Heylo,
I have felt for some time that I wanted to do a blog focused on whatever the phunk I want...music, philosophy, food, health, insanity, questions, quests, jokes, ideas ideas ideas. As ACIM says, sharing ideas can only strengthen them b/c by giving them we do not lose them. An idea about ideas.
So here we are, in the exploding world of information and sharing (or not). I am making this blog to share, to interact, to inspire, to challenge, to vent, to create, to be criticized!
Unbridled opinions and raucous corrections are desired/required.
To get into something that may affect us all….my soul brother Corey B. sent me a message about Monsanto and others trying to pass H.R. 875: Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, which poses some questionable desires for these mega-corporations. If you check out the previous link, scroll down to “Title IV—Enforcement” and Sec. 401 concerning “prohibited acts.”
It is clear that the goal is to keep our food safe from them darn terrorists, while also adding a stronger government grip on life in the states and the world (since imports will have to meet the bill’s standards). Basically, a new government agency will be created as a FOOD POLICE, clearly because we are not safe on our own!
As always, we citizens of the nation are allowed (ought to) to voice our opinions to our representatives: written letters, phone calls, e-mails…maybe a personal visit? If something just makes you squirm and you have the guts to tell your representative, then go for it! The link that follows will lead you to contact info for the politician that speaks for you. Speak Freely!
Never fails that I rant on and on…I will stop….for now.

my thinking is that food is a lesser problem. the deal i see is a world unsure of its forward path. energy sources are the backbone of economy or life. the crisis opens an opportunity to address energy sources and our relationship to them. if we want to rant, blog, and get straight, let's talk a post-petroleum economy. n
I got nothin'. But yo, good to see some broadcasted thoughts of a long lost buddy. Couch space in Brooklyn... We'll be in the valley tonight. Gimme a call.
Food is a necessary source of energy as well. A backbone, life itself. Depending on where you look for information, petroleum may soon be replaced by natural gas for some time, and then there is the mad dash to mine lithium in Bolivia (who has about half of the worlds reserves)for electric vehicles. Bolivia wants to nationalize the resource and not be exploited by the multinationals who are eager to keep the global machine spinning.
How soon is post-petroleum?

Hey Cory Brotha,
Thumbs up! Thanks for sharing all your yummy and inspirational words (and more) with the world. I sadly took your old blog off my Bookmarks the other day, only to discover this one just moments after.
Love you and all that you do.
ps. I totally dig the Spanish Word of the Day. Nice thinking. I'll be checking in regularly.
