WHAT IS MY CHROME SHOVEL?
it is a web-xhibit
of art.
music.
and creative thought
here at my chrome shovel, we believe
in the value of the creative mind.
creative intelligence is what leads one
toward the road of self-sufficiency.
because the human population has exploded,
dependence on others is becoming a farce.
therefore the best we can do is learn for ourselves and learn to survive.
this means going back to our roots as thinking beings.
retro is in. lets think for ourselves again.
why bicycles?
the bicycle is an amazing invention. it is utilitarian AND fun.
plus, a cyclist is a truly unique individual. a cyclist by default is a
revolutionary person.
the very vehicle which is used to travel from one place to another represents this.
2 wheels revolving. 2 wheels intended for forward motion.
(and of course there is the obvious environmentally friendly factor).
you are a cyclist: you are conscious: you revolve.
why vegetarian?
humans differ from other species of animals because we posess
a sense of morality. when we disregard this, we equate ourselves with all
carnivorous beasts of the wild.
and the laws of the jungle apply: kill or be killed.
there is no room for progress here.
being vegetarian proves yourself capable of discipline.
it proves you respect yourself and other living creatures.
and it proves that you do not conform. therefore you are strong.
this strength is what drives our society forward.
you are vegetarian: you are conscious: you are evolved.
