When "you" feel you can't defend your position...... "I" lash out and call other people names...

you see it on the web all the time..

"That guy is whack"

"your an idiot"

"shut the fuck up"

"I hate idiots"

and what does this accomplishe..

by "you" pointing out "him/her"... "I" establish myself as better or different than "you"...

more importantly "you" are claiming you KNOW something.... and what do you know.. and is it worth smashing your fellow humans just so "you" can be right...

i love you

good point.
I wish I could say "I love you" back but your avatar makes me feel uncomfortable and I question my sexuality every time I see it.
But yeah, it pisses me off how people on these forums can be such jackasses.
I know it's just a stereotype but, come on guys, we're potheads, not police.

"If, for a moment, we regard mankind as one individual, we see that the human race is like a person carried away by unconcious powers; and the human race also likes to keep certain problems tucked away in separate drawers. But this is why we should give a great deal of consideration to what we are doing, for mankind is now threatened by self-related and deadly dangers that are growing beyond our control. Our world is, so to speak, dissociated like a neurotic, with the Iron Curatin marking the symbolic line of division. Western man, becoming aware of the aggressive will to power of the East, sees himself forced to take extraordinary measures of defense, at the same time as he prides himself on his virtue and good intentions.
What he fails to see is that it is his own vices, which he has covered up by good international manners, that are thrown back in his face by the communist world, shamelessly and methodically. What the West has tolerated, but secretly and with a slight sense of shame (the diplomatic lie, systematic deception, veiled threat), comes back into the open and in full measure from the East and ties us up in neurotic knots. It is the face of his own evil shadow that grins at Western man from the other side of the Iron Curtain."

Man and his Symbols. I assume by symbols he's speaking of visual representations of the archetypes?

in my philosophy class today we were talking about something like that. When you try to discredit someone's idea else by attacking them


for example refuting an idea from Bill Clinton because "hes an immoral man who had an affair"



its just our little world

Been awhile since I was in that book, but yes, I think that's what he was on about.
I think there's a section in there on the origin of tombstones too. The ancients believed that the spirits of their deceased loved ones went off into objects such as rocks and things. So, not only were early gravestones memorial markers, they were also there for a haven for the spirit.

we should all be farmers and instead of money we should trade knowledge or skills or a trade.

That would be great. Think of all the creativity that would have to be tapped into.
