There is a sense of urgency around the world, by those in need of power, and by those in need of order in which they may play a part. Who wins makes all the difference in the world.

harmony of line

after all. It has come to this.

Democrats vs Republicans

It is apparent to me during this time of great need politically, physically, with our foreign affairs, in fact with our entire system, which is now regrettably monitored and controlled by the Government, that the Republican party has no interest in becoming a team with the Democrats to save this great blend of democracy and capitalism. The Republicans are giving every indication they are not going to join in a group effort to fix the ills of the country, in fact it is looking as though they quietly are hoping for failure on the part of democrats and the policies they are implementing in this crash course for economic survival. The Republicans appear to be hoping for failure because, in the sick scheme of things, it is their hope that a failure translates to more votes and seats of power in future elections. The Republican party is continuing on a path whereby they tear down the walls of democracy in its very name.

Art painting life

I just want to say off line watch out for the one is not better approach to art, (or life). of course one can be better, better appreciated, better feeling, better color combinations, forms, lines. What is not better often is the time spent creating, that often is as precious for the flops or the hits. so, with that it mind, that creating time spent in mindful thought of how to better create a creation is the beautiful attribute to being human. Digest all we experience and pick the weeds to better nourish the fruit, KNOW the difference.

Revelation

or Rapture

Looking forward

When Bank of America bought Merrill Lynch, did you stop in your tracks and say, "the biggest, strongest, smartest bank just became another broken, senseless, robbing institution which will only hasten the collapse of our current style of government and living". Well I did and I don't need to tell you, if we still have 1 1/2 more years of topsie turvie downward spiral, and this is taking place today. well, the carpet is about to be swept clean so to speak.
And another thing. now that the banks and other typical institutions have received the first second and third round of "bail-outs" and seem to have spent it all, yes all on bonus money. As we sit and watch this unfold, how can I not believe that this is anything but the largest heist in modern day history.
I believe we will pull out of this, I don't think it will make us stronger, but I am sure it will make us different.

Dividing space

My description of being human in both psychological and physical being with regards to the soul with all we understand in science, math and faith. Visually speaking.

We Three Kings

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Goliaths Head

Goliath, the moment one sees ones own end.
The American Auto Industry
The American Ideal of Democracy
The Greed of Capitalism

Change is good, embrace it and make it worth the future.

Thanksgiving

In case you need a reminder of all we have to be thankful for and how fortunate we are.
Survival.

bailout deal

The bailout deal is the largest con in world history. Money does not evaporate, in our current case it has been stolen. Now comes the con, after stealing 800 billion from the American middle class the wealthy non productive financial planning super spending upper-class consumers want to get their hands on another 800 billion dollars for free. Let the large corporations collapse, let small business companies take root and replace them. these small companies are what made this country great, successful, leading in the world economies and social values. The Ronald Reagan administration was the beginning of Government allowing the snowball purchasing of company after company to the current state we are in. We can not allow the continuation of large corporations holding our economy hostage by there shear size . Stop the bailout and let the large corporations fold, the pain and suffering will be long and hard but the consequences are worse, it will be the end of democracy and American ideals that have been the mainstay for the free world. We need to get back to being productive creating a product, to a GNP not a GDP. The industry of trading money is for gamblers, the industry of products is for people willing to work for what they get, we need to be willing once again, I just hope there are enough of us who still know what that means.
