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. :-/

Wikileaks and police state censorship

I saw an article today on SF Gate about some nit wit Bush appointed Federal Judge ordering a website I'd never heard of called Wikileaks shut down because they were publishing some bank documents from some corrupt Swiss bank. The amusing thing is that they can't actually do it! Even more amusing is that this just draws attention to the site and makes it that much more visible, yay idiot goons! :-) There are mirror sites all over the world and it's almost impossible for thuggish police state goons to figure out how to close off all of the leaks :-) One mirror site is here: http://wikileaks.be/wiki/Wikileaks The US site they tried to close down is still here: http://88.80.13.160 "Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' Vanity asks the question, 'Is it popular?' But, conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe,...

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
