I have to attend to other matters.

But before he goes he gives us another ample dose of his most favored words and phases. Beginning with the ever unpopular "Codswallop". On to the oh so deeply cutting use of the word "Little". Rarely does he leave off of an opportunity to use "Warmonger" to describe his take on anyone who doesn't have a Ron Paul sign in his/her yard. Then there is his use of the phrase "Hand waving" to describe what anyone does who doesn't direct their posts to him in the manner that he sees as fit, or something.

It's such a pleasure when the Bucky1 comes to visit. Ain't it?

Scanning today's headlines once more, I notice a story which suggests researchers are closing in on a viable Viagra-like drug for women. Big Pharma reportedly has ignored low sex drive in women for a long time, too long say some; and it now appears a solution to the problem is within reach.

The new female sex driver will be called LibiGel.

Sad to say, no one has ever asked ME - a red-blooded American man - if this is a good idea.

A bunny eats and nibbles. Humans need to eat good food. The world is diverse.

An agrarian character I enjoy reading is Wendell Berry. He won't hurt. Honest.

~ There was a inner city rubbish lot. Someone said, "Turn the garbage lot into a salad plot."

Walk there and check out the beans Quick! Pick them greens yourself because the bunny will. They are fine looking greens said a Bug Bunny!

A bug circled around the patch of plants. Then, gads.

Out of nowhere someone here said here and there again.

People said, "A little child will lead."

She went to running to the bean patch.

At first ya's think a little child can't harvest beans?

But there was plenty that the urban dweller did change.

A old man and Lady can't raise the dead. The Earth is made up and composed of the former Earth inhabitants, bugs, worms, and homo sapiens too. One person can't make a world loving and kind all in one day, and not everyone gets to be called a billionaire.

But a patch of ground in a trash lot ---- Bloomberg too --- can change that.

Can change it big.

That's someone I'd vote for --- for sure.

Wendell Berry is from Kentucky. He says, "Take one step towards a world where food is eaten with a sense of Health and Justice. But Food with Justice requires structural change as well.

Here we were j, my son and I with seed catalogues, just talking about small bug holes in some delicious lettuce.

And then pops up Presumptuous Insect!

Yummy for the tummy.

Thanks P.E. Yippee yak.

If you swallowed a Viagra pill a doc may have to surgically dissipate a rock from Gibrawlter?

You best stick with leaf greens leeks, peas, and red lettuce.

you sure sound like a narrow minded bigot this morning.

Welcome to Salon, where the ultimate irony is that these so-called bigot hunters are the biggest and worst bigots of them all.

Person A: I think X

Person B: X is wrong, I hate X, X is racist/sexist/antisemitic/stupid because I believe in Y. You're a bigot because I hate everything about X.

Rinse and Repeat until you throw up.

to post most of the hate anonymously, that way you can look like less of a smallminded bigot, while claiming everyone who doesn't think like you, say religious people, are nothing but morons who are beneath you.

Salon's comment sections are the home to many a closeted, divide and conquer, hatemongering bigot.

TIME TO HATE SOMEONE MERELY BECAUSE THEY BELONG TO A CERTAIN SUBGROUP (unless that subgroup happens to be female, or black, or gay. They get a pass when it comes to bigotry and calling others bigoted).

WEDGE ISSUES INCOMING!!

You're nothing but a bigoted, narrow minded moron, you are beneath me. Get thee to a nunnery. Feel better?

It's true

big·ot /ˈbɪgət/ Pronunciation[big-uht]

–noun

a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

Describes most of the comments on Salon perfectly. Just because you claim to "love the poor" doesn't mean you aren't a smallminded bigot who hates "everyone else".

And seeking solace in drugs or addictions only keeps the renters inside.

People have always used drugs or other means of altering consciousness.

Fasting and running are two ways to alter consciousness without using external chemical means. Under stress the body produces its own drugs, endorphins, which are endogenous opioid biochemical compounds.

Ever wonder why people can't just be satisfied with alcohol as a recreational drug?

Why doesn't everyone enjoy an alcohol buzz?

Why do ADHD children react to Ritalin by calming down? Ritalin is actually a stimulant not all that different than meth.

Chris Dodd says some interesting things about Pakistan in a 12/28 MSNBC interview.

just read any article on Salon that mentions "religion" or the "environment" (funny seeing as how they are becomming the same thing).

Read the comments of any article about religion, and you'll see these so-called tolerant and enlightened Salon Commenters go off the handle and start calling religious people smallminded retards, simply because they are religious.

Of course, if an article about black people appeared on Salon, these same people wouldn't be calling black people "stupid n words", simply because they are black.

Who writes:

"Of course, if an article about black people appeared on Salon, these same people wouldn't be calling black people "stupid n words", simply because they are black."

Not a good analogy because one's skin color is not a choice.

So what? So hating people simply because they believe in god isn't a choice either?

Dear Bebop! It really tickles me that you love an author named “Berry”! I will have to take a look at his work. He wants food with Justice? That means that even we bugs, we nobodies that no one sees, have our fair share? I like that.

In this letter section, we have talked a bit about the problem of despair in the face of overwhelming greed, corruption, and lawlessness. I recently saw Bill Moyers’s discussion with Cahill and Tutu, whose words counteract this tendency. I think Moyers drew some spiritual lessons from these conversations, but I found his guests’ ideas to be truly pragmatic:

Cahill: "I don't think that real civilization ever occurs because of anything that a nation state does. It occurs because of movements within the nation state that are led by sometimes one individual or a series of individuals. Desmond Tutu is an excellent example of that."

Tutu: “I would hope that the world would realize that there is no situation that is not transfigurable, that there is no situation of which we can say, 'This is absolutely, totally devoid of hope,' because that is what people thought about South Africa. And that the star turns of this report [of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission] are those we wrongly call just ordinary people. There are no ordinary people in my theology, but it is the small people, the ones who used to be nonentities, they are the stars and for the world to know that those called-so-called ordinary people are incredible.”
