Rain In A Rusty Bucket

It's what makes the bucket Rusty... and by the way, if you see Rusty tell her to write.

The Real World

Politics is illusion. The media, just lights, people, fleeting and mostly pointless (nothing personal, I love us anyway)... but let's face it... or rather, I THINK that... things like this are what is really real, what is really happening, we are still just tiny creatures on the face of something much bigger.

Consider that we could put all of mankind's power, ALL OF IT, to stopping a simple venting of ash as this, and we'd fail. All our might, nothing compared to the gentlest of volcanic events.

And of course, awesome looking as always, Mother Nature.

Mexico's Popocatepetl Volcano erupts, sending a plume of ash almost three miles into the air and giving seismic needles the jitters.

I read back on other articles and figured out that you endorse nothing, but believe that to physically fight these men is to sink to their level, right?

endorse nothing? that's typical of pyrrhonism, but it's more that everything is a theory, and it's really a matter of proportions. Generally, what I believe and what I insist people agree with me about are two very different set and my goal is to minimize the size of the second set. Mostly, I'm apathetic about other people's personal decisions.

To endorse a plan or not just requires a specific plan consider.

On physical fights, I do believe non-violence is ideal, however, of course people have the right and need to fight for defense and survival, so it depends who "these men" are?
