Free Your Food and the Rest Will Follow



From "victory" gardens to Liberty gardens.
Growing your own is one of the most radical, revolutionary things you can do.

Ain't Ya Mad About It Yet?





Feels like the country is under a curse
The Situation’s bad and daily getting’ worse
They took your hopes and your dreams and put ‘em all in reverse
They’re gonna getcha ‘less you get them first.

Ain’t ya mad about it yet?
Ain’t ya mad about it yet?
How bad does it have to get?
Ain’t ya mad about it yet?

Don Juan in Washington, D.C.

Why should I be civil to them or to you?

In this Palace of Lies a truth or two will not hurt you.

Your friends are all the dullest dogs I know.

They are not beautiful: they are only decorated. They are not clean: they are only shaved and starched. They are not dignified: they are only fashionably dressed. They are not educated: they are only college passmen. They are not religious: they are only pewrenters. They are not moral: they are only conventional. They are not virtuous: they are only cowardly. They are not even vicious: they are only "frail." They are not artistic: they are only lascivious. They are not prosperous: they are only rich. They are not loyal, they are only servile; not dutiful, only sheepish; not public spirited, only patriotic; not courageous, only quarrelsome; not determined, only obstinate; not masterful, only domineering; not self-controlled, only obtuse; not self-respecting, only vain; not kind, only sentimental; not social, only gregarious; not considerate, only polite; not intelligent, only opinionated; not progressive, only factious; not imaginative, only superstitious; not just, only vindictive; not generous, only propitiatory; not disciplined, only cowed; and not truthful at all: liars every one of them, to the very backbone of their souls.


-- Don Juan in Hell (Man and Superman) by George Bernard Shaw

No Bit, No Spurs...




Just that little cordeo.
Don't let anyone tell you it CAN'T be done without a bit, or other coercive methods.
What you can accomplish with mutual respect, trust and affection is limitless.

Who's Helping Who?



Wild Horse Redemption:
Prison inmates learning to gentle mustangs for adoption.
Everybody wins.

An excellent documentary film.
