Sometimes I disconnect from the world, then I reconnect. Then I disconnect again. Sometimes you just have to get away. You have to disconnect in order to remain rational and sane.
The world really is a nutty place. Perhaps I want to go out in the desert in order to get away from it all. Yuk, yuk.
Yesterday, I had a thought I'd like to keep active, or otherwise, I'll forget. The idea is to make my home on top of an open trailer***. This isn't unique, as I have seen the idea elsewhere. The thing that's new is for me to make the thing on my own according to my own designs. That's a scary notion, there. I have no experience with that.
Posting is lite as I have been busy with other things.
Update:
Another trailer link***.
Update ( 8/17/14)
And another that may hold the Craftsman Storage Shed discussed in the off-the-grid series.

ParaPundit: Afghan Government To Fall Once United States Leaves
ParaPundit: Afghan Government To Fall Once United States Leaves
We are fighting the wrong enemy? Who'da thunk? Well, Sun-Tzu says if you don't know your enemy, you have a 50-50 chance of winning. If you don't know yourself nor your enemy, you are jodido.
Doesn't look like we know who the real enemy is and we may not know ourselves either, so the conclusion follows.

Britain: If hostilities break out in Gaza again, we’re cutting Israel off

comment:
The Brits have just about lost it for sure. Great example of that right here in this story.
England is being Islamified. There may be more babies being born as Muslim than as Christian. This can only be true because the state has destroyed the basis of Christianity there, just as it is doing everywhere in the West. ( I can't back up that assertion with facts, except those here in the US, but I suspect that the state has indeed destroyed Christianity everywhere in the West.)
Israel has not done any wrong here. These are people intent upon their destruction, just as they are intent upon the destruction of the United States. To the Muslims, American and Israel are the same. This should be regarded as an unfriendly act towards America. But this group in DC would never do anything like that, if it means to actually defend America, which is now, in truth from their point of view, the great sin that Bush committed.
You can make comparisons to Nazi Germany as far as the Christianity aspect is concerned, but make the comparisons honest. Nazi Germany was not Christian.

Obama Now: It Wasn't My Choice to Pull All Troops Out of Iraq; That Meanwich Stinkburger al-Maliki Made Me Obama Then: It Was Totes My Decision to Pull All Troops Out of Iraq!!!

Obama really is an enemy. Would a friend lie to you and put you at risk of harm? He's done that by opening the borders to unlimited migration. Anybody, including terrorists can now enter. Would a friend do that to you?
Obama is lying about Iraq. But that's nothing new. There's no honesty and sincerity in the man. Everything you see in this man is artificial and false.

Robin Williams
Well, that's in the news. How can you say something tasteful about it without echoing the stuff coming from the media?
In other words, how do I comment in an original way?
Actually, the comment is implicit in this blog. When I write about humor, it is really intended to be expressed as the ability to laugh at oneself and not take yourself too seriously. You see, I had to learn that lesson myself the hard way. I'm not blessed with a great sense of humor. I have to constantly remind myself not to take myself too seriously.
Was there something missing in Robin Williams' humor? At the risk of being tasteless here, I'm going to venture that there might have been. He may never have learned how to laugh at HIMSELF and therefore was missing that element in his humor. He was a gifted comedian. I'm very sorry he died, especially the way he did.

A question for anybody interested in this topic
Topic: The role of Christianity in Western Civilization
Question: Is the secular state attempting to stamp out Christianity, and by what means?
Answer: I think yes, and the means is by taxation. Although it is true in the United States that the church is tax exempt, it is also true that the church must stay out of politics. However, what happens when politics encroaches upon religious liberty? Then the churches are helpless from such encroachment. You are seeing that with the implementation of Obamacare. But make no mistake. It goes much, much farther than that. Everything that the political left wants so badly ( such as abortion ) goes into enhancing their power at the expense of the church. Abortion encourages promiscuity and irresponsibility. The result is a nation that no longer produces children. No nation can survive that for long.
But the churches are only helpless to the extent that they allow themselves to be sucked into the moneychanger scheme of control. The moneychanger scheme of control means that the church cannot stand on its own without assistance from the state and is thereby subordinated to the state. Once that happens, the church is no longer free to be itself. It cannot actively protest abortion, for example. If any church does, it will lose tax exempt status. The moneychanger scheme of control wins again.
The solution? The church should grow its own food. It should build sufficient housing for a substantial portion of the population when the government fails to adequately address the needs of the people. The government WILL fail because every government does fail eventually. Check your history books. It fails as the Ricimer example of the late Roman Empire in the West demonstrated. It fails because it concentrates all of its attention upon its own needs and ignores the needs of the people and the community. Such an empire cannot stand because it lacks what it needs to sustain itself---the will to sustain itself. The leaders simply don't care about anybody but themselves.
You have to take matters into your own hands while at the same time not getting burned by ruthless authorities who only care about their own perks and privileges.
