Noam Chomsky: "The Emerging World Order: its roots, our legacy"

[chervilant]

9. Wow.

I guess only a few of us have the luxury of being able to think. Most people design their lives so they have to perform.

I hope you don't mind if I use that quote in other venues.

I have to say that, after five years of un- or under-employment, I have a new job. I should be able to buy property within six months. I will look for some acreage that has running water year round. I am a biointensive gardener, and have already been collecting heirloom seeds. I've also gone Vegan, and anticipate trending toward raw.

Meanwhile, an acquaintance with lots of money is letting me stay in his garage apartment, rent free. We are so remote, I rarely hear human sounds. I get to watch a herd of 6-8 deer every morning, and countless hummingbirds throughout the day.

I'm regaining my exercise chops--up to a mile a day, and working back to four. The hills here help get my heart rate up.

I am blissed out most of the time. While I continue to get most of my news from DU, I limit my time here, since most of what I read reminds me how disconnected, fearful, and angry are most of our species. I am much less willing to tolerate such negativity.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply.
