I just thought I would check in with you all and let you know about something you probably already know about. Monsanto is by far the most evil corporation ever to exist so far. I say so far because there is ample opportunity for another corporation to emerge from the fog and take first place in this deplorable position.

Here’s a lsit of what they have done so far:

• Agent Orange
• Sacchirin
• GMO Crops
• Terminator Seeds
• DDT
• Artificial Fibers
• Aspartame
• rBGH
• PCBs
• worked on the Manhattan Project
• Produced LEDs
• filed lawsuits against Canadian farmers when Monsanto’s patented seeds blew onto the farmers’ land.
• Round-Up and Round-Up Ready GMO crops

I’m sure there are many, many more violations I can’t even think of at this moment.  And guess which presidential candidate and former first lady used to defend Monsanto?  You guessed it.  Hillary Clinton.  I’m sure they paid her a ton of money for that job.  It takes a hell of a lot of work to defend such criminal behavior and to get all of these toxic chemicals given a safe status to be used on the public.  About the worst offense this company has been a part of was most likely the Manhattan Project, but 90% of the work this terrible company does has had drastic and damaging effects on our environment and on our quality of life.  I don’t know how they’ve been allowed to thrive for so long, if not for the money and lobbyists they send out to convince politicians that all the moves this deadly company is making are good.

How many payoffs have there been behind closed doors with regards to Monsanto in the interest of degradation of our food and environment?  Is the cost of what Monsanto is doing worth a bunch of green pieces of paper?  I would say no and say that the cost will be much, much more and last for centuries, possibly longer.  But they fit well into civilization’s paradigm, don’t they?  They take, take, take without giving back.  Terminator seeds are the ultimate example of this.  They take seeds that grow plants that give out dead seeds, therefore destroying the cycle of life.  Their biggest wet dream is that in the future, everyone will have to keep buying their seeds from Monsanto every year instead of saving seeds from plants they already have.  But they are just playing the game, and playing it well, of civilization.

I’m really surprised Monsanto didn’t get in on those H1N1 flu virus vaccines.  That would have just put icing on the cake.  It’s funny how Monsanto doesn’t really think it needs to hide either.  They just do this all out in the open, and even use their legal powers to change laws such as that it is now legal to patent living beings.  A tragedy nonetheless.

Due to our housekeeper making too much noise for me to concentrate, I will continue this article at a later date.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Let’s try and move towards anarchy.  Let us go onto that road where there is no central control or authority, where we are free from tyranny.  Let us march down that road, even if we have to go down it alone.  Let us live like every other species in the animal kingdom by adapting to our environment instead of twisting our environment to fit us.  Let us leave other living creatures alone, or at least make it a fair fight.  Let us ban all factory farms.  Let us ban clear cutting forests and allow the Earth to heal itself.  Let us learn the skills of survivalism and become autonomous on our own terms.  Let us learn to find and eat wild edible plants and fruits.  Let us live the way we are meant to be living.

Let us build our own homes from natural materials and live close to nature and allow nature to slowly but surely take over the whole planet so that it will be our homes as well.  Let us get rid of agriculture and a mass hysteric society to form small tribes or communities where there is no coercion or guilt.  Let us love the life we live and live the life we love and give ourselves to a 2 million year old biological knowing that we are meant to be living with all other creatures, not separate and away from them.  Let us become what it truly means to be human.  Let us break free from the shackles of this society.

I just don’t feel like writing anymore. This blog has stayed dormant for some time and I still really don’t have much to write about. I’ve just not felt like writing. What am I going to say anyway? What revelation will I come up with that will wow everyone who reads this site? What else can I possibly say that hasn’t already been said? Apathy has gotten the best of me on this blog.  Who am I writing for anyway?  Are there even people out there anxiously awaiting my next post?  For the most part, I feel like I’m talking to myself.  And what’s the point of that?  Maybe it’s the fact that life may not even have a point.  The only point it has is the ones we dream up.  The socially conditioned ones.  We are told how and what to think our whole lives and discouraged from expressing ourselves in any other way.  We are told what is right and what is wrong.  But all of that is subjective and completely made up.  Everything just is.

What kind of world is there supposed to be anyway?  And who am I to tell anyone how to live their lives?  The universe is a place of such vastness that we know so little about that there is no way we could accurately know how we are supposed to live.  All I know from direct personal experience is that the way we live today is wrong.  But what can we do about it?  How do we find the right way to live?  Is there even a right way to live?  What would be the point of discovering the right way to live?  What would it mean against the backdrop of the cosmos and the timeline of infinity?  No matter what happens, in a trillion years there will be no trace of it.  Sure, we can live for today, but isn’t that kind of short-sighted?

This world we live in is full of life.  Who knows how many other planets have the same diversity we do.  But so what?  Is that something special?  Is this world so much better than any of the other planets just because it is lucky enough to be far enough from the sun to sustain life?  Or is it dumb luck that we are even here in the first place?  Our planet got lucky.  And over billions of years, we got to this point where one species dominates all the others and monopolizes every square inch of land.  We are here and have complex brains capable of doing things no other species can do.

“We are the middle children of history with no great war and no great depression.  Our great war is a spiritual one.  Our great depression is our lives.”

The whole universe is here and we are but a very, very small cog in a gigantic machine.  What is the machine’s purpose?  I do not know.  I cannot know.  There is no way to know.  We are born into this world clueless, without any knowledge of why we are here and we spend our whole lives trying to figure it out, but what if there is no reason?  What if it all is just one big random coincidence?  What if it was one big random accident?  Like the accident of agriculture.  The whole universe could be a colossal mistake, but we would never know it.  There are so many unanswered questions that nobody can answer.  How can we be certain of anything?  How do we know what we think we know?  Is it all just one big illusion?  What is the nature of existence?

I’m just trying to think through all of this here and since I pretty much write for myself on this blog, I’m going to continue doing this.

We live and die for our beliefs, but how do we know that they are accurate beliefs?  Most of the wars fought around the world are about belief systems crashing or simple domination.  It all seems so trivial against eternity, though.  Time keeps on ticking even when we are not aware of it.  Even before time, there was still life and there will be life after time.  Even if it is not measured, time is still experienced, but in a different way.  The dinosaurs had no concept of time other than the present and the recent past.  Time is but an illusion, but at the same time it does exist regardless of if we know about it.  Everything changes over time.  Everything from the smallest microorganism to the universe.  But it is all the same.  It is a universal law.

This is a very disjointed and erratic post, but I like it this way.  I’m not going to let anyone or any writing class tell me how to write.  I’m not going to be the standardized essay format.  Sorry, but that’s just not me.  I’m not going to think by society’s rules.  Sure, I may use their words, but how I place them is up to me.  I’ve forgotten how liberating it is to just let ideas flow and not have to frame them into complete paragraphs.  It just feels natural to think something and let my fingers start moving.  Being a writer is nothing special.  Anyone can write.  A writer is simply someone who writes.  No matter how poorly by social standards the writing is, it is still a written work.  A piece of art.  Unique.

Anyway, I guess I’ll call it a night.  I’ll try this again another day and see what else comes out.  Good night.

This blog has gotten to be quite a burden for me.  I can’t think of anything else to write about at the moment and it’s just sitting here, dead weight on the Internet.  I’m exhausted from working, so it’s hard to write here as well.  I don’t feel like enough people are actually reading.  I’ve been trying to add more content, but there just isn’t a spark for it right now.  Blogging as a medium has its perks, and I appreciate them.  I just don’t have the motivation to blog right now, nor the ideas with which to blog with.  Until I can figure out what else to write about, this blog will probably be pretty empty on the content side. Just because I won’t be writing as much doesn’t mean you can’t sift through the archives and check out some of my older stuff.

I’m sorry about this and I will resume writing when I get some more good ideas.  I’ve never had a fixed center for this blog and I feel like it alienated the readers.  I’m just writing here to write.  I don’t need anyone’s approval.  I can write about whatever I want and whoever wants to read it can read it.  And whoever wants to comment can comment, although I may be getting rid of the comments feature on my blog because I really don’t care about feedback.  All it does is overwhelm me with more ideas and schools of thought that just aren’t my style.  So I probably will disable that function.

I don’t think I’m going to try to earn a living from this blog anymore because I simply can’t keep up with those who have the ability to post more frequently and have better content than me.  I just don’t see that it will happen.  It’s been hard for me to do any deep thinking lately, as well as put together a compelling blog entry.  I’m going to say goodbye for now and I’ll be back up and running soon.  Be sure to check out the archives on the sidebar if you need to read some of my entries.  Good luck.
