Curious, sensual, humorous, honest. I laugh at the world but mostly at myself. The future will soon be a thing of the past, and with it, all of us. The Present is all we have.
Is there any replacement for the world?

(I generally write about the books in my library, the ones I am able to pick up, handle, and verify what I am writing about. I mostly have a large collection of Penguin classics and some other things concerning the War Poets of the early 19th century. I study Asian philosophy in China and Japan and India as well. I write aphorisms and sometime a little fiction. I try to wander through this where my mind leads. I thought I would write with a audience to motivate myself, with embarrassment, in learning my own studies and for only my wisdom. I have done much schooling, but ...we all know that school these days is a brainwashing factory, right? So...most of what I have learned on my own I still remember. Maybe I accidentally teach myself something and maybe someone accidentally learns to teach themselves a thing. That's what I think.)
(A small word: you will have to be patient with idea presentation in this format. I am not contradicting myself if concepts demand more attention than space is available...ask for a reading list, I'll be happy to provide one.)
(All the 'group' in which I have posted are mine for organizational purposes...just easier for extremely complex narratives)
(If you post on my page or in the groups please try to stay on topic, be concise,
write with nuance and have sources ready...accepted sources not
nonsense--I keep a certain standard here.
I don't think this is too much to ask.
I consider this a sacred pursuit. If you
shit post {specifically and intentionally disgusting material} I will permanently remove you. I am not being too serious, jokes are accepted. I don't want to see disgusting stupidities on my page, please.
Stay classy and try to have fun.)
(I can't believe I have to tell people this but: write and think at least a level above community college or I will hold you accountable, challenge your comments, destroy you; I will make an example of you. Get it? That's the level of thinking I expect and the example I myself set,
I accept nothing less.
So, step up your game or go play with the children.)
YES,
THIS PAGE IS ONE LARGE INTERLOCKING CONVERSATION
ON HUMANITY.
...I am going on a journey? . . .
I am a proud citizen of the United States of America. I am revolted by the mounting evidence that seems to link Trump with Russia criminal behavior and becoming President as a result of Russia's interference. I am heart-sick that a President and an AG would cruelly and brutally steal children from their parents' arms without any intention of returning them. It sickens me to know this was done to inflict as much pain as possible to people that only wanted a better, safer life for their children. I believe this is a crime against humanity and one day Trump and Sessions will have to answer charges for these actions. I hate hearing the President and some members of the GOP accusing without proof the intelligence community of misconduct. I am appalled by the threats of Trump to interfere in the Justice system. I am filled with rage hearing the President insult me by lying about issues where the truth is readily available. I am not stupid and despise that Trump thinks I am. I hate the attacks by the GOP and Trump on the press. They are protected by our constitution and are the heroes that work long hours investigating issues, policies, events, and people, and once they have multiple sources, they report the facts. They are the heroes of our nation by presenting the truth to the citizens where too many elected officials, especially those in the WH, lie constantly. And I hate the false term fake news which Trump thinks is so clever. It’s not. There is no fake news, only lies and the ones I hear are coming from his mouth and those of his toadies. I am sick of watching and listening to the President disparage people of color. I am sick and tired of Trump insulting our allies and fawning over our enemies. I am furious at members of Congress, almost exclusively the GOP who sees these un-American actions taken by Trump but who are too lazy, or too spineless or too corrupt to act. Their duty is to the citizens not to the GOP or their wealthy campaign donors. The America I know, the one I grew up loving is worth fighting for. I ask everyone to let Trump and the GOP know they can not, will not overpower the millions of patriots that put country before party and will resolutely stand against those that seek to subvert our government and our way of life. I hope you feel the same way.
