It was New Zealand white clover. Pretty thick seeds, seems to me now that I should've done it. it hasn't rained yet. We shall see. Yeah ill give them a rake if I can. It's a little dicey cause I just chiseled before putting them down. don't want to mess-up my contour lines.

I put down broadcast clover seeds that were really thick shells, I didn't scarify them. It's been a week and I don't see any germination. Now it could just be that they need more time, but I think i made a mistake putting down such thick seeds with no scarification. Might try spraying some boiling water. Anyone got any ideas as to how i can best handle this problem?

the fair share part has language like what large corporations say when they are bribing their Senators into allowing them to pollute and not pay taxes.



I think the language represents a universal truth that isn't always easy to accept. But it will never lead you to make a victim of yourself when you should be empowering yourself. We have serious problems, and when you look at issues like bribery and its consequences, it's not about what opportunists do, but much like what we say about the opportunistic weeds in our gardens, it's the gaps in a tight system we allow, that attract those creatures. We are not victims in an abstract sense. We give influence to people who aren't trustworthy. We create the system. So, it's all on us to get it right. If you design a system that fails to regulate, are the consequences of that failure natures fault or are they the designers fault?

It's like the classic fictional trope in Dante's Inferno, you are trapped in a place where everyone is suffering brutally, and all the energy tells you to run like hell for the exit...but that is the road to death and eternal misery. The only road to salvation is to press through the flames, in to the darkest depths where fire is frozen, and climb up the back of Satan himself to reach the Paradise. Can't run from this, slap a band-aid on the democracy, try to move forward half-cocked. Need full cock. I'd like to end on a more intellectual note (or at least I'm gonna act like I want to...yes I wrote a parenthetical of my inner monologue. and it's not too late to say i'd love to "flesh out" the idea more as a non sequitur. So worth editing five times) but I've seen people getting threads locked if this kind of stuff gets talked about. Don't really want that to happen.
