Women Out of Control, and Government Action

I am not sure everybody should own a woman,  just as I am not sure everyone should own a skidloader.  Both are difficult to control.  


No one knows that better than religious people and right-wing politicians.  Even the people--especially the people--who want to keep government out of our hair, are compelled to turn to government to control their women.  


Skidloaders--you know, those Bobcat things you see on job sites, spinning around, lifting muck up and dumping down somewhere else--are difficult to control, but you really don't have to pass laws to control them, as you do with women.  Maybe just a few laws, like keeping them off the freeway:  that's all.  


Planned Parenthood, for instance, has to be stopped in its tracks, or women run wild and plan parenthood.   That's a man's job!  The House of Representatives knows that, and wants to defund Planned Parenthood.  In South Dakota, somebody proposed a law to allow a decent, god-fearing, un-planned parenthood partisan to kill anybody providing abortions.  That just might be the only way to protect life:  you have to kill somebody!


In Georgia, our Georgia down there next to Alabama and South Carolina, some god-fearing lawmaker has proposed to make miscarriages illegal, especially those involving "human involvement".  It is quite likely that miscarriages involving non-human involvement might require other legislation.  


Other property-owning men are proposing laws that would make abortions a major crime, even if not having one results in the mother's death.   We have to protect life!  Women and doctors don't seem to understand that.  


Owning a woman is like having an un-manned skidloader running away in the neighborhood!  If people can't control their own skidloaders, then government will have to step in and make it plain that women are not to be left untended.  Even people who hate government intruding into their private lives can understand that there are times when you have to put your principles aside and do the right thing!  


If government is what it takes to control runaway women, so be it!  Amen, and amen!

Friends-- My step-father of 35 years died this morning. His name was Conrad Royksund. He was 86 years old. He was born into poverty on a farm near Puyallup, WA. He was the first member of his family to attend college and earned a PhD from the University of Chicago. He paid his way through all of that by fishing in Alaska. He spent his professional career as a college professor. I met him when I was just 3 years old and don't actually have any memories of my life befor e he was in it. He was intimidatingly smart, funny as hell, and worked his ass off. He taught me to meet people with kindness and decency until I was certain they could not be trusted. He taught me to meet ideas with carving knives until I was certain they could. I will remember him as one of the bravest, most curious, and funniest people I have ever met. He left this world with a satisfied mind. We are so grateful. Dan Hubbard

The Sea is Rising

Let us just step back:  two hundred and fifty years ago, or so, the ships of England and Spain had drifted onto a whole new continent, as they saw it, from far north to a savagely cold south; pole to pole, as if there were such things. Millions of people already lived here, some of them still hunters and gatherers; some of them very wealthy, indeed!  Gold and silver stolen from the southern Americas funded Spanish and English dreams. There was land, lots of land, under starry skies above, rich land, and oil and coal and iron ore.  The whole western world learned how to build industries not on simple muscle power, but on steam and oil.  We farmed, too, of course.  All we needed was cheap labor--slave labor from Africa, mostly, so the ships came with slave labor.  Chinese labor built railroad beds where there had been rock cliffs. Europeans, long used to killing each other for good, religious reasons, brought their religious savagery with them. ...

That's all we want: fairness! Not more guns and more war! Fairness!

The five police officers who were killed in Dallas are certainly not the officers who killed innocent citizens. There is more than enough tragedy to go around. "What is happening to our country?", Mari asked this morning. I had no answer.  We do have an answer.  We do not want to say it. There are lots of answers, all of them pertinent. We are a racist society, like most human societies. We are a society in the midst of enormous changes-- social, political, economic--and we do not know what to do about it. We are divided unsustainably into absurdly rich, and an enormous number of crumbling middle class families, and poor. We have guns everywhere; military guns, guns just for killing people, cheap guns, heroes carrying guns into churches and supermarkets, idiots who think guns ought to be allowed in bars and schools and ball games and beauty parlors and political rallies. Our political process is almost useless. There are good people in Congress, but there...
