NI Mah bee ah gon anishnabe, ‘desh I think THIS is just swell….
You know in Bodwyn Wook we have been broaching the idea of the secession of, say, Minnesota and Western ‘Sisconsin and Hither Dakota, just in order to be able to live under the original US Constitution as of the 14th (equal protection) and 18th (universal sufferage) amendments. But, as you have just seen here, these ’skins have their own ideas too — and why not?
Whether we like to face historical facts and unfoldings or not, basically the US is no longer a very workable proposition.
The potential is there, but the non-productive political and professional classes do have to be served notice that the plane has landed and won’t be taking off again just on account of the ozone layer. Unfortunately, the immoral taste for high-flying subsidy is far too strong now, and not only among the Interglobal Thieving CEOs. There is as well the essentially criminal business among so-called “liberals,” of living off all of the indentured college grads paying off loan-indentures for years and decades. That fact alone has severely reduced the authority of the “academic” community, which in any case now has no Greek, no Latin, no Math and altogether NO culture.
(For what it is worth, the white people who stole off of the Indians in those days anyway at least were up to their own mark — but, as Old C G Jung said, the historical fate of these swagbellied Americanos now is that of all usurper peoples.)
But, we are as well very possibly also at the end of this brainless GOP “NeoCon” Dick Cheney-Paul Wolfowitz-Hillary Obama late-modern nation-state hocus-pocus for a lot of other reasons, not least of which is that these folks one and all are miserably fake “conservatives” or at best, agents of a fading status quo. Time and tide waits for no man or “his” woman, however, and there are other things going on much more decisive than the halfbaked twitchings of political halfwits:

IF The preceding is anything like the right picture at all of the near-future, then we shall have no other choice whatsoever but to develop a WHOLE LOT of human interiority. On this last point, please see the following category at Bodwyn Wook, for some pretty blatant pointers about how:

ANYWAY, If each one pays attention everyday to developing mentally the gift of a good death for themselves and all those they have ever loved, there is nothing to fear — and, human being is assured after all that, as painful as it may be on the road there, we shall pass all together beyond ourselves. Indeed we already have done this, thanks to the good hearts and strong souls and spirits of those like Amos and Ione Owen, of our Old Mankato’s own annual Wacipe at Land of Memories Park. So at the end of the day, we don’t need to “secede” from anything or borrow trouble in any other way — all we need do is to be calm and to wait, attentively.

Clever
In the mean time we may secede from them in our minds!
BTW that post over at my pad was inspired by your story about Amos and the Little People.
That was in ‘89 when Amos seen The Little People there at the dance in Mahkato — but, his old friend Porky White from Lac d’Oreilles over in Wisconsin said, “Don’t get excited….there’s still a LOT of assholing around to come!”
Plus your comment about that first story of mine kind of got me going now, too….
Oh! One more thing – - I checked out the global warming link – - and pretty much agree with him but for one thing: We didn’t cause it. Blaming humanity is a political tactic and nothing more. Peak oil too: Sure we’re going to run out of oil someday but not for a few hundred years. I think we have time to build that car that runs on water before then!
Meanwhile the corporate elites use global warming as a way to make us pay more in taxes and gas and food, plus restrict our movement . . . while they build 10,000 foot mansions and fly their SUVs and private planes all over the place. Spare me, Mr. Gore!
Bottom line: Do the exact opposite of what the corporate and government elites suggest. If their lips are moving, and they’re actually lowering themselves to our level to speak to the peasants, they have an agenda and are probably lying.
Here’s what’s happening:
http://batflattery.blogspot.com/2007/03/its-sun-stupid.html
We have begun a new solar cycle: It’s flares are going to be ENORMOUS pretty soon and the entire galaxy is experiencing “planetary warming.” The surfaces of Venus, Mars and Jupiter are all showing atmospheric changes. So, there really is nothing at all we can do about the Earth except to discover different ways to cope with the changes.
That said, we should do all those eco thingies anyway, because Americans are a bunch of pigs. We really need to learn how to pick up after ourselves! Whatever happened to doing The Right Thing for its own sake?
As so often in other cases, again with the changing climate human beings individually are confusing their isolated fear and awe inside their separate bodies, of personal death. They naturally through the mechanism of projection so necessary for social activity confuse their fates with “the end of the world.” So it is that the socially powerful among them call frantically on each other to band together like lemmings. But as always, initial stupidity is not the end of the world, just of another of its phases time-for-time. People act in a jumpy manner because of automatic collective responses, to emotions and physical states such as fear and tiredness. However, these spasms are also the opportunity for a few more each time around to really delve into the wonders of the ‘Alam al-Mithal, the Imaginal Realm. It is here and nowhere else that “it” all exists beforehand, all of the invention, all of the passion, all the folly and onesidedness and, finally, love that physical creatures leap so bravely every time, to “act out.” All reality originates “here” in the mind, as creative responses to conditions. It is, when you think of it all clearly, in fact the essence of the statistical evolutionary process. It is thus ironic to see “scientific” people with extensive scientific conditoning nonetheless get carried away into premature actions. The real requirement of effective knowledge as Frank Herbert points out (in Dune!) is, when you find you are in ar-Raisuni’s dungeon in the Rif Mountains and manacled to the wall, to first of all keep calm. Only then can you expect to figure out in which way it is that “the horse will sing.” Escape is impossible until you know that, and in the meantime all activity is worse than silly, it is positively harmful. Don’t say this to Mr Bush or Mr Gore, though. Not only is it bad manners to disturb these busy officials, it wastes time you would better devote individually to our general mental development and overall improvements in “magical thinking.” In this last activity lies the whole renewal of our exhausted science of today, and all of the sciences of the future.
Hi, it’s me and I really enjoyed this about the Dakota people declaring independence, the real normal people like my crazy aunt and uncle all laugh at it, but I’m all for it and Holt is Hidatsa through his mom so I’ll be fine too he says, and he said it will be so even if maybe we don’t stick together for ever and ever. Well we all are friends here and that’s what that all means, for EVER
No plutification today, me and Holt and my dad and bro and some friends from near Minot are screwing around with the horses today, it’s thawing in the yard and spring is sort of sneaking around somewhere. Meanwhile about the research I now have everything set up and am “computing to beat Hell” like Judson says. I got a backup battery-generator setup and a windmill and some gimungous hard drive going that we kind of mooshed together for the way long algorithms that have to go for days, plus mondo gear and gigs for the hands on stuff and so when you all look out the window and see the mountains turn into clouds and stuff like in Nejmi’s Quran, well you’ll know we have stepped over critical mass 
See you guys then, love, me & Holt & everybody here, Ferret!
Horse Woman, of all people, long time – no hear! I am glad to learn about the math research going forward, and I gather that the Augsburg College Intelligent Bad Element are letting you “work at home,” indeed! A good thing too because it would be a Hell of a long way to commute. Anyway, best love & wishes to you & The Critters (the people-ones, too!) & Holt & the Hidatsas…from Gete Jeshee Andeg!
No election news?
Sorry, cgm68, I’ve dropped the ball a bit with work on a local emerging campaign, to ban further police Taser-use in these parts at this time. There have been a couple of Taser-related deaths in the past year hereabouts, and anyway I still think of /my/ hometown and county as Andy Griffith & Barney Fife country, thank you! So, two is too many. The problem is complicated, and, before I go much further, I do want to know for a certainty whether or not at least Taser-use overall correlates with a net /drop/ in police killings of their “persons of interest.” I actually would hope this is so, as I think the gizmo was brought in in the first place to minimize the police-temptation to resort to premature gunplay, and the whaling of the piss out of people who had the nerve to fight back a little too well! It weould be irreponsible to go too far just to get on Tee Vee or anything, I’m not overly Democrat OR Republican in that particular way anymore. Also, needless to say, one does not want the people here — many of whom now of course are outlanders and from elsewhere, and who have themselves no roots in our home country — to think one is the Lone Nutter, so I am working through cats’ paws who will circularize and offer for publication, over their signatures, stuff that I and another person now are dredging up. As to the “big election,” I’ll get back on the stick with some of my deathless wit & irreplaceable insights ASAP, promise.
FUCKEN HORSES!
OK, Sewer Mouth Girl, what’s THIS grief about?
