Who’s camp are you in?
I don’t know enough about either, to be in one or the other.
I know enough about both. not to be in either one.
Guess what, there is no camp. Other than the one we are all in. How would you get any rest and be at peace if you were fighting with the people in your tent ?
Regardless of what you believe or what the other person believes, what color anyone’s epidermis is, how tall or short they are. How much money they do or do not have in the bank, What invisible entity they believe in.
To put this in perspective, just “Imagine” the ozone layer as the transparent tent material.
While that may be the largest tent to be conceived of, it is still our tent.
Time to get along with all the campers in the tent.
I think my poetic license expired .
Ok, it was revoked. See below.
Use your illusion
Quantum confusion
How can it be
Under the microscope I see
A particle of something
magnified is nothing
I just want to know
Where did that quark go
Like a missing key, to my car
It couldn’t have gone too far
It’s really quiet, it makes no sound
It might be anywhere for miles around
But wait, I loudly holler
I just found something smaller
I search and search to no avail
Can’t these damn things leave a trail
I’ll expand my search, make it wider
I’ll use a super collider
I won’t get mad and start to rave
I should be looking for a wave
How can I believe in what I don’t see
If it is to be or not to be
This really is a daunting task
I just want an answer, that’s all I ask
If seeing is believing
It’s a headache, I’m receiving
I should stop this fuss and all this clatter
Really, what does matter, matter.
I must concede, I must deem
Nothing is, as it seems
To prove anything would just be dope
For what makes up the microscope
I’ll end this poem, I won’t be terse
The answer might lie in a multiverse

53.27563751 % of all statistics are made up.
The more accurate they are, the higher percentage they are off by.
It also verifies they are made up.

Hmmm?
I treat others like myself, horribly.
Which is really odd behavior, as most people treat me very well.
Now it’s time to change.
Which would just make that a little longer.
I am treating myself very well, which is the way that other people treat me.

Do unto others as others do unto you.

If you would not do it to a child. Don’t do it to an adult.
War
E.g. Put a weapon in their hand and have them kill another human being.
A no-brainer for sure.
.
If you would not do it to an adult. Don’t do it to a child.
Circumcision
E.g. Strap them to a board and mutilate their genitals.
Definitely a no-brainer.

Babies and Senior citizens are feeble and dependent, It should not be our role, to be the same in between. Following a system that does the above in reverse.
“Is it okay to yell “movie” in a crowded firehouse?”
Steve Martin
It’s a nice concept, but when groups, (forget the government ) of every type, create environments of fear and hostility that, if you say this, your a racist, or if you express that, you’re sexist, or if you mention something out of context, you might be liable.
Therefore, the non-monetary price that is paid, could be some breakthrough dialogue that inspires peaceful revolution, which may be curtailed, not because of regulation, but fear.
Yet, the plus side of this unintended hampering, forces the writer, speaker or artist to get creative to use words in such a way that the recipients consciousness is raised to the point where becoming less racist, sexist, less violent was their idea.
You know, those Oprah “a ha” moments.
“Let it be their idea.” 5FM
Kind of like using “Irish Diplomacy” where you tell a person to go to hell, in such a way that they look forward to taking the trip.
So, conceptually, is it okay to yell “fire” in a crowded movie house?
Our current collective theory, says no.
However, I think that for our species to evolve, it should not only be allowed, but encouraged, as a means necessary to get in touch with our inner knowing and for each individual to decide whether or not there really is a fire.
Otherwise, we are allowing ourselves to being molded into soul dead consumers of bad ideas, hell bent on having expectations that if we adhere to the norm and acceptable, we’ll be “protected”.
From what, or when? Hmmm.
We are all going to die anyway, might as well go, knowing our world, instead of repeating these incarnations, till we get it right.
Suspect phrase.
Unless you hear a politician or talking head media personality, actually volunteer themselves and their family to fight for what they say they believe so strongly in. Question their interest and intent.
If they are so busy yapping about, the “security of our country is in danger” that they would not only be willing to go, but actually be on the front lines to “fight” in the war.
“Stop talking and do.” 5FM
I’d accept a group as small as 100 to believe it, and not to be some sort of attachment to the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard or Marines.
Besides, the media is essentially the 6th branch of the military anyway.
As for politicians, there wouldn’t be any war, if it was them putting themselves in harm’s way.
Send them all with body cameras and GPS tracking devices linked up so everyone could watch. As they become the “boots” on the ground, they so emotionally advocate.
Otherwise, it is just another person playing a part in the mindless corporments role in war profits.
Of which the “boot” on the ground is actually a human being, something that is being used as a tool or sacrificial lamb while exploiting words like freedom and democracy.
( Corporments = the new word to best describe the corporations and governments, so blatantly in bed together it needed it’s own word.)
(So we can all drop the illusion that they are separate.)
Same goes, for the person you work around who says “we” should “put boots on the ground” Ask that person , if they’ll send their “boots”, with them in it.
Nah, never mind. The only thing they’ll do is get defensive and after they are done digging their heels in to defend their position, they will use their boots to kick your ass.
Sometimes I notice that the only way I could be less lazy,
would be if I were doing nothing.
“It is not so much about what I need to learn, to make my future better.
It is about what I need to unlearn from my past, to make my present better.”

I should probably be learning, that I need not quote myself.
