December 30: Clay County Fair RV Park

We spent the day running around Flemming Island, talking on the radio, lounging around and listening to barking dogs.  After several abortive trips we finally found just the right eye lags for the TV mount.  Now I think it is secure so we do not have to demount it when starting a move.  We will see on the next move.

We are now using the route 315 to 17 to Flemming Island and it takes 15 minutes less by avoiding Green Cove Springs stop lights.  I stopped in GCS at the library where they have us on file. The new library card was $1 so it was a bargain.  The first audio book I checked out was “Killing of Lincoln”.  It is sort of a recap of the last days of the Confederacy and how Grant/Lincoln allowed very generous surrender terms by not even taking Lee’s sword and telling confederacy  troops to just go home.  We shall see if the utopian surrender of Lincoln was justified.  Now comes 8 more cd’s of 8 hours length within a known outcome.

All this reminds me of the aggressive conservative nature of homo sapiens.  I have the view that higher thinking man does not have a conservative nature but an experimental, exploitative posture of positive disposition.  the conservative mans is basically afraid of everything and wants to cautions us to control too much experimental nature.

Nobility was an effort to subvert the masses by knowledge intimidation.  When education creeped upon the scene,  nobility no longer had a monopoly over knowledge. Yet, we revere the institution and this even more proves my point.  It all boils down to knowledge.  Those without it hate those that have it.  The knowledge balance of power has shifted so now Facebook and Twitter allow those with no knowledge but disagreeable disposition to shout down the more positive moderate elements of human nature. We are poorer for the experience of most internet media.
