Born to be What you are
We blame others for being what they are.
But did they have a choice?
Did they choose to be what they are or was most of it preordained by the birth lottery? Did they pick their parents? Did they pick the culture they would be brought up in? Did they pick the religion they would follow? Did they pick the history that surrounds them? Did they pick the framework in which they see the world?
So why do we blame them (and not ourselves)? Why do we fail to understand that they are victims of their circumstances much as we are of our own?

Their Eyes Glazed Over
Course of course this web blog is kind of a joke. We pretend to be lemmings, intelligent lemming scientists who study the human creatures.
Those humans remind us of us. After all, they are mammals with herd instincts just like our own. They run around under the illusion that they are "intelligent". They "burrow" themselves into a hole in order to build solid communities of prosperity. They overbreed, go crazy, and start a stampede ....
How did this investigation into the lemming-human connection start?
Someone on one of the peak oil sites wrote of their attempt to communicate with fellow creatures about Peak Oil
"Their eyes glazed over," is the way that poster explained it. That got me started. Why? Why do their eyes glaze over? That is one of the questions this web blog explores.
Lemmings are we.

Loosening the Manacles of Manic Manipulation
On the Morning after "Nutcracker" Magic, the eye blinks open wondering if it was merely a dream, or more so, a well scripted stage show whose splendor now shatters like brittle ice crystals struck by a rising day's sun.
Some say America is Awakening.
The Shock and Awe of 9/11 is gone.
Fear of Fear has become just a tiresome Clockwork of so many Codes Orange and Red rather than a dazzling rainbow of post-storm hallucinations.
The bullhorn pulpit is gone.
A spotlight shines instead on missions promised but not accomplished.
So many billions gone and nothing to show for it.
America realizes she had been in the grips of a Manic Manipulator.
Now the seductive shackles of blind faith in a resolute leader come undone. We ask ourselves. "What have we wrought? Have we become the Destroyer of World?"
