At least things don't suck this bad...
I have been busy!! I moved to Logan City Utah it is right outside of Salt Lake so I can be close by during her therapy. I am sorry but Mckenzie is not doing well I don't think she is going to make it through this. She is so sick and in pain almost all the time unless she is on painkillers then she can't remember who I am.
That was an e-mail I got from Nicole. Most of the time I thought she was lying, but I happen to believe her on this one.
Update: Read it here.
The Me I Don't Know.

The Difference is "Application" versus "Innovation"
Schools were designed by Horace Mann and Barnard Sears and Harper of the University of Chicago and Thorndyke of Columbia Teachers College and some other men to be instruments of the scientific management of a mass population. Schools are intended to produce through the application of formulae, formulaic human beings whose behavior can be predicted and controlled. To a very great extent, schools succeed in doing this. But our society is disintegrating, and in such a society, the only successful people are self-reliant, confident, and individualistic - because the community life which protects the dependent and the weak is dead. The products of schooling are, as I've said, irrelevant. Well-schooled people are irrelevant. They can sell film and razor blades, push paper and talk on the telephones, or sit mindlessly before a flickering computer terminal but as human beings they are useless. Useless to others and useless to themselves.This is an interesting read. I haven't checked out the rest of the site so I don't know how they're trying to spin this speech for their agenda. This speech was given by a "Teacher of the Year" during his acceptance speech. Stop. Ponder the future of this nation.

mutton
There is a good possibility that I think you're an idiot/moron/tool/sheep. Why? Because I feel that way about 85% of the worlds population. I don't want to turn into an elitest because I detest them. However, I understand now why they chose to go that route. After a while, you just get tired of putting on your sheepskin and searching for other wolves among sheep. Trying to be like everyone else has pulled me into confusion, ambiguity and a life without personal growth. So I have a choice to make: You can't set yourself apart and still blend in. Which will it be?
My friend Rabbit is a prime example. He's an intelligent and uncompromising individual. At the same time, he feels the solitude and sadness that goes with that. It is possible to be like Rabbit and not feel the solitude. It just takes alot of time, work, and patience, moreso than when sifting through the masses. Windy has done a good job of balancing the two. She is truely a minorty amongst the minority.
If you think I'm being a prick then you just don't get it and perhaps you should return to the herd. I'm not being a prick, I'm jaded and pissed off.

Words control our thoughts...
It is impossible to get rid of a world without getting rid of the language that conceals and protects it, without laying bare its true nature. As the social truth of power is permanent falsification, language is its permanent guarantee and the Dictionary its universal reference. Mustaha KhayatiExample:
- special interest donations = bribery

The Power of Touch
There are fundamental problems with society. Most people feel that they are alone and that no one understands them; that they stand at a chasm between "self" and "them" that is never to be breached. There is a solution to the problem. Something simple: Touch.
It doesn't have to be sexual or chalked full of emotion. Just by simply touching someone's back, arm, or shoulder you've made a connection with them. Even if they don't notice it, they'll feel it. That feeling, that "connection" is what matters. It's a section that has been missing from the bridge that spans the chasm of one person to the next.
We are social animals and our problem lies in society’s view of "independence". The status quo says you're a better person if you don't need anyone else and never need any help. It's been engrained in all of us. The individual has become an island unto themselves. This is wrong.
I'm not saying we can fix all of the world’s problems with such a simple solution but it would be a turn in the right direction.
