I back up and gently move forward around the front of my truck to a safe place. We're laughing about how easy it was and now she can take over. She is very grateful... I wished her well and hoped she would not become stuck again which is the case far to often.

I ended up helping about a dozen people that day, most were easy to get unstuck and they were grateful, but a few were awfully impolite and....I told one to her face... go fuck yourself you snotty witch! Almost a bitch, but that’s reserved for those special ladies…she wasn’t quite worthy of that title. Yet she thought it was my civic duty to get her out for chrissakes and she would not listen to a damn thing any of us told her. Yeah, an audience will bring out the best in me as they thought I was out of line too. Yeah, fuck you, you bootlickers. The witch was situated right around the bend from a gas station....she was dressed to kill, plenty of cash and in no way should have been out there driving. She was f'ing shopping like so many other Aholes were that day.  

So off I go and I’m heading down the highway and the next thing I know I am stopped dead in traffic in  what now looked like a narrow inner city street with snow piled up 2,3,4 feet on each side in gorgeous waves. I could care less that we were dead stopped as I'm always prepared for killing time, but the stress I felt from the other drivers jockeying around was startin to piss me off . They were used to getting their way, and getting there fast, so the heads were peaking out the windows as they jostled for useless position. I want to know why some fuckin psychological thinking isn't used here....where was the yellow flag from this Nascar following....THIS they would understand...Nascar, hahahahahha...what a joke of a country that logic is replaced by Nascar!  What you could not see was that we had entered an open field and winds were high with low visibility on this stretch of highway.  So after a bit  I get out to take a peek as to what’s the hold up. Well, there’s no way  that one could tell unless you were actually up front and close to the “hold up” itself. No going forward or reverse as we ALL wait. Some drivers do get out and look like I did and we all look at each other like ...now what? Just then a  truck comes at us from the opposite direction and I run across the median to flag him down and ask what’s going on out there in front of us where he had just come from.  He slowed down a bit as his window comes down and he says "You'd better turn around cause it’s going to be hours before they clear the mess up”. Well,  I get in and swing the jeep around across the median and through the snow where I had just walked. Now knowing the snow depth makes this lil drive doable right?  I had just walked through it so  I knew there were no obstacles in the Jeeps path. The weird deal was that a shitload of other drivers begin doing the same thing but,  not in the same tracks of course. I look behind me in my mirrors and there they go like mad cutting across the median like I did , but NOT knowing if anything was in their path... goddamn stupid lazy arrogant Americans! "Oh Mother Nature can't stop me from shopping!  Like I said..they live like they drive and vice a versa.

It was getting dark on my way home and just before I get to this left turn lane  there is another car stuck and.... in a similar position as the young Somali lady. I approach the car as she rolls down her window down to see that she is crying. I tell her not to worry and we'll get it out. She also tells me shes been there for some time and not one person has stopped to help.  Not one F’n person! Again I wait for traffic and move the car in position for her to drive out and away. She is very grateful and fumbles for some money while I walk away to tell her I will watch her pull out into traffic. As she pulls away she waves the "I don’t dare turn my head wave" and there's this  half grin, half salvation look  flowing across her face.

But the prevailing theme that day was the all to .”I gots mine”. NO WAY will I get out to help you and especially not with my new clean  SUV, Pick up or whatever. Hardly anyone stopped to assist anybody in those eight hours and I'll attribute some of it to these suburbanites. These snooty lost souls so separated, so bland, so nasty, so boring, so mistrusting(of self that is)....these miserable stupid ignorant people....horrid people in a shit part of town. But most of this aversion to helping another comes from this American I gots Mine Insanity...the selfishness of those who more than likely have more than others and feel that those less fortunate should work their way up and "fuck them" until they get there, wherever THERE may be. What a shithole I live in...the suburb and country. Someone said to me recently that maybe people were just afraid to get out and help fearing they would be duped by those faking being stuck or maybe  robbed, or they’d get stuck themselves. Well, what’s the difference if its a ruse, self preservation or plain old selfishness? It’s all that same old American Lost culture "I gots mine...F you!"

I can't wait to get the hell out of here. But where to? Like the German band Rammstein sings…

”We’re all living in America” god are we ever screwed folks.

Oh, and by the way, no sexy lil fart was waiting for me either.
