Commentaries
Ad 1. At least not several times a day or several days a week. See also http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegetarianvegan101/f/waterpollution.htm and http://vegetarian.about.com/od/vegetarianvegan101/f/forestclearcut.htm about the impact of eating meat on water and, the well-known and well-displaced information on the impact on the rain forest. Have a look into the eyes of that pig. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=89713037 . Don’t worry, I am not a militant vegetarian. I am not a vegetarian at all. I like meat. It’s yummie. The smell of chicken wings…ohhhhh….wonderful... difficult to resist. However, considering how much resources it costs to produce the meat we eat, it doesn’t strike me as a bad idea to eat less meat. Apart from the fact that it’s not healthy to eat so much meat anyway. I mean, you survive – but how…euh… boring, innit? read on, just becomes bettah...

Ad 2. If you buy local you can be more or less sure that the products did not waste lots of energy and fuel to get to you. If you are living in a city, just eat mice, cockroaches or create a garden in your office. Or move to the countryside. If you like the city, tell others that it’s much nicer in the countryside. Then the countryside temporarily will be crowded with lots of interesting people and other nerds. Then quickly move back to the city. Then you will have lots of space growing your tomatoes and hunting city-wildlife like pigeons and rats.

Ad 3. And 4. If you happen to be a farmer: plant for yourself and your friends and people you like. I mean, c'mon, you've got land! Plant a forest and start hunting if you like (well, after about 30 yrs). What’s all the fuss about surplus and stuff? Why make more than you need and then put thousands of chicks into the gaschambers every day? Or how do you kill surplus life stock each day? Oh - it wasn't life-stock, it was already dead, yes...that's about meat anyway, innit...Aye, just produce less and enjoy your life anyway, goddammit. Ad 3.a. do you really think you CAN plan!? That's so cute…

Ad 5. Just don’t make money at all. Yeah. Sure, it’s not possible. I mean, money makes us…how can I write such a stupid thing…don’t make money…Tsss, I must be really confused…I mean, money is such a BLESSING. Money makes you happy, of course. I mean, you can buy everything with money: especially freedom and security. Well, the equivalent then: cars and a psychotherapist. But it’s great, money, I mean. Our ancestors, those without a history, those dudes who just jumped around in the forest without writing, these idiots, and, even more stupid, without creating surplus, they did not need money because they were STUPID, of course. No, sorry. They were just not rightly developed. Underdeveloped. That’s why they had no noteworthy economic system. Aye, not noteworthy because they did not take notes, I mean. And, ha! Who are we that we would like to live like that!? No money, no food to buy! Yiiecks! ‘cause all the food would just be available free, since it’s just growing next to us. No food behind lock and key!? What a WEIRD idea! I must be completely out of my mind! It’s impossible…I mean those underdeveloped folks did it for hundreds and thousands of years. But we are the better humans, of course. Developed. Do you know from which standpoint we are developed, actually? Sorry, lost my thread…hmm...must be dishwashing machines. I mean, they didn’t have dishwashers, innit? So we are developed and they weren’t.
Anyways.
If you are completely happy with your life, if you think there is nothing missing (except of money), if you are content with the amount of freedom you have (if you even belong to those people who think that they are free, you are REALLY cute, ey….), if you feel secure (yeah, there is a well-paid police and the good-willing state, they take care…), then you are fine, of course. Innit?

Ad 6. The best rule of all… ad 6.a. if you can’t rule, then just don’t do it! If you can’t be a boss, if you can’t take care of people, if you can’t manage…hands off! D’u know when you know that you can’t do all this stuff?
When you think that others are stupid. When you think that others don’t function. When you think that the whole load of responsibility is on your shoulders. When you get sick. When others next to you get sick. When your “underlings” prefer to be sick than working with you. When you are in stress because of all the work others don’t do (you think and say). Poor man. When you create stress. Worst of all: when you say things like 'stress is good'! That with stress things are happening faster. If you have NO doubts that you are really good – HANDS OFF from being a boss, manager, ruler, because then you are a great danger for your surrounding. If you think that self-reflection is for other people or something between you and your psychologist: Get out of here! As soon as possible! NOW! You would be much better off doing something completely different. It's....
