SOULS COLLISION

SOULS COLLIDE. IT'S PROOF THEY EXIST. THE COLLISION PRODUCES LOVE. JOY. SOMETIMES DESPAIR AND DARKNESS. UNPREDICTABLE, THOSE SOULS, BUMPING INTO ONE ANOTHER LIKE THAT.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality."
General Idea of the Revolution in the Nineteenth Century, translated by John Beverly Robinson (London: Freedom Press, 1923), pp. 293-294.”

TERROR. TERROR. TERROR

EVERYWHERE YOU TURN, TERROR. IT'S HORRIBLE. IT GRABS HOLD OF YOUR HEART AND MAKES YOU ANXIOUS AND FEARFUL. I WOULDN'T WASTE MUCH MONEY BOMBING AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, SYRIA. IT'S MUCH CLOSER THAN THAT. IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. EVEN INSIDE THE GATES. IN WASHINGTON, LITTLE ROCK, MISSISSIPPI, NORTH DAKOTA. RIGHT-WING, CHRISTIAN, WHITE, GUN TOOTING, BIBLE STOMPING, REPUBLICANS WHO WAVE THE FLAG AND SING THE SONG. MORE DANGEROUS THAN ANY OTHER TERRORIST YOU WILL EVER SEE. HERE'S A CHEAP ANTIDOTE TO KEEP THEM FROM STEALING YOUR SANITY. SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE. A PRAYER EVOKING DIVINE PROTECTION. CHANT IT OVER AND OVER WHEN YOU GET ANXIOUS OR UPSET:
     I KNOW WHO I AM.
     I KNOW WHERE I COME FROM.
     I WILL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO MAKE ME FEEL ANXIOUS AND FEARFUL.
     I AM NOT AFRAID.

WELCOME TO THE OLIGARCHY. BYE, BYE, MISS AMERICAN PIE.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

“For those who believe in God, most of the big questions are answered. But for those of us who can't readily accept the God formula, the big answers don't remain stone-written. We adjust to new conditions and discoveries. We are pliable. Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
Charles Bukowski

HIGHWAY LANDFILL BLUES

HOW COULD YOU MISTAKE A CAR WINDOW FOR A TRASH RECEPTACLE? IN ARKANSAS, IT'S EASY. WHEN I PULLED ONTO ELCONO THIS A.M., WHICH IS IN THE VILLAGE, I THOUGHT IT MUST HAVE BEEN RECENTLY ANNEXED INTO THE SALINE CO. LANDFILL. CRAP EVERYWHERE. YOU WOULDN'T THINK THE VILLAGERS WOULD BE SO CALLOUS, BUT THEN AGAIN, THEY WILL ALL VOTE FOR TRUMP, WHICH IS CLEARLY A VOTE FOR LITTER. HIGHWAY 5 ON THE WAY IN TO HOT SPRINGS IS NO BETTER. THE GARLAND CO. SHERIFF HAS A CHAIN-GANG WORKING IT ABOUT ONCE PER MONTH, WHICH IS NOT NEAR ENOUGH TO KEEP UP WITH THE LITTER. THEY END UP WITH BAGS ALONG THE ROAD ABOUT EVERY 100 FT. THESE ONLY END UP BEING TARGETS FOR PASSING CARS PROTESTING HOW CLEAN THE HIGHWAY LOOKS. EVERY ROAD IN ARKANSAS HAS THIS PROBLEM. THE INTERSTATES ARE NO EXCEPTION. IT IS AN ARKANSAS GAME TO DODGE CHUNKS OF RUBBER FROM BLOWN RECAPS ON TRUCKS. THE WHOLE THING IS DISGUSTING, WHICH REMINDS ME OF PEEVER LAW #108: EVOLUTION GOT IT WRONG. SHOULD HAVE STOPPED WITH CHIMPANZEE'S.

THE GRAND CANYON


BACK BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

BACK BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
     More of the same from the village Board of Directors. More secrets. Guess what? You have a new general manager. The old one is scheduled to advise her on an on-going basis. Sweet! I attribute all these secrets to our military leadership. They are not used to operating in a democratic fashion. It’s “do as we say, we know what’s best for you.” Executive sessions continue to be abused. The board policy has seven reasons to go into executive session, the seventh a catch-all for just about any time they want. By comparison, the state of Arkansas has three reasons to go into executive session. And our Board does not vote in pubic on personnel matters, a blatant violation of the public trust. No vote affecting us should be taken behind closed doors. We elect them and we are entitled to know what they are doing. And how each of the members are voting. The five years we have been in the Village full-time, the Board of Directors has been the most disappointing thing about the Village. And the Village Voice has not encouraged them to change or do anything different regarding all the secrets. The media usually takes up these battles, but then again, this is the Village. (I’m going to have to check if the Chamber owns them). At any rate, one can only hope that things might get better. It’s a great place, but secrets have no place in our community. We are mostly all capable of discussing various proposed ideas and letting the Board know in a reasonable fashion how we feel, prior to the Board making a final decision. That’s how it should work, assuming we are using democratic principles, which I would hope is our intent.

BOTTLE OF JESUS

I'M THINKING OF CRAFTING A BEER CALLED "BOTTLE OF JESUS." DRINKING ONE WOULD GET YOU TO THINKING ABOUT JESUS AND THE MESSAGE THAT HE GAVE US. THE SECOND WOULD CONVINCE YOU THAT HIS MESSAGE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH RIGHT-WING, CHRISTIAN, REPUBLICAN IDEOLOGY. BY THE THIRD, YOU WOULD BEGIN TO FEEL LIKE ALL TELEVANGELISTS ARE FULL OF BULLSHIT, AS ARE MOST POLITICIANS, WHO MAY BE EX-TELEVANGELISTS. THE FOURTH WILL TAKE YOU INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION, WHICH HAS TO BE BETTER THAN THIS ONE. FIVE, YOU WILL HAVE A VISION OF GOD. AFTER SIX, YOU WILL WAKE UP IN A MENTAL HOSPITAL THINKING YOU ARE GOD. AND YOU'RE WELCOME.

In Their Own (Hateful) Words

In Their Own (Hateful) Words



SO MUCH FOR GOD'S PEOPLE

SHOCK AND AWE

I JUST REMAIN MESMERIZED BY ALL THE VILLAGE RIGHT-WING, WHITE, CHRISTIAN, REPUBLICANS WHO ARE SUPPORTING TRUMP AND PENCE. THESE ARE BY-AND-LARGE PEOPLE WHO ARE EDUCATED MORE THAN THE AVERAGE, AND HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL, AT LEAST IN TERMS OF MAKING MONEY. (BOTH OBVIOUS MISNOMERS). THERE IS NO PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION, OTHER THAN COMPLETE LOYALTY TO A PARTY THAT IS TOTALLY IRRELEVANT IN THE 21ST CENTURY. ANYONE SUPPORTING TRUMP HAS IN MY OPINION LOST ANY LEVEL OF CREDIBILITY REGARDING BEING A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN AND OBSERVANT HUMAN BEING. THESE PEOPLE WOULD DO ANYTHING TO PROTECT WHITE PRIVILEGE. THEY ARE SURE THEY ARE BEING CHEATED BY THE POOR. (THOSE HORRIBLE ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS, NONE OF WHICH THEY CAN EXPLAIN ACCURATELY). I COULD BE WRONG ABOUT ALL OF THIS, BUT I DOUBT IT. NO ONE SHOULD BE SUPPORTING TRUMP, WHO HAS PROVEN TO BE THE MOST UNQUALIFIED CANDIDATE TO EVER RUN FOR THE PRESIDENCY. FORTUNATELY, HILLARY IS GOING TO HAND HIM HIS BUTT ON A PLATTER. IT WILL BE A TEMPORARY RELIEF, BEFORE WE HAVE TO START DEALING WITH OBSTRUCTIONIST REPUBLICANS AND AND A FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT WHO WILL ACT MORE LIKE A MODERATE REPUBLICAN THAN A LIBERAL, PROGRESSIVE, DEMOCRAT. UNFORTUNATELY, THE ELECTION WILL NOT BRING AN END TO ALL THIS STUPIDITY. IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING. WHAT YOU SEE NOW IS A PRELUDE TO WHAT COULD BECOME TOTAL ANARCHY.

PEEVER LAW #106

THE SMELL OF SUPERIORITY: MY GOD IS BIGGER AND BETTER THAN YOURS.

HOW SCREWED UP ARE WE?

  • A gun is easier to obtain than a drivers license.
  • A majority of the public may be opposed to whatever, but it doesn't matter to the government. And all the while I thought the government was us.
  • As the world becomes smaller, so does our brain. This seemingly helps explain the phrase "cool."
  • When you demand that the poor be helped, you're called a socialist. When you demand that the rich be helped, you're called a Republican.
  • We call bombs "smart," and it's possible to be killed by "friendly fire."
  • We keep electing people who haven't got a clue what's going on.
  • Looking for a better country? Try improving yourself. Don't worry about the other guy. Worry about you.
  • We kill people who don't agree with us. Sounds to me like murder.
  • Fear. Fear. Fear. Everyone is afraid. The terrorists have won. You don't think so? Check your gun cabinet.

BENEDICTION

AND SO IT IS. ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER PLEA. ANOTHER ASKING. MOVE INTO OUR LIVES. KEEP US FROM SUCCUMBING TO GREED, THE CRAZINESS OF POLITICS, A WORLD WROUGHT IN DESPAIR. HELP US TO KEEP OUR HEADS ABOVE WATER. GIVE US THE STRENGTH TO SAY NO TO IT ALL. HELP US TO REMEMBER THAT THINGS CAN BE, AND WILL BE, BETTER. GOODNESS ALWAYS PREVAILS. YOUR GOODNESS, YOUR MERCY, OUR BELIEVING IN US. WE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN. WE WILL STAND TALL AGAINST EVIL. WE WILL KEEP GETTING UP IF KNOCKED DOWN. WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED IN THE DARKNESS. YOUR SHINING LIGHT WILL BRIGHTEN OUR PATH. WE WILL GO ONE STEP AT A TIME, WITH OUR HEADS HELD HIGH AND OUR RESOLVE SECURE, DETERMINED TO MAKE EARTH A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYONE.

SUNDAY MORNING PRAYER-WE ARE TAKERS

You are the giver of all good things.
All good things are sent from heaven above,
rain and sun,
day and night,
justice and righteousness,
bread to the eater and
seed to the sower,
peace to the old,
energy to the young,
joy to the babes.
We are takers, who take from you,
day by day, daily bread,
taking all we need as you supply,
taking in gratitude and wonder and joy.
And then taking more,
taking more than we need,
taking more than you give us,
taking from our sisters and brothers,
taking from the poor and the weak,
taking because we are frightened, and so greedy,
taking because we are anxious, and so fearful,
taking because we are driven, and so uncaring.
Give us peace beyond our fear, and so end our greed.
Give us well-being beyond our anxiety, and so end our fear.
Give us abundance beyond our drivenness,
and so end our uncaring.
Turn our taking into giving … since we are in your giving image:
Make us giving like you,
giving gladly and not taking,
giving in abundance, not taking,
giving in joy, not taking,
giving as he gave himself up for us all,
giving, never taking. Amen.

ROCK & ROLL



Let’s rock and roll. One of the labels we boomers carry is “The Rock & Roll Generation”. Now that’s a label I don’t mind having.

I was born in 1948. As fate would have it, so was the 33 1/3 rpm vinyl record. Now, I don’t want to make too much of that coincidence, but it does make me an expert on music, particularly rock & roll.

With the advent of the 33 1/3 record, it wasn’t long after that Atlantic Records producer Jerry Wexler coined the term “rhythm and blues”. The saxophone and electric guitar took center stage. Some of the first rhythm and blues stars included T-Bone Walker, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, The Mills Brothers, Billie Holiday, and The Ink Spots. Most of the originals were before my time, but I have listened to them over the years. In fact, I once saw The Ink Spots  in a nightclub in Chicago, pretty much by accident. I think we just happened to stumble in.

The fifties ushered in a fusion of rhythm and blues and country. In 1951, disc jockey Alan Freed, in Cleveland, Ohio, coined the term “rock and roll” and held the first rock concert. It was called The Monday Coronation Ball. Now you know why the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is in Cleveland.

The first true rock & roll song is debated, but Bill Haley’s “Rock Around The Clock” was the first to top the Billboard chart. Other early rock and roll artists included Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Little Richard, Eddie Fisher, Perry Como, Ray Charles, Smokey Robinson, and James Brown. It’s speculated that Bill Haley was so popular because he was white and more sellable. Many white radio stations were more willing to play him than the black artists of the time. Remember, we weren’t so far along in our race relations in the 1950's.

At any rate, the 50's was a little early for me. I was a 60's and 70's rock fan. That period covered my teen years into early adulthood, with college and marriage in-between. I attended a lot of concerts over those years, many at the Mississippi River Festival, at SIU Edwardsville. Some of the bands I heard there and other places included The Band, with Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, Fleetwood Mac, Van Morrison, The Eagles, Pink Floyd, The Everly Brothers, John Lee Hooker, Wille Nelson, John Prine, George Thorogood, Jackson Browne, Cheap Trick, Marshall Tucker, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Santana, Eric Clapton, The Steve Miller Band, Dr. John, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and The Who. At least, those are some I can remember. It gets a little hazy.


I am a collector of primarily 60's and 70's music. The first album I ever bought was “Paul Anka Sings His Big 15". I think it cost $2.50. The year was probably 1957 or 58. I’ve purchased about 999 others since than. My top ten follows: 1. My favorite album ever: The Beatles, “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”. 1967. 2. “Highway 61 Revisited”, by Bob Dylan. 1965. 3. “Exile On Main Street”, by The Rolling Stones. 1972. 4. “Astrol Weeks”, by Van Morrison. 1968. 5. “Are You Experienced”, by Jimi Hendrix. 1966. 6. “Tapestry”, by Carole King. 1971. 7. “Hotel California”, by The Eagels. 1976. 8. “Dark Side of the Moon”, by Pink Floyd. 1973. 9. “Legend”, by Bob Marley and The Wailers. 1984. 10. “Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme,” by Simon & Garfunkel. 1966.

As you can see, rock and roll dominates my taste. I’m something of a one-dimensional music lover. But then, I’m a boomer.

MOST LIBERAL DOG IN ARKANSAS

IT SURE IS GOOD HAVING A DOG. AROUND WHERE I LIVE, MOST PEOPLE ARE RIGHT-WING REPUBLICANS, SO I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE TO TALK POLITICS WITH. GIVEN THE SITUATION, I TURN TO MY DOG. HE IS A 100 LB GOLDEN DOODLE. HE KIND OF BACKS UP TO THE COUCH, PUTS HIS BUTT ON IT AND SITS THERE WITH ME. WE TALK POLITICS AND WATCH TV. SOMETIMES THE DOG CHANNEL, WHICH I SEEM TO LIKE MORE THAN HIM. HE DOESN'T SEEM TO MIND MY LEFT-WING LEANINGS. HE SEEMS TO LIKE OBAMA AND IS EAGER TO SEE HILLARY BECOME THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT. I'M PETTY SURE HE IS NOT RACIST, ALTHOUGH HE HASN'T SEEN ANY BLACKS HERE IN THE VILLAGE. HE LIKES FEMALES. EVERY TIME HE MEETS A FEMALE DOG, I CAN TELL. HE'S SORT OF TRUMP LIKE IN THAT REGARD. I DON'T THINK HE LIKES WAR, 'CAUSE HE DOES NOT LIKE TO FIGHT. HE RUNS FROM A 7LB RAT TERRIER THAT SCARES HIM HALF TO DEATH. HE DOES SEEM TO BE FURTHER LEFT ON ANIMAL RIGHT THAN I AM, BUT THAT'S TO BE EXPECTED. ALL IN ALL, HE'S A GOOD COMPANION AND I CAN USUALLY GET IN THE LAST WORD.

DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL-2016

ANN AND I ARE VOLUNTEERING AT THE FESTIVAL THIS YEAR. I AM AN USHER. I WAS ABLE TO WATCH A MOVIE: THE HEART OF THE NUBA. NUBA IS ACTUALLY A MOUNTAIN RANGE IN CENTRAL SUDAN. THE FILM WAS ABOUT A DOCTOR WHO RUNS A HOSPITAL THERE. HE IS THE ONLY DOCTOR.  HE HAS SOME NURSES FOR ASSISTANTS. AT TIMES HE TREATS 400 PEOPLE PER DAY. HE IS THE ONLY SURGEON. THE NUBA PEOPLE COME UNDER AIR ATTACK FROM THE GOVERNMENT. THE PRESIDENT, OR KING, OR WHATEVER THE HELL HE IS, BOMBS HIS OWN PEOPLE. THE KICKER IS, FOR NO GOOD REASON. HE IS REPORTED EVERY YEAR TO THE WORLD CRIME TRIBUNAL, AND THE U.N., FOR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. BUT NO ONE EVER DOES ANYTHING. THE NUBA PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE MUCH CLOUT. THEY SUFFER HORRIBLY, WHILE JUST TRYING TO EKE OUT AN EXISTENCE. THIS JUST GOES ON, AND ON, AND ON, AND ON, AND ON.THE ENTIRE WORLD CANNOT GET ALL THE KINGS MEN TO STOP. A COLOSSAL FAILURE OF THE HEART.

YOU ARE PRO WHAT?

HERE IN THE VILLAGE, SOME OF THE CHURCHES HAVE THEIR LITTLE WHITE CROSSES OUT. THEY CLAIM TO BE PRO-LIFE.
HERE'S THE THING: IF YOU CLAIM TO BE PRO-LIFE, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE UP YOUR LOVE FOR WAR AND CAPITAL PUNISHMENT, AMONG OTHER THINGS. IF NOT, YOU ARE PRO-BIRTH. CALL IT BY THE RIGHT NAME.
NOT ONE TO LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE, I STOPPED IN AT ONE OF THE CHURCHES TO SEE THE MINISTER.  I ASKED HIM ABOUT HIS DISPLAY. HE SAYS GOD SUPPORTS LIFE, AND DOES NOT WANT US TO TAKE IT. I ASKED IF THAT INCLUDED CAPITAL PUNISHMENT AND WAR, TWO ENDEAVORS THAT PURPOSEFULLY TAKE LIFE. HE SEEMED STUNNED AND A BIT SPEECHLESS. YOU DON'T SEE A PREACHER SPEECHLESS TOO OFTEN. I LEFT.

A 50 YEAR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION.

CRAP! THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO. WE WERE 18. NOW WE ARE 68. I HADN'T SEEN MOST OF THOSE PEOPLE FOR 50 YEARS. SOME OF US CHANGED A LOT. SOME NOT SO MUCH. I COULD IDENTIFY ABOUT 2/3RDS, WE ONLY HAD 79 IN OUR CLASS. ABOUT A DOZEN HAVE DIED, AND ANOTHER DOZEN COULDN'T BE FOUND. I SUPPOSE THERE WERE ABOUT 35 OF US. FIFTY WITH SPOUSES. ANN AND I HAD A GOOD TIME. SHE IS A YEAR YOUNGER, BUT KNOWS MANY OF THE PEOPLE. THE 50 YEARS DID CAUSE A LITTLE COGNITIVE DISSONANCE IN ME, WHICH IS SORT OF A PSYCHOLOGICAL TERM FOR CONFUSION. MY MIND WAS REMEMBERING HOW WE LOOKED IN 1966 AND HAVING TO RECONCILE HOW WE ALL LOOK TODAY. (CAUSING COGNITIVE DISSONANCE IN CLIENTS IS A FAMILY THERAPY TECHNIQUE). ASIDE FROM ME LOOKING SLIGHTLY DAZED, THE WHOLE THING WAS GREAT FUN. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON IT, ESPECIALLY LINDA, WHO DIDN'T GET TO ENJOY IT. (HOPE SHE IS FEELING BETTER). SEEING EVERYONE REMINDS ME OF HOW IMPORTANT FRIENDS ARE, EVEN THOSE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN FOR 50 YEARS.

NEWS ALERT: YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST

ELECTION RESULTS:
    ELECTORAL COLLEGE: CLINTON-330 OR SO
                                                 TRUMP-210 OR SO

    POPULAR VOTE: (GIVES A NEW MEANING TO THE WORD POPULAR)
                                                  CLINTON WILL WIN BY 500,000 PLUS

THIS WILL BE CONSIDERED A MODERN DAY SPANKING, WHICH TRUMP WOULD PROBABLY ENJOY. EVEN FROM HILLARY. HE WILL CLAIM HE WAS CHEATED, WHICH HE DOES CONSERNING ALL HIS FAILURES.

SENATE: DEMOCRATS BY 2
HOUSE: DEMOCRATS WILL COME UP JUST SHORT OF A MAJORITY.
