Nothing else to do, folks. I figure there’s got to be a world more of these out there.
Please, indulge yourselves.

There are two types of leaders. One is natural-born. The other sits on the side to see which way the parade is moving, then races out front and yells, “Follow me!”
This is Trump. He didn’t start all of this. He’s only the shill for what already was.

The longer I live, the more convinced I become that any story is more believable than the truth.
We live in either a very cynical or very gullible world.

One of the hardest things in life is figuring out if someone else is on the same page as you are.

Why would I care what people think after I'm dead? They got a blog on the other side or what?

Is the strain of peace simply too much, humanity? You've only been evolving for millions of years. Can you not govern your lesser angels by now?

Faith can be a compromise with oneself. It may not be true, but it makes me happy.

When it comes up in conversations about music, as it almost invariably does, I am asked what my all-time favorite group is. The problem is, and believe me that it is true, I can't answer the question in a straightforward manner.
There are two groups that I hold in equal esteem. The Beatles and Moody Blues. I cannot divorce the pair. The creativity of both is simply inestimable in my mind.
Pretty well dates me, huh.

Destiny
I have always said that there is only one destiny: death. Howsomever, there was one Wilmer McClean.
It was in his front yard that the first cannon balls landed at The First Battle Of Bull Run, the first major battle of the American Civil War.
Wilmer sensibly skedaddled.
Moving his family to as far away as he believed the colliding armies never could or would find him, he was astonished when one day soldiers from both sides came knocking on his door. Lee had come to surrender to Grant.
"I can rightfully say that the war began in my front yard, and ended in my parlor," McClean later said (Paraphrase from the Ken Burns documentary, The Civil War).
Apparently, the war over Destiny continues.

Get out of the way world, I'm comin' through.
Just a little pep talk.

Opinions differ as to where the fault lies that much of humanity will be dead in a matter of decades due to environmental causes. Some say nature, itself, is to blame. Some say mankind. Others, say it's a combination of these with God thrown into the mix on occasion.
Whatever it is---we're goners.
Sorry I can't be more helpful. Hell, nobody in charge is.
And to think, this was finally an opportunity to stave off death.
Death!

Media.
"Network" was so far ahead of its time, so revelatory, that the writer(s) simply could not have been anything else but time-travelers.

Believing in one single thing to the exclusion of everything else. Good or bad?

Values are purely subjective. That and absolutely nothing else.

I’ve tended to jump from one place to another throughout my life. Yet, all I ever wanted to do was to land in one spot and stay there. That's frustrating.
Then again, in the long run I suppose we're all just renting space, anyway.
