Well a true though somewhat spontaneous breakthru has somehow occured

I never doubted the brilliance of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons"

the first "programmed" music piece. Never until this weekend. And then it happened. Then the sheer aggrogance and pretenciousness and pomposness of it was revealed to me through the inception or reworking of a truer version of its global new/old kind of conception or work.

This was when I by chance had the opportunity to witness the notion of it in truer form. A form I'm not sure by who contrived but executed most succinctly by mostly 5 woman music artists from around the world. Emminent Artists of distinction and grace.

Witness: The Four Seasons Mosaic

The sheer magnitude of this endeavour "Steals Vivaldi's Baby" and also exposes Vivaldis pure and blasphemous Western Arrogance from which it was born.

Somehow by process and autuor unknown though it is transformed into a pure though highly complex true "GLOBAL" Master Piece. How vain I or Vivaldi was I think to concieve this "program" without the consultation and benefit of the global peoples and musics less prominent or popular but equally or more proficient and valued.

It, then this new The Four Seasons Mosaic is a moumental achievement of the human spirit made well and whole again.

At long last the Global Symphony has returned to our ears and hearts.

The Iraq Solution May 14, 2006 Canada Sunday

Someone has observed that perhaps the reason for wars and killing
is that on the contrary such presents a very logical and rational choice as a means to progress opposing political, religious, geopolitical, ideological and other stances.
That the finality of death, war and such though disturbing is a logical though
unfortunate reality and hence solution. The idea of preemptive war is just
then perhaps an imagined extension of this logic.
Here is my response to that keen insight.
_____________________________________________________

Yes perhaps that is the situation and so do you suggest that rather than be rational

and logical that nations demonstrate some love or....??? irrationalness or a

superior sort of reason? other than the logic of death and war? Well an interesting

point. So we should thus tell our leaders not to be logical and rational and be....???

don't know how good that would go over though.

Well it certainly wouldn't work unless both or all sides agreed to be equally illogical

or irrational or loving then.... but hmmmm interesting....

if you could get both or all sides to do and commit to that then it just might work.....

but I'd say we'd have our work cut out for us to make that happen.

Well though too who could broker such a deal though? Who would dare suggest

something so..... illogical? Who could get away with something so ..???? bizarre....

Homer Simpson of course.... hee hee cool well perhaps not

maybe Lisa Simpson.... or Marge Simpson but ....????????

Actually despite how ridiculous it sounds I think it would work and it is the only

semi-logical solution that I have heard since 2003 or since 911 that I think

even has a chance of working .... so good on us all. Strange as it seems it has at least

some promise and hope. Well done

 Civilization seems an Illusion.5 comments

Perhaps once there was a civlization called humanity but
alas no more. We pay lip service to the notion of civilization
but when it comes right down to it... the lines are drawn between "citizenry" and econmics. Mankind therebye has not created now a society or civilizaton but basically has turned the world into one big global "MARKETPLACE". Everything seems parceled and "measured" and "advertized" and sold, and has a value or price or notion of price. Damages. Yet some of the most precious things that defy price have not recieved the support of the materialists. Even though they may indeed be necessities of a sort. The market place does not recognize or pay for them because in a sense it doesn't have to. The value of nature, art, music, health have all been turned it to commodities of sorts and disected and anaylized and even faith seems at times to have become a commodity.

So this talk of a new civilization is moot.
What we need is a "NEW MARKET PLACE" ..... the dominant factor as even law can be bought it seems, witness celebrity justice or microsoft monopolyness with their deep pockets. It seems it is the depth of the pocket then that determines justice now.... and maybe thats the way it has to be or if not then it might be addressed by looking honestly at the market place and perhaps giving it some semblance of "conscience". A conscienscious and responsible market place has now to be formed.
The new "Green Market Place".... we cannot have a new civilization therefore with out first changing the market place. Because people despite what they say and do.... vote with their dollars. A store may be unethical it seems to its workers and the environment but no ones seems to care if at the end of the day it has the lowest price. Quality costs though and you do tend to get what you pay for and it you want to live in a junk yard then don't buy green because caring and peace, nature, true art and harmony costs. They have value though we tend to disregard that in favor of expediency and the short term.

I don't know ...

What have I said...

nothing you perhaps didn't already know.

but that if we want a new civ though we will have to pay for it and make it pay too and still to leave room for the priceless.

Hmmmm well I suppose it makes sense to use
sick or irrational people to fight and sick
or irrational war.

Seems logical Yes?
