To all who felt offended - my apologies for once again mixing stream of
consciousness with bits of reality - but also to those who were personally
offended - I got some very nice thoughtful replies in spite of it all - As
one not exactly thrilled with the World Trade Center/Pentagon hate message
of 9/11 and some of you saw the painting I did I think it pretty incredible
that I should not be allowed to freely write and expect pondering on it - so
hey trash me I admit it, I have been totally dumb, self absorbed, crazy from
lack of an emotional connection all of my life, but I know when the wind has
changed - trouble is it took me over thirty years to realize it had - it all
started with JFK and it continues to this day in time, the world's Jealousy
over our leisure sickens me - are all of my critics out there going to tell
me that they never indulge themselves with a peice of pottery, a painting ,
a new frock - rewards to oneself for the work done - are the accomplishments
of this culture, my people any different? Are you saying we are
fundamentally wrong for finding time, unlike those who worked to find the
formulas and secrets in the past, to enjoy the fruit of our labors? I hate
the thought of this war as much as I hated the Viet Nam war but it is not a
time for chiming, it is not a time for catchy phrases and war, for or
against it is not a fashion, it is a collision of peoples, of cultures, of
civilizations - it is A GOD DAMNED SERIOUS CROSSROADS THAT INVOLVES EVERYONE
YOUND AND OLD IN THE THE US-EURO WHITE CULTURE AND I DONT AND WONT
APPRECIATE PEOPLE WHO THINK MY TAKING OFFENSE AT THEIR ATTACKS AGAINST US IS
ANTI WHAT? JONI? IT ISNT BANG BANG KETCHUP COLOR TO ME
Sorry, dont mean to yell I am very upset that the have nots when given half
a chance, and in the case of the Arabs, given billions, prefer to build
Armies for hate - we built a compendium of knowlege for 2000 years not a
religious hatred and some idiotic Hatfields vs McCoys attitude to the rest
of the world. we documented their birds, their butterflies, their rocks
etc, in thousands of years it was never important to them , now we are what?
these are facts I know but that does not mean I created them, in revelations
the book is bitter such is truth but I will cherish the truth before slants
of it
