"prayer is the highest achievement
of which the human person is capable"

- Edith Stein
Blessed Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

making your bed

it may be that we have
collectively
created a social entity
that will collapse
under the very weight
which has been developed
in order to assure us
that we have nothing to fear

but be afraid anyway

the economic structure
of the free market
when taxed to its maximum strength
will implode
and become rubble
out of which perhaps
something new and interesting
can evolve

just think of the mayhem
when the gas pumps are dry

fascism: a dirty word?

it has yet to be proven
that mankind can exist
without the constraints
of social discipline

the question becomes:
how much discipline?

the next president
may do well to spend
some time in a garden
growing his or her own vegetables

the parody of information

a superficial exposition

what we refer to as the "news"
is but a doubled parody

a series of silly caricatures of life
and a caricature
of the the original intent
of televised news casting

the humanist doctrine

the humanists
are managing the world
the world they want
with incessant babble

humanist evangelism
is a form of psychological tyrrany

the grand illusion

capitalism in USA
presumes no limits

when the limits are finally faced
it may be too late

the demands of induced consumerism
will eventually require
national stomach stapling

or
accepting widespread famine

the politics of deceit

they appear to mean well
either they are formed intellectually
to reason with crass disregard
for the immediate good
or
they are cynical
pretending to serve the common good
while only serving some very selfish
and myopic ends

wisdom is too expensive for them
