Holla fellow hubbers,

Sorry, I have been really tied up lately. I know I am way behind on catching up on reading your hubs. I will get to them soon. I promise. Things have just been nuts lately. Miss you!

Thought of the week:

Is the state of the world alarming to you? It is to me. What can we do about it? I despise apathy. Complaint without proffered solution is like a toliet without paper or water, good for very little.

Do you think we can count on our leaders to solve the problems? I don't see how. They helped make them as did we by allowing them the power they have. We can't fix the mountain of problems facing humanity alone. Together, maybe we can. Find others who feel the same. Come together. Do what you can each and every day to improve your little corner of the planet. Help someone every day. Only by helping each other can we hope to see tomorrow.

Read, learn, grow, act!

A few weeks ago:

I saw the most uncool thing on the way home from work. I looked up into a bright blue sky and saw it crisscrossed with white lines. Some people call these chem trails. What struck me other than the scaryness of such things was the almost perfect coordinate plane they made over a not small chunck of south TX. Why would that be?

I recently read this about chem trails. It got me thinking then and really came to mind today.

Our fellow hubber ArtzGirl's hub "Chemtrails: The SHOCKING TRUTH."

A week or so ago:

DANGER, WILL ROBINSON! DANGER!

OK, talk about scary. This is it! Somehow, the loving governments of our world have decided to come up with a law that bundles food production, medicine, and internet freedom into one hell of an evil piece of legislation that will kill off millions of us if allowed to stand. Can you say ACTA?

Do you live in America? According to this our guys already voted for it! If you are anywhere near strapped for cash, you better pay attention to this mess. Do you have children? Think about if you could afford medicine for them if generics are outlawed. THINK!
Guys and gals, please, read this…
The Internet is Under Attack and You Need to Wake Up.
It’s by our fellow hubber Bendo13 and quiet frankly it shows in glaring clarity the impending chaining of us all.
DO NOT LET THIS STAND!

Who will it affect? EVERYONE.

Who will it kill? Anyone who is not rich starting with children and the elderly. If it doesn't put the rest of us in some form of jail, it will at least shut us up until such time as we run out of money or get sick, then we get to die off too.

READ IT. STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!

*******************************************************************************************************************

Hanging out in the old noodle for a while:

So many of us keep hearing after the election this and after the election that. It's like the entire nation waits holding it's breath for a chance to fix the impending demise we all smell coming, regardless of how willing we may or may not be to admit it.

Have you heard of the predicted hyperinflation? Do you think it knows of the date we have all set to be the starting buzzer for the cure? Do you think it cares? If it hits before the election, and predictions tend to agree to look for March as the earliest date, do you think you can hang on that long? Let's see, hm, March is next month folks. Tick tock peeps.

Make plans for the future. Take action now.

Wake up America, while you still can. Please!

Lately, I have been giving some thought to the 2012 end times theorist’s portents and, while I can't say I am totally convinced they are correct, it occurs to me that in many ways it is a bit like Pascal's wager in this regard. If it is to be the last year, then one has nothing to lose by living it to the fullest. If they are wrong, again, what have you got to lose by living it to the fullest? So, live it up peeps, like it's your last. For you never know. It very well may be. How long do any of us have? We will never know until such time as time is up. Live today as if tomorrow will never come.

If you are unfamiliar with Pascal's wager, it posits the belief that if God exists and you believe, then you have lost nothing, if God does not exist and you believe, then you have lost nothing... It goes the other way, too, of course. If God exist and you believe, you have gained. If God exist and you do not believe, you have lost everything. The term wager always struck me as somewhat inappropriate. Believe, for his divine existence is truth.

Fantasy is the magic carpet on which the mind soars. It is the fabric of whimsy, the air of enticement, the very soul of imagination. I hope that you too will take the time to travel into the world of whimsy. Can't you tell by the name? I love poetry and poetry of the epic fantasy variety is my all time favorite though I dearly love gothic horror too.

Current favorite quote (or close to it)...

"It is not our abilities that define us. It is our choices."

Albus Dumbledore

"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything." Sorry guys and gals, I don't know who said it first. I heard it on "Sucker Punch". That was very strange movie.

When I first joined Hubpages, poetry was the only thing I was really concerned about writing. I still love it dearly but have expanded to writing about social and political things. I have to admit this was done primarily out of fear. I fear for the future of America, for our children, for us all.

Some of my favorite poets and storytellers include, but are by no means limited to, the following...

Having recently become interested in social and political issues I feel the need to include some of my current favorite authors on this subject too. Again, this list is by no means inclusive.
