Facebook

I just "deactivated" my Facebook account.  This blog and Flickr photos will be the only places online where I'll post from now on.  Obviously I've done this several times before, always going back to it eventually.  It is possible I'll do that again, but for now I don't want to be there, exposed to politics on the left and right that I find obnoxious.  :-)  As an anarchist I tend to piss off both sides of the left-right spectrum, and that's all right, I just am sick of thinking about it.


Sure, I could scroll past the various nationalistic and uber-patriotic posts I see constantly on Facebook, but what would be the point of that?  At this time in the political cycle virtually everyone seems to have an opinion on which of the various lying bastard corporate whores would be the least disastrous for the nation, but there is really no choice in truth.

I've already made my anarchist and pacifist views plain to the people I was "friends" with on Facebook and virtually all of them reject those views, which is fine really, but I don't feel much like reading the violence promoting (all government IS violence) state worshiping nonsense that will be clogging the news feeds for the next six months.  Rather than catering to all of this blatant American Statolatry I'm going to simply withdraw from the whole thing. 

But what will this blog be about then?  Well it will be about spiritual matters for the most part, or so I imagine. Interspersed here and there might be some posts about family events, camping and so forth.  Who knows where things will go from here, not into election stories that is for sure, since every word from the mouths of politicians is more likely to be a lie than the truth, and this blog will be about truth for sure. 


I'll be back soon!  But not on Facebook.  :-)

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
