Debt, debt, debt; the slave driver of the not rich and stupid.
We put on our chains willingly, because we really do not understand; much of anything!
Raised to be subserviant; educated for docility and servitude.
Too soon old and too late smart…

I really like that painting; Umbrellas by Renoir.
The little girl, bottom right, has a hoop and stick.
Nice detail.

Problem with that painting is there are very bright, lively versions of it, and then some much more ‘subdued’. I picked the bright one.

[V. Arnold]

Good choice; the bright one.
Yes, I’ve noticed that when doing the click search of the paintings, the brightness varies quite a bit.
Of course a photo will never duplicate exactly, the original; one can certainly get close.

There is a reason why that road is less traveled. You can produce and consume locally, not engage in global trade, avoid resource exploitation, and sing kumbaya. But then your kid needs a shot of penicillin. Or blood transfusion. I don’t want to explain to my child that they have to die because singing kumbaya is more important. Sorry. Best of luck on your Road Less Traveled.

The Turkish thing is odd. First from a country running elections on the basis of restoring the Ottoman Empire, claiming Cyprus and all the islands, actively invading Syria and Iraq, and running 200 illegal sorties a day in the Aegean.

So…Austria shouldn’t expel the more militant or expansionary Muslim voices because Islam is a “religion of Peace” and that’s too aggressive. Okay, fine. But then to suggest Turkey will invade or make other trouble if Austria does NOT allow these militant, colonizing voices? I think you just proved Austria’s misgivings, in more than spades, Erdogan! This in a part of the world that well remembers hundreds of years of sieges and devastating incursions, where the former Muslim expansion was stopped at the cost of a million lives.

…Not the stuff of good memories. Erdogan: if you’re going to pretend to be harmless friends and everything’s open and multicultural, keep your trap shut about the aggressive invasions you’re planning/actively doing, okay?
