"One fist of iron, the other of steel. If the right one don't get you then the left one will." Who said that? Huh? Anybody?

I'm declaring it the OFFICIAL "White Privilege" theme song... You mean...you mean...you don't feel guilty?!! NO... My advice to others that feel 'white' people are to blame for their social woes is as follows: 1. Put down the blunt 2. Turn off the shitty music 3. Pull your f'cking pants up 4. Stop having babies when you can't afford them 5. Get your shiftless lazy ass the hell off the porch 6. Go find a job and show up every day as if your livelihood depends on it... ***There's more but let's start with this, shall we

"The rise of civilization was made possible through compulsory mass production. When certain societies began to prioritize agricultural productivity as their highest value, they began to forcibly subject all life within reach of their cities to that purpose. Communities of people who wished to forage or garden on the land for subsistence would be mercilessly slaughtered or enslaved, and the ecosystems they inhabited would be converted to farmland to feed the cities. Those engaged in the full-time facilitation of crop and animal production would reside in the nearby countryside, while public officials, merchants, engineers, military personnel, servants, and prisoners would inhabit the cities. The task of creating a surplus to feed a growing specialist class caused the duties of the food producers to intensify, while simultaneously creating the need for more land, both for agriculture and for the extraction of materials for construction and fuel. Humans were forced into servitude for the benefit of their culture’s institutions of production as a prerequisite for continued survival, and non-human life was either harnessed or eliminated for the sake of completing human projects. To occupy land, one would be mandated to continuously pay tribute in the form of a tax or tithe (or and more recently, in the form of rent or mortgage), hence requiring one to devote most of one’s time and energy to a politically accepted mode of employment. Upon being required to satisfy the demands of landholders or employers in exchange for personal space and commodities, it becomes impossible for people to make their living through subsistence hunting or gardening. Although small-scale self-sufficient communities would resist or flee the intrusion of military and commercial forces, those that failed would be assimilated. Subsequently, they would quickly forget their cultural practices, causing them to become dependent upon their oppressors for survival." -- Chris Wilson

Yep, President Lyndon B. Johnson also once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

"Obnoxico" was Fuller's invented name for enterprises which make money out of thin air with little or no benefit to humankind. Fuller estimates the value of the "petroleum used daily" at "trillions of dollars" based on research by oil geologist Francois de Chardenedes which quantifies the cost to nature of producing petroleum (eg in terms of energy employed as heat and pressure).
"Neither the great political and financial power structures of the world, nor the specialization-blinded professionals, nor the population in general realize that sum-totally the omni-engineering-integratable, invisible revolution in the metallurgical, chemical, and electronic arts now makes it possible to do so much more with ever fewer pounds and volumes of material, ergs of energy, and seconds of time per given technological function that it is now highly feasible to take care of everybody on Earth at a "higher standard of living than any have ever known." --buckminster fuller
"We find all the no-life-support-wealth-producing people going to their 1980s jobs in their cars and buses, spending trillions of dollars' worth of petroleum daily to get to their no-wealth-producing jobs. It doesn't take a computer to tell you that it will save both Universe and humanity trillions of dollars a day to pay them handsomely to stay at home." --fuller
"After all, the most bewildering thing about man is his idea of work and the amount of work he imposes upon himself, or civiliza- tion has imposed upon him. All nature loafs, while man alone works for a living"-- lin yutang

Euphemism. Bucky Fuller thought the future should be utopian. Not possible, but if you're a slave, you can be persuaded that you live in it.

To distract from recent trick posts and in a moment of show and tell, I saw and was up front and close to LBJ when he came to Sacramento and drove past my elementary school, stopped and got out to wave to all the kids on the playground. Sister Thomas, a nun second grade teacher got his autograph. Believe I was either in the fourth or fifth grade.
The end.
