COYOTE & CROW
Crow asked Coyote,
"Have you figured out this "like-button" stuff?"
"Sure," said Coyote. "They give you two choices:
Pepsi, or Coke. Democrat, or Republican.
You gotta hit "like" for one."
Perplexed, Crow asked, "And if you "unlike" both?"
"That's tough," laughed Coyote.
"Then you just gotta crap and go someplace else."
And Crow, a bit unsettled and still confused,
"But WHERE?"
And Coyote said,
"That's the problem."
TODAY's theme at THEATER OF THE NEW?...Money!
What's money? Well, as anyone who knows me can
tell you, "The only thing I personally know about money
is whether I have it or don't." But, seriously, money from
the ethical perspective is clearly a species of movement
which always seems to be going in the WRONG direction,
from poor to rich. DEBT, is the engine. COMPOUND
INTEREST, its seemingly inexhaustible fuel. This violates
not only logic, but more importantly, Nature's economy
of mutual benefit and equal distribution.But, with computer power doubling and halving in price
each year, this contradiction of "money parenting money,"
as Aristotle called it, is quickly getting much, much worse.
But don't take my word for it. Watch these two excellent
TedTalks . . [please retweet]
