There is a way....

One of he first great anti British revolutionary and patriot for the liberation of India before Gandhi , was Sri Aurobindo Ghose...

The British jailed him like many Indians....

In his captivity he decided that he must liberate the world and not only India.... He then pacifically spend the rest of his life meditating, writing the biggest metaphysical spiritual poem in all english litterature,Savitri, and become one of the truest spiritual man of his century...

He never was impeded by hindsight....He recreated yoga.... And spoke truly in advance of all we actually sees around us....


«Seing is not hindsight nor foresight, it is touching the center or putting a veil on our head, calling it red or blue dont change the fact that it is a veil»- Anonymus Smith


«You remind me of my wife asking why i dont like the green bow tie and not the red one she give me at the same time the day before...I dont like bow tie anyway»- Groucho Marx


When I was in 6th grade we had a school orchestra (7th through 12th, too). Learning to play a musical instrument was considered part of a well-rounded education. When Ronald Reagan was elected Governor of California (proving the state was not totally inhabited by far-left radical Socialists), he defunded many of the non-3R's (readin', ritin', 'rithmatic) school programs. This coming from a Hollywood "B" actor, one who enjoyed the fruits of the arts, or in his case more accurately the entertainment business.

Public schools are just for producing good little worker bees, right Ronnie?

Seriously? North America has cornered the market on abysmal ignorance? Where do you suppose the wisdom resides? Europe? That’s laughable. Certainly not modern Europe and maybe least of all modern France. Both of which exist in their current state simply and precisely because the U.S. permits them to do so. If it is important to understand history one of the first things to understand about modern history is that the U.S. is the single determining factor that keeps Europeans away from each other's throats.


And don't get me wrong, I'm not an apologist for modern culture, American or otherwise. Far from it. Nor am I a cheerleader for U.S. policy. I'm just looking at the last 100 years of Western history. Nothing worse than Western European smugness after WWI, the Russian revolution, WWII and the Balkans.

@bdp24 That was over 40 years ago when Ronald Raygun was Gov.

You have had plenty of Liberal Governors to restore the art’s in that time.

Just making more welfare bees right Jerry Brown x2
