Naked People

Amongst the odd, weird, strange and elusive communities our beautiful rock we call earth hosts, I think naked people stand out the most. they are after all, naked. they are by far at this in my life the most interesting community. Nudist colonies are something I know pretty much nothing about. Other than the fact that their naked and they live together. What are their customs? What is acceptable? How do they deal with sexuality? When happens if someone is arroused? Do they share a religion? What kind of people decide one day that they want to be naked? hahahaha. ok. umm. Aside from that I think it would be interesting to explore the lives of the homeless. There system of bartering, bumfights, drugs, respect, food,shelter, clothes acts of kindness they recieve or unkindness ect... I'd also like to explore the cigar community. The people that make them, how to choose which tobacco plants to mix, the cigar cultures lingo, who buys them, who lobbies for them in washington, what climate tobacco grows best in, health effects, people affected by them how much we make in tariffs because of them. We could also discuss the counterculture community, people that expose what the mainstream media doesn't show. I would be willing to do this, but I'm hesitant because I know how scary this topic would be. Did you know that legally fox news can knowlingly lie? Did you know you can pantent a seed? Did you know you can patent a gene? What is interesting about that is that nobody voted on weather you can patent life. That is a decision that one court made for a coporation and now all things that follow will refer to that ruling. Life is evolving, in all living things, that means that whatever that living thing evolves into you have the patent on as well. And isnt owning a living thing like slavery? Owning the patent to genes! Those are the fundamental building blocks of human life, what happens when somone gets gene therapy or has a gene transplant and they replace your genes with ones a company made then what? Can they charge you anything they want? Do they make it so that the gene only activates if you take a special shot? Have you read up about september 11th or about fluoride in our water? What about the steriods and antibiotics in our food? What about genetically engineered plants and foods? The problem with this topic is that its hard to decide what information is exaggerated, or biased. The cold hard facts are hard to come by and alot of the information out there is scary. Its hard to know who to trust when your knee deep in information that tells you everything is a lie. Have you seen blood diamond? Farenheight 9/11? Lord of war? The future of food? Zeitgeist? (these are movies) Honestly how can you participate in society if you accept what the alternative news is showing you? Anyways. If your interested in this go to sprword.com and the future of food can be checked out at the library and zeitgeist can be watched online for free.

I am not saying any of the above is true or not true. I am merely saying that these things exist in the counterculture. Please don't come to class ready to fight with me about any of this. If you do, I will dump chocolate pudding on your head and quietly exit the room. Outside of the room there will be a broom which I will use to fend you off in case you follow me. Then I will skateboard to get some lunch at the union and laugh to myself about the pudding all over you. After calling my brother to tell him what happend, I will go to chinese class.
