Is comprehending things like that a function of degree of intelligence or does it have more to do with the emotional awareness? Have you ever gone to bed and told the folks still there to lock the door on their way out?

What ties some people to what used to be that cannot ever be changed? If you could change it by revisiting it that would make sense. But it is irrevocable and immutable and there forever unfixable irreversible constant. And yet that is where some people live out most of their lives. You are not one of them are you?

Can it be dialed down, dialed back, cut down to size, put in its place, contained, controlled, regulated, relegated to a lesser position?

Very pro human rights. Very pro working together with allies all over the world. Very anti despot dictators. Very pro American Values (patriotism loyalty financial solvency et al). Very pro honoring and following The Constitution. Very pro the three branches of government and keeping them SEPARATE and IN DEPENDENT. That's what I observe outside the boundaries of Conservatism. What do Conservatives see as the differences/disparities between what they are now and what they used to be? Anyone? less
I know being tall is better than being short. Being good-looking is better than being plain. But what's in a name? Does it carry as much weight as height or looks?

It's the least he can do for them now that he has their attention. A style setter! A fashion icon. They call dames fashionista. What do they call undames who set the tone of what's in and what's out?

Take not only what you need but as much as you want and give nothing back. A life well-lived? Really?

Then not criticizing means acceptance and support. Silence means assent not dissent. So speaking out loud against evil human snakes is our duty unless we support admire defend evil. It's complicated. What isn't?

Of course just being able to read minds at a distance wouldn't be painful but you probably would not feel any emotion at all. Well maybe SHOCK at what some folks were thinking. If someone has dream of things you could never dream yourself woldn't it be nice to share them? Or those who hear melodies inside their heads? Do you hear melodies too? Musicians do I'm sure. Something best left in The Twilight Zone? less

He tracks what you say and do. How? He has his ways. He is coming for you. He never forgets and never forgives and always takes out his enemies. You are his enemy. You did not do what he told you to do. Tsk. Condolences. Now I'm not talking about the anti-dons. We have always been on his list to take out. It is the independents moderates who voted for him that he will target. Better weaponize yourselves in some way. You are at risk for his revenge! Uh-oh. Hear that knock on your door? DON'T ANSWER IT! :( less
