Show THE ZEPHYR/FEBRUARY-MARCH the crux of our mental activity (“Shop till ya drop!”). We hunt and gather because we're hard-wired to do so. It’s amonkey thing. Which is OK, as long as there's a balance between the number of monkeys and the ability of the environment to provide for our needs. (Or, in our case, demands). The new chic is to call the requisite balance - sustainability. But that’s just another con. There's nothing sustainable about what modern humans are up to. Monkey Island with computers is still Monkey Island. 2007 VXI rT ee 817 §. MAIN ST in MOAB 5-11PM MIDNIGHT on WEEKENDS OUTDOOR Outdoor Gear I won't die. I won't go anywhere.

Probably Jimmy America is spiritually bankrupt and in need of a good-old-fashioned butt kicking. The idea that we run around all week in gas guzzling hogs, neck ties strangling our carotid arteries, all the while in pursuit of the green stuff, so we can spend our free time in front of the tube enthralled by the most banal jive ever devised by man (take your pick: American Idol, the NASCAR race of the week, MTV, football, the Porn Channel..... ) it’s enough to make you holler, “Honey, pass the Prozac!” But, alas, all is not lost. One day each week we file like zombies into the nearest church in order for some guy who knows better to tell us that we're forgiven for being such airheaded fuck-ups. And, to top it off, not only are we forgiven by a God who used to be angry enough to make it rain frogs as the plague was passing through town, but we're invited to an swinging party in the sky— like, dude— forever! Now, that’s a bargain! Too bad our fellow non-humanoid species aren’t on the invitation list. Or maybe they are.. let’s be sure to run that by Noah, next time he’s in town. Land ho! OK....

So let me get out of here with a fun death poem by my favorite 14th Century Zen master — Ikkyu: ed Chevron I forget which President referred to our situation as a spiritual crisis.
