JOHN RUBENS is no Mother Teresa.

It is up to us to listen, turn a blind eye, debate and ultimately decide whether to continue along the lines of the U.S. Constitution.  Every U.S. citizen that has a vote has a voice and the right to bear arms, even a black panther who passes clearances.

I hope my clearance is not needed.

  @raftofwater Dear @billgates_s Depends how you count the years in order to define success (and as it turns out, our perceptions and definitions of the ‘years’ of which we live?).

When I was young, I thought I was good, and like @ringostarrmusic said, I probably was for a #littleleaguer. Then they put up the ski buoys.

“We don’t like you.”

“UR loss.”

“We don’t think so, we’re hardly ever wrong.”

“Who are you, the CIA?” I watched the speaker but kept my peripheral vision on his partner who was staggered behind him close to the wall. #WhoRU? #TheWho see also #WhosNext.

We are on a conveyor belt to an endstop which may be a garbage dump.  Like the holocausted in Nazi concentration camps waiting in line to be cleansed by a shower, we needed a shower after that long, long train ride.

I like the fact that I’m so popular now as a member of The Commons 101. I’ve tried to stop some of the emails from Blogging 101 but I they keep coming (and I keep working, something I might not otherwise do, even in a California rain). I do find I write to more people via blogging 101. I kind of know what it must feel like to be a celebrity, politician or successful salesperson: every lead is attached to a person. I’m able to “touch” about 10% of the emails and like or post comments like this one to about half that many, the ones that incite me to write.
