A crash course in changing the world.
Actually doing something...
careful, i'm not being as friendly and charming as i could be in this post. that being said, someone has to say it.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

now, do we all feel better that we got that out of our systems? can we get on with a little action? or is this a feel-good facebook knock off?
other than reading and networking, whats goin on here folks?
how are your first aid / emergency response skills?
how about building skills? any good with a hammer, nails, powertools, gluegun?
do you kill your houseplants or can you garden? do you have a garden?
you can blog, but can you fix your computer?
and other than talking about what we can do, or you out doing it?
now i know some of you can and some of you are, so lets focus on some action here.
here's my challenge to you, go _do_ something. teach someone something useful. organize a first responder group. rip out some of that grass in your yard and plant some food. do something every day and then come back here and blog about that. find people here doing the things you do and actually collaborate, maybe a little face to face action... scary i know but... its a scary world, thats what we're supposed to be dealing with here, right?
now i might not get featured cause of my brusque tone, but, i don't care about the points as much as i care about doing something.
but points are part of the game and i do like games... post pictures, videos, or blogposts about what you are doing right now and add the tag NOTAGAME. i will hunt these things down and power you up.
let's get our hands dirty :D

I agree with you and everybody else here; I'm hardly thinking of action and posting about it (maybe too mildly until now) since a couple of days; from now on I'll tag NOTAGAME those posts and the future one, when proposing or reporting real action.
Thank you Glim, +1 SPARK

I strongly agree with you Agent Glim. ACTION speaks louder than VOICE! Rather than talking about what we can do, why not take an initiative and proudly share it to everyone? Right? That's a great kick in the ass. Really loved it. Thanks for that. Please keep in touch. Maybe we can chat some other time to discuss it those things. +COURAGE

Like the blog...as you say we got to learn a lot of stuff....we losing essence sometimes of the bigger world and what we believe to be 'simple' just as important as something else. How can we build a house without knowing how to make cement?x

I'm working on an Evokation where the idea is to educate more people, especially kids, on how to do the basics of life as a human being. I describe it as a human powered school, where everyone can contribute their own knowledge about what works, and why it works, so that everyone else can learn. Sort of Instructibles meets Wikipedia meets the Scouts meets the Wh*** Earth Catalog. :-)

Sounds like something Lazarus Long would say. Am I correct?

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
