1. Are you cold? Come to the low country of Arizona.
2. Are you hot? Drive to the cool mountains.
3. Noise bother you? Go park in the quiet desert.
4. People bug you? Park alone on BLM land. (it's free)
5. Traffic upset you? Park and wait till it's gone.
6. Lonely? Come park with me/us--your kind. (there are millions of us)
7. Confused? Talk with smart friends. Read good books.
8. Hungry? Cook and eat well for $2 a day.
9. Thirsty? (water is the only fit drink for a person---Thoreau)
10. Sick? Unstress yourself---you'll heal yourself--or you won't.
11. Empty? (of meaning) Do nothing--nothing--nothing---creativity will burst from nothingness.
12. Afraid? Embrace the mystery of life. (abandon religious bullshit)
13. Dying? Then Die with some courage--die frugally--not burdening the world with expensive care---better yet---take yourself off the planet if your time has come.
Oh fellow citizens---you can register yourself for foot-voting by getting comfortably mobile with a small income stream---dispensing with your unnecessary possessions.
Come feel the joys of elusiveness---Government can hardly get a grip on you---does not know where you are---hardly bothers to tax you.
We happy, elfin-like people who dance lightly across the landscape will welcome you, share our wisdom and elicit the best of you from you.
This seems like a good summary of the philosophy of Kodgerism, but only #13 seems political enough for Election Day. All points have political consequences, though.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good start. Needs to be fleshed out in order for me to endorse the Kodger ticket and thus bring on a late surge at the polls.
Well said Randy!
ReplyDeleteYou have my approval :)
ReplyDeleteStanding and clapping.
ReplyDeleteI support your platform, including #13.
You got my vote. I agree with all of them (particularly #13 -- I really don't know why anyone would want to live miserably).
ReplyDeleteGreat post Randy!
This has got to be your best post yet!
ReplyDeleteAdd something about voting in a ballot box being the same as attacking your neighbor directly, only less honest and it could not be improved.. :)
Though we differ on some points, I would like to extend an olive branch and say that on living life I believe we agree more often than not. Thanks for sharing your journey for those of us on a different journey..
That is a great list Randy, thanks for the encouragement!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree-we have to be the change we want to see in the world.
