I’ve had the opportunity these past few months to watch my father and a couple other family members lose weight. My father covertly began an exercise and nutrition regimen while I was still in the polar north known as Logan, Utah. He had lost about 20 pounds when I first found out. It was a shock to the senses to see him look as if he had gone back in time, thinner and more energetic.

How’d he do it? He returned to nature.

There weren’t any miracle drugs nor expensive exercise equipment. He simply began to eat fruits and vegetable in the quantity he should and started to exercise on a regular basis. He rode his bike.

Having watched him go from a short balding man (I can say this because I am also short and balding) to a skinny, energetic balding man made me think. I had tried to point out the benefits of good nutrition and exercise to this man for a few years. Particularly after realizing that I was trying to get my mother-in-law to do things that my own father was not. As a resident in this country, it is obvious how fat we are. I have found that most U.S. citizens take their health for granted and try to blame things outside of their control for their weight. After observing this transition for my father and others around me, I came to the conclusion that nature de-bloats.

My father lost his bloated status by simply eating the way nature had intended. He brought fruits and vegetables back into his diet which pushed out the plethora of shit he was consuming. Nature, being the grateful being she is, quickly returned him to a state that was both more comfortable and conducive to a healthy lifestyle. We ride as often as we can.

I’ve also found that we as ‘Mericans are bloated economically. We have found ways to import everything that we need. Most of which, Nature, in her devine wisdom, saw fit to keep outside of the reach of previous cultures. What this means is that we have become bloated as a nation, we have too much excess. This excess leads to various problems through diverse causal channels. Mass immigration into the U.S. is directly caused by our bloat. To maintain our fat lifestyle we have to import, at inhumane labor rates, goods. The workers on the other end providing the labor never see any fruits from their labors. On the contrary, they are kept in poverty conditions below what Nature would have for her children. Pollution, global warming, war, terrorism and puppies dieing are all direct consequences of our excessive living. We as a nation are bloated beyond help.

If we were to eat our political and economical fruits and vegetables our problems would go away. We would de-bloat and lose the excess that impedes our growth as a society and that will ultimately be our downfall.

This is an amazing documentary that portrays life from the other side of that imaginary line that immorrally devides our continent.

The Fugitive Slave Act, as I understand it, I’m not much of a historian, was enacted to force those north of the Mason-Dixon line to aid in the capture and return of “fugitive” slaves. I use parentheses around fugitive to show a point. The word connotates a criminal, someone running from the law. In our ‘Merican way of thinking, a fugitive is an immoral person for he has broken the moral code of our society. I think most of us now can clearly see the immorality of this act. We now have a similar situation, one so similar that it is disturbing to comprehend how far we haven’t come as a society.

“Illegal” immigrants, they are by definition criminals for they have broken a law by simply being within the imaginary boundary of our country. Again those who oppose humanity and its efforts, have chosen to magnify and solidify the immorallity of immigrants by showing they have broken our ethical code of content. Quite frankly they, just like the slaves, have headed north to find true freedom and economic empowerment. They leave families behind, giving everything they have for one shot at being on the other side of the new Mason-Dixon. This has to be stopped. Not only for those who suffer from the oppression but also for us, the oppressors, to ever have a society worth living in.

The Alliance night ride is tonight, except that it is snowing outside and the entire area is wet. The ride will not take place tonight to avoid damaging our trails.

Peace. Love. and Revolution.
