The Poet: Wendell Berry,“The Peace of Wild Things”
CoyotePrime, Running 'Cause I Can't Fly 2 - 11 hours ago
*“The Peace of Wild Things”*
“When despair grows in me
and I wake in the middle of the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.”
- Wendell Berry

As Farmers Expand Their Agitation, Indian Government Intensifies Repression
Terrace, PopularResistance.Org - 14 hours ago
Pushed on the back foot by the popular support for the farmers’ agitation
against its pro-agribusiness farm laws, India’s right-wing Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) government is systematically intensifying state repression
against protesters and their supporters.
Since late November, tens of thousands of protesting farmers, principally
from the nearby states of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, have been
encamped on the outskirts of the Delhi National Capital Territory. Their
Delhi Chalo (Let’s go to Delhi) protest, which is demanding the repeal of
all three recently-enacted farm l...

8 of its 9 lives and has done so recklessly. When we speak of the demise of

Keeping Democracy Alive
Owen Gray, Northern Reflections - 14 hours ago
The current chaos in the Republican Party provides a teachable moment for
all democracies. Robin Sears writes:
No sustainable democracy is possible with one dominant party and one
crippled or divided opponent. That is the prospect facing American
democracy after five years of Trump devastation. It is a perilous moment.
The GOP faces a fork in the road: do they pursue a Trumpian strategy in the
2022 mid-terms, or do they risk Trump’s wrath and his threat to create a
new political party by openly rejecting him? One choice is unpleasant, the
other is unacceptable. There are no other...

The Unexpected Consequence of Digital Technologies
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 14 hours ago
Mankind has been reset in a major way in the last three decades. The
central role in this resetting has been played not by any moral, religious,
or political movement, not by a revolutionary ideology, and not by any
world war, but by digital technologies which are privately owned. Internet
based search, social media, and free email services have the ability to
transform our way of life—when our way of life changes, our political and
moral opinions too must change. In the early days of the digital
revolution, it seemed that the internet based services would fuel a new
wave of liberty...

It may have an opportunity, as South Korea will soon by flying the F-35A.
*Key point: *It's more survivable than current aircraft on the Korean
Peninsula.
The ROKAF, South Korea’s Air Force received their first F-35A fighter jets
in April 2019. The ROKAF hopes to eventually buy forty F-35As and should

But how do these aircraft fit into the ROKAF’s existing fleet of aircraft?
What role could they play in countering the North Korean KPAF?

Sunday morning music
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 15 hours ago
While chatting with a younger reader over the past week, I discovered to my
horror that she'd never heard of Tom Lehrer. This is, of course, entirely
un-American of her, and inconceivable to any child of the Cold War era. To
remedy that, I promised her I'd put up a selection of Mr. Lehrer's comedy
songs this weekend. This is a concert recorded in 1959.
Evergreen musical humor!
