Winning the War Within

When Henry rallied troops for one last standEvoking honor calling God to heelWho really won I think the dead fat manWhose only wish was one more merry mealIn what does loss or victory consistWhy victory is life devoid of liesDefeat the denouement no lie can twistNo matter how hard anybody triesThe borders of the Bard's mind now we reachBeyond he and the Carpenter walk freePast where old creeds lie spent on Dover BeachI think I hear them singing let them beAnd in this odd convergence I beginTo win the war that always was within

Beyond Pattern Language: Nooks, crannys, spots, room, my room, home, base

Beyond Pattern Language: Nooks, crannys, spots, room, my room, home, base: "All these are words for what we will call the next generation of construction for the cyber-city. "

I am risking being laughed out of the realm of discourse by submitting graphics that are not even of amateur level. But I am determined to do what I can to convey what I mean at my new Beyond Pattern Language blog.

We should declare war on guns not drugs

Russia: Shark Attacks in Vladivostok · Global Voices: "Jellyfish activity is not the only thing that has shocked the people of this area this season. Sharks are regular guests in the Japanese Sea, but their visits have never before been marked by attacks on people."

Perry AKA Bush 3 adds to his anti-gay creds

FreakOutNation » Republican Texas Gov Rick Perry Signs NOM’s Anti-Gay Pledge: " Texas Governor and Republican presidential hopeful Rick Perry signed a pledge vowing to support a Constitutional amendment declaring marriage to be a union of one man and one woman, the group sponsoring the pledge said on Friday. Previously, Perry has made it clear he believes it’s up to individual States to decide."

Tar Sands arrests will hardly make a dent in the big oil juggernaut's progress

NASA Scientist, Religious Leaders Arrested in Tar Sands Protest: "WASHINGTON, DC, August 29, 2011 (ENS) - NASA climatologist Dr. James Hansen was arrested today in front of the White House where he was demonstrating in opposition to the proposed Keystone XL tar sands pipeline that would bring thick crude oil from Alberta to refineries in Oklahoma and Texas. Dr. Hansen heads the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City and is a climate research scientist at the Earth Institute, Columbia University."

It doesn't make any difference

We do not heed truth

The oil truth is a dismal future for the planet

While the rich reap short term gains and the rest suffer loss

And the proof is the power and prevalance of the advertising

We are natural gas

Darned right you are

A thermogenetic essuflation

Leading us straight into the jaws of hell
