"Teach them how to fish, don't make the fish multiply," as Jesus would
have done.
That's neither bureaucratic socialism nor Christian charity
--"charity" is another industry in itself.
What I'm proposing is pure Wisdom of the Jungle: "DO NOT FEED THE
WILDLIFE!" You tell the bums, "Before I feed you, you must do
something for the community." This is the central idea.
Socialism and Christianity sound to me like buying votes and souls.
I don't buy either European liberalism and leniency toward the worst
predators. Yes, death penalty and other weapons are in the arsenal,
but the emphasis is on PREVENTION. We have to give something to the
poor called: "POOR BUT PROSPEROUS." We can make the streets of South
Africa as peaceful as those in Canada. A Canadian from Montreal told
me, "You know why Canada is safe? Because we are a Police State." But
he said it with pride, meaning police is everywhere to make sure
things are working. No Gated Communities there. No locks on the door
sometimes. Republics with laws that are not enforced, or whose
enforcement are purely predatory, are Banana Republics.
Hey, I'm not Buddha either and I GET REAL MAD about people destroying
the environment willfully or recklessly. When I see the cigarette
boats roaring by or Supersized Unnecessary Vehicles being used in an
urban environment, I get mad too. I could easily have been in Africa
protecting the gorillas but I rather fight our own alpha leaders.

I don't want to sound like I'm preaching, and I'm now going under the
mango tree. Trees are like a church except that you hear no bullshit.
You listen to the birds singing messages of Hope like Marley's song:

Just that the world needs more beach cruisers and fewer SUVs. Imagine
we could get all those Fat Asses on bikes!
It's not the kind of preaching you hear in church.
"Hey you fat asses, where are your bikes? Now go home and don't come
back until you come in a humble bike. Don't be an ass! Stop whining
over Jesus and do something, for Christ's sake!"
