THE TRUTH HURTS

"THE POLITICIANS WHO SIT IN THEIR HOUSE AND SENATE SEATS FUNDED BY THE NRA TELLING US NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO PREVENT THIS-(MARJORY STONEMAN DOUGLASS HS MASS SHOOTING). WE CALL BS.

THEY SAY NO LAWS COULD HAVE PRESENTED THE HUNDREDS OF SENSELESS TRAGEDIES THAT HAVE OCCURRED. WE CALL BS.

THINGS THE OLD MAN TAUGHT ME

  • WHEN YOU THINK YOU UNDERSTAND "THE TRUTH," START OVER.
  • DON'T LET EVERYDAY PROBLEMS TAKE YOU DOWN. THAT'S WHAT TOMORROW IS FOR.
  • LISTEN. LOOK AROUND. YOU'RE TALKING WAY TOO MUCH AND DOING WAY TOO LITTLE.
  • HUMAN BEING ARE ALL THE SAME. FORGET COLOR, ABILITY, LANGUAGE, DISABILITY, RELIGION, CLOTHES, ETHNIC ORIGIN, SEXUAL ORIENTATION. WE ALL HAVE TO SIT ON THE POT WHEN NATURE CALLS. IT'S THE GREAT EQUALIZER. WE'RE ALL FULL OF SHIT.
  • MAKE SURE THE TREASURE YOU SEEK IS THE TREASURE YOU NEED.
  • IF YOU WASTE A LOT OF TIME, YOU'LL RUN OUT.
  • ON THE OTHER HAND, THE OLD MAN SAID, "DON'T GET TOO EXCITED. WHAT HAPPENS, HAPPENS. DON'T MAKE IT PERSONAL."

"CAPITAL" PUNISHMENT

By the way, anyone in public service who violates the public trust, by stealing, or sexual misconduct, or lying, or taking tens of thousands of dollars from corporations and lobbyists, or faking a five day work week, or wearing stupid ties and white, long sleeved shirts in 90 degree weather, or voting to hurt children, or voting to hurt woman, or just plain voting on anything stupid, should have to retire and forfeit their retirement income. This would be called the rich man's "capital" punishment.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"EVERY THIRD-GRADE STUDENT IN THE UNITED STATES IS PRESENTED WITH THE CONCEPT OF EUROPEANS DISCOVERING AMERICA AS A "NEW WORLD" WITH FERTILE SOIL, ABUNDANT GIFTS OF NATURE, AND GLORIOUS MOUNTAINS AND RIVERS. ONLY THE MOST ENLIGHTENED TEACHERS WILL EXPLAIN THAT THIS WORLD CERTAINLY WASN'T NEW TO THE MILLIONS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE WHO ALREADY LIVED HERE WHEN COLUMBUS ARRIVED."
