When the crowd gets strength from one another it becomes a monster doesn't it? Then if beer is served at the concessons stands some get drunk as skunks or maybe they bring their own. Maybe they are on drugs too.Do you enjoy crowds? Being part of them? Do they juice you up embolden you make you feel part of something STRONG? Or do you avoid them?
Aren't they what help to destroy a society? Knowing it's wrong but doing it anyway or thinking it's right and doing it proudly?Which is worse when the outcome is inevitable dastardly deadly?

Sometimes I'm 6 or 13 or 16 too. How easy it is to shed the years at times when you're older. Personally I think it's a gift and a blessing.What childish thing or things have you held on to that you think is a blessing too?

She wrote a poem in French titled "Tout Vient Aqui Sait Attendre" in 1892 the English translation of which is below. What we never knew or heard was how it ends. We just were told "wait and whatever it is that you want will come to you." Well that was just one shoe.All hoped for things will come to youWho have the strength to watch and waitThe longings spur the steeds of fateThis has been said by one who knewAh, ALL THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT(I say these words to make me glad)But something answers soft and sadThey come but often come too late less

They ended up in the US House of Representatives and the Senate proudly "acting up" and causing trouble because what they are beholden to is the antithesis of good kind caring logical and common sensical.How queerly peculiarly that so many of them sought the same end isn't it? All republicans of course. All bent on blocking anything helpful to we the people. All taking off and going of and making noise to get attention.Perhaps it is our punishment for being conned by them and allowing them to gain power. I dunno. It's embarrassing as he**. Also horrifying and frightening. They're still the smart a** troublemakers only now they got the power! less

If you are OBESE, have diabetes, are on CHEMO for instance. ALSO those of us CANCER SURVIVORS may always be at risk. We don't know what happened to our immune systems due to the chemo we endured.What we KNOW is this. WE DON'T KNOW a lot more than we do know. Which means caution and precaution and logical and common sense SHOULD be what we all are. Whatever. less

The double-edge sword is better at thrusting, piercing through armor, and no one is going to grab the blade. But the downside is that it is subject to breakage because both sides are thin.The double-edge sword requires more maintenance having to sharpen two sides rather than just oneIs it best to have both?

Just because the country to which the criminal flees has no extradition treaty with the US doesn't mean he is safe right? Or does it?There are dozens of countries that have no extradition treaties with the United States. Why I don't know.Or does the crook have to just disappear off the face of the earth figuratively and never be heard from again?Smart move isn't it? Run away? less

I am talking about adults controlling other adults.I'm not talking about gun-crazy maniacs. Or political ideology partisan nutjob crackpot nincompoops. They need to be controlled. I am talking about those who want to control the normal regular adult sane logical person. What they think what they say what they do. Anyone got a clue?

Will there be an EXPERT on trumpism to whom all will listen to understand what it is and how it infiltrated a certain segment of humankind?It is not a worldwide passion. It is located in one narrow tiny portion of the world with a very small population. It is not contagious but once you get it you never get rid of it and you do pass it on down through genetics to your children.Something we feared but now? We see it for what it is. A madness. A plague. A black death. But localized.What good came from it? That will be explored. Did the horrendously egregious outweigh the good? Were there any survivors that healed and rid themselves of it or once gotten it stays got?All of that may well be documented. It will take a series of books to cover it. When will they be published and available to the public? AFTER all of the sh** hits all of the fans and the ma... less
