Sunset at Foscue Creek, Nov 25, 2008
I'm going with yellow in the kitchen
The interior of this RV is a busy space in mostly a medium brown and I find it a tad depressing. It's taken me forever to decide what to do about it and I'm still not completely sure where I'll end up but a lot of the brown has to go.
For now I'm starting with the kitchen walls in a pale yellow which I will accent with a strong primary yellow.

Emergent democracy
Culture brings us together, usually at a very small scale through mutual belief, trust and common interest. It educes, not compels, behavior. Culture codified is law. It is as inevitable as the day the night that as scale increases, law increases. Law enforced is government. Government does not, in the main, educe behavior, but compels it. Democratic or otherwise, rarely, very rarely, does any concentration of power or wealth desire to see subjects well informed, truly educated, their privacy ensured or their discourse uninhibited. Those are the very things that power and wealth fear most. Old forms of government have every reason to operate in secret, while denying just that privilege to subjects. The people are to be minutely scrutinized while power is to be free of examination.
