ANI'T THIS THE TRUTH

[PappyStu]

I live by that creedo as well....

[PappyStu]

[MotherReiver]

This is such a classic!  It counts for current events too :-D

[PappyStu]

Thus de feature.... my subtle 2 cents

[Ottawarocket]

Rocket

"If you think of yourself as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual."

The Dosadi Lesson

A Gowachin Assessment

Frank Herbert

[PappyStu]

Good quote... One must remember with a grain of salt, All these "wise" men made their observations and created these bits of wisdom but did they change anything including the nature of humanity????

[LizBizToo]

Knowledge making for a change in the nature of humanity? Haa, only if yu add to knowledge a great big heap of insight...I'd say humanity is in crisis and the challenge is to see in ways unfamiliar to most....now that's a whole new vid, Paps...you up for that one?!

:)

[PappyStu]

If I could change the world with a video? hmmmm now there's a fantasy

[LizBizToo]

improving slowly but surely is what you are effecting IMO :)

yea, I'd go for the instantaneous utopia by choice :) well, ok, that leads me to we already live in paradise, we just don't know it...IMO

[phekwig]

All of these quotes made me think of how half of everything I do doesn't benefit me at all. If government is such a foolish nuisance, then it should have been abolished long ago. Don't mind me: The public is not ready for the Utopia that I envision. My views are obviously distorted from reading science fiction since I was a child...

[PappyStu]

Having just done an sent my taxes in with a check over ten grand, I feel they are more than a nuisance, however human nature being what it is I question the possibility of a real utopia....

[fehquig]

It's just nice to dream about it, but I have to agree with you

unless, of course, we simply change human nature by using drugs and surgery and other forms of therapy...

[LizBizToo]

[mymoosejaw]

I like em all but the heath care one.

[PappyStu]

LOL you wanted cheap healthcare?

[mymoosejaw]

Free heath care... Like here in Canada. But it is so hard to compare tax bases to find if it is more or less expensive this way.

[PappyStu]

Oh I would not call what you have "free" by any stretch of the imagination....

[mymoosejaw]

Not really - there is the tax thing.

Mark Twain is my ultimate favorite. I loved these, Pappy...Remember, Ben Franklin said "Who is wise? He that learns from everyone. Who is powerful? He that governs his passions. Who is rich? He who is content. Who is that? Nobody."

[PappyStu]

GOOD ONE!!!!

I am.... Content....

[IXGertXI]

Don't be too content, that breeds stagnancy. :)

[JazzyLemmon]

LOL or Pappy is a nobody which I find difficult because I know him

[PappyStu]

So do I, are you all moved now?

[MotherReiver]

All moved into the condo and have tons more stuff packed in a pod on our property in the north country - I'll probably be filming as we design and build our new home - forward thinking ... can't look back anymore ... I did a bit with my Jessie response from a few shots of the "old house" :)

[PappyStu]

I thought so....

Peculiar timing moving during all this mortgage economy crunch btw...

Glad you are feeling better... bad timing there

[MotherReiver]

Actually, not really; we had lots of equity and were able to meet our objectives for building anew; hopefully we helped *stimulate* the market in a positive way - we were lucky to have qualified buyers find us; I'm feeling better and better every day :)

[PappyStu]

Yea I was very lucky selling in 3 weeks 9 months ago.... How long is the building program supposed to take?

[MotherReiver]

It should take roughly a year - from designing the plans - editing - getting all the permits - hiring workmen, selecting product and so forth; we are building a genuine log home - it will be most beautius when done :)
