Iduno whatta yas think about Wisdom Traditions?

[Gary F. Moraco]

Many good ideas went the way of progress.It needs to be mentioned now and again that its not progress when we become less human.So Mr. R.U,I'm just calling you that cause I know your anti-authoritarian,what better way to get a discussion going than to find out what we arent.All this singularity stuff does sound like something out of Star Trek.Notice i used big letters for Star Trek.An American Original.Now your gonna tell me this originated from another planet or some gas in a swamp.Just kiddin I'm sure its swamp gas.Or maybe thats just my bedroom.So what was i talking about?All our medicines go to a lab then they destroy the origin from wence it came.Not progress.Putting computer chips in people.Not progress.Giving steroids to immature adults.Not progress.Someone please ad to this.I had to add to this because someone wants to liberate me from my confusion,So let it be known that I'm quite aware of current political poop on the latter.I'm not climbing it so if you would like to challenge my point of veiw dont insult my intellect with nonsense like motivational speaker ding dongery.Dig big daddy?

[Mike S.]

Wait a minute, who ever said this coalition is about progress?
I'm rather confused, I don't understand how this thread relates to this coalition.

[Gary F. Moraco]

[Gary F. Moraco]

I appologize if i confused you Mike.I didnt take the time to look up the definitions for coalition or progress.Seeing your response would suggest that either your in a relationship or in hell.I can get you out of hell if you consider that Lao Tze was not an authority figure, just a hostage.I'm feeling that way also.It would seem that all the smart people have to get all the not so smart people out of trouble every generation.All the tree huggers have real humility while still being accused of being trouble makers and backwards.All the backwards people get to say what ever will little or no consequences.As you can see i dont correct my spelling any more.Does that make me backwards?No just in a hurry.I dont like the fact that I've been made to feel less of a person cause i dont agree with most of what passes for information.Most of it is whitewashed and put in a nice tablesetting and passes for something we should all accept.So if yor looking to make a difference i suggest you ask someone else.I'm just pissed off at people that have there heads up there keester and want to tell me what to do.I'm also a drunk but you dont see me getting billions of dollars to get my picture taken.Or think there better than street thugs.There actually worse because they have more resourses with no common sense.I dont forgive George Bush Sr.for his remarks about environmentalists or saying I'm less of a person because he has all the answers.This is The QuestionAthourityParty not the Shell answer man.

I think since you seem a little grouchy? You have inspired me. I just realized recently how important it is to be inspiring but it might be like all the other things best to avoid expectations. It is not so much important as easy.

Hey you aren't one of these people that has the money and the connections but is always rushing around? I would say it is safe to say you are not some misanthrope who lives a solitary life punctuated by ritualistic communication over the internet. I would say that but I think we have three of them here already.

[Gary F. Moraco]

I'll go back to see what I read on occasion to see if im understanding the subject matter.There's always another way to see things.There's usually some interesting ideas in the R.U.Sirius crowd.I've been listening to his podcasts so I'm familiar somewhat as to a discusion may go.As I understand QuestionAuthority group it should draw oddballs that make interesting conversation.I'm not sure what direction its going so your guess is as good as mine.I really still do look up word meanings even if I use them and think I know them.Coalition or Progress.I'm more interestied in my meaning and others meanings to see if we can get the true understanding of the words.Did you want to discuss Civil Liberties?I always sound grouchy even when I'm joking.I need someone following me around to ask if I'm joking or pissed off.But please dont ask me to explain or the joke will be lost.Dont you think that the comedians want to reelect more republicans because there excuses are so absurd?Even if Jesus is there homeboy I'm not sure the universe can handle my boredom with there answers.

[Carl Ballard Swanson (banzai9)]

I don't want to sound so high and mighty because I am first on the stupid list - however I was told by happy people I believe to think of boredom as another form of laziness ..respectfully, I also think of laziness as a great motivator of efficiency.. then you might wonder what you are getting more efficient at. As for comedians- they say humor is very much related to tragedy.

I wonder if entertainment becomes more interactive will politics also become more interactive?

[Gary F. Moraco]

i'm having a real hard time understanding all you motivational speakers.Sounds like bullshit.Motivate me to pay your bills for trusting authority?Dont get me started Lord!

[Carl Ballard Swanson (banzai9)]

Maybe if you try really really hard?

Tell me if something more specific and inspirational occurs. I have not received your first check yet.

There are lots of different kinds of bills but you might not like my accounting system, it takes into account lost potential, spoiled resources and communication overhead not to mention lost and squandered liberty of one form or another. However all that is in the past, what is in the future?

... wait the vision is about to come clear aummmm mmm oh spirit of the great beyond what does the future hold?... I see a failed attempt to rescue a bankrupt culture who has lost all sense of true value..mmm much warfare and coercion mmm spirit stop with the bad visions.. show us the good stuff... I see a new global collaboration, electricity is free, government and cars are rare everyone has an assault rifle and access to universal health care, insurance companies no longer exist.

[Gary F. Moraco]

One of my favorite movies.How did you get that image there?This is all guesswork for me.When i said i'm a luddite I wasnt kidding.If something works for me on this computer it's probably someone with a remote control trying to help me.Of course,yes here it comes,My trust capacity is like a pasta callendar.So that's why i even bothered to try this out.To me it was only possible for any of the current events to happen because of the education that people recieved.I did poorly in school for several reasons.mostly Parents that had been penalised for questioning athority most of there lives.So it may stand to reason that I was gonna be a confused kid.But I'm certainly not gonna believe much that comes out of conventional thinking.Da end.

[Mike S.]

I still don't fully understand what you're on about, but seeing as you appreciate the importance of education and don't seem to accept conventional thinking in that area, I wonder if you are already familiar with Sudbury schools. They are one of my main areas of activity in life.
I can give a few useful links about them if you are interested and do not feel like doing the research yourself (which is reasonable enough.)

[Gary F. Moraco]

On what?i'll look into it but dont think your gonna scare me away that easily.i'm watching all the "free thinkers" get snagged by convention thats what I'm hear about.Just like 2000,2004 and watch it happen again in 2008.Buncha hypnotized zombies puching up the boulder just so it can roll back down on them.Thats what Im here about.Sudbury huh?
