Human Struggle for dominance

Its football Sunday again, and the Minnesota Vikings played the Seattle Seahawks in the scheduled match. I have family living in the Seattle area that are fans of the Seahawks. It was not their finest hour. I was very reluctant to be a Farve backer when he came to the Vikings, but now that we are second in the NFC at 9-1, I feel that it is possible that we can make it to the big show. We have some big games still left to play, so it is not yet wrapped up.

Two other games that come as a complete surprise to all are: Kansas City Chiefs (3-7) beats Pittsburgh Steelers (6-4) by a score of 27-24 in overtime; and Oakland Raiders (3-7) defeats Cincinnati Bengals (7-3) with a score in regulation of 20-17. The Little guy can defeat the big guy. This story is is very old, and it continues to this very day.

I bring this all up in comparison to a show I just caught on public TV about fire walkers from Fiji. They were walking on stones that had been heated to a temperature of 1200 degrees. This is still being done today. The challenge of overcoming the elements and one's self has been an integral part of the culture of mankind. We like to think of ourselves as men and women of peace. The letting go self and becoming apart of larger part is only a piece of this puzzle. The mind is very powerful tool if used correctly.

The music for today is back to the Grateful Dead. This hard drive file did not get sorted, so everthing is kinda disjointed.
