Friday we recovered from the party and ate left overs. Yesterday we went to pick up a goat we bought and we ate leftovers. I ate about six pieces of pie since Thanksgiving. I just finished a piece of pecan pie. We have portions of pecan, apple, mince, pumpkin and key lime pie left. It will get eaten.
We bought a goat with a distinguished pedigree. We will tuck the Paper away and not look at it again. Our interest is in goats that will milk a gallon a day with some consistency. We gave our old buck away and will start with a fresh sire next year. Line breeding is fine with herd animals but you want to introduce a new sire about every five years.
I took a break to finish a mound of dishes. The serving dishes are gradually being emptied and in need of washing. One more day and there should be only pie plates left.
This would be a good time to contrast the opulence of my life with others; both in this country and the rest of the world. I can't go there. It is too painful. Our government spends 1.9 billion every single day on the military, in the process killing thousands of people and at the same time allowing millions of people to die that would be easily saved with a fraction of that money. Just a small portion of the money we spend on the military could be used to save millions of folks from starvation. How can this be? How did it come to this? I know it doesn't do me or anybody else any good to focus on these negative agendas. Thank God for the Occupy Wall Street Movement. Perhaps it has stirred enough people to awaken and demand and end to this madness. It is becoming crystal clear that the biggest terrorist are folks controlling big banks; who in turn control the Pentagon and other allied militaries. The War on Terrorism is just an excuse to beat the Third World into submission and rob them of their resources. I know that if enough people open their eyes, this madness will stop. There has to be ways we can refuse to cooperate and even frustrate their agenda. Politics doesn't work, right now, as both parties are bought and paid for. Democracy can't happen as long as one can use money to control the outcome. I am not advocating the overthrow of the government. I am recommending the expulsion of the people embedded in the government whom are controlled by these big bankers. Then the banks have to be dismantled and restructured so they can no longer make democracy impossible.
I must be a little down today. I know this painful world I am seeing is almost over. I know we are creating a new world where all this horror will be a distant memory. And yes, I can heed my own advice and look to the light! It is there to see. I see love in the eyes of all I meet. I know everyone wants to work towards the New World that shines just over the horizon. I know we need help in preceding. I learned a long time ago that effective action can only follow correct thoughts. That means any action must issue from a mind steeped in unconditional love. So we need to clear our minds of all negativity and "see" what can be done.
We will succeed.
Love and Peace, Gregg
