That's a nice way to describe life in America. You often wonder
"Where's the people?" as you walk in America. Buses are totally
unreliable. Then there's NYC, often called the Asphalt Jungle, a place
where the "monkey within" (we all have a monkey within) can have fun
and socialize. It depends what feels "natural" to you, but you often
find yourself in a cage given the wrong conditions. And that's bad,
real bad. Actually, it's time for me to get out...

I said it last summer: "If you hate people, you'll love America --
except if you live in NYC."
The sprawl atomizes people (what a fantastic word). People are
naturally SOCIAL until they get behind the wheel of the automobile.
The only friendly vehicle that could traverse a city (another nice
word) without destroying communities is the bicycle. Public
transportation too, but that requires some burning of gas and a lot of
patience in a spread out city. Buses can't really adapt to your route
as well.
Last summer I landed 100 miles from NYC, in a little town called
Woodbourne and I thought of Heaven and Hell. Absolutely beautiful but
absolutely nothing to do. No trails to hike, something the Europeans
enjoy as well. NYC is different. There are trails not far from the
city or at least as close as being practical. Central Park is a nice
getaway in the middle of the Urban Jungle. The rest of America is a
DESERT for the most part. Parks are full of homeless in my area, so
that's something to avoid. You see few people and when you find it's
often the wrong people. An Oasis is hard to find.
Hey, I got my nice desert cap...

I think the American sprawl shows the power of the Real Estate
Industry and the Automobile Industry while the engineers just a lend a
hand in the execution. They have done a poor job at creating liveable
communities. The supreme monument to stupidity (or evil, whatever your
take) is to create a bicycle infrastructure that exposes the innocent
cyclist to greater danger.
And, of course, they can claim they are creating space for bikes.
Another PR campaign.

Why, do I need to be to a reservation to confirm what I know?
It proves my point that you can't remove man's capacity to ROAM FREE
and expect him to be happy. The Indians are unhappy.
A horse is not practical anymore but a bicycle is --except for hills
and bad weather. In NYC the situation is such that walking remains a
viable option, perhaps more so than biking. And their public
transportation is way better than in the rest of the country, where
obesity rates and depression seems to be the norm.
Incidentally they are starting a bike sharing program in that city so
the jury is out. Anyway the solution is MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION,
instead of car monopoly. THE REVOLUTION IS ABOUT SOLUTIONS.
Thus I have spoken.

Why, the placebo effect? Bad news is better than good news that are
not realistic. Climate Change is a good example of that. The good news
is that we can walk or ride a bike to minimize its effect. Christians
expect Jesus to come and rescue the world from Satan. Who's Satan
anyway, Big Oil?
Avoiding reality may feel good for a while.

True. The only hope is in the Tablet, meaning the books and culture we
can get through that wonder of technology. The Nook was on sale this

The following is basically a monologue, no need for debate...
The TABLET may be the most important first step toward saving big
money and cleaning up the jungle. As the Nook allows us to borrow
books from the library without being exposed to the odors the homeless
and old books give out, I can see the library as a HOTPOT & E-BOOK
facility. The bathrooms, now a place for the homeless to wash
themselves, may finally close as the libraries themselves. Hey, many
of our parks have already closed their restrooms partially or totally
to avoid the homeless, so you must go behind the bushes yourself.
Maybe the two, libraries and parks, should close for good.
And this in turn can save big money to Obama's precarious budget.
Guess what, I'm enrolling in e-book borrowing, and this in turn may
avoid diseases often found in old books...

Actually there's no single individual god. There are MANY but they

OVERPOPULATION & DEFORESTATION...

That's a metaphor not found in the Bible, for it commands the people
to "prosper and multiply," a recipe for disaster and war. It seems the

Actually there's no single individual god. There are MANY but they
ain't bothering with the monkeys destroying their environment due to
OVERPOPULATION & DEFORESTATION...

Slave to the pursuit of happiness? Well, in a way, yes. But this is
sort of a mental challenge as well. I'm happy to be black sheep. Maybe
we can make life better for those slaves who labor in the big pyramids
of our time. I mean slaves who are not doing something practical such
as bike facilities or fast trains. Slaves in China are putting
together phones and tablets and that's highly appreciated, so we can
have them cheap.

Well, the make believe world is the one portrayed by the Media and
Hollywood.
The real world is the one you face on bike or foot.
I guess that's too deep. Well, I'm sure you know what I mean. People
also try to imagine a make believe Heaven, just to feel good. Of
course, the job of the philosopher is to expose the real world.
He must rely on his binoculars sometimes to see what's going on...

According to the latest polls in this area, there are more trees
standing now that in the aftermath of the last hurricane --even though
it only was a category 3. Amazing, simply amazing.
It ain't a pretty picture for the rest of the world though:
Deforestation Facts and Figures - A Global Perspective
The statistical data on deforestation reveal that seven countries of
the world amount to around 60 percent of the total deforestation on
the planet. These seven countries include Brazil in Latin America,
Canada and the United States in North America, Indonesia and China in
Asia, Russia in Europe and the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa.
The data compiled by the World Resources Institute reveals that the
planet has already lost 80 percent of its forest cover to
deforestation, and going by the alarming rate at which the trees are
being cut, it won't take much time for that figure to reach the 100
percent mark.

Philosophers and prophets don't work. They participate in the guidance
of the world in a full time manner. Pay is nil but the reward is
great.
Think of Socrates. He had his dosis of cicuta and woke up in the other
world. The Muses received him and he was entertained forever. Nothing
can be more rewarding.

Is it a bipartisan commission or another Republican trick to slow down
the Democrats? At times it sounds like God and Satan with their
armies. We know one side is evil, but we are not sure who's who.
Well, we need consensus to resolve anything, which means we won't
resolve anything. The issues are passed down to future generations.

Do you think we should celebrate the Revolution with that? Is it
becoming too worn out? We had our hopes high when the Berlin Wall
fell, and see what happens. I think it's gotten worse, right? It's
like communism was a balance to the worse excesses of capitalism. Now
we have walls (gated communities) everywhere.
Well, we better change the rhythm with the Banana Revolution...

You must have been close to an infected person. Now you believe you
need a loan and lawyer to live. No, it ain't necessary. Remember the
philosopher needs only flip flops even as the streets are dangerous to
bikes. Beware of the Jewish lawyer.

It's been a sleight of hand. That's something every magician can do.
Communism is not really dead. Now it lives in capitalism. The two
systems will become one eventually and the democratic game will be
exposed. The system with the most control and the cheapest labor wins.
Perhaps Venezuela is the way to go. Of course, only the Banana
Revolution can deliver.
