Ok, this is merely my interpretation of the bird quote and the info under the flag burning
video
(Vid) (assuming a metaphor, which I cannot yet determine), tell me if you think I'm
right/wrong/both
There's a new bird on my right shoulder. The beak is two feet and lime green. The rarest bird on earth, there's no feathers, but small grey
scales all over the body. It's with one large red eye with a light blue iris. The bird feet are the same as a woodpecker. This new bird and there's
only one, the gender is not female or male. The wings of this bird are beautiful; 3 feet wide with the shape of a bald eagle that you could die
for
This seems to be describing the greatest bird you will ever see. It is beautiful, different, and will never be replaced. I don't know why it has 1
eye and the feet of a woodpecker. This may be a metaphor for true personal liberty and freedom.
If you can see this bird then you will understand.
If you value freedom, liberty and cherishing your own person, this 'bird' makes sense to you. If you like to be part of larger collective groups
where everyone is supposed to be the same, this type of bird would be meaningless to you, or you may despise it for it's greatness and individuality.
You think this bird is able to chat about a government? I want you to imagine a comet or meteoroid coming through the atmosphere.
This great bird wouldn't waste it's life, breath or thought on matters of such insignificance as a small group of people that try to control all
people. However, if it's life is threatened, or there is an astronomical change taking place, this great bird would take notice, and chat about
it.
If you protest the government then there's a new government from protesting. There's not a new government from protesting. Thus, you aren't
protesting the government.On the other hand, welcome yourself to the desert: Maybe your ability to protest is from the brainwash of the current
government structure.
We are failing at changing/improving our government (in terms of freeing ourselves). If we do wish to truly evade the government and live our own
life, we must do it literally by living on the land and not having interaction with them (I'm not even sure there is anywhere in the world where we
could do this).
This is how I see it, and find it true. It could still be a true bird as well though. Let's find that post!
