Germ Warfare and the "Five Second Rule"

Germ Warfare and the "Five Second Rule"

It's a little known fact that the "5 Second Rule" is an obscure provision tucked away inside the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), which sought to eliminate germ warfare. Of course the Germs did not like this... AT ALL, and threatened retaliation. The Humans were forced to offer some concessions and the 5 second rule was born.

The Germs have asked that you please read this post as a reminder that consuming their food-aid threatens to destabilize this fragile relationship.

It could, literally, save bacon.

"The Bond villain is often deranged and grandiose, sure, but he (or she) is also capable of hatching elaborate plans to increase their bottom line, often by secretly manipulating the world’s economic systems (sometimes with the aid of a clandestine nuclear weapon or two). So, could they have succeeded?"

A Clever Poem Addresses Welfare in 1949

A Clever Poem Addresses Welfare in 1949

This was just the reminder I needed that the welfare / socialist / entitlement / steal from the rich and give to the lazy problem in the United States has been around much longer than any of us. Here is a poem, you may or may not like.

The real purpose of your life...

The real purpose of your life... 

I really dig Alan Watts and his ideals. He challenges me as a father and a human being who is really interested in living this one life I've been given to the very best of my abilities.

After watching this video, the question, for me, then becomes, "How does one raise their children in a manner that promotes these ideals but, at the same time, fosters their development into adults that are capable of supporting themselves and their future families?" 

The idea to sort of break free from the system is certainly germane to our choice to live the "slow travel" lifestyle, but the milestone-to-milestone path is difficult to avoid as a responsible parent.

Perhaps I'm just over-thinking things here...
