The horizon, the hills and valleys, the flow of water, the shape of rocks, plants and animals, and the human figure are composed of curves. Nature is curved with few exceptions. The straight lined, angular, man-made world sharply contrasts with the natural world.
Curvism seeks to move out of the square, rectangular, cubed world and into the sphere of the curved line, the circle and the ellipse.

No Cause for Alarm
Who needs a natural environment when we can live and do live in our own controlled world.
Doom and Gloom
Most humans have the awareness of their own death lurking in the back of their minds. Now we also have to worry about the death of the planet.
Global Warming 2007
I was watching T.V. last night and heard Al Gore talking about the seriousness of Global Warming and the need to take immediate meaningful action. Al Gore was delivering his speech to the Kyoto Conference in Japan in 1997. I was watching this rerun on CSPAN's history channel.

True democratic freedom is the only force that has the possibility of controlling and containing the corrupting power of capitalism. Democratic freedom is the last hope of the hopeless.
Buddha and the Wilderness
Every time I get a chance to escape the man-made world, I see it from the perspective that it’s all a man-made illusion and that it suffers mostly from unnatural causes made by humans themselves.

The special interests of the timber, mining, oil, coal, uranium, cattle, natural gas, and tourist industries all want new roads built so they can get their machines into the last remaining wilderness areas and their hands on the last remaining natural resources currently controlled and protected by the federal government.
Bad News
