Everyone can see it…

America. A self- appointed, over-grown, lubricated facilitator. A thing that can easily be removed. Like the itchy tags on the team uniforms that are not made in America.

how pitiful is it that the USA Olympic Team uniforms are made in China–seriously????? this is so wrong!!!!!

    • Lisa Wells Martz SO very wrong!!!! What can we American’s not make our own uniforms???? Are we incompetent or are we just charging ourselves too much?? Stupid.

    • Malcolm Andrew Whale the same in the uk michelle ,,we are hosting the games and yet the british kit is being made in low economies in the east,,,,,its caused uproar over here,,x

    • Michelle L Magario It is a very sad state when our own country is not given the opportunity to cloth our own athletes. There is simply no excuse for outsourcing something like this. It is just unforgivable!!!! Sorry to hear you guys are dealing with the same embarrassment. It should not be this way!!!

    • Malcolm Andrew Whale michelle its a western world crisis to me,,we are sending all our manufactuing production abroad thus resulting in job losses and major unemployment,,,then the very companies who are transferring our national skills abroad then wonder why people have stopped purchasing throught the retail outlets,,ummm when people have no jobs as they are all in china poland and india its pretty straight forward really.

    • Darlene Shooski Donofrio pretty straight forward Malcolm and really what is wrong with this world..and all of our economies…

    • Malcolm Andrew Whale i work in the aerospace industry darlene and all our maching processes are being shifted to china and india,,,we have offices full of computers and shirted guys,,yet the machines and the skilled workforce is shrinking,,,,skills lost forever,,,

All kinds of ‘poisons’ coursed through my body when I stepped on a rusted nail not so long ago this month.

They say you can’t feel those things, but my experiences in a human body have shown me contrary. When I was administered an immunization shot in grade school, I had to sit for the rest of the day distracted by the throb of toxins and the production anti-bodies. Maybe it was my over-active imagination making a big deal of such microscopic things, but then, remember, people have died on account of such little things and I am sure they did not imagine themselves to death. I was not over dramatic enough to think that I, myself, was dying, but the sovereign state of my being was compromised by tiny barbarians and how is a person supposed to carry on like nothing is different?
I am grateful to have the learning experience of fighting and defeating such formidable enemies, but a human being cannot be  shot through with new kinds of information and take the processing of it so lightly. The body and the brain are very connected, but they each have their own speed and ways of doing things. All kinds of team work and negotiations and compromising go on the in universe of the human machine.

For me, and my level of awareness (as that level dips and rises) nothing about being a human is simple. Right down to the replication of DNA!
Hum… 
Can we ever attain Self Awareness when the Self is billions of individuals? Can we be aware of all within? No. Not really.
This is why I think humans are jokes. Miracles, sure. But jackass comedy all the same.
And I hate the way human-centric sci-fi (Star Trek anyone?) drivels on and on about the potential of mankind and how we have to survive because of all the good we are capable of doing, of how amazing we are… ha! Amazing clowns. We do everything ass- backwards. All the reports I hear in the news are of how we go about everything without logic.. even without emotion.. we just go like brutes. Even animals have more sense. Yet we are sentient and special. If that were so.. oh if that we so… I wouldn’t want to kill half the people in Brooklyn.
