Krimel quotes the Daodejing:
> "Thus it was that:
> when the Tao was lost, its attributes appeared;
> when its attributes were lost, morality appeared;
> when morality was lost, laws appeared.
> Law is the shadow of good faith,
> and the commencement of disorder."
SA: This is wonderful. This is exactly why a bigger
gov't is disturbing, more rules and laws are
disturbing. When more and more programs are needed
(and it would seem more programs are needed) it is kin
to more and more pieces of gum being stuck into holes
in the dam that is leaking water. This is why many of
us say people are not given the opportunity to think
for themselves and why I think a removal of creativity
from culture will have a bunch of people that can't
think for themselves hardly anymore, unless it fits
somebody else's plan, for people are not given the
opportunity to do so - cause they have to follow
somebody else's plans more and more. Anyways...
awesome quote.

P.S. I was listening to a program on the news about
beaver's being reintroduced into some areas in the
west to help reestablish a higher water level in
regions that are drying out. The program acted as if
beaver's are a novel idea. You mean they'll provide
more water to areas by damming up water and forming
ponds. The main concern for people were those that
live downstream. They were all wondering if the
beaver's would hold back all the water and they
wouldn't get any water flowing their way anymore.
Beaver dams don't stop water from flowing. Water
flows right over their dams. It just makes the water
build up a little providing a beaver pond and thus
longer lasting water not only in that immediate area,
but water will flow downstream for longer periods of
time due to more water to flow downstream due to the
pond being there. I don't know. Maybe I've been
around beaver ponds too much or something. It was so
common sense to me, and their concerns were so alien.
G-d we need some help and support on this planet.
People can be scary.
