    A prehistoric stone that rocks and rolls. Sex and drugs are also timeless. Know any really old stoners who rock and roll?

    Know for thyself, that whenever harmony is lost, balance will be restored, and there is no other direction possible, in this pathetic sad lowbrow clown town, but Up, Up, Up!!! Know this, and know that gravity may suck, but blow jobs can be nice.

    Words to me are just metaphors and variables with no intrinsic meaning or value. A shadow is a metaphor, that defies the principle of identity, because it has no identity outside of the context of the light. Variables like doodledly bobbobbobobo are just nonsense, and I can treat every word like complete nonsense after 35 years of study and the last ten years of writing. I can write for months on end, without a clue as to what it really means, because I can treat it all like so much math, and allow my words to speak to me, rather than, vice versa. I have to keep telling myself that no matter how good anything I write is, I often find an even better way of expressing it and it just doesn't pay to be attached to any words. For me, the context of my words determines their contents as much as vice versa, and all I worry about is how humbly and elegantly they can be expressed.

    The nonlinear temporal dynamics and other things, are too complicated to go into here, but they involve the context of my words expressing the passage of time as both what's missing from this picture and a sort of quasi-character, or mother nature, who is like a child playing with dolls and completely oblivious to human concerns. For me, the conscious mind represents logic and causality, but the subconscious is the collective unconscious living the dream. Reality without dreams is just someone's nightmare, while dreams without reality are just a fantasy. In technobabble, every context requires a significant amount of content, and all content must have a greater context, or the two will transform into one another. Goldilocks basically, or normalization, applies to everything and I can also treat information and energy and interchangeable.

    You can think of it as a complicated way of assembling a jig-saw puzzle, and I'm hoping to find four root metaphors that simplify everything enormously, empowering even a child to use a similar approach to language and the tale of the Emperor's New Cloths and the Tower of Babel. The whole system is based on potty mouth nursery rhymes that say everything and nothing, but provide children with warnings about their own family and society. They are the collective unconscious, or Great Void, echoing in their voices. You could say I believe nature comes with her own built in tutorials and manuals and our children's rhymes are one of these.

    Which is why I’m trying to explore your views to see what you think.

    Many people are very political even when they don’t think they are a person doesn’t have to keep up with politics to be political and have a political viewpoint.

    Now political viewpoint is often link to economic outlook, for example what are your views on capitalism, do you think it should be managed or 'free'?

    As a history buff, I’d agree with you, that is why you need to read widely and be informed about things.

    From this I get the feeling you are not talking about the original US constitution (1788) but about the first ten amendments to it, the ones commonly known as the Bill of rights (1791)

    In simple terms the actual Constitution itself is more of a manual on the US system of government, the Bill of Rights as its name implies has the bits about the “rights of all men & women” although at that time it was only white men and often only property owning white men that could vote (women for example had to wait for the 19th amendment in 1920, and many black people had to wait for the 24th amendment in 1964 to get actual voting rights)

    He doesn't.
    His political beliefs are he's angry about things he doesn't understand and thinks he's smarter than everyone else for no reason. If he says something that sounds intelligent, it came from somewhere else.

    My political beliefs are the same as my life beliefs Balbus.

    1: All men & women are created equal. Equal in our humanity not our personal capabilities.
    2: A man or woman should work for his or her livin'. Earn that life you want by the sweat of your brow & the blood in your veins
    3: Always carry yourself with honor, dignity, & pride
    4: All things in moderation
    5: Judge a man by his actions not the words upon his lips.
    6: I have the right to defend myself should it be necessary( yes I am pro gun.)
    7: I have the right to speak my mind but I also must be ready to deal with the consequences
    8: I have the right to refuse conventional medical treatment & to pursue any avenue of treatment I deem worthwhile
    9: I have the right to eat the food I want & to patronize those I deem tp be worthy producers
    10: I have the rights to life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness

    Unless you plan to say "I have the right to call Trump a loser and whoremonger", you'll never make the left happy. Not that I suspect it matters to you what they think. It also seems as though you are now required to be the target of a mass effort by those who will likely see you as "icky" or what have you. I've been there for years.

    I could go along with those. Pretty non-controversial, although the one about refusing conventional medical treatment, eating the food you want, and patronizing those you deem to be worthy producers seem strange. Would anybody even think of questioning those?

    Sure, I don't go to restaurants that have low inspection scores, life's too short. I also avoid doing business with anyone who has a staff of assholes. Worthy is in the eye of the beholder.

    I really worry about society collapsing and ending up in a world where I can't listen to music
