Not me. I like to speak my mind too much.


We know what most humans want and what most Americans want. Want deprived becomes pain. Pain demands political help.

Want deprived becomes pain?? Really? I've wanted a jacuzzi and sauna for almost 20 years now, and I'm not in pain because I don't have it. I think about it everyday with every sore muscle and aching joint.
I just tell myself the truth-that is is a luxury that I don't need and can't afford-that I have gotten by without it this long, and that I am tough and can do without. I made some poor decisions when I was about 21 or so, and that leaves me wanting today, too. Still, I don't demand that any elected official solve my problems, but a grant for old folks like me to go back to school would be nice. :)



Politicians want
votes so they acquiesce as much as they can. So how to change human nature? Inevitability. Until a problem is hitting us over the head we Americans will not make meaningful changes. We will, as a society, strive for what we perceive is the best life for us and our children. For the majority, that means a paycheck. A paycheck means a job. I do not see a viable alternative.

Did you read about the treehouse dude? City made him leave. :(
I like the guy that built his own little island out of plastic bottles and such. I wonder what happened to that?
