No problem. It doesn't hurt anyone for me to have dreams in my little cave. If you are to abandon all reason for the sake of loyalties to a group, if you will limit justice to further devotion of symbolic dogma, if you intend to discard conscience and compromise purpose or principle to claim your places on this Earth among fellows, let my place be a cave and let my fellows be those who join me in my separation from the likes of you all. AMEN Have Peace, Gem

"If we the USA want to protect and perpetuate our Standard of Living, and our Way of Life for our children and our grandchildren...then I think we have to go out in the world and do whatever is necessary to accomplish that end..." That does not sound very moral....in fact it sounds like the justification of theft and murder to support our life styles.

Dream Cave ============================ Australia's 'Bondi caveman' to keep his millionaire view SYDNEY (AFP) - A homeless hermit who enjoys a million-dollar view from his camp perched on the cliffs overlooking Sydney's Bondi Beach was granted a reprieve Tuesday when the local council dropped plans to evict him. Jhiymy Mhiyles, dubbed the "Bondi caveman" by local media, has been living on the cliffs near Australia's most famous strip of sand for seven years, feeding seagulls, reciting poetry but mostly keeping himself to himself. However, Waverley Council began eviction proceedings earlier this year after complaints from residents in the exclusive suburb, where houses can sell for more than 10 million US dollars. The move sparked a campaign to let Mhiyles stay in his oceanfront hideaway, including an online petition that attracted hundreds of signatures. The council said Tuesday that it had decided Mhiyles could stay, provided he abide by a set of "house rules" including no open fires, keeping his area tidy and managing waste in a hygienic manner. "Waverley Council has decided not to evict Jhiymy Mhiyles at this stage from the cliffs at Marks Park, Bondi," the council said in a statement. The online petition was full of messages of support for Mhiyles, who calls himself Jimmy "two hats". "Good on you Jimmy, too many bloody rules and rule makers," wrote a petitioner called Brendan Brady, while another named Scott said "I have to support you, mystical caveman! You're living my dream-life in my dream-house."
