And then in a Flash I was driving through Detroit....

 Oh what Jesus would do to these rich white mcmansion blue-eyed West Michigan Folk. The money changers in the temple in his day were just a warm-up.

The church is an instrument of rich people to replace Jesus teaching with justification of their selfishness. Almost no exceptions. Since day one. Malice, intentionality, forethought, is not a requirement in any of this.

We crucified Jesus then, and every day since, over one little word, the word, all. Do unto others all you would have them do unto you. Leave off the word all and we love him. Include the word all and we f****** kill him.

Among the very nicest, any level of immorality is Justified to protect our over privileged. Among the very nicest of us, not one of the million is the exception to this. They call me a saint when I give to the poor, I call me a communist when I asked why there are poor. South America St..

Extreme morality, decency, ethics, Humanity, is it's the only necessary and essential element for a joyful world with little suffering. We don't like that answer. F*** the children and their future.

Extreme morality, decency, ethics, Humanity, is the only necessary and essential element for a profoundly joyful world with little suffering. We don't like that answer. F*** the children and their future. F*** creation. It's over, on our watch.

We will post about heroics in the past and ideas for today until our fingers bleed. Nothing is too much for our children and grandchildren, well, except actually spending our life limb and treasure.

When I allow the pain of my own concerns to become the focus of my attention then my life is more painful than joyful. When I overcome that and redirect my focus to the pain of others then my joy outweighs My Pain by far. They are always both there but the proportions, the joy hugely outweighs any concern I have for my pain. That's the magic of loving.  ''I have learned the paradox that when I love until it hurts, there is no more hurt, there is only more love.'' Teresa of Calcutta

***** It's a curious thing with activists in the last 40 years. Somehow they gleefully embrace the notion that, whatever I feel like doing is better than nothing. I like the idea so it will work. The opposite of SNCC. The opposite of Martin Luther King jr. and those that worked with him. The opposite of Saul Alinsky. The opposite of Gandhi. Very much the stuff of the neocons. Very much the stuff of the conservatives. Very much the stuff of Wall Street, the hedge fund managers. Very much the stuff of the religious fundamentalists. Very much the stuff of Mission Control that sent up the space shuttle Challenger. Very much the stuff of the Pentagon. Hey, it seems right to us, let's do it, it's better than nothing. No discipline, no academic or theoretical rigor, no historical grounding, no humility, no self-restraint, no solemnity, no Soul, no dignity, no paying-the-price.... Hey, I'm an old guy. It really doesn't matter a lot to me personally. I just hate to see you younger ones pissing away what little chance you had.
