Well it didn't specifically say but in fact in life animals eat their own. I wonder why?

We built more tent cities in 2019. Anyone know what's on the docket for 2020?

Tiger Woods is probably the very best golfer ever. But his last outing I think he ended at 10 over par. He is 42 and still young but others who are younger are simply better.If any of you have ever been "best" once upon a time at anything was it very hard for you when someone came around who was "better"? Or did you take it in stride having been very well satisfied with your time in the sun and didn't mind moving on? less

Being so evil that finding the parents and reuniting them with their children is IMPOSSIBLE because the records were so f....d up because no one gave a dam* about any of them. CRUEL and INCOMPETENT is the hallmark of the don. CRUELTY is his cuppa tea and all his adoring worshippers sip it 24/7. How nice for them.

But of course that makes no sense to me. Did Jefferson KNOW the capital would be relocated 9 years in advance of the fact?Anyway setting that aside it's been named that for about 230 years. 1791-2020 is a long time.What name would YOU like it be changed to and why?

I wonder how much it would cost? But of course cost is not object when urgent essential is on the table. It could cost billions I suppose. Nothing is too good for the head that would be carved thereon. Price is no object when it comes to honoring massively important people.

Owning up to what you are and what you think and what you hope and what you adore and what you admire can be surprisingly beneficial. You'll find bazillions of others out there just like you. No secret handshake needed. Just bond together and support cruelty at every juncture at ever level every minute of your life. It gives your life purpose and meaning and at the end of your life you will look back on what you fought for all your life and be most pleased with you. On your deathbed being pleased with your accomplishments and friendships is a very good thing. Isn't it? May we all be so blessed. less

That was capped off by Gordon Gekko in the movie Wall Street whose creed was GREED IS GOOD.Now greed is celebrated emulated and honored. Show's ta go ya what honesty will do. Ayn Rand made bazillions of bucks and had/has bazillions of admirers. I think WALL STREET made a bundle at the box office as well. .So that's how homo saps evolve. It's "better" to think what you think rather than what you think you SHOULD think. Healthier too. Progress is like that. less

Only the person who does the hiring can decide that. All in all hasn't don done a great job? He hires a lot and fires a lot always seeking that perfect blend. One day he will reach it.

Of course Eleanor Roosevelt came into her own and I'm not sure if any other First Lady was ever as dynamic as she was. Betty Ford is attached to the Betty Ford clinic in the desert which help people with problems of alcohol sober up. Nancy Reagan was involved with a JUST SAY NO to drugs. Jackie I think brought "culture" to the White House. I'm not sure if she had ahy particular thing she was passionate about. She was a classy dame but I'm not sure what else.Which FIRST LADY do you admire most and why? What focus would you like a First Lady to spend time on? less

So transparency and honesty is not going to be present in his administration? What else do we conclude by this dumb don type reaction? Keep it private. Don't say a word. It's not good and the folks don't need to know anything about it.Yeah. Right. Sheesh.Typical pols. KEEP TRUTH from coming out at all costs. Geez where have we heard THAT before? less

Eros - romantic, passionate, erotic, sexualPhilia - affectionate, fraternal, between friends and equals,Agape - selfless, universal, empathic, altruistic, ethicalStorge - familiar, the old oxytocin feeling for someone who fits like an old sockMania - obsessive for anyone or anything, a kind of madnessLudus - playfulPragma - enduring love, only known when you get therePhilautia - for self, necessary for healthy functioning, but unhealthy in excess.
But then we'd need still more words for moments when we say we "love" ice-cream or Vivaldi.
So I have my own way of defining love:"love is that which consciously cares for the well-being of life."But how accurate is it?The word love in my definition could just as easily be substituted for wisdom or goodness. So have I understood the essence of love or not?
