The Scent of Green: Civility
http://thescentofgreen.blogspot.com/2009/05/civility.html
The Scent of Green. Thoughts of a Southern man in northern Saskatchewan. Tuesday, May 19, 2009. People here talk about the weather a lot. And as such was certainly worth talking about. These days, I don’t mind a discussion of the weather, unless its purpose is solely to have something safe to say to someone with whom we have little relationship. I guess I’ve always been a little contrary. Of “culture” have moved from the local and specific to the widespread and general. We now experience ...Of politeness...

The Scent of Green: Great News!
http://thescentofgreen.blogspot.com/2009/05/great-news.html
The Scent of Green. Thoughts of a Southern man in northern Saskatchewan. Sunday, May 10, 2009. According to this article. Gen David Petraeus, the head of U.S. Central Command, believes that al-Qaida is no longer operating in Afghanistan. Mission accomplished, payback for 9/11 complete. So when are we bringing our boys home? Wait, aren't we sending even more troops to Afghanistan? From which Obama conscripted his Undersecretary of Defense). Are they all at a conference or something? If you're new here, pl...

The Scent of Green. Thoughts of a Southern man in northern Saskatchewan. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. As it is usually presented. It is in no way sustainable and does not represent a lasting solution to either our social or environmental problems. I’ve recently read about three different “solutions” to various environmental problems. Two are in the vein of “green”. Covered by mainstream media outlets? Darn, I let the cat out of the bag on that one, didn’t I? Traction in society as a whole? Now I’m all ...

The Scent of Green: Federalism Amendment?
http://thescentofgreen.blogspot.com/2009/04/federalism-amendment.html
The Scent of Green. Thoughts of a Southern man in northern Saskatchewan. Thursday, April 23, 2009. I just read this article. From the Wall Street Journal on the wisdom of seeking a Federalism Amendment to specifically define federal and state powers. If you know me, you know I think this is long overdue. And Department of Homeland Security. If you are an American and have not read the Constitution and its Amendments. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A Tale of Adam. Little House in the Suburbs.

The Scent of Green: Connections
http://thescentofgreen.blogspot.com/2009/05/connections.html
The Scent of Green. Thoughts of a Southern man in northern Saskatchewan. Tuesday, May 5, 2009. I need connections. I need a place to. And to be a part of. Since I was 17 I’ve been somewhat of a drifter. I finished high school, moved out of my parents’ house, and set out on a spectacularly unsuccessful attempt to make it on my own. At which I was to teach. Happened to have a garage apartment for rent. His sweet little children were the first to introduce me to my new title:. In each one of us. Your connec...

The Scent of Green: Orthodoxy?
http://thescentofgreen.blogspot.com/2009/04/orthodoxy.html
The Scent of Green. Thoughts of a Southern man in northern Saskatchewan. Friday, April 17, 2009. I was asked the other day by a pastor, “You’re not exactly what we would call ‘orthodox’, are you? 8212;right action or practice—which is experiential and to some degree self-corrective (if not allowed to become another orthodoxy in itself). April 17, 2009 at 12:59 PM. Doesn't right action require right authority? Trying to figure this out myself and will keep reading. April 17, 2009 at 9:09 PM. A Tale of Adam.

The Scent of Green: A Tale of Adam
http://thescentofgreen.blogspot.com/2009/04/tale-of-adam.html
The Scent of Green. Thoughts of a Southern man in northern Saskatchewan. Friday, April 17, 2009. A Tale of Adam. To God, hence my term "philosophy". So, without further ado. By Daniel Quinn. I thought it was an excellently crafted work that made the first family of the Judeo-Christian tradition seem quite well what they always were—human. After all, the term. What should happen to this situation when we look past the belief that the world was ever an idyllic place? A faith in which we and the world aroun...
