July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Use the following words as inspiration for your entry: inquiry, curiosity, investigation, suspicion, and clandestine. (You need not use the words in your entry, but if you do, please highlight them in bold or a different color.) {/center}   {b}Inquiry:“Every great man is an idol, an oracle of inquiry. Don't aspire to know the former, but aspire to know the deity in his soul.”― Michael Bassey Johnson (Goodreads)  Curiosity:{i"}We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths". Walt DisneyRead more at https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/walt-disney-quotes  Investigation:"Any doctrine that will not bear investigation is not a fit tenant for the mind of an honest man. Any man who is afraid to have his doctrine investigated is not only a coward but a hypocrite.”― Robert G. Ingersoll, Famous Speeches Complete (Goodreads)  Suspicion:“Friends ask you questions; enemies question you.”― Criss Jami, Healology (https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/suspicion)  Clandestine: “The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings...Our way of life is under attack. Those who make themselves our enemy are advancing around the globe...no war ever posed a greater threat to our security. If you are awaiting a finding of "clear and present danger," then I can only say that the danger has never been more clear and its presence has never been more imminent...For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed.”― President John F. Kennedy tags: 1961, april-27-1961, clandestine, covert, future, government, hide, jfk, john-f-kennedy, opposed, opposition, past, present, president, ruthless, secreat-oaths, secrecy, secret-societies, secret-society-speech, shadow-government, speech, u-s-government, u-s-president, usa (https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/clandestine) James Morcan “Any time a secret group usurps the collective will of the people, it’s wrong. Period.” ― James Morcan, The Orphan Conspiracies: 29 Conspiracy Theories from The Orphan Trilogy tags: clandestine, justice, secret-societies(https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/tag/clandestine) One of the reasons I like to find good quotes is because it shows me that there are people out there, writers and thinkers, who are writing down good thoughts for others to turn over and examine at their leisure. Goodreads and many other places can run search engines through the many writers in life and tell you what they are thinking. What they are writing about, in fiction and nonfiction. There was an article on the web yesterday that expounded about how the use of cell phones was ruining a lake in Mongolia. Environmentally speaking a lot of technology is at fault for pollution. The answer is not to stop technology but find the way to keep the freedom technology brings to us and erase the pollution. Moving On |
