The Tea Party Crashers: Psychotics Butting In (reposted from politicalcrush.com)

The Tea Party grew from a grassroots group of both Conservatives and
Liberals and others who had gotten tired of having their
Constitutional rights trampled upon. It didn’t rise overnight but was
a slow accumulation of people that gathered information about
government and banking and groups and individuals who didn’t have
America’s best interests at heart.

Whistleblowers on corruption have died to bring the information the
Tea Party has based itself on and unfortunately the Tea Party might
have become the victim of what befalls any group that tries to make
change for the better: psychopaths.

It seems that no matter what group is formed to bring about good, the
psychopaths and sociopaths of society just sneak on in and manipulate
things with uncanny precision. They do their dirty work and when
disaster and misery follow, they slip away in the shadows leaving the
victims and betrayed to point fingers in the wrong direction.

When the Tea Party became more than just a group of so-called
conspiracy theorists because the pointed out the discrepancies of the
Federal Reserve or the IRS and the criminal pursuits of lobbyists for
big business, the party attracted these people of ill will whose only
purpose was to give it a bad name. Soon charges of sexism and racism
were bandied about and when knee-jerk conservatives, people who didn’t
check facts before shooting off their mouths stepped in front of the
movement, the unfair charges started to gain a foothold.

Here, when just a few years ago at that the Tea Party movement was
mocked by the media, scowled at by both Conservatives and Liberals.
Now it’s a movement that has gained respect but is still vulnerable to
the twisted and evil minds that would usurp it and undermine it. Not
because it’s a movement for the Right or the Left, but because
something good, a force for uncovering the sinister deeds of psychotic
people might be in the offering.

Brewster Kahle – TED – Dec. 2007

Some interesting ideas discussed in this talk, which is still worth listening to even if it is 4 years old.  I like the idea of printing on demand, something that has taken off recently.

Damson Plums

On the way home, I crossed this river.

  I went into a field on the other side.  There was a row of old damson plum trees along one of its edges.  Ripe fruit was hanging from them.

  I picked one.

Mushroom Flies?

I walked up the side of the valley near Portlaw this morning.  Spectacular view:

I saw some new bracket fungus growing out of a tree stump by the wall behind me.  A sure sign of autumn.

There were lots of pale-coloured flies around it.  And many more beneath!

Is there some kind of biological association between fly and fungus?
