Amen. Can we also lock up all the genocide enablers in the US government and media, or at the very least dump them all on Saint Helena island to fend for themselves?

The world is a better place because of minds like Caitlins’

That’s for sure.

Two things:

1) Energy flows where the attention goes.

2) None of us would be here at all without the abundant generosity of nature, which has supported us since long before the birth of empires and capitalism.

We could almost have have had that world. But then someone started saying that being rich and controlling everything is what will keep us free.

This is a fantasy that I share with Caitlin. The poor man needs that evil smirk off his face before it becomes permanent. It's an act of mercy to remove it for him.

If you want that, you’ll have give up your culture—your western colonizer corporate culture that ensures your safety, your full belly and your technology. And lets you hope for MORE for your children. Pay attention to the people your government has oppressed, stolen from and disenfranchised to guarantee your taken-for-granted rich soft life and maybe your eyes will be opened to how much you are the author of your own disappointments with your world. “Surrounded by treasure, you lie ill at ease. Proud beyond measure you come to your knees.” This is the fate of the takers.

Jeano, I really like your quote.

“Surrounded by treasure, you lie ill at ease. Proud beyond measure you come to your knees.”

The Tao de Ching by Lao Tzu. Translated by Witter Bynner. It’s the only thing that keeps me sane in this insane world. There’s another translation by Stephen Mitchell but it’s vastly inferior to Bynner’s. Every morning I type in the 1st 2 sentences above, and up pops my spiritual Wheaties for the day! 🤓

You first Jeapo. Move to the North Pole. It will make us all happy. You won't need any kind of government there - bonus points!

Jeano's avatar

I’m so glad I have the ability to interfere in your corporate controlled yuppie sheep dipped colonialist happiness by NOT moving to the North Pole. And what makes you think there’s no government there you moron!

Jammikins is having another bad day.

Late life menopause?

Jeano's avatar

It’s not menopause. Most women get smarter with menopause. They can finally see how their hormones were fucked with by “the Pill”. And they are furious about how they’ve been played. Dementa is just butt in a dress.

Why didn't Jeapo heart you? You did hers.

Jeano's avatar

Ahhhhh! And here he is ladies and gentleman—our general manager of the heart department. So good to see your inanities pop up, pointless and pathetic pronouncements that add nothing to the general welfare but can always be counted on appear. 🫶🫶🫶🫶

gypsy33 is weeping, Jeapo. She hearted you, and she thought she contributed sufficiently to your dissing jamenta to have earned a heart (or two) back. And you didn't. How heartless of you!

Do you think she's looking in the sky right now hoping to see swallows making love? To cope with her despair of your having showed her once again (successfully and skillfully) who's the boss?

Yes Jeano, this is a major thread in Caitlin's writing. Note where she wants plastic to be a controlled substance. Note where she wants plants and animals to be free.

She writes as a passionate and fearless champion of human liberation, and as a consistent opponent of oppressive western colonizer corporate culture.
