Wow, go away on vacation for a couple of weeks (to a state where Marijuana is banned on most comps, missed y’all) and a good thread get’s even better.
As I read about the bison I thought "If my family was hungry I’d shoot the fucker between the eyes." Once Northern American Indians in a certain Great State of this beautiful Nation would heard bison over a cliff to be slaughtered and used for the Tribe. Now it seems everybody there just eats way too much dairy. I know I did while I was there...Oh the ice cream...so Good and Sooo bad.
But back in So Cal, I’m dealing with it. After replacing my room mates stash (no rehab for ice cream addiction...yet) the thread makes me think of modern dairy practices and how they relate to the economy and the biosphere.
Almost every Farmer, Rancher, Stock handler, Milker, Breeder Nursery Worker or Handler I have met seems to be of quality person directly proportionate to quality of work they do (even the ones who Love their chemicals) .
But like Madness (80's ska band) said "Madness, madness, it’s only madness".
(They were talking about something different though.). Is how I think about non- sustainable (the real definition of sustainable not the Corporate one), heavy reliance on pesticides, herbicides and the GMO’s to go with them, that is our Food supply soon to be our fuel supply (Monsanto Hopes).
Read Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoos’s Nest. I think one of his characters puts down one of the best sentences in the English language on what is going with the human race and it’s relationship to the Biosphere. (No hint’s got to read the book...ok it has to do with salmon.).
But I digress, time to do Push-ups. And eat some rice, beans, mushrooms, olive oil, all sorts of capsaicin, (Garlic?..Oh yea) , Italian herbs and stuff [I is Hongry].
Thank’s Everyone for the inspiration for Organic and Sustainable personal growth.
I don’t know rather to Thank or Apologize to The Memory of Ken Kesey and his vast talent for a lot of the stuff I just wrote.
Peace out.
