Dangerous times

Don't get me wrong, even my thinking of late has been of the dangerous sort.

In more than one way, the Chinese have really managed to inflict one hell of a curse upon us AND manage to get us in deep debt to boot. (Not that I can blame them, the jackknobs on the hill are the spending freaks, and the electors that always run 'em back in office)

No, just cruzin through todays posts while thinking about some long lost friends and getting the general vibe of despair and downright "gonna fuck sumpin up".

I liken current events to a man made lake (since we made the damned mess as a species) You have water, sand, pebbles, and rocks. The water represents time and currents, sand; the masses. Pebbles; the Government lackys, and Rocks: the driven that pass all of this crap to those below them. Everything but the water is on the shore. That's where the life is. You take a handful of sand and toss it in the water (removing it from time/IE killing it.) and you barely get a ripple across the surface. Do the same with the pebble, and there are ripples slowly spreading outward. There is a rhythm to it when observed from above but at the surface, the ripples seem random and chaotic. Now toss in a rock. BIG splash, right? BIG ripples. LOTS of chaos.

Think about that for a minute.

The one that shot a cop in Texas this week has set up a small ripple in many communities. The III'pers. The Preppers, the LEO's and more than likely, the local Government to some extent. (they may not introduce a bill but you know damned well someone is coming up with something 'just in case'.) These ripples will spread out, lose energy, lose chaotic appearance until they are just another part of the general current on the surface of life. UNLESS, someone starts dropping more pebbles in along with the first. Then the ripples will continue, popping up elsewhere, cancelling out others here, being reinforced there. Just like standing waves in a concert hall. You get dead spots, then 5' away, you couldn't hear the Rapture trumpets blowing over the cacophony of noise from the PA.

Lets make some presumptions here, just for a minute. (and in no way am I advocating this, nor encouraging it: just throwing some thoughts out there. What a body does is that bodies business. NOT MINE. Disclaimer out) Say there is the current ripple, which has not run its course all the way yet. Say in the next two weeks, there are 3 or 4 more pebbles thrown in, adding to the ripple effect. Somewhere there will be a standing wave on the shore. This wave will disturb more sand than the original ripple. It may even be strong enough to disturb some Pebbles. It may even move enough pebbles that a rock shifts a bit. (remember the analogy lineup.) It won't be enough to displace a BIG rock, only a smaller one.

So 5 weeks down the road, there are a few more pebbles tossed in. Maybe even a handful of sand along the way. Each action will further disrupt the surface. Until suddenly, someone gets to feeling their Cheerios, and tosses in a rock. Suddenly, there are more than ripples on the surface, there are WAVES.

Do you follow what I am talking about?

Dangerous times indeed.


And I feel F.I.N.E.

Just remember.
