the state didnt have much to do with the mines... not one cent
of taxes was placed on it, or the gas and oil removed... (the
area i grew up in had the first oil well during the oil boom)
industry abused the people and the land. chemical plants and
coal mines... union carbide, the plant in bhopal. india that
gassed everyone back in the day? same plant, four miles from my
house where i grew up. in new mexico, by contrast, the public
education system was funded by the taxes on potash mines... as
well as subsidizing roads... west virginia got screwed by big
industry... but then who didnt?

Then the State was essentially a silent partner. When I speak of
"The State", I mean the Politicians of it, not the folk.
Most States have corruption as standard practice. It's endemic
to our political system.

absolutely... i realized at a relatively early age that if i
was going to have any sort of education, i was the only one
going to make that happen... my grade school was one of the
many picked for government testing on behavioral manipulation...
the first i recall was the “blue eyed people are more
intelligent than brown eyed people” “government studies”..
having green eyes, i rationalized i was in neither group so i
was an observer. my education, about public education, began at
this point and im even less impressed today than i was then.
the library was my second home until after high school... then
i was the geek in the stacks studying ethnopharmacognosy for
kicks... now i have the internet and have had to learn to
limit my appetite. i shall hopefully remain the student even
after passing... my guess is this whole tangled mess is less
confusing than what comes next, but its the only pre-flight
manual we have...

How on earth did you even have a clue what ethnopharmacology was
in High School?
I never heard that word until...Well.....NOW.
A quick google came up with a couple of different descriptions.
One, having to do with disseminating different parts of a plant
and it's relation to the other parts. The other describing a
long history of the medicinal uses for various plants.
Apparently the art of study on the subject was begun in India
7000 years ago.
7000 years ago???
Fuck!

sense if the mechanics of life.

How about how utterly satisfied I feel after a big helping of
mixed greens? I love cooking mustard, collards, and turnip
greens together. That and some cornbread and I am happy as a pig
in mud.

ready for attaching the gong hangers... measured and ran the
steel cables, three sheet metal screws in each rubber plug to
secure the feet, set it up and touched up my painting
holidays... so far im pleased, i checked my measurements and
the geometry and numbers are spot on! based on ancient sacred
geometry, the build began on the solstice, the base length is
11.11 feet... the time of the solstice and my birth in 1957.
the missing section, the “capstone” is the length of my index
finger, the spacing for the top legs is the width of my palm,
the diameter of the circle forming the top is the length of my
hand, the height is measured in length of my forearm... digit,
palm, hand, foot and cubit are all measurements used in egypt
during the great pyramids construction but moreover, it makes it
a very personal fit.

I'm impressed with the thought and engineering you put into this
man! What a sense of historical connection as well! What's your
educational back ground?
And more important....What is a "Painting Holiday?"

You should document the process. With video. It sounds like an
interesting process.
