The Measure of Success
Yes a cleaner earth is what we all desire - well almost all of us. So all manufacturers need to filter emissions, and all countries need to develop clean and truly renewable energy sources being solar, wind and hydro. However the cost of manufacturing rises if emissions are filtered, and there is too much money to be made from nuclear power which is 'sold' to the public as clean, but produces toxic waste. The climate change issue is a big corporate lie. Al Gore has made billions out of this.— December 22, 2009 4:54 p.m.
The Measure of Success
Yes, well on the subject of the Pen overriding a Sword we should view the Copenhagen climate change summit with great concern. There is the intention to Sign a treaty which will form a World Government. This treaty will take precedence over any member country's constitution. There is no mention of democracy in this document. But that was just an aside. Seriously, if a person cannot make a reasoned, documented and persuasive comment on a subject for fear of causing others pain, then we are resiled to a changeless future. If the truth hurts, far better to know the truth than to live a lie - even if that lie was learnt in innocence or through naivety.— December 22, 2009 4:18 a.m.
The Measure of Success
Without the details of your blog and opinions expressed I am not sure whether I agree or disagree with your removal of the blog. Have you kept the original material? Would like to read it if so! From what I know of you I guess that I would say you should have left it out there! "The Power of the Pen is Mightier than the Sword"— December 21, 2009 10:09 p.m.
Stairway to Heaven
Good stuff fish! Powerful and engaging! I think you should write a book with San Diego as the backdrop, your neighbourhood the setting, covering several generations. There is history and culture that you know very well - it needs telling! Then the movie, the merchandise lol. Which actors would you use?! I'm not joking - you know I like a bit of fun.— December 6, 2009 6:50 p.m.
It's Better To Burn Out Than It Is To Fade
Actually - have looked at more Kinkade, and more and more. No way has he done all that work by himself - he has staff working for him. Must have a 'system'. Very commercial.— November 27, 2009 6:47 a.m.
It's Better To Burn Out Than It Is To Fade
Have just scrolled past 90% of the comments because I wanted to say how interesting I found the article - so much so that I had to google Thomas Kinkade to see what the fuss was about. I loved the comment from Joan Didion - "the picture is rendered in slightly surreal pastel and with such insistent coziness as to seem actually sinister, suggestive of a trap designed to attract Hansel and Gretel. Reminded me of Rocky Horror..."There's a light...over at the Frankenstein's place," (or words to that effect). So I checked out Kinkade - yeah generally pukable especially the disney stuff, but it is clear that he has a unique style. You can look at a painting and say "That's a Kinkade." Apart from Pollock - who everyone in the world is aware of - who are some good US artists at the moment?— November 27, 2009 6:26 a.m.
Remains of the Day
I guess with this man it was already there, just overwhelmed by past losses and drowned sorrows. In that state there is little chance of feeling good. 'Intuitive rebalance' - I like that. In a short space of time he righted a few wrongs about himself and his energy. My belief is that he got closer to 'heaven' - that on his exit his spirit/soul was in a better shape to get to a better place. I think you are right and the opiates helped! Drunks are often pretty deep thinkers - it is their unpredictable anger that is disconcerting. Makes it just about impossible to help them.— November 27, 2009 5:24 a.m.
Remains of the Day
It is interesting how usually modest people when in nursing homes, or like your grandmother, in some sort of altered state, are the ones who will get their gear off and go wandering the corridors. I think it must be a form of soul urge to get balance - correcting the suppression of personal freedom that comes from excessive modesty. Wonderful story Fish, and I admire you for all you do, think and feel.— November 27, 2009 1:28 a.m.
I make shrinks cry...
Hey good luck little immigrant - just keep your head together 'cos it's a good one! Just remember to tell them what they want to hear - which means you will have to lie. There is no other way. Blow icing sugar up their arses - play their game. Make them think they are helping you with their dribble.— November 22, 2009 6:29 a.m.
SDGE Lobbyist Said to be Innocent, Reinstated
