First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out --
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me -- and there was no one left to speak for me.

The seed, the source of life, the embodiment of our biological and cultural diversity, the link between the past and the future of evolution, the common property of past, present and future generations of farming communities who have been seed breeders, is today being stolen from the farmers and being sold back to us as 'propriety seed' owned by corporations like the US-headquartered Monsanto."

This is a piece taken from Blood Orchid, by Charles Bowden. I haven't actually read the book, i just caught this section somewhere. Too long for an update. Hope you enjoy.

Imagine the problem is not physical. Imagine the problem has never been physical, that it is not biodiversity, it is not the ozone layer, it is not the greenhouse effect, the whales, the old-growth forest, the loss of jobs, the tongue in the mouth, the diseases stalking everywhere as love goes on…

Pretty cool. 

Well, the figurative 2'x4' finally hit me on the head, and I had a long overdue epiphany: This school is demanding and Sifu Bronson demands a lot from us.

When I first attended the school I thought that 2x a week in the classroom under the ASP system ( "A" for accelerated was the operative word) would be sufficient to acquire the fundamental skills to achieve black belt in 5-7 years........not so, I  now know.

Unlike academic schools that test on a subject then move on to the…

What I experienced today.  What I saw with my own eyes today in  my own little town has made me realize I am not ready.   I am angry and sad.  More on the verge of anger mixed with anxiety.   

I have not trained enough

I have not done enough target practice

I have not worked on my cardio enough

I have not kicked and puched enough

I have not done enough knife drills

 I have not done enough stick drills

 I have not done enough staff…

Am I ready and are you ready....

To be continued.  Just needed to start my idea and then work on it later. 

It has to do with cardio and emotions.  If you don't work on how to deal with your emotions during a tragedy then your cardio means nothing. 

First story:

A couple of weeks ago I was horseback riding.  I stopped my horse at the top of the hill to get off.  As I was bringing my leg over to get off, my left foot got caught in the stir-up ( I wore the…

Nettle is a great plant to eat.  Better than the produce you by at the store.

Great Article.  Most of these things we do in our family.  I have a recipe that I have been wanting to do for a long time.  It has some of the foods listed from this article in the recipe.  The recipe is called energy balls.  Can't wait to make them.  I will post the recipe soon.

The Cesium deception is beginning.  

Remember that the radiation poisoning that we are getting over here in the US is in small so called allowable amounts, it is not something you are going to feel right away.  Thyroid cancer can take a lot of years to come around.  It could take ten to 20 years plus.  It is the children who will show this sooner than the adults. …

Hazmat crews cleaning up the fluoride that you drink in your water.  Really!  Why aren't people fighting to get this toxic biological warfare ingredient out of their water!  If you want to cure cancer we must all look at what we use in our lives.

EPA to raise limits for radiation.  Now, that we are getting our fare share of toxic radiation on a hourly basis here in the US.  The EPA has decided to raise the levels, because apparently to them more radiation is healthy.
