Worried a bit about Ornj…*sending healing, healthy thoughts, and lots of love*

Got to work and much management was cut. We lost Basically everyone who was making money who isn’t related to the company owner.

My job’s still safe, but the company is teetering. He wants to get into web design and advertising… a bad time to shift company gears, even though that means my work slot is that much more secure.

Caught more folks in lies and half-truths today. *hiss hiss*. It’s going to bite them in the backside shortly… I see 4 folks here at the job who’ll probably get the boot, once the truth comes out. Ugly.

Upside, I have to get more blank CD’s. Kev brought in a *ton* of MP3 CD’s of old radio shows… Dragnet, six-shooter, and Suspense. Hours of good 40s and 50s radio goodness. đŸ™‚

Need to cash my paycheck, and a gift check from a client from Christmas!

Got a good MLK vibe today.. not to fond of the weird advertising tie-in stuff on the radio though…

I was discussing some stuff with Ornj, and now I ponder… Is man basically good? A community based creature? Sinister, driven by crude instincts, that only civilization has put a veneer of gentility over?

I feel the average man has the capacity for great good, and great evil… do you think that man leans in one particular direction? I know some wonderful people, devoted and happy to make the world better and some people that are purely driven by a heartless force, greed and cruelty.

How have we gotten so far? Landed on the moon, global communication, pretty decent education… all driven because of competition and warfare. Most of out technological advances are due to warfare… medicine too. Does this make war a necessary thing? Even a good thing? I don’t know… I figure we’d have come across these advances, if a bit more slowly in peacetime.

Humanity is an odd thing… on deeper reflection, it seems that very many folks run on autopilot much of the time. How can a person go for a *DECADE* without having read a book? I suppose it’s easy to wax philosophic when you have the time too… if you’re too busy foraging for food, or making that ‘big sale’… some of the nicer things take a back seat.

If I ever feel work is more important than personal growth (social, emotional, whatever)… somebody give me a good shake, ok?
