unemployment, the ideals of PTP and of opensource software, have directed my thought to two things: sustainability and freedom (in that order).
people can have creativity and free thought driven out of them through situations like fear or excessive responsibility. Our government is supposed to be 'of the people' but people who work 9 to 5 have most of their energy tapped by the job. Like a cow that is never allowed to retain enough milk to feed its young, it udder is relentlessly sucked by milking machines, so too are american minds left homogenous and empty by limited options of lifestyle.
everyone born unto the earth is provided a wonderful gift by the earth, food, clothing and shelter for a lifetime at no effort beyond what benefits you personally.
