Two biblical injunctions directly address the same problem as our genes have already solved but the bible provides a disastrously wrong answer: <BR/>1. " be fruitful and multiply"<BR/>2. " don't be fruity "<BR/>[excuse my paraphrasing...the executioner has both dull axe and dull puns]<BR/>As tribal memes these are success formulas. As global memes in resource constrained world they are sentences of doom. One of those hopelessly screwed up "values" that chain the personal to the global and drop the pair into deep water.<BR/><BR/>Shokai: On reading your post about "mind that sticks to nothing" I felt a little "Ah Ha!" moment. But I wonder if I understood much really. For instance, is romantic or sexual attraction regarded in Buddhism as something special in the sense that human nature highly inclines the mind to stick to some aspect of them? <BR/><BR/>As for being surprised at who is drawn in by non-content [title in my case, eye appeal it seems, in yours (and where DO you get all those images?)], I only meant to pun on Norman Mailer's great book <I>The Executioners Song</I>. Half of the traffic I got after google indexed the blog was probably from people looking for skimpy underware or persons dressed therein.

I added it to the blogroll becasue it is one of the more interesting sitees I have found and beacuse it has an elegant design. Mostly for the content: if content were water in blogland you could wade throug without getting your knees wet. Thanks for the post and no, you don't look all that gay. really you don't.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02740824170134971417noreply@blogger.com
