Then he dies and as the life goes out of him you see him transformed into something very ugly and hard to look at. You see he had a portrait hidden in a closet that did all the aging transforming while time went by. At death he became what the portrait was and the portrait like magic was returned to what he looked like as a young man.I was thinking WHAT IF homo saps were unable to hide whom they are? What if, like the picture, each evil deed/word would manifest itself in their outward appearance? How they treated others. If they lied betrayed sabotaged undercut harmed it would all appear on the body the faces the appendages? What you see would be what you get. No amount of makeup or plastic surgery could change a thing. You would be able to judge the book by its cover absolutely.Would there be more gargoyles than things of beauty? Gnarled and wrinkled with all the evil they did/said etched on their faces? Would they all hide u... less

Me me me. Fops and Popinjays. Appearance is all important.People sell themselves everyday. The prettier/handsomer among them get more attention. So of course the lifelong quest is to be noticed wanted admired purchased.Now if we weren't so dam*ed enthralled with our outsides might we do better improving our insides?How about brain/mind maintenance? Who does that? What about honor integrity justice truth? No one cares any longer about any of that.Power is all. Do anything to get that. WHY?Living a life that is so self-centered doesn't seem to me to be why we are here.WHY ARE WE HERE? less

It was plush and inviting and quite beautiful.Ever go inside a gorgeous home and find what was inside was messy dirty slovenly?People are like that too. Captured by what's on the surface we settle for that and never ever explore what lies beneath. SIGH. Why?ORWe pass right on by without even pausing to chat with people who might light up our lives with their kindness decency intelligence. We judge by what we see not what is really there. We just don't have the time to find out. T'is a pity. less

A Pumpkina** devotee sez he is willing to die to get the economy rolling again. Old people die anyway. Why worry WHEN if it can help get folks back on their feet? So some die? So what?So you read it here loud and clear.:Pumpkina** supports DEATH for old people sick people poor people which is a necessity to get the economy back so he can brag about it and get re-elected. It's not brain surgery. Follow the money stupid!See? Now that isn't so hard to comprehend is it? I thought not.The party that advocates DEATH sooner rather than later is all to get worthy people back in the saddle.The ones who die would nave died anyway. What's the big deal? Who said life is fair? GET A GRIP.Know what comes next?LOGAN'S RUN. less

Tom Petty's " Free Fallin' " is one for meSomehow, the song stands out from many other songs I really like.Any time I hear it, it's like I'm hearing it for the first time.

When does the crucifixion of Pumpkina** occur? His resurrection at Easter?He already did it to Lincoln. Jesus is next I guess. Are you ready for it? You have been warned.
