A perspective on planet earth.

I think of the as this...The entire planet is a living breathing organism with many systems to sustain it.  We have tapped into one of the most vital systems that being oil.  If oil were the blood of the earth we have let it bleed out quite enough.  We know ho oil and other natural resources are created and we are quickly running them low.  If the human body runs low of blood what happens?  it dies, well look at what we are doing.  If the earth is a living organism than we are the cells that flourish throughout doing things not unlike viruses/bacteria and helper cells that create good things as well as bad.  Somethings we do improve our planet while others tend to destroy the vital systems that are in place.  And like any body some times certain things fail and die off.

Whether you like or not we are children of this planet and we need to be the stewards of it.  We can look to religion for some sort of understanding but it will tell you the same.  If we don't stop and look around and truly take account of what is going on than we have condemned our children and theirs to  fate far worse than than ours.  Legacy has to be written in our stories and actions as citizens of the world not as festering infections that leave foul tasting and smelling environs for others to clean up.

What I ask of the world is to take responsibility and accountability.  Clean up your own messes don't leave it for others to do.  If we all pull together and just take responsibility for ourselves we can make things a lot better and be more productive.  I know that I have committed many transgressions against our planet and am willing to do my best to create a better planet for my children.

Just some observations that I have come to relate to my own life and world bubble.

  

State vs private

I have to rant about this.  I am sick of seeing students going to a state school and being abused not by other students but by the system.  Administrators that make so much money and left in positions of power that they can manipulate the system to create an air of control over students lives.  Tracking sucks it has never worked and will never work.  I understand where the money comes from and you are the paid individuals by your students to provide a service. get off your stupid fucking lofty chairs and do us a service.  create more tutors run better programs hire better teachers just because you have a PhD doesn't mean you know how to teach.  it's bullshit you know and I know it.  So you want to know how to fix the system listen to your students walk in their shoes live their lives for a little bit.  a little bit of understanding goes a long fucking way.

I am out of this school and moving on to a different one to fulfill my life's dream but what I have seen here is pitiful you need to clean up your act and quick you are doing a dis-service to the people who pay your salaries.

Peace out

Strange things are afoot at the Uaa

I have been going to school here this semester and I have had some difficult medical problems arise as I go through said semester.  while I am to blame for my faults and misdemeanors, I still have a strange feeling that something is amiss. I started out fine with conversations with my advisory but it wasn't until I sent a certain e-mail that everything erupted.  Then I received strange emails from my adviser that supposedly had received before but was sent to a different email address that does not exist.  Leaving me to wonder if the powers that be and I know you are watching every move and turn would stoop to such a level in academia.

I am uncertain as to what will come of this but it is intriguing to say the least.

That's all,

Happy Spring Break.

Pussy Riot in Sochi

I met a lady once that said that she liked music and bands that did not involve politics.  I can see that, we need that part of music but in the end music has always been used one way or another in the political and social arenas.  I think it is the responsibility of the artist to make the decision whether to be political or not and allowing their music to be used for such things.  Now when we have bands like Pussy Riot which are primarily for political gain we still need to look to them for representation of part of the community and state.

I just saw that the band was beaten up by Russian police while they were filming a video outside of the Olympics.  Vladimir Putin had said that the Olympics should seperate sport from politics but they go hand in hand as does the music.  I realize that it is a different country and culture from ours but still we need to be aware of human rights when these actions are taking place.  Does the band push the envelope to getting into these problems, yes they do but we need people like this to force change in giant political machines that tend to crush the individual.

What I say is don't stop, fight the power and always question authority!!!  I stand with you !!!

Education in the hands of politicians

I have been known to have some rather unpopular beliefs although I tend to believe that more people will agree with me then want to add their name to the list.  Which is fine I understand the climate of the world we live,  So here is my rant on the state of education in our state, Alaska if you didn't already know that.

We live in the last frontier, it still has an old west kind of vibe that is slowly moving towards modernism, yet it sees to be kicking and screaming along the way.  Which is how it should be.  I would hate to be in a state that just let things happen and be bowled over by the robber barons of our day.  So now we come to a particular subject that is close to my heart.  Education.

Our governor, for lack of a better word, Sean Parnell whom I believe to be in deep pockets with the big oil companies, which is nothing new and don't blame him for his short sightedness in that aspect they have an impressive lobby and lots of money.  No big secret their.  But in the mot wealthiest state of the union there is no need to be cutting education budget for the largest districts in the state.  And then to corner the market into a debate on vouchers and forcing through a bible belt agenda.

I am a strong advocate for seperation of church and state.  I think that there should bee no involvement of religious beliefs in an institution that is supposed to represent all of those beliefs.  Is it alright to keep "God" in the pledge of allegiance, yes that is fine albeit a fine line but I accept that.  I teach evolution as a theory for human development on this planet, I also show creationism, and alien seeding as other theories for how life developed.  Why, it is simple we don't have a 100% understanding of how it all came together.  What I do know is that our forefathers had the good sense to create a system that is allowed to breathe and not be confined to it's own borders.

If we don't have a place that is publicly funded that represents all beliefs then we have factions that will cause greater dis-stability.  Vouchers for parents who want to send their children to private institutions will on exacerbate the instability leading t widespread distrust and unease.  Religious bodies already enjoy tax free operation within our country, we will have public school turning into bastions of religious beliefs just to get the benefits from the state.  Bad juju if you ask me.  What I see it all coming don to is a christian based movement to disrupt the educational system in this nation.  Which is unfortunate,  we don't see such an outright outpouring from other religions but it has something to do with christian belief organizations.  To have a church-state will lead us backwards into something that Europe dealt with ages ago.

Can't we as one of the last free thinking nations break free from this debate and fund our schools as they should where we favour the bright over the brawn.  But until we have a "Superbowl" for the minds over the pigskin I fear we never will.  Sorry to be a downer but it is the truth of the matter.

Now feel free to throw as much rotten fruit as you can find my way, I am after all a starving college student and I an eat around the rotten bits

Now's the time to rise!!!

So Russian president Putin thinks he can stop the masses from knowing what is really going on in his world.  I support Nadya Tolokonnikova  and Pussy Riot!!!!  We broke down the fucking wall once before why the hell can't we do it again.  This is bullshit, they say they have democracy but in turn it is run by the church and old men.  Screw that shit, it is time for us to get behind some stuff again we are the ones who did Live Aid for Christs sake.  Let's get our shit together and support some people that are truly trying to be free.  FREE NADYA is my new mantra and I am turning everyone I know on to it write a letter send an e-mail do something.  Plus the fact that they have a great name for a band?!?!?!?
