the state of the sate
 Oaxacan political graffiti - foto by smith blogs are in reverse-chronological order, which makes sense if you’re reading daily because the latest entry is always at the top. but it’s one big mess if you’re trying to read the whole story. we’ve got 942 blogs since june 30, 2006. i need to go through them to see if any are applicable to our manuscript, so i’ve been manually putting them in chronological order. that’s 22 months of cut & pasting. took 4 days to do. glancing through the blogs, i see both Lady and i used to write a lot more political and global warming entries. we’ve both slowed way down. think it’s because at first we thought the bad guys could be stopped - which doesn’t seem to be happening. then we thought the bad guys would soon be out of office. but the bad guys may refuse to leave office. and even if they do, the people coming in are as bad. we’ve accepted that the world is fricked up, or at least mankind’s portion of it. greed and global warming have abrogated any future we might have. so our problem becomes not saving the world, but making our own little corner of it as magic as possible. we brighten our corner and make life around us better for others, and make life within us better for ourselves. as for the rest of the world - so long, it wasn’t all that great knowing you what with the human destruction and lying and killing and thieving and inaction and silence and gobbling greed (and that’s just Vice-Dick Cheney). i figure when we’re all been wiped off the face of the planet, Mother Earth will be a much happier, more peaceful, tranquil, beautiful place. the fewer humans, the better for Gaea.
