26. Thanks for hanging in there, but I fear little communication is
Edited on Fri Feb-02-07 02:04 PM by ktlyon
taking place here. I get the feeling you are missing my points completely.
No matter how hard we try to control DNA or it's blueprint or anything else, we can not do so. Everything can and will be used for good and bad. Really there is no good and bad but that is another discussion.
I am talking about control in a personal way. We must be open and accepting of other ideas when we go out into the world.
We must get beyond the idea that we are in control of nature. When we use unsustainable growing methods like apply dangerous chemical fertilizers and pesticides eventually the system will fail. If we work with nature, do it natures way instead of mans way then something healthy and renewable can be created.

This piece is about creating and trying to forge a new future not continue the same tit for tat, "Ender's Game" kind of thinking that is controlling todays reality. When we begin to examine the self and see who we are then, and only then, can we begin to see what the real world is. In other words our pre-conceived notions and things we believe to be truths are all a construct and are keeping us from seeing. Once we see and remove these prejudges can we begin to see the world. If we spend all our time seeking revenge then revenge or getting even will consume. Until one understands ones self one can never understand someone else. We need to put down our differences and really try to understand each other and that begins with the self.
