The question is often whether you should speak your truth with tactful kindness or brutal honesty.  Perhaps, that is the wrong question.  Do you actually own the truth or even a part of it for someone else? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lonewolfsurvival/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lonewolfsurvival/support

Loving Too Easy If I have a fault, It is loving too often and Loving too easy. Was often told It was wrong To fall in love with nothing more Than a smile passing between the woman and I. And before the smile could even dry Falling for another With sunshine in her soul. Only two of the women I've loved Loved this trait of mine One is my wife and The other is her bookkeeper.

There are two sayings among the youth in China: Laying Flat and, Let It Rot. These two phrases get to the heart of a country in serious economic, social, and political trouble.  The problems facing Xi and the communist party are immense and possibly endemic to communism.   Will Xi be able to save the country?  Well, the jury is out on that question. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lonewolfsurvival/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lonewolfsurvival/support

Our money is unraveling.   Congress spends money we don't have, and the Fed prints money in the trillions.  Countries are starting to lose confidence in our ability to support a financial system with an unsound money supply.  And we are accelerating the process of de-dollarization by kicking countries like Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and others out of the system.  We want to kick China out, but they hold a trillion dollars of our Treasury Bills. Will this turn out to be a good story instead of a tragedy? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lonewolfsurvival/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lonewolfsurvival/support

I grew up in a fundamentalist religion.  The voices raining down on me these days sound a lot like the voice of the preacher falling on the young man in a hard pew a long time ago.  Righteousness on both sides. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lonewolfsurvival/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lonewolfsurvival/support

We have made choices that raised our energy costs.  It is very doubtful that most of these choices will lower our CO2 emissions.  For instance, electric cars do not lower CO2 emissions unless you build more renewable energy power plants first.   When four out of the biggest economies in the world are still expanding coal production and building coal power plants, our money is not being well spent.  In fact, we are making the lives of poor people more difficult without accomplishing all we can on going green.   The fastest and most cost-effective way for us to reduce CO2 emissions at this point in time is to build natural gas power plants and shut down coal power plants.  And step two is to build nuclear power plants while we crank up R&D on green technology and begin some serious development of an engineering plan to go green cost-effectively. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lonewolfsurvival/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lonewolfsurvival/support

The beat, beat of her drum Coming for me from deep within the forest of my mind Beats like footsteps coming nearer My heart pounding in my ears. Perhaps she will turn away, Her steps receding into the distant business of life But what if she turned this way Noticing me as I hide underneath my fear. What if she saw me And I her. The flow of light intense between us Would I burst into flames At being seen? Would she be singed, or Perhaps, utterly immune to tales of my heart. Or would she too Simmer, smoke, and catch fire herself Her innards removed and lay bare on the table Sampled in tiny morsels by my curiosity Or devoured by my imperfections in seeing her soft skin exposed? What would I find in the folds of her brain Or the softness of her inner thighs Would I become obsessed or even deranged By flesh and thoughts so foreign Or would her meat be but ordinary And forgotten after the licking of the fingers. And yet, it is probably nothing, Not the beating of hearts or even the pattering of feet But merely the fantasies of my mind Seeing life in the corporal realm of existence Where mortals flounder in the living and dying Seeking to be essential and noticed In our songs, sung on stages Neith the arch of our lives From nothing to nothing And but a flash in between.
