The Wisdom Of The River
By Harald Anderson, Sat Dec 10th
Over the past few years I have watched the popularity ofwhitewater rafting grip the vacation market. "Strange", Ithought. "Why would floating down a river become such a hotlycontested vacation destination?" Today, I understand thisphenomena completely. There is a wisdom and lesson that only theriver can teach. It is a lesson that I intend to learn as oftenas possible. Whitewater rafting has become one of America's favoriterecreational activities for many reasons. There are severaltheories on this but I think the majority of them miss the mark.The fans argue that what makes the whitewater experience socompelling, so satisfying, and so incredibly exhilarating isthat it is REAL! This primal adventure is beyond comparison."This ain't your daddy's video game adventure!" Although I consider this to be partially true. I believe thatthe reason that whitewater rafting has become so popular isbecause it teaches everyone who travels the river the mostimportant spiritual lesson we could ever learn. All studentsunderstand the lesson while they are on the river but oftenforget it when they return to civilization.
On the river, all you have is the "now." That is the ultimatehigh and profound lesson that the river teaches. The past andthe future are of no value when you are amidst the challenge ofnavigating the whitewater rapids. What happened upstream or whatmight happen downstream are of no consequence while you becomecompletely absorbed in the joy of the present. NOW. It is all that there is. The river
August 13, 2004 "Honk if You Love Dogs!"
August 13, 2004 "Honk if You Love Dogs!", read the sticker on the old van's back bumper. Joyfully, a yellow Labrador Retriever lapped the breeze through the half cracked window on the passenger's side. He was so happy to be alive and riding with his person that you could feel his joy. Caught up in emotion, I chuckled and patted my own dog (Prudence) as the old van overtook us and rambled on down the highway.
As it passed, I thumped my horn a couple of times. Chiming in, other vehicles beeped their opinion as the Econonline chugged on by. Good old America. "Land of the Free" A land of dog lovers. That's why so many American citizens are involved in Animal Rights groups. Correct? If you are one of the many that believe this statement to be true, you are sadly mistaken.
Animal rights organizations are just the opposite of groups that truly love animals. These organizations do not love dogs nor do they love people. If you find this shocking, you are not alone. True enough, many members on the lower echelons of animal rights groups really do love animals but they are being used and deceived by a much more menacing group who has human enslavement as their final goal. Motivated by sensationalistic imagery and encouraged by shallow movie stars who don't take the time to look deeply into issues before opening their mouths, the foot soldiers of the animal rights army donate hard earned cash as well as their time to promote a future America where animals are no longer "enslaved" by the Human bonds of love. These unenlightened, well meaning members are simply cogs in the wheel of a very big machine designed to CONTROL HUMAN RIGHTS.
Currently these so called Animal Rights groups are trying to take away our Human Right to pet ownership but someday, if they are successful in taking away our beloved pets, the animal rights groups will morph into something even more vile, such as removing our Human Right to own private property such as a home or a farm. From there, it's an easy step to taking away our right to private bank accounts and once they've taken our money and put it into a national account "for the greater good", it's a very slippery slope to total enslavement by a group known as the Communist Party.
If this sounds like science fiction to you, then you weren't paying attention in history class. You need only to look as far back as Castro's Cuba, Nazi Germany, the atrocities of Communist China or the Russian Revolution to see how Fascism takes hold and crushes the spirit of the populous through fear and indignation. The idea of protecting cute fuzzy animals is the perfect Trojan Horse for gaining the populous' trust. Be careful who you support with your time and money. The rights you remove may be your own.
Do you really want to live in a society that condemns pet ownership? Think about this. If everyone in the United States of America stopped breeding dogs - where would we find a dog after the current generation died out? If we were to follow zero population growth for dogs, meaning everyone spayed and neutered their dogs, within less than twenty years, dogs would be extinct in America. Yes, you read that right. Dogs would be extinct just like the Dinosaurs. Not so surprisingly, our beloved Heinz 57s would be the first to go since American mutts are nothing more than happy accidents between different breeds of purebred dogs.
If the animal rights groups have their way, in the future, neither you nor I will be allowed to own a dog. But the elite will still have their dogs. Just like in the days of Prohibition, movie stars, rich politicians and other members of the elite classes will still be buying the things they want on the black market. Under the ruling party of the animal rights fascists, dogs will be hugely expensive and a privilege for the very few. The middle class will be enslaved and dogless. If this isn't your vision of our American heritage than share this story, learn all you can and speak out against the animal rights movement. Keep America free.... Honk if you love dogs!

More later, Prudence needs her beauty rest. Next rant...solutions.
drives this message homewith tremendous clarity and excitement. Stop and think of how different life would be for you if youcould apply this simple wisdom to your life. I often sitincredulously when I realize how I have let past upsets disruptmy peace of mind. That can't happen on the river! On the river the distinctions of past, present and future becomeamazingly clear. Very simply you recognize that the wake that isleft behind does not navigate the raft. Likewise the future isuninteresting when compared to the exhiliaration of beingtotally 100% in the here and "now." The metaphor is quite profound. Over the years I have watched tourists navigate the rapids andit never ceases to amaze me! When you watch a group ofvacationers all get "the NOW" message together the exhiliarationis beyond comparison as they leave the past behind and partakein the challenge of the moment. The excitement and enthusiasm iscontagious and a wonder to behold. Likewise, I often wonder how these vacationers return to theirlives and if they remember the message they learned on theriver? NOW. Every time I feel the need to make excuses I remember thelessons that I have learned on the river. NOW. Guess where I am headed for my next vacation? All aboard! NOW. Be careful what you agree with.
