1,100-year-old Mayan ruins found in North Georgia.

Archaeologists have discovered the ruins of an ancient Mayan city in the mountains of North Georgia believed to be at least 1,100 years old. According to Richard Thornton at Examiner.com, the ruins are reportedly what remains of a city built by Mayans fleeing wars, volcanic eruptions, droughts and famine.

"...men are not so far from the truth as they generally believe. Their greatest error is in searching for it where it is not, and in attaching it to forms; whereas, they ought, on the contrary, to avoid form in order to dwell upon the essence." Fabre D'Olivet

Rather than STOP and say, 'Woops! I'm headed in the wrong direction,’ we tend to place a premium on projecting a consistent image of ourselves and try to rationalize our initial decision despite increasing evidence suggesting we ought to do the contrary. B M Staw

In what I have been doing all these years, the base premise is to take today, everything, and roll it back upon itself, every topic including mine, every idea, roll it back - century after century, millennium after millenium, each to it's starting point until you are left with the single topic that has stood the test of time. At that point - you begin to unroll it and see where the problem pops up. Everything was fine until 5300 years ago ... at which time someone flushed the toilet of life and humanity took a dive.

I just got a notice for this and 6 other posts as usual ... Clonus, what's the story - I can't figure it out.

Am listening to an online radio report about the latest webbot report. Store food, dont put anything in a bank safety deposit box (or if you have stuff there get it out whilst you still can). Early March is the time. Will say more more when I've finished. Very interesting data.
