[FairfieldLife] Dear Diary

It's been an interesting few days here at Fairfield Life Junior High
School. First some guy tried to stand up to the leader of my clique, as
if he not only didn't care what She thought of him (imagine!), he also
didn't care whether She'd give him strokes for agreeing with her (the
idiot!). Of course She had to try to shout him down, but She got so
caught up in it (understandable, of course!) that She wound up talking
in class too much trying to put him down, and got suspended for a week.

I thought I was gonna die. I mean, what can you do when the person you
depend on to fight your battles for you and put down the people She
tells you to dislike isn't around any more? It was awful, like some kind
of test (and you know how I hate tests!). It was like we were left on
our own to try to figure out who to hate without Her here to tell us and
to give us strokes when we ranked on them.

But it was only a one-week suspension, so I did the same thing that the
other girls in the clique (and the four guys, who are so catty that
they're almost honorary members of the clique!), and played pile on to
Her standard enemies. And that worked, to some extent. Every time I did
that, one or more of the other members of the clique would pat me on the
back and tell me nice things about myself. It was almost like still
having Her around, and I was groovin' on all the attention I was
getting.

Some of us even managed to do what She no longer can, and got one or
more of the enemies to respond to our bullying, one on one, and give us
*their* attention. It felt GOOD to get their attention, and to feed on
it, just as She always said it would.

And of course it paid off, because when She came back from her week of
detention, She's been giving us attention and praising us and patting us
on the back for Doing The Right Thing, just as we knew She would. It's
been a pity that She can't get any of Her enemies to respond to Her any
more, because we like it best when our champion gets them with her
witty putdowns in the hallways of the school, in front of the lurker
students who aren't cool enough to be members of our clique but like to
watch the fighting anyway.

But one of the almost-members-of-the-clique guys figured out how to get
at least one of Her enemies to respond to him, by insulting one of Her
enemies who moved to another school. It was kind of a pussy move for a
guy, ragging on someone who hasn't been around for months and who isn't
around to defend herself, but it worked. He got praised by She Who
Counts for doing it, and it gave Her the opportunity to put down that
person again, so almost-clique-member guy got all sorts of strokes for
it.

It worked so well, in fact, that I'm thinking of doing the same thing
myself. I'll think of something nasty to say about one of the other kids
who She has driven away, and say it. Maybe Ruth. Or that Curtis guy.
I'll think of something nasty to say about them, and then She will think
of something nice to say about me, and I'll be all important in the
clique again. And that's all that matters.

happened except for the initiative of some people and the donation of separate 
money by people independent of Maharishi.  It was interesting to see back when 
it was discovered that the pundits actually could be brought here to Fairfield

the US Indian Consulate page.  Actually this was pointed out and explored on 
the pages of FFL whence some high-ups on their own then went to and visited the 
Consulate in India to work out the details on their own hook.  It takes money 
upfront to bond people wanting to come to the US on visas from India like this. 
 That money evidently got put up by donors separate from Maharishi's money and

 Dear Share,

 I am doing this once again! While I am delighted to keep our
conversation going, I do have the sense that you may not be investing in
that conversation in quite the way that I am. I am attempting to be
quite rigorous while at the same time maintaining the sense of a loving
friendliness with you, since you are charming and intelligent enough to
keep me talking. What I sense, Share, is that you have more or less
written me off as someone with whom you are prepared to risk very much
in terms of seeing just how far your beliefs will take you. That is, as
I challenge those beliefs indirectly by my own hard-won convictions
about matters pertaining to the human soul.

 I would not want to stop talking to you, Share, but is it not true
that you are more interested in the warmth and cheer of our friendship
than any really serious examination of 'what is real' and what is not so
real? (This is said without an implied criticism whatsoever. I am biased
towards a more intellectual approach to these things, and perhaps I am
just giving away my own limitations here.)

 I don't want to seem supercilious or intellectually patrician, Share,
but I sense that the give-and-take of our dialogue might be slackening
into something that more resembles mere repartee during a coffee break
as opposed to the more formal and aesthetically stringent Japanese tea
ceremony (it was observed) we were once performing (at the beginning). I
think the ritual is becoming perhaps a little too casual and spontaneous
somehow, and the tea is getting a little weak.

 What say you, Share?Since I have only begun to initiate the
canonization processand we have not yet heard from the advocatus
diaboliI am reluctant to call you Saint Share (I won't use your
Eastern appellation) yet.What say you to my sense that perhaps we
should just post letters to each other at this point? [like this one] I
am especially interested in the authenticity of the two miracles you are
said to have performed (in order to have a Promoter of the Cause for
your possibleI thought imminentSainthood).

 Last time you persuaded meas almost no one else could under those
circumstancesto resume our conversation, and I am very glad you
did, because I feel, right up to my last post to you, I have benefited
from our conversation. But with your latest contribution, I feel perhaps
we know each other and our respective beliefs to the point where there
might not be sufficient creative (and loving) tension between us to
justify perpetuating our colloquy.

 I feel I have been the beneficiary of your discerning heart,
Shareand I note that you are getting a little uncomfortable at the
speed with which the Church at FFL is bringing on your canonization. It
seems, we sinners here at FFL need the example of a saint, so even if
you are not, in your own estimation, quite up for the job, it will do
the rest of us so much good to have someone we can look upon
whospontaneously, naturallyjust tells us the sweet truth.

 I think I was expecting a little more Hegel and The Song of Sixpence.

 But you really are kind and good and very real, Share. Talk me out of
this if that is the will of your Guardian Angel.

 You are an actual blessing for all of us on FFL.

The MSAE children are going through the process of indoctrination in an 
ideology. We all go through this process in one way or another and then spend 
the rest of our life attempting to gain liberation from this prison of the 
mind, an undoing process which, if the ideology remains intact, we shall indeed 
fail to accomplish.

Children have an uninhibited curiosity; that is how they learn. The social 
processes of indoctrination split the mind into categories of desirable and 
undesirable, and we end up with adults internally at war with themselves with 
shoulds and should nots vying for supremacy.

That the MSAE kids are meditating may be enough to snake them out of this dark 
slumber eventually; particularly the tendency to rebel at certain ages may give 
them the opportunity to free themselves of the curse of ideological thinking. 
Meditation is like axle grease, it smooths the process, but the spark that 
keeps one's curiosity going probably will come in from the world somewhere, in 
all its brilliant and dark diversity.

This forum was created for supposedly mature adults, and if children are

'I think I was expecting a little more Hegel and The Song of Sixpence.'

Hegel's contemporary Arthur Schopenhauer on Hegel:

'But the height of audacity in serving up pure nonsense, in stringing together 
senseless and extravagant mazes of words, such as had previously been known 
only in madhouses, was finally reached in Hegel, and became the instrument of 
the most barefaced general mystification that has ever taken place, with a 
result which will appear fabulous to posterity, and will remain as a monument 
to German stupidity.'

Song of Sixpence:

Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.

When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?

The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.

The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.

The earliest printed version of this rhyme (1744):

Sing a Song of Sixpence,
A bag full of Rye,
Four and twenty
Naughty Boys,
Baked in a Pye.

 Barack Obama has been a true supporter of Israel...

Everyone knows that Barack Obama supported Bush's 
Iraq-war policies by naming Hillary Clinton as his 
Secretary of State. Neocons are are just conservative 
liberals.

In fact, instead of reversing the 'Bush Doctrine', 
Obama supported it by retaining Robert Gates and 
David Petraeus and the 'surge' and by providing 
military support for Libyan rebels. 

So, it looks like you're just being devisive and

You need to get some smarts, Robert. You can critizize 
the Iraq war all you want, but leave America's support 
for Israel alone.

In my opinion, Obama is right to that the U.S. can't 
just sit back and wait for the next terrorist strike 
on New York City or Manhattan. We need to go out and 
put a stop to the terrorists and dictators where they 
operate.

In recent times, it was taught by Paramahansa Yogananda as a part of Kriya Yoga 
practice.[14][15] Yogananda stated that:

Through the performance of Kechari Mudra, touching the tip of the tongue to the 
uvula, or little tongue, (or placing it in the nasal cavity behind the 
uvula), that divine life-current draws the prana from the senses into the spine 
and draws it up through the chakras to Vaishvanara (Universal Spirit), uniting 
the consciousness with spirit.

 It's been an interesting few days here at Fairfield Life Junior High
 School. First some guy tried to stand up to the leader of my clique, as
 if he not only didn't care what She thought of him (imagine!), he also
 didn't care whether She'd give him strokes for agreeing with her (the
 idiot!). Of course She had to try to shout him down, but She got so
 caught up in it (understandable, of course!) that She wound up talking
 in class too much trying to put him down, and got suspended for a week.
 
 I thought I was gonna die. I mean, what can you do when the person you
 depend on to fight your battles for you and put down the people She
 tells you to dislike isn't around any more? It was awful, like some kind
 of test (and you know how I hate tests!). It was like we were left on
 our own to try to figure out who to hate without Her here to tell us and
 to give us strokes when we ranked on them.
 
 But it was only a one-week suspension, so I did the same thing that the
 other girls in the clique (and the four guys, who are so catty that
 they're almost honorary members of the clique!), and played pile on to
 Her standard enemies. And that worked, to some extent. Every time I did
 that, one or more of the other members of the clique would pat me on the
 back and tell me nice things about myself. It was almost like still
 having Her around, and I was groovin' on all the attention I was
 getting.
 
 Some of us even managed to do what She no longer can, and got one or
 more of the enemies to respond to our bullying, one on one, and give us
 *their* attention. It felt GOOD to get their attention, and to feed on
 it, just as She always said it would.
 
 And of course it paid off, because when She came back from her week of
 detention, She's been giving us attention and praising us and patting us
 on the back for Doing The Right Thing, just as we knew She would. It's
 been a pity that She can't get any of Her enemies to respond to Her any
 more, because we like it best when our champion gets them with her
 witty putdowns in the hallways of the school, in front of the lurker
 students who aren't cool enough to be members of our clique but like to
 watch the fighting anyway.
 
 But one of the almost-members-of-the-clique guys figured out how to get
 at least one of Her enemies to respond to him, by insulting one of Her
 enemies who moved to another school. It was kind of a pussy move for a
 guy, ragging on someone who hasn't been around for months and who isn't
 around to defend herself, but it worked. He got praised by She Who
 Counts for doing it, and it gave Her the opportunity to put down that
 person again, so almost-clique-member guy got all sorts of strokes for
 it.
 
 It worked so well, in fact, that I'm thinking of doing the same thing
 myself. I'll think of something nasty to say about one of the other kids
 who She has driven away, and say it. Maybe Ruth. Or that Curtis guy.
 I'll think of something nasty to say about them, and then She will think
 of something nice to say about me, and I'll be all important in the
 clique again. And that's all that matters.

RESPONSE: Double-irony. Suppose your premise (as a FFL reader) is: This person 
really believes in what he or she has said here. (This is a natural assumption.)

But if you read this post within this understanding, then, perhaps without 
knowing this consciously, you realize that in attacking various persons here on 
FFL, this poster is open *to the possibility* at least, of there being another 
point of view about this matter which would argue against this poster's point 
of view.

But not only does this person write as if that other potentially contradicting 
point of view does not exist, *even the very point of view that is being 
expressed here* is no real point of view at all. Because it risks nothing at 
the level of the heart, it risks nothing at the level of where we are all of us 
human beings who must register the pain and glory of existing in this universe.

This poster makes Letterman seem as if he's singing Jesus loves me this I 
know.

If you examine the personal subjectivity behind this post, it seems it could 
have been written by a computer named Misanthrope.

I say it once again: this poster does not reveal a scintilla of evidence that 
he or she really is willing to become vulnerable to the truth of what he or she 
has just said.

And if someone attempts to point this out (others have) this poster deploys an 
extraordinary intention: Act as if the counter-post does not exist. And never 
existed. Then post on some completely different topic *immediately after the 
counter-post is there for everyone to see*.

Watch for that post. It's coming.

By the way, I too think that authfriend is a vampire-sucking, grumpy, shameless 
bitchand I wish she would stop bringing such grief and suffering to the 
understandably delicate sensibilities of the poster who hasso

[FairfieldLife] Dear Diary...

2012-07-31 Thread awoelflebater

Dear Diary,

You know, dear diary, sometimes I think you are the truest friend I have. 
Anytime I can just reach for you and there you are, ready for me to pour my 
innermost thoughts and feelings into you. But maybe it's the Dutch beer 
talking. I'm on my second (mom and dad keep a stash in the basement fridge and 
luckily, so far, they haven't noticed my occasional pilfering). But never mind, 
let the beer talk. Today I want to reveal some of my most private musings and 
thank God, dear diary, that my guy friends have no idea of this secret 
relationship you and I have. 

Remember that wonderful physics teacher I told you about in grade 10? Professor 
Rama. Man, he was one cool dude. Always had the answers, made science so 
magical, so far out, so fun. And the chicks in that class were pretty hot too. 
We all seemed to be on the same wavelength, all there for the same reasons, we 
really dug that class. Prof. R even took us out for beers sometimes, we'd go to 
the movies together, rap about music. All within the context of him as our 
physics teacher, I mean, what a time, what a guy. I thought he was the answer, 
maybe I could become a physics teacher just like him!

But then the asshole had to go and blow himself up in the lab one day. 
Preparing for the next day's science project. Bastard, why did that have to 
happen? Why? He had it all, we loved that guy, we wanted to be that guy. And 
then, poof, he was gone.

And now, I have this bitch of a nerd in my English class again. She's just like 
Hermione in Harry Potter for chrissakes. Always has her hand up, always has 
the answer. Pick me, pick me. I'm so smart. I hate her. Why doesn't she shut 
up already? She's been in my English classes since grade 1. Fuck. Can't anybody 
do something about it? I'd like to drop this damn course but part of me just 
can't help watching her, studying her, all the time. (I wish she'd help me with 
the next creative writing assignment but damn if I'm going to ask her.) 

And this new guy who showed up last year. Says he's been de-programmed or some 
damn thing. What, like he was in the CIA or something? All I know is he came 
waltzing in and before you know it my philosophy class is all about him. Not to 
mention Religious Studies. Am I to have no peace here?! English class dominated 
by nerd-with-glasses and now Bird Man takes a crap in my other two favourite 
courses. And the little charmer just loves to shmooze it up with the women, 
thinks mixing religion with poetry and all his damn irony is  gonna get him 
crowned King of the Prom. Shit, my life sucks right now. 

Anyway, dear diary you have absorbed enough for one day. I think I'll go get 
that third beer now. Mom and dad aren't due for another few hours. It'll give 
me time to get started on that goddam creative writing assignment.

 And, dear readers of FFL, you realize it would only take slightest

 Something that originates in sincerity.

 I am beginning to see why there is such a thing as having to die.

 For even the consummate practitioner of double-irony meets there a
context of reality which transcends ironyand all of this reality
bears down upon us with its almightiness.

You must not realize that Kwan Shi Yin/Guan Shi Yin' is remembered with
the Chinese pigeon-Sanskrit mantra namo guan shih yin pusa
where pusa is just pigeon for bodhisattva. She is
really the Chinese LGBT transgender version of the male Avalokiteshvara
Bodhisattva whose Tibetan mantra is the well-known mantra om mani padme
hung  hrih.

Apparently, Chinese Buddhists just couldn't bear to have a
sympathetic, face-losing man as a patron who shed tears at the suffering
cries of the world. Thus, they changed him to her.

They apparently hoped for more mercy than possible when crying out

Close. You're thinking of a comment in a post I made earlier
in the day that I posted out about Barry and iranitea having
lost Vaj's support for the week because *he* had posted out:

Oh, and Vaj has just posted out, so you all will have
to do without him next week.

Barry misrepresented this comment as my having taunted Vaj
minutes before I posted out. Not true on either count.

But the point here is that nobody quoted that portion of my
post, so for Barry to have seen it, he had to have read the
post in its original form all the way to the very end,
despite his claims that he never reads my posts.

 Your behavior continues to belie your stated reality. But,
 that's O.K. So it goes, in the world of Barry.

 It's been an interesting few days here at Fairfield Life Junior High
 School. First some guy tried to stand up to the leader of my clique, as
 if he not only didn't care what She thought of him (imagine!), he also
 didn't care whether She'd give him strokes for agreeing with her (the
 idiot!). Of course She had to try to shout him down, but She got so
 caught up in it (understandable, of course!) that She wound up talking
 in class too much trying to put him down, and got suspended for a week.
 
 I thought I was gonna die. I mean, what can you do when the person you
 depend on to fight your battles for you and put down the people She
 tells you to dislike isn't around any more? It was awful, like some kind
 of test (and you know how I hate tests!). It was like we were left on
 our own to try to figure out who to hate without Her here to tell us and
 to give us strokes when we ranked on them.
 
 But it was only a one-week suspension, so I did the same thing that the
 other girls in the clique (and the four guys, who are so catty that
 they're almost honorary members of the clique!), and played pile on to
 Her standard enemies. And that worked, to some extent. Every time I did
 that, one or more of the other members of the clique would pat me on the
 back and tell me nice things about myself. It was almost like still
 having Her around, and I was groovin' on all the attention I was
 getting.
 
 Some of us even managed to do what She no longer can, and got one or
 more of the enemies to respond to our bullying, one on one, and give us
 *their* attention. It felt GOOD to get their attention, and to feed on
 it, just as She always said it would.
 
 And of course it paid off, because when She came back from her week of
 detention, She's been giving us attention and praising us and patting us
 on the back for Doing The Right Thing, just as we knew She would. It's
 been a pity that She can't get any of Her enemies to respond to Her any
 more, because we like it best when our champion gets them with her
 witty putdowns in the hallways of the school, in front of the lurker
 students who aren't cool enough to be members of our clique but like to
 watch the fighting anyway.
 
 But one of the almost-members-of-the-clique guys figured out how to get
 at least one of Her enemies to respond to him, by insulting one of Her
 enemies who moved to another school. It was kind of a pussy move for a
 guy, ragging on someone who hasn't been around for months and who isn't
 around to defend herself, but it worked. He got praised by She Who
 Counts for doing it, and it gave Her the opportunity to put down that
 person again, so almost-clique-member guy got all sorts of strokes for
 it.
 
 It worked so well, in fact, that I'm thinking of doing the same thing
 myself. I'll think of something nasty to say about one of the other kids
 who She has driven away, and say it. Maybe Ruth. Or that Curtis guy.
 I'll think of something nasty to say about them, and then She will think
 of something nice to say about me, and I'll be all important in the
 clique again. And that's all that matters.


Barry, excellent writing! Good parody, and spot on, it gave me the first laugh

[FairfieldLife] Re: to whom it may concern

Dear Empty Bill,

I didn't make a peep for twenty-five years, empty billbut once I got started, 
I couldn't stop myself.

The uncanny thing about your post here, empty bill, is how smoothly and 
elegantly you have transcended your own first-person ontology.

If you could tell me, however, if there was anything other than frustration and 
irritation as the motive of your post, this would interest me, emptybill.

You seriously misunderstand me: I want to be nice and loving all the time; but 
when the mockers come out and play dirty the niceness and lovingness, why, it 
turns to irony and brio*but* you have to believe me, empty bill, the moment I 
can sense something other than mere bluffing, bravado, desperation, and yes, 
even hatredthen suddenly I will remember Saint Francis and the birds. But when 
the crows are making a racket and trying to steal those lovely little blue eggs 
in the nest, then I pretend I am an eagle, and I swoop and strutmuch in the 
manner you describe here so equably, soberly.

Will your words here, empty bill, assuage your unhappy feelings? I certainly 
hope so. But what you have neglected to think through carefully enough is: What 
does *Robin* think he is doing by all his mock dissembling and sarcasm? If you 
read *my* motives in this, emptybill, I would then have to take your very 
seriously indeed. Because, you see, emptybill, my intentions here on FFL, they 
are far more morally driven than your disgust and aversion to what I am doing.

For me, that is the ultimate trick in polemics of this kindpolemics, that is, 
which descend to the level of personal insult: Whose context, you or your 
opponent's is getting a firmer grip on reality (the ultimate adjudicator 
alwaysand will be at our death: both of us, you and me, emptybill, we have to 
die).

I have performed my act on FFL. You don't like it and would have me acting 
perhaps as a more antic version of Lear's Foolor the cosmic harlequin whose 
nimble acrobatics are to seduce some would-be innamorato. But you get me wrong, 
emptybill: for I would only feel you had touched me in what you said here if 
your sincerity in doing so equalled my own in my performance. I conceive of 
acting in lovehowever differently it is perceived by you and a strong 
contingent of critics sympathetic to what you have said here.

Meanwhile I will console myself in the knowledge that I am answerable for all 
my actions, and I continue to believe that in your post here you hardly do me 
justice; you only, truly, emptybill, give yourself the satisfaction of having 
rid yourself of some intense feelings.

I will assume, however, that in having done so you will go about the rest of 
your day satisfied you have struck a blow for truthwhether your own truth, the 
truth of the Self, or the truth of something even higher.

I am sure, however, as I sit in this Starbucks, that were you able to join me, 
we might have some great conversation. I am nicer in person than I am on this 
forum.

And I am sure you are too.

 You must not realize that Kwan Shi Yin/Guan Shi Yin' is remembered with
 the Chinese pigeon-Sanskrit mantra namo guan shih yin pusa
 where pusa is just pigeon for bodhisattva. She is
 really the Chinese LGBT transgender version of the male Avalokiteshvara
 Bodhisattva whose Tibetan mantra is the well-known mantra om mani padme
 hung – hrih.

 Apparently, Chinese Buddhists just couldn't bear to have a
 sympathetic, face-losing man as a patron who shed tears at the suffering
 cries of the world. Thus, they changed him to her.

 They apparently hoped for more mercy than possible when crying out
 Mommy!

[FairfieldLife] Bhutan Bets Organic Agriculture Is The Road To Happiness

2012-07-31 Thread eustace10679

NPR July 31, 2012 03:52 pm by Eliza Barclay

The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan drew international attention a few years
back for saying gross national happiness should trump gross domestic product
when measuring a nation's progress. If you're going to prioritize happiness,
the Bhutanese thinking goes, you'd better include the environment and spiritual
and mental well-being in your calculations. (Not everyone in Bhutan is happy,
and many leave as refugees, as Human Rights Watch and others have noted.)

But Bhutan, which has only 700,000 people â most of whom are farmers â has
another shot at international fame if it can make good on a recent pledge to
become the first country in the world to convert to a 100 percent organic
agricultural system.

Last month at the Rio+20 Conference on Sustainable Development, Prime Minister
Jigmi Thinley said his government is developing a National Organic Policy
because the country's farmers are increasingly convinced that by working in
harmony with nature, they can help sustain the flow of nature's bounties.

Going all-out organic is a lofty goal for any country given that many farmers
â and poor farmers in particular â covet chemical fertilizers and
pesticides to enrich their soil, boost production and keep diseases and pests
at bay.

But Andre Leu, an Australian adviser to the Bhutanese government and the
president of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements,
says it's very doable.

I don't think it's going to be that difficult given that the majority of the
agricultural land is already organic by default, Leu tells The Salt.

Indeed, the synthetic chemicals and fertilizers that are used so widely in
countries like the U.S. are only available and affordable to a few of Bhutan's
farmers who are widely dispersed across the rugged and mountainous terrain
sandwiched between India and China. But very few of the organic-by-default
farmers have been certified as such by third-party institutions. (Certified
organic food, by the way, makes up less than 1 percent of the world's calories,
and is mostly available to wealthy consumers.)

According to the World Food Program, Bhutanese farmers mainly grow rice and
corn, as well as some fruits and vegetables, including potatoes and oranges.
But as demand for food has grown in recent years, the country has been forced
to import rice and other foods from India, and today Bhutan is a net food
importer.

One of the few products Bhutan exports to the U.S. is red rice; Lotus Foods
sells it to chains like Whole Foods. Bhutanese red rice is more nutritious and
tastes nuttier than white rice, its boosters say, and is well-suited to pilaf,
as Monica Bhide reported for NPR's Kitchen Window earlier this year. The rice
does not have organic certification, but Lotus Foods says it been grown without
the use of pesticides or other chemical inputs for centuries.

The Ministry of Agriculture says the organic program, launched in 2007, is not
just about protecting the environment. It will also train farmers in new
methods that will help them grow more food and move the country closer to
self-sufficiency. The ministry is now training extension workers in organic
methods and giving farmers who go organic priority for government assistance.

Not everyone is so sure that a 100 percent organic Bhutan is a great idea. Leu
says he's found some resistance among researchers at the Ministry of
Agriculture who've been trained in conventional farming techniques abroad.

And an article last year in the Bhutan Observer notes that many farmers who
grow export crops like apple, Mandarin orange, and potato already rely heavily
on chemical fertilizers and could be reluctant to give them up.

Still, Leu is optimistic that Bhutan's burgeoning organic agriculture research
centers will eventually be able to come up with organic methods to boost yields
and manage the problems of these crops.

All these problems are solvable, they just need a few more years of research
to come up with some more effective solutions, Leu says.

Robin2: I ain't got none of dem dere psychic powersme stay away from all dat.

On the other hand I talk to the Personal God about how to tune into his

seriously at all the metaphysical systems that I seem to represent, that I 
don't understand what I read, that I need to pontificate, that I want to be the 
centre of attention all the time?

And God looked at me very severely (lots of darshan coming at me) and declared:

Consciousness. Get it, Rob Baby? Now you apologize to iranitea, and I'll see 
you in the Dome.

Robin to God: In the DOME? WTF, God? Oh, I see, you mean that metaphorically. 
OK, then. I will endeavour in the rest of this post to do what I can to win

There was a silence, and then I couldn't help but blurt out: What if you don't

Thanks...I should stop relying on my recall but my point, although not 
supported by statement, was that Barry had read to the end of your post.  Glad 
that was an accurate statement.  Tee Hee.  Barry's World is perhaps a bit like 
Waldo's World - where is Barry?  I'm still looking for him.  Will the real 
Barry please stand up?  I know he's in there somewhere (that's just me though 
exercising my unconditional right to love).  Have a good day.

Close. You're thinking of a comment in a post I made earlier
in the day that I posted out about Barry and iranitea having
lost Vaj's support for the week because *he* had posted out:

Oh, and Vaj has just posted out, so you all will have
to do without him next week.

Barry misrepresented this comment as my having taunted Vaj
minutes before I posted out. Not true on either count.

But the point here is that nobody quoted that portion of my
post, so for Barry to have seen it, he had to have read the
post in its original form all the way to the very end,
despite his claims that he never reads my posts.

 Your behavior continues to belie your stated reality. But,
 that's O.K. So it goes, in the world of Barry.

Barry World is very similar to Disney World in its

 Iranitea1: Barry, excellent writing! Good parody, and spot on, it gave me the
 first laugh of the day...

 Robin1: And tell Buck too, iranitea, since you have made explicit your
 sympathy and support him in all that he is doing, that he should not be
 discouraged in his laudable moral crusade here on FFL.

 Your first laugh of the day? M-m-m: for me, laughter is an opinion-free
 zone. You should have had some laughs before this, iranitea. If you become
 pre-selective in your laughter (which jokes are said by the right person with
 the right party affiliation) I assure you, your soul will start to rust.

 This response to Barry was first-aid, comfort, compensation. It lacked the
 confidence of a response driven by pure appreciation.

 And therefore it is an insult to the writer.

 Iranitea2: Nope. It was totally genuine, innocent. You are just constructing
all this. Btw.
 I live in a different time zone, and my laugh was in the morning, when I
checked
 it on my phone. I laugh also about you, but you said I shouldn't pick fights
 with you. And, you demonstrate once more, that you don't really know me at
all,
 your psychic powers are just bluff.

 Robin2: I ain't got none of dem dere psychic powersâme stay away from all
dat.

 On the other hand I talk to the Personal God about how to tune into his
omnisubjectivityâand you won't believe this, iranitea, but when I consulted
him about this attribute, he said: STFU, Robin! There ain't no first-person
ontologyâ*I, myself*, have trying to get enlightenedâI want that Impersonal
God in me to manifest. So I don't have to be eternal and the source of
everyone's existence from the point of view of a Subjectivity which is the enemy
of the Unified Fieldâalthough I did plant some nice roses thereâNo one
noticed them, however; they just kinda saw a creative nothingness.

 I saidâyou still there, iranitea?âto God (now somewhat nonplussed by the
fact that even *he* is following the gods of FairfieldâI am sure it was Share
who seduced him away from being just the Holy Trinityâit was so much simpler
then): I am sorry to hear this, Big Guy: Here I was defending you and you are
joining the enemy camp.

 I then continued (making sure he couldn't speak before I got my next question
out): What about iranitea's latest post to me? Is he right that I never look
seriously at all the metaphysical systems that I seem to represent, that I don't
understand what I read, that I need to pontificate, that I want to be the centre
of attention all the time?

 And God looked at me very severely (lots of darshan coming at me) and
declared: He's dead right, Robbie Boy. And I ain't going to say another word to
youâbecause you will turn it into one of your 'extraordinary experiences'
[SL]âYou know: you talked to the Personal God and all that, and you are going
to make a big deal of this at FFL. I just tell you, Robin, once again: You are
headed for a greater fall than even when you found out you didn't like Unity
Consciousness. Get it, Rob Baby? Now you apologize to iranitea, and I'll see you
in the Dome.

 Robin to God: In the DOME? WTF, God? Oh, I see, you mean that metaphorically.
OK, then. I will endeavour in the rest of this post to do what I can to win over
iranitea and at the same time begin to be coherent, sincere, and consistent in
all that I do and say and write from here on in. Thanks for the counselling
session, GodâIt's just that I thought that omnisubjectivity, that that was
something you were really into. Well, I guess I don't know anything about this
first-person ontological stuff after all. F***me: I guess iranitea was right
about *that* too. OK, then. By the way, Sir: good luck with the Atman trip.

 There was a silence, and then I couldn't help but blurt out: What if you
don't like it, God? Will you be willing to return to your First Person
Ontology?

 God to Robin: Look, Robbie Bobbie: I have read your goddamn posts at FFLâI
am not going to get sucked into your game, OK?

 And that was it. I pretended to leave God's presenceâand He acted as if he
was not still infinitely intimate to me as the level of my existenceâHe being
his own existence.

 Back to your post, iranitea:

 Robin1: Your only concern was Barry's self-esteem. Methinks the lady doth
protest too
 much.

 This isn't the Special Olympics, iranitea. Watch it. We are all big boysâand
 Barry can look after himself just fine without your mealy-mouthed
blandishments.

 If your real experience of Barry's post had resembled what you say here, you
 would have joined in, and

Mr Tea,
You know, there are moments when I wish we could just have a regular chat. You 
have posted back to me with reasonable and sensitive replies so I know you have 
it in there, probably in spades. I know your realize that lots of this is just 
a game. Positioning ourselves here and there. Aligning ourselves with certain 
others to create a dynamic, to spur on some type of jousting. But I don't 
actually sense you are a bad guy. I know you don't think of yourself as one 
either. Sometimes your alliances seem forced, not really representing who you 
are or know yourself to be. Getting too analytical? I don't want that. 

Anyway, just thought I would extend a tentative hand in your direction in case 
you want to play sometime, but not by throwing sand in each others faces. I 
have a pretty neat tea set and could make some cookies. Wanna come over?

Dear Diary,

You know, dear diary, sometimes I think you are the truest friend I have. 
Anytime I can just reach for you and there you are, ready for me to pour my 
innermost thoughts and feelings into you. But maybe it's the Dutch beer 
talking. I'm on my second (mom and dad keep a stash in the basement fridge and 
luckily, so far, they haven't noticed my occasional pilfering). But never mind, 
let the beer talk. Today I want to reveal some of my most private musings and 
thank God, dear diary, that my guy friends have no idea of this secret 
relationship you and I have. 

Remember that wonderful physics teacher I told you about in grade 10? Professor 
Rama. Man, he was one cool dude. Always had the answers, made science so 
magical, so far out, so fun. And the chicks in that class were pretty hot too. 
We all seemed to be on the same wavelength, all there for the same reasons, we 
really dug that class. Prof. R even took us out for beers sometimes, we'd go to 
the movies together, rap about music. All within the context of him as our 
physics teacher, I mean, what a time, what a guy. I thought he was the answer, 
maybe I could become a physics teacher just like him!

But then the asshole had to go and blow himself up in the lab one day. 
Preparing for the next day's science project. Bastard, why did that have to 
happen? Why? He had it all, we loved that guy, we wanted to be that guy. And 
then, poof, he was gone.

And now, I have this bitch of a nerd in my English class again. She's just like 
Hermione in Harry Potter for chrissakes. Always has her hand up, always has 
the answer. Pick me, pick me. I'm so smart. I hate her. Why doesn't she shut 
up already? She's been in my English classes since grade 1. Fuck. Can't anybody 
do something about it? I'd like to drop this damn course but part of me just 
can't help watching her, studying her, all the time. (I wish she'd help me with 
the next creative writing assignment but damn if I'm going to ask her.) 

And this new guy who showed up last year. Says he's been de-programmed or some 
damn thing. What, like he was in the CIA or something? All I know is he came 
waltzing in and before you know it my philosophy class is all about him. Not to 
mention Religious Studies. Am I to have no peace here?! English class dominated 
by nerd-with-glasses and now Bird Man takes a crap in my other two favourite 
courses. And the little charmer just loves to shmooze it up with the women, 
thinks mixing religion with poetry and all his damn irony is  gonna get him 
crowned King of the Prom. Shit, my life sucks right now. 

Anyway, dear diary you have absorbed enough for one day. I think I'll go get 
that third beer now. Mom and dad aren't due for another few hours. It'll give 
me time to get started on that goddam creative writing assignment.

Enemies?  Really?  You think he thinks of some on this forum as enemies?  You 
are so far off the mark on this, IMO.  You must not keep thinking in these 
black and white terms.  Us and them?  What is wrong with you?
