The human race is moving faster than I thought
Paul, I think that you are being philosophical here, as I struggle to believe that you can’t feel the following:
1. The human race is moving at various speeds, some forwards and some backwards. 2. This is a bit confusing due to what you call the oppression system. 3. Moving too far too fast is dangerous. The hare loses to the tortoise for good reason. 4. The status quo, with gentle evolution forwards is a very good thing. 5. Except at points in time when darkness is tightening its grip, and then when it realises that it is on the defensive, it reacts badly. 6. Which is why, without the buy in from darkness, external intervention can be optimal, in terms of balance and harmony going forwards. 7. So light the way, encourage and enable forwards, but recognise that too fast can be destructive. (Not that I have ever gone too fast or let my ego take over ) 8. Look at the energy structures, and the light within the darkness, the darkness within the light, and the increasing desperation of some aspects of darkness. It’s fascinating. Come on Paul, if I can do this, you certainly can.

Roberts-Smith was suing the press for defamatory reports.
"Nine had already proved that Roberts–Smith broke the moral and legal rules of military engagement and was a criminal, and that he had disgraced his country by his conduct in Afghanistan …
The judge went even further, finding that because Nine proved that Roberts-Smith was a war criminal and had disgraced his country, Roberts-Smith literally had no reputation left to harm."
Chickens are roaming through a Western Australian school, and tardy kids are suddenly out the front door every darn morning to get to class.
WA Today reports the 50 students at remote mining town Fairbridge's Kalgoorlie campus just weren't coping. It’s a school that helps down-on-their-luck kids get back into learning, but it can be tough: regional children can suffer mental health issues and have little professional support.
Then one of the students had an idea — chicken therapy. Hey, it worked for me, the kid figured, so they brought their chickens Penny and Maggie into the playground. Hmm, teacher Jayde McKenzie said, let’s give it a try it for a few days. School attendance is now at 86% — which is extremely high for at-risk youth, the paper says.
“The kids just fell in love,” McKenzie says, adding she was blown away by “how quickly many re-engaged at school”. The WA Association for Mental Health was so impressed by the results it gave Fairbridge a $900 grant for a coop.
Kids are fine to leave classrooms at any time to work inside the coop (with support staff nearby) or just sit down with the chickens to decompress. Penny and Maggie are very empathetic, McKenzie says, almost like a therapy dog.
Often they will just nest in a kid’s lap “and listen while they talk to them”, with no judgment .... It’s more like issues that a kid might not want to tell an adult, McKenzie says, adding that she encourages Australia’s teachers to think about Fairbridge’s clucky approach.
