Could we be more wasteful?
TibetanMonkey, Originator of the Banana Kung-Fu
easily be more frugal (hey, ride a bicycle or walk to the market), but
I can't see how we could more wasteful. Everywhere I turn I see a
competition for the bigger car, the bigger boat, and the heat is on
the small fish that dare to swim around.
In other words, EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE THE BIG FISH! The stats show
America leading the field vs. Japan and Germany by something like 2 or
3 to 1 in energy efficiency. Hey, we are #1!

window to throw it out of. All you have is a lot of time on your hands
and a couple of bikes to sustain yourself. If you had two nickels to
rub together, you would soon be showing off to those you now envy.
All together now, help him sing the loser's anthem.

The Germans and Japanese are dying of envy... Well, I don't think so.
Do you think all it matters in life is size? I think that's a macho-
man disease. ;)

There's something distinctly different, though, between the Banana
Revolution or Wisdom of the Jungle (another name for it) and Epicurus:
In the jungle everything is connected to everything else, and you can
NOT retire to a Garden (think of a gated community) to live the good
happy life.
The jungle makes you fight for your own survival and that of other
similar kind. One application of it is how we should take a stand for
the people that want to ride a bicycle or walk and can't because of
all the terrorism present on our roads. If nobody does it, then the
world is doomed to war and climate change.

I find it interesting that he sees the end of the male predator (the

women with how cool they are, and how much money they have to throw
around. It sure is nice when you cast off that burden and just don't
care what women think of you anymore. But it's funny to see how women
still expect you to display your expensive, wasteful shit, and they
just don't know how to handle it when you don't! Apparently there are
very few men who refuse to play their games. It's really sad to see
how men let themselves be led around by the nose by women, and all
because they think they are losers if they aren't getting regular
pussy.
TibetanMonkey, Originator of the Banana Kung-Fu
When you are yourself and are real, you still get pussy, but perhaps
not with the fancy bodies and the stupid brains. Well, you can still
some stupid ones by being real.
The system though works to their advantage. They would be completely
out of place in Amsterdam or Rome.
In Amsterdam you need a good bike. What you do when in Rome? Ride a
scooter, right?

Well, the subject now is Rome... ;)
Watch this video:

To be learned:
a) lots of scooters
b) no SUVs
c) respect for others (cooperation)
This comment caught my attention...
"This chaos relies on the concept, that nobody has the ultimate right
to drive. Infact, everyone is quite observant of the other cars and
people. When you start walking, somboby will stop. Just be confident
and walk."
And the reason is that all the time in America I see these cars
BLOCKING THE PEDESTRIAN X-INGS and they won't budge! The other day, we
waited for a car to move for a few minutes before we could safely get
to the other side of this minor street. Two old ladies (that shouldn't
be driving in the first place) sitting in the car (no car behind them)
like we didn't exist!
Another one just cut off in front of us last night with little
courtesy, and a few other incidents even worse.
Kind of a good idea to make the streets bike and pedestrian friendly,
isn't it? Has anyone thought about it?

I've been thinking of ways to reduce my waste. I want to make my
weekly garbage disposal as small as I can. This means, try to use non-
recyclable, throw-away things as little as possible.
I've been thinking of growing a beard so I could end my shaving cream
and razor consumption. I'd abstain from deodorant too, if I could find
a natural way - and a way that wouldn't make me look like a hippy - to
keep my armpits from stinking.
TibetanMonkey, thanks for posting this to "frugal living". I'm going
to check that newsgroup out...
Cullen
TibetanMonkey, Originator of the Banana Kung-Fu
Thank you! I can't grow a beard though because it itches. ;)
What I DO is...
a) COMPOST (I bought the bin)
b) EAT LESS MEAT (I really don't care for it)
c) WALK
What I can NOT do...
a) BICYCLE (for obvious reasons, though my bikes are really setup for
practical transportation)
b) RECYCLE (no such program here --hey, this is not Zimbabwe but Miami
Beach)
c) FIND HEALTHY HEALTHY SUPERMARKETS AROUND (I must drive some 6
miles)
I have a motto that could go a long way in America --and the world:
"BIKE LOCALLY, BUY LOCALLY."

Sorry, Cullen. The most meaningful page for you is what drives me to

It was meant to show that drivers could get along better by
COOPERATION rather than COMPETITION.
But hey, we can enforce a few laws (other than $peeding), and, for
example, have the cars stay clear of the pedestrian crossings.

The best way to do that is to hang yourself with some
used rope and let your body be used in that corpse farm.

We got much more dramatic changes in the past due to non man made climate change.

Maybe America is stupid in putting too much pressure on them. But most
everybody that feels powerful gets arrogant.

They control the manufacturing process, so how can America ever go on

Oh c'mon, we would die without China. Which is to say, we would have a
simpler life, and the roles may be reversed with China running the
world. And now they have become hungry too.

ride a bike?

No one goes hungry anymore except when the place has decended

Only the Chinese are willing and able to copycat American way of life.
