more on horticultural societies
http://www2.fiu.edu/~grenierg/chapter6.htm
"People tend
to have to work hard to plant, weed, harvest, and process food in horticultural systems.".................
good I say. keep those damned Humans busy and tired
horticultural society
http://www2.fiu.edu/~grenierg/chapter6.htm
no plowing of Mother Earth...........gardens. some hunting, some gathering.
rituals......togetherness.......community. campfire every night. partial nudity always nice.....
medicine was used to "ease" people from their "disease." not to make them live forever, even if a machine was breathing for them, and they couldn't do anything they enjoyed. fuck that shit, as some say. sign me up for Mesolithic health-care when my time comes.

zombies I can deal with....its Fascists I have a problem with
buggin' in vs buggin' out.........
buggin' out, if you get out, takes you out of the affected area. civil unrest, infrastructure failure......maybe radiation. you need to pack for the biggest camping trip of you life, you have to have foresight to roll before the SHTF, have extra fuel, risk the travel.......
buggin' in......saves a lot of your resources. you stay in situ, if you can. it assures you won't be stuck on some traffic clogged road with mobs of people who don't have food, or water, or fuel......scary. batten down the hatches, use stored water and collect more. have a larder of canned foods which already contain much of the water needed to cook them. not the type of heavy commodity you would want to pack into your SUV in a bug-out. possible networking with people already known to you, is another aspect to be considered............
I would attract and catch pigeons, squirrels..........whatever. eat them first and save the canned stuff
I have my seeds to plant, I have tarps for rain-catching. maybe we'll get knocked back to the Mesolithic Age.......and be human and happy again

I wanna be a street cleaner
I've given up paganism, and converted to Secular Humanism
http://www.secularhumanism.org/index.php?page=what§ion=main
I like Buddhism, Taoism, Shamanism, and Animism too. I don't care for any dogma that rates women as second-class citizens, espouses negative views of non-adherents, or seeks to gain wealth and power. I can understand how it all started...........when we were all part of the food resourcing network, we had no need of priests. we cowered from lightning ( a safe practice in my eyes!), huddled around our fires (mmmm......toasty), and listened to far-off beasts, that were just as formidable as us...........the talking bipedal ape. then........some genius planted some of those wild grass seeds, that were so tasty and nutritious. pretty soon, there was PLENTY of food. not everyone had to be part of the "food crew."
we needed scribes, to write down just how much of these grass seeds we have. one of these "scribes" was a big fella. a real mean motherfucker. he says.........I'M the HEAD scribe now,,,,,,see?? I'm magic. I can tell what the lightning means. I can make the sun return everyday. I'll make it good for you people. the priest-king. Meso-American rulers are a great historical example. in Eurasia, the priest-king was now represented by a war-making nobility that had one of its own (smart;) as a regent, and the priesthood was granted power to "aid" the ruler in maintaining "peace." peace, as in, peace for most of you, but war, fire, and devastation for others "god" supported the ruler, and in cahoots they burned a path through recorded history, which continues today.

how to avoid GMO's
http://www.wikihow.com/Avoid-Genetically-Modified-Foods
GMO's are about controlling our food, and thereby controlling us. the World produces enough food for 12 billion people on an average year. The population is 7 billion......about? 1 billion go hungry..............
where's our food going?

anatomy of a compost pile
melon vines..... |
burlap coffee bags........ |
some old spent mushroom media; full of yeasts |
sunflower remains. |
more coffee bags; need that carbon.......... |
more mushroom "compost"...... |
rotted peach baskets.......... |
a healthy heaping of rotted collard greens, straw, and burlap......crawling with woodlice, red wigglers, and night crawlers; lets all get to work! |
the cap of coffee bags, misted with hose, and quite nice to look at......for now |
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
