It has occurred to me to not let my self-importance get hooked. My concern , however , is that I have been shown someone who believes gross misinformation
in current affairs , and probably acts from that place. This is so typical , although not limited to ( I cite the Aztecs) , Christianity , over its history.
I am a partisan of certain Native American viewpoints , which the Christians who came to this land have still not completely rubbed out. More work to do ,
more mobs to enrage with lies.
I heard some Beethoven and other today. It occurs to me that this great music would not have existed without all the misery Western civilization has created.
Then again , if I were to shift to the world of the Lakota , I would not miss what I do not know. Or better yet , I can shed those things I do not need.
As to using 'He' for God , don Juan said that words have power. I do try to use mine carefully. That's why I find it difficult to use the word
'God' and in fact wish I could use it more freely. But , in my opinion that would just add to the misinformation , so I avoid where possible. That
goes double for the word 'Indian' . Semantics , again.
If I 'lightened up' , some couldn't handle it.
Elections have power , too. And consequences. How's business these days?
