Naked Summer Truth: Cats, Rats, Bats, & Shorts

(Source)

“The great ‘balance of Universe’ – that never-ending irony of headlines continues to amuse me and point out fresh opportunities to get our thinking straight. Take for example the headline about how a 44-pound cat has been found wandering around New Jersey. The Universe provides the other side of the story in the great cosmic cat & mouse game with a headline from the other coast: ” Palisades Rathouse: Unchallenged by health officials, elderly twins fed local vermin population.”

Meantime, in the central part of the country – Ohio – there are problems with bat populations.

The way I have it figured, as the socioeconomic and literal climates change, we’re bound to have surges in populations of this, or that. It may not get much in the way of mainstream attention, but it’s there if you go looking for it. Headlines like “Weather changes bird species trends” out of the UK, “Group to fight for polar bear’s threatened status” and a whole lot more.

Humans, being conditioned to be ADHD by an amazing array of artificial time pressures both at home and work, might be convinced that the UN deciding to drop suits and go casual is one answer to climate change. But, I’ve come to an important conclusion this morning which is interesting as heck: If humans were to try and fight global warming in a meaningful way, wouldn’t we be setting the thermostats much higher and encouraging people to strip down to wearing shorts and T-shits, or taking it a step further, nothing at all to work?

When the fashion world starts marketing ‘uncovered humans, or nearly naked summer business attire, then I’ll start believing something’s being done about climate change. Going from a suit to a golf shirt is a miniscule change. It’s still the ‘right logo’ trip. But getting naked? Now THAT would save energy, reduce costs of clothing, not to mention encouraging a whole lot of people to get down to a healthy weight.

Think the mainstream would touch this? LOL…not unless there was some way that corpgov could sell ‘naked licenses’ or some other revenue generating scheme. Some things are just obvious when you think about them for a second. We’re all so trapped by our mental constraints, we don’t even see the fences that have been installed to keep the herd in line…

If it continues warm here at the ranch, and triple digit temperatures could be on the way, I’ll likely start wearing just shorts. Care to try that at your office?

Style, as I see it, is not a matter of exercising an ‘economic choice’ to get this logo on your golf flirt or that. It’s about freedom to wear anything from nothing to a full-up winter snow suit, depending on conditions and without spending any ‘head time’ worrying about ‘What will other people think?’

As long as you’re thinking like that, I mean about clothing and status, you’re a victim of the matrix…and that’s the naked truth, close as I can figure.”
