Here has been one of those extra day weekends,
when I get some time to rake some leaves.
Here is reference to Catherine Austin Fitts
who has written an insightful article
about how narcodollars work in our economy.

Read these little leafets, four little leafets,
Written sixty-three years ago, by a small group of twenty-somethings
At the University in Munich.
Something in the words might resonate.
Do you gotta wonder who
put those short essays together?
There is a photograph

and a movie.

Caught it Sunday afternoon.
Watch for it. If it’s coming by your way,
Take a Look.
If you’ve read the leafets first,
Your sense for the characters will be enhanced.
Rather well done.
Please duplicate and distribute.

To my well-informed friends at NCN, I have a request. I am currently teaching a composition course in argumentation, and part of the quarter’s requirement is to write a basic research paper. I’ve asked my students to submit their proposed topics, and one of them is interested in developing an informed opinion on the issues between the Israelis and the Palestinians. I would like to direct him to a few websites that can provide him with some balanced and reasonable perspectives on the issues involved. I know several of you are quite well versed in the deepest complexities of the history in this area. Where does one who doesn’t know much more about it than what he might find in the daily newspaper go to begin his self-education in this domain? Here is his proposal. More >

“the future of one of the earth's most vital resources is being determined by those who profit from its overuse and abuse. A handful of transnational corporations, backed by the World Bank, are aggressively taking over the management of public water services in developing countries, dramatically raising the price of water to the local residents and profiting from the Third World's desperate search for solutions to the water crisis. The corporate agenda is clear water should be treated like any other tradable good, with its use determined by market principles.”

Several years ago, in a kitchen one night with some itinerant friends, I was asked to draw something, rather spontaneously, on the spur of the moment, so with random pencil and paper, I generated a random assortment of lines which coalesced into this arrangement. It is, to this day, one of my favorites.
Just for fun.

on another note: When you have nothing better to do, and might be looking for a video to watch, check out
A Midnight Clear. I just finished seeing this 1992 movie for the first time, and it is worthwhile.
