I ate at the Bajios in Orem on Saturday. $10 for beans and rice with a small offering of chicken in the smothered burrito. No beuno.
I use to love the place, but it's losing it's vibe, and I can make the same meal at home now, so what's the point?

Answer to equality
The neo-tribalism stems from the creation of the universal egoism, which Hegel describes as the result of the loss of traditional communal bonds within a society due to capitalism. Capitalism creates self-regarding atoms, who see other people as an instrument to gain more wealth. The traditional bonds of community are broken. In it's place, neo-tribalism, along with cults, are created to shore up for the loss of the communal ties.
Then, racism, which is a way to create community over shared archaic roots, starts to take hold in the consciousness of men. Neo-tribalism is born:
This core philosophy of shared racial culture was at the heart of the National Socialism ideology, which tried to restore civic altruism after the loss of it due to the rise of capitalism.
It was a call to a primal unity of origin and kinship.
This neo-tribalism can also be a counter-thought to the liberal ideology of equality. We are not equal. We are not all the same. We have different histories and different cultures. So what are we equal in again? Where is it that equality exists in nature? I don't see it. All I see are likeness with likeness. Birds of a feather flock together.
This really gets interesting when you consider that biologically speaking, there's no such thing as race. We're genetically identical. We are all Africans, which is the origin of our genetic heritage. East Africa.

"Only those who share our roots can hunt with our pack. All the rest are prey, first the stranger within our midst and later on the others, for the world is neither big enough nor rich enough for all of us."

Do Prayers Matter?
When you get on your knees and let the breath pass from your lungs, how exactly does that impact the physical world?
My new blog
I'm so, so happy. I'd like to bear my blogomony. I know this blog is true. It's not a riddle. It is possible to know something. And by know, I mean 'feel'. I feel this is true. And by true, it is what I say it is. It's a blog. It's a blog about truth.
The truest truth of trumanity.
