I don't want to be accused of poaching a good idea so I'm telling you from jump street that this post was inspired by David Straker's site, Changing Minds. Dude is deep into well of looking at the various forms of persuasion.It was also inspired by some of the nuttiness about how we have discussions in America about very serious, complicated topics.The most recent set furor is about education.The 2012 Texas Republican Platform does encode the belief system of many Americans. There is no point in denying it. The orginal text as printed and accepted...

This Is Bullying and We Are Responsible
Posted on 10:24 AM by Unknown
I have been trying to post to Twitter and it won't let me. It is just as well. I have a lot to say and I might have left too long a comment at Lynette Young's G+ page. I want to put in my two cents about what happened to Karen Klein.This woman is a school bus monitor who was subjected to ten minutes of abuse by kids, pre-teens, teens it doesn't matter. The little haters let their mouths run wild and free.I can't get past more than three minutes of it. It get's worse.I'm going to incorporate some of my comments that I posted on Lynette's page and...

When Worlds Intersect Is that A Good Thing?
Posted on 6:19 PM by Unknown
I am a long time traditional comic book reader. Old school when ten cents got me the latest issue of Batman. I love libraries. Movies. Animation. Sex. Literacy. Reading, Creativity. And usually they are compartmentalize and each is in their own silo.Sometimes there is an overlap. One or two intersections is okay but this...this is popping brain cells. Once upon a time eh, 1999, there was a comic book called Birds of Prey. Later, there was a television show by that name. It didn't last long but I watched it.No complaints. It had Shemar Moore.Why...

Once More Into the Daylight
Posted on 6:04 AM by Unknown
I really don't want to go outside. Because once I do I have to commit to facing another day. I have to go through this day in order to get to Saturday and Sunday.I have to put on the big girl panties and deal with people, rules, conflicting rules, being held accountable by the conflicting rules and then taking a huge breath and remembering it really does not matter.Not one bit.I bought a magazine called Light of Consciousness. I think it is for folks that want to apply Buddhist principles in everyday life. I'm not a Buddhist but I'm willing to...

In Memory of Fred and Tears of Remembrance
Posted on 5:49 AM by Unknown
Each generation brings something new to the party. What we held true 20 years ago gets pushed to the past and then evaporated. It is hard to understand until you live it. I have my memories and they can't really be touched by re-inventors.Most of the time.This is a re-mix video by PBS Digital Studios called Garden of the Mind. It is some words and moments with a neighbor. It has been a good long while since Fred Rogers has passed on. Certainly a icon in children's television and as an advocate of quality television.I remember seeing Mr. Rogers...

Confirmed - I'm Not In the One Percent
Posted on 7:46 PM by Unknown
The appointment was for 4:30 p.m. I get there at 4:10 p.m. and wait for about an hour or so. In the meantime I get to read a 1% magazine. I am sure that the 1% folks read this magazine because there were ads in it for jewelry that crested around the $367,000 level.I'm not into polished rocks but I have to say there was not a cubic zirconia in the entire magazine. Fire stones and ice laced with golden circles. There was skimpy food served on porcelain . There were rich guys on private islands trying to keep the natives from encroaching on their...

Passing Through June Gloom
Posted on 8:30 AM by Unknown
June Gloom here in Los Angeles is when the mornings are really cloudy. It is cool outside. It is blah. As the day moves on it get sunny and bright. The warmth hits the body and life is good again.But you have to pass through June Gloom.Not only a weather condition but a reality of life. You can BS yourself into saying you want make a change or you can just up and do it.Most folks would rather not. People change because they are in trouble and they have no choice in the matter. I am of the opinion you should not wait for life to kick your tushy...
