Dewey's theory in use

Readers I have published a book My Mother's Cooking by PublishAmerica and it is available online and should be available in bookstores. It is a marvelous cookbook about the island where I came from at the age of four , the people, the myth behind the people that activates and motivates their existence and the foods that nourish them. It is a wise investment.

Sharing buying with your kids.

http://www.alibris.com

I have a fun way of sharing Christmas with kids. You simply share your resources and give gifts from the two of us instead of each buying their own. The advantage to the receiver is obvious probably in a gift that will be something a little more expensive and pooled from two heads instead of one. The buyers get a chance to see what makes the other tick and how to compromise, which after all is the whole part of existence.

Who I Love

In the way of the world my daughter was born all pink and rosy, skin softer than down. She was placed in my arms and promptly picked up. They'd forgotten I'd had a caesarean birth. Birth pangs are forgotten or we were told diffused. For me that particular legend is only a myth. I remember the most exquisite angel wrapped in proper bundling. The face round and perfect haloed by dark curly locks. She cradled in my arms and rested snugly on my breast and my nurse gleamed with pride. As I learned how to nurse, we became more than we are when giving life the impetus of life to life drives with exquisite force. My caesarean blossomed, a rose with no obvious thorn, my child of promise, a gift, a companion, a force of her own. Just a part of my world as my hand, my heart, my life’s blood, I’m writing this for her.

Determinism or Naturalism?

http://zaldiva.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=justice Naturalism has been criticized as making man a victim of his heridity and his environment. Determinism as i read into it overcomes that criticism of naturalism while keeping to the basic tenet of naturalism which is teaching youth to confront the realit of their heredity and deal with it in context of their environment. A quack politician scammed an entire nation into believing that because he was working in some quack secret agency and they had forced a woman to be deprived of her sanity not to mention her property that he could use the same illegal amoral and absolutely not workable premise to cause mass mass hallucinations in the black ghettos of America. He told American s to go around saying you were rich now we took that from you and we're rich. Your white now we took that from you and wer're white. And of course the most putrid crap was aimed at blacks struggling to make end meet and dealing with a culture culture that deems whiteness an excuse for ghost shaking exemption from prosecution only when the White in question permits herself to be ritually raped as the Great White Hope.
Trust me determinism is a viable avenue of learning to deal with psychotic thieving politicians and bought off federal agents. You must first accept your heredity. Then you must look at your environment and handle it. Bye from Dewey

National Abuse Awareness Day

To approach this most difficult obstacle to ethical, moral, and human evolution as an abused survivor is not appropriate for the task at hand. As Dewey, I can do it> The practical aspects of abuse is that it works for the abuser. Think about that. Then go into your kitchen and pretend that you are Emeril a great and renowned chef and fix yourself a cucumber salad. You will need two cucumbers, minced garlic, and tiny chunks of fontinella cheese. First rinse the cucumbers, peel with a knife not a potato peeler and slice diagonally in thin slices. Arrange in platter. Take three garlic pieces and hit them carefully with the hilt part of your knife, take the garlic and mince it with your knife, carefull of your fingers(you can get the garlic smell of your fingers by rubbing them with parsley after you have thoroughly washed them with soap and water). Sprinkle the minced garlic over your cucumber slices. Dice in tiny chunks your fontinella and toss on top of your cucumbers. Mix a half cup of yogurt with two tablespoons white wine, pour over your salad. Find the hardest most expensive salami you can get and cut in tinier pieces than the cheese. Arrange on top. Put a sprig of parsley on your guests plate, if you have a guest. Serve with white wine. What were we talking about the societal implications of abuse and learned responses dictated by environmental imitate what you see responses.
When I was in the seventh grade a teacher of ours asked that we dress in costume to school for Halloween Before he walked into the class he shouted, Don't sit in your regular seats. We scrambled. When he walked into the room not a peep was heard. EXCEPT FROM ME. ah i didnt change seats.
His look at me could have wilted trees. "If you had kept your mouth shut, nobody would have known."
\It has been more than forty years since that captured moment in time and I have not forgotten. The first dictate imprinted on us by our secret abusing society is to keep your mouth shut. If you open your mouth, your abuser wins because you told. If you don't open your mouth, your abuser wins because you must have wanted the abuse or you would have told.

I didn't want to keep my mouth shut, Mr. Teacher, because I was flip about your class and flip about a community that was siding with an abuser who had been told on by me.

Now let us go back to our cucumber salad and add a perfectly grilled salmon drenched in lemon juice and shall we say, enjoy.

Integrating Desires with Acceptable Social Boundaries

We grow up not one step at a time but one leap at a time. Growth physical growth can be measured by the yardstick, but emotional and its necessary intellectual growth occur in bold leaps. Were you aware of the moment when you conceived of the utterly preposterous notion that other people had feelings as deep and important to them as yours are to you? You may take a few weeks to delve into that suggestion and in the meantime, you should take charge of your kitchen. My mother's favorite showing her kitchen who was the boss was to clean out the refrigerator. Every item was removed. All the shelves and doors were rinsed and wiped dry and finally all food items that could be put back in were.
