He rejects the standard lives of those around him. Capitalists wanting success and money and status. It's not enough for him. He spends years and years trying to find himself and does eventually. A different path than the standard ordinary everyday typical people. It's simple. To do hard work and help people how when if you can. That's it. I think folks who help people because they believe that is what they are here for are extraordinarily rare. Do you know anyone like that? less

Right now we are in the middle of it...a VERY LONG AND DARK middle. How long before we get out and get back to "normal"? Or did that ship sail? Did that train leave the station?

Is it a sign of weakness, or a sign of humility, or a sign of something else entirely?It’s extremely easy to badmouth a politician you dislike or despise or outright hate, but if there one (or more) of them who has your admiration and respect, this post focuses more on that aspect rather than spewing venom at an easy target. I purposefully aim the discussion toward your positive outlooks on people who have then committed a misfortune or wrongful action so that it’s not a smear of your opponents nor a kiss-up session of your proponents. No human is infallible. The way he or she handles missteps is a telling view of character and aplomb. less

Why can’t politicians in general (this is not about any particular person or party) be straightforward about experiencing reverse thinking on a serious and pertinent issue instead of burying it in subterfuge and double-talk that tries to disguise a perfectly normal human action? I have no expectation that any political figure should be superhuman, and I don’t see changing one’s mind as an automatic symbol of weakness. less

Nothing ever changes. Whether you are a selfish spoiled brat who tantrums and hissy fits or a a really good kid.Disgusting ain't it?

Keep the kiddies ignorant. What could it hurt?Yep. A law that bans political activism and political advocacy. Don't give kids anything to think about that might upset them or criticize them or thwart their natural tendencies or go against what their daddy dearest and crummy mummy taught them. WHITE IS RIGHT. Bottom line it. WHITE IS RIGHT. WHITE IS RIGHT. WHITE IS RIGHT.So we educate our children to be IGNORAMUSES because we just don't want them to ever have to think about any of it. Just learn what we allow you to learn and shove it up where the sun don't shine for all of the "other stuff".Stupid dumb parents and ignoramus stupid dumb kids. They mimic one another think like one another act like one another and disappear inside one another all homogenized and pasteurized and cauterized and lobotomized.They will lead this country one day.

You will be over- protected short term which is unnecessary it will have worn off before it would have been most helpful/useful.So don't rush right out and push yourself ahead of others and have to be the first. You will be shooting yourself in the foot. If you got your shot in December sure go ahead. But if you got it in April what are you nuts?

Why worry?

Knowing you could absolutely stay forever there if you liked it but also being assured that you could come back to being you living where you do?So? Any takers out there or is it way to scary even to imagine a what if?For me it would be CANNERY ROW. I wrote its author John Steinbeck a 28-page fan leader long ago and received a postcard from him in his own handwriting which I obviously TREASURE BEYOND MEASURE. Dated May 9, 1964 he addressed specifically the questions I asked him and I still can't believe it. All these many decades later.I visited Cannery Row when a friend and I drove up the coast to San Francisco. Yes. Those people really existed and that time and place was so well represented in his early works.If you are familiar with them you know what I mean. If not no matter. less
