The Universe Is Unfolding

When I was young, The universe is unfolding as it should was a sort of mantra that became integral to my awareness. The angst and drama that seemed to plague many of those around me was rendered, for me, slightly paler for it. Slightly less able to command my attention. I saw the need for and understood that there was a rainbow, in fact, welcomed and honored it, before the iconic "rainbow" of today was even an inspiration to the human rights campaigners. The Rainbow Coalition was something that I felt, before it even had a name. I have now heard of the Legendary Hopi tale, regarding the Rainbow Warrior, Peace Warrior, Guide for the Ages, whatever you call it, the traditional view claims to be a prophesy. I think it is just the understanding that eventually two trends would converge. One trend is the scientific proof that we are all one. As the hippies used to say, we are all one big family, a tribe if you will and the other is the steady increase in awareness that we are really nothing more than billions of years old carbon, only taking the shape that we perceive today for the briefest of lifetimes. As a charmaster, this carbon is a major source of fascination for me. The older I get, the less like a mantra those words become, but the more real they seem to be. I no longer have to think about it, I just know it to be true.

This is not always the case. In the unfolding, there are always going to be deeper and deeper understandings. This requires fractile awareness of scale. The Universe is unfolding...end of story. Universes can only be perceived as a multi-dimensional broadening of awareness taking place. Roughly at the speed of light, photons make their way across nearly inconceiveable (to the human mind) distances. Our awareness grows as time elapses because more distant (than we had been able to see) parts of the whole enter our awareness each moment. At the great distance (from our points of reference/awareness), the very amount of information we are able to perceive anew each second, is more than the average brain can comprehend. Imagine for a moment that there is a rushing wave of awareness, pouring out across vast, empty space, at the speed of light in all directions. There will always and forever be, more unknown than known and we mortals need to come to grips with that.

The concept of "as it should", although in some aspects can be liberating, it also super-imposes a grid of perception that this vastness could not have done so in any other way. The unfolding universe reveals more when we see the fractile pattern of uncertainty superimposed upon that which is. There are no questions in the Universe. It is, nothing else. There is no kinda-sorta, now but not later dichotomy. It only is. That is the powerful release point for all perception. When people are "groovy" or had "good vibes", people you feel good around, you know the kind, it is typically that we are reacting to their soul. They seem to resonate with the universal. I have heard people describe their personalities as infectious or magnetic. Interestingly these are elemental forces in the Universe as well. Often, soul mates speak of being drawn to one another, part of a soul family or they will say that before meeting their partner, they were friends that had not met yet. This is actually more than fate, more than mere chance, but an un-testable force in nature. Our own perceptions of good, bad, beautiful and ugly are all just subjective attempts to make sense of it all. Values which humans have come to accept and that are used to guide our thinking, our language and many of our actions are not as real or universal as we lead ourselves to believe.

I have heard many times in the recent past that most of the rules that religions give us are universal, but just one, scratch into that concept and we find that love one another seems to be predicated upon the fact that we only want to feel that way about some of the people we share the world with. Otherwise there would be no war.

Perhaps there is a reason for war...to teach us what not to do. In spite of all the horrors of war and the death of millions of innocent lives, perhaps war will teach us one day, what not to do.
 

Earthday Full Moon

Since these two days don't always coincide, it is well to note that in spite of the fact that every day is Earthday, or needs to be if we are to survive as a species, it is also well to note that the brightness of the night sky frequently brings groups out into the night to walk about, because of the reflected light of the sun partially illuminating the dark side of our planet. In the spirit of this walkabout, perhaps it is well to remember that our entire culture has been plunged into the dark side, economically, culturally, educationally, religiously, environmentally, etc. The Great Grandmother Moon, continues to bring at least a partial light in which to "see". There may be a few bumps and diversions along the trail, but let us start along the path, into this great darkness.

First we must take our bearings and orient ourselves in the fading glow of functional twilight. Fifty years ago, constant court challenges fought back against the sweeping changes brought about by the New Deal. Even though the reforms of FDR would be felt for thirty years, and more, the long slide toward poverty that the majority of workers are currently experiencing began to be felt after a generation that was the unknowing recipient of all the new deal prosperity and the rewards of long-term investment in our nation. Just as the Divine Right of Kings obscured truth, rather than elucidated it 400 years ago, the myths that we have been steeped in continue to foist lies upon us, represented to us as truth.

Darwin, for instance represented to us the theory of survival of the fittest and it gave another shot in the arm to the dead religion of dog eat dog and the lie that life is short, and humans are cruel, brutish creatures, each out only for self interest. The poor chap was deferential to the theories and beliefs his forebears had laid down for him too. If he only knew his level of privilege, perhaps he would have been able to conceive of survival of the luckiest, as we see is true today. We are each infinitely lucky, first that our species has not been obliterated by nuclear winter. Lord and Lady both know that we have stood at the threshold of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) of generations. Like looking down the barrel of a loaded gun, the major world players have held the power to wipe out humankind for decades. We survive, because we are the luckiest.

The oligarchs today pat one another on the back and tell one another that they really do have the best interests of the rest of us in mind, but growing numbers are seeing this is not the case. Oligarchs, cannot help but understand the world in ways that they have had presented to them. Getting them to understand that the drug war, combined with race based law enforcement, equals genocide, seems an insurmountable task, but rank and file police officers see the truth of it played out. There are black neighborhoods in America today, where half the young black population is incarcerated or on paper. with unemployment at fifty percent, we have driven hopes and dreams out of the black community just as we are driving them out of the poor white communities, only with vengeful punishments and bigoted hate.

More and more people are coming to understand that this is indeed our darkest hour. The more than four trillion dollar attacks on the Iraqi and Afghan people that have left a trail of destruction, mayhem and poverty that are dwarfed by the pain and misery of the continuing drug war that we fight against our own people. The Earth, mother of all creatures teaches the exact opposite. Growth and even in death, nature leaves only resources for the next trophic level. When we destroy entire cities, towns and villages, nothing can grow upon the rubble.

We are 4.543 billion year old carbon...

This Full Moon Earthday, let us spread the message that it is time for all of us to walk out of the dark ages, time to enlighten the conversation, time to speak truth to power and time to refrain from allowing the lies of the past determine how we approach one another and the world around us. we the People have the power to stand with and for one another. We all see what happens when the wealthiest among us decide who shall rule...

We the People began Earthday, We the People must take it back from the big money donors, the corporate welfare recipients who have commandeered the festivities, those who would distract us from the true meaning of the day. We must remember that Earthweek is a thing and that a week is still not enough to keep the ideas which were shared during the first Earthday alive amongst the people. Every day needs to become Earthday if we are to leave the next generation with hope and a reasonable expectation of carrying on the species. We are the ones with the most to lose, we will have to take matters into our own hands.

Share time with friends, family, community, let everyone know that caring for the Earth is just as easy as assaulting it, and all we need to do to experience abundance is to learn to behave according to nature rather than seeing ourselves at odds with it. Science continues to prove that we are one with nature, we just need to start acting like it.

Flourishing-Diversity

Flourishing requires a network of support services. Whether you are a bacterium, a fungi, reptile or mammal, your state of being and the homeostasis that you are capable of maintaining is based on a myriad of factors. There need to be enough of several things to keep your organism healthy and functional. Air and water are needed for most creatures on Earth to function and a higher rate of pathogenic organisms inhabit areas that are deprived of air. The relative quality of the air available directly impacts the health of organisms. The relative quality of water often is as well. Specific organisms can make their way in polluted environs better than others, but generally speaking, the cleaner the air and water, the healthier the organisms who live there will be. Another realm of necessary support systems required for "life", are based on availability of food and nutrition, or a substrate that can be easily broken down so that energy and resources can be harvested from the environment and ultimately used for metabolism. Macro and micro nutrients, minerals and carbohydrates are almost universally integrated into organisms and at each trophic level, energy is both stored and released in step-wise fashion throughout the food web.

When sunlight strikes leaves, or blades of grass,  there is a concentration of both energy, which is absorbed by the tissues of the plant and nutrient, the plant material itself. There is also a massive capture of carbon, directly from the atmosphere, but also from the "food" that the tree, or grass,  harvests through roots. When filter feeding whales harvest krill or plankton, billions of discreet energy and nutrient concentrating organisms are required for a single snack. Eating low on the food chain (less trophic levels between our organism and the Sun/Water/ nutrients/minerals where our food starts out)only protects you if the foodshed is clean. Many toxic compounds are bio-accumulated through each trophic level.

Whereas the plankton feeding whale is exploiting the lowest levels of the food chain, his cousins who eat fish and squid are at least two trophic levels removed from plankton. Tiny plankton eating fish may be two trophic levels from the source of the sun energy they need to survive. Phytoplankton eaten by zooplankton, consumed by tiny fish, eaten by larger fish is already four trophic levels and at each one, a typical concentration of both energy and toxicity, of bio-accumulating materials is about tenfold. I have spoken to several toxicologists who agree that one of the best ways to clear some toxic compounds in the environment is to encourage people who like to eat fish to eat them and upon death sequester their bodies as hazardous material, because their tissues are sponges for some contaminants. We are all only as healthy as our environment allows us to  be. That being said, we can never know how healthy we might be, had we not denuded 90% of the primeval forest that once covered North America.

This cycling occurs with energy from sunlight, carbohydrates, minerals, some toxic compounds, etc.

When biologists say that organisms need food, shelter, to exchange gasses and carry on the species, we can all understand what that means. If you are the size of a microbe, your habitat can be microscopically small, but all the same support services must exist for you to survive. In conditions of optimal availability of these resources, it is easy to understand that flourishing will occur. In very real terms, the better things get, the better things get for the organism. In fact, in nature the booms and busts that occur within and among the different species of organism never lead to only one organism succeeding in isolation, but when populations go into decline, other organisms and their relative abundance increase, often in equal measure to the biomass of what died off to give them rise.
these cycling processes are similar to the water cycle we all learned about in fifth grade.  

Diversity  is required to facilitate flourishing. The two cannot be separated. When mono-cultures expand beyond carrying capacity, Mother nature slaps them down and we can see evidence of this at each and every trophic level. Exceed the limits of your habitat and you die off. then, your carcass becomes resource for another food chain to take hold, another series of trophic levels to begin...

Broadening the base of any food chain adds stability and  continuity to the whole. Anthropogenic (human caused) change in plants and animals are clearly demonstrated by science to exist for a variety of functions that help we humans to prosper within our environment. Our species domesticated plants and animals for our use for over eleven thousand years. Over 550 generations, we have benefited from conscious husbandry of thousands of species. In the last three generations the diversity of these organisms has fallen precipitously and with it, the adaptability that nature proves is necessary to stabilize populations over time. There is no excuse for this de-evolution of the human possibility for a future. Science proves that flourishing is based on diversity, on availability of a diverse set of resources, on unique and varied ecotones. Our history is replete with examples of how diversity serves all as well as the individual, yet we let fewer and fewer numbers of people, and fewer and fewer species of organism determine and represent greater and greater realms of what we have available.

This reductionist approach is what allows some people to go through life consuming most of their calories from meat and processed foods. If they eat lettuce, of the thousands of types, they probably have only tasted three or four. It is the reality that we face that some people never eat any meals that do not contain high-fructose corn syrup and how just a few genetic strains of potato are responsible for the vast majority of all potatoes eaten on the planet. We have lost more than we can hope to understand because we lack the knowledge of our ancestry that exists in intact native cultures. as we develop into a pan culture, that surrounds the earth with nearly identical tastes, consumer habits and proclivities, we become susceptible to the very real threat that all mono-cultures face.

Bioneers, for decades, have begun to reclaim our ancestrally acquired bio-diverse plants and animals. Often referred to as boutique breeds of cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats and chickens are favorites among smaller scale agriculturalists because of their disease resistance, their ability to thrive in varied climate, and under more diverse circumstances. When I was looking into sheep, for instance, my goals were different than most breeders and luckily, there has been a strong effort recently to restore vital, but less financially rewarding breeds. There are specific needs that need to be met in different places and at different times. There are breeds that are more and less adaptable, or adapted to specific conditions and knowing that can make the difference between flourishing and just surviving. It is the same with any plant or animal, let us not forget that we need diversity to flourish.

Another Anniversary

March 31st, 1987. I was preparing to leave for my Great Lakes Bicycle Ride. I was about to depart on a ride of over 4,280 miles to let people around the Great Lakes know about cheap and simple things they could do to protect the Earth, water and air quality. I left armed with dozens of solutions to everyday problems and was constantly sharing techniques designed to increase efficiency, cut the cost of living and add to quality of life, while encouraging those living in the region to live more lightly on the planet.

These things have not changed. I continue on that path, although the ride took place over two and a half months, (80 days to be exact) my effort to improve the lives and environmental quality of this refion has continued for nearly three decades. Each year I take stock of the tools and techniques that are available to me and redouble my efforts to share important information with others about possible ways forward. From my posts and blogs as Saladman at Paganspace.net, sharing with over 50,000 pagans, to my wordpress blog, Permaculture, ECO-Ethics, Trees...from this blog, to the other blogger dot com blog that I write as: ECO-Tours of Wisconsin Inc. the messages are always the same. We can and often do better with less. The most valuable and revered things in life are not things, they are relationships.

If I had not grown up in poverty, perhaps I would not know about the real costs of anything. I probably would not understand the real value of anything either. The tenacity that difficulties and hardship can instill in people may be worth it in the end, but living through absence and lack is not as much fun as one might imagine. We live in a nation that continues to blame the victims of poverty, even though it is not their fault that they are poor. Demagogues frequently portray minorities as the problem because it is easier than solving the very real issues that we face. It seems that at every turn, there are faceless corporate interests that are intent on picking our pockets, however, these actions don't capture the press or attention of the masses. The high cost of advertising assures that money saving ideas rarely make it into the public eye. Unless you have to spend a large amount to save a small amount, then, you will not see the ads.

It has been nearly thirty years since that fateful day. The day I struck out, into the relative unknown. The years of study about the Great Lakes Region familiarized me with the geology, hydrology, forests and agricultural practices across the region. I had ample knowledge about the roads and cities that I would be seeing along the route. My focus, with a little help from Citizens for a Better Environment and Pollution Probe on ecological mayhem that followed in the wake of industrialization made me acutely aware of the types of hazards that we face from unbridled capitalism and in my heart of hearts I believed that when people heard the truth about how to live better for less, they would respond.

Many did and still do respond with deep respect and appreciation, most do understand that even tiny improvements, multiplied by millions of individual decisions can yield huge results, however, what we often lack is the motivation to make those decisions. This is where my life history figures so greatly into the perspectives I bring to my work. It has only been the last decade or so that the majority of people are beginning to realize that punishing the poor, although it is extremely easy because they rarely stand up for themselves, has been at the heart of the Republican revolution for decades. Shaming those who believe, either that they are worthy of more than they are getting or that they are contributing to the greater good through their personal sacrifices has become a way of life that is supported at every level by the oligarchy.

In my own experience, the ridicule and hate that was heaped upon me in the form of bullying was most often because my pants had holes, or my shirts were out of style, my holey shoes or long hair. All of which were the result of the triple-edged sword that was cutting into the heart of our family. Poverty, misogyny and corporate welfare tripled the odds against us and most other families headed by single mothers. Luckily, my mom took the time to teach my sister and I that we are worthwhile individuals and that no bully can take away our self respect...that is something we have to abandon for our selves. My father, who became a millionaire, probably several times over, had a commitment to our family (his two children) of $82.50 per month. Knowing that my worth, as calculated by the courts, was $41.25 per month, both confused and appalled me. Money, and my fathers own infatuation with it made him blind to our poverty. To keep our family together, and alive, my mom went to college to attempt to get us out of poverty, but as her income grew, costs stripped her gains away almost as soon as they accrued.

Giving to others has been a way of life in most of our family for generations. In spite of the ridicule, the hate and outward signs that we continue to get that we should be more ruthless, more authoritarian and more greedy, evidence to the contrary continues to mount. Just as I saw as a child, bullies don't care about anything but distracting themselves from the pain they are feeling inside. This is a fact of life. The only way forward, that I can see, is to confront bullying, power and control issues and misogyny, every single time we see it, in the most straight forward manner possible. These are the social aspects of environmentalism. I will continue to work for the betterment of all in whatever capacity I can. My current run for the U.S. house of Representatives from Wisconsin's 8th District, is a continuation of my life long effort to heal the rift between humankind and nature. We can do these things...we have the tools and technologies at our disposal, what we often lack is the will.

Not In Jail?

The way I was taught growing up, inciting violence or riot is against the law. The fact that Donald trump has not been arrested and brought to trial for his activities convinces me that our justice system has nothing to do with justice, but rather protection of the oligarchs and their excesses. Cases point to this all around our great nation. In the Frack-over territories, where toxic legacies are buried, just waiting to find fissures or cracked well casings that lead to our potable water are located. Scientists have determined that each and every bore hole (used for exploration) not to mention the high pressure well holes, through which vast amounts of energy are introduced, to hydraulically fracture bedrock are conduits for surface runoff to penetrate. Ironically, only recently, they found that they work in reverse as well, allowing toxic materials injected deep under the aquifer to bubble up into the best source of drinking and agricultural water available. How many of these folks bear the burden of the damage they cause when wells become unusable? We have seen the more than four moon venting of methane that took place in California. Homes that could not be occupied, sickness and lost time from work caused by an "accident", but who ever thought it was a good idea to create a man-made,  pressurized bubble of the stuff below the region? How much pressure had they put on the bedrock to force their penetrations to be breached? questions that some legal chicanery might make "classified" forever. flagrant violation of the rights of all of us are still able to create vast fortunes. Resorting to "the law" seems not to even be an option, or if it is, it can only act like a cloudy rear-view mirror.

I do not get easily taken in by conspiracy theories, however, I frequently see stupid all around me and it bears out complete and utter lack of understanding of basic physics, science and logic. There may not even be good record keeping about such information as how much pressure the well was under on a day to day basis. If there was, the corporation will claim that it is a protected trade secret.
The prestige that we grant offensive corporate groups, so wealthy that they can literally buy candidates, by funding campaigns. The oligarchy and their power and control over the media, investments, banking, insurance and militarism must end. We need to re-think security. Desperate people resort to desperate measures...we need to address desperation.

Ask everyone you meet, why is he not in jail?

Less Than Two Weeks...

This year, Wisconsin's Spring Election will be held April 5th. We have a choice between a hand-picked appointee of a Governor who is now experiencing less than a 37% approval rating and an experienced judge who has consistently exhibited the highest level of public service. The bulk of the oligarchs money has been spent propping up a State Supreme Court Justice, the same Chief Justice who submitted blank pages for two and a half years of appointments she was required to make available to the public. What can you expect from an appointee made by someone whose policies have consistently put the ship of state on the rocks? Those who are following the Governor of Wisconsin, and his reign estimate that even decades after he has left office, there will be repercussions and structural elements that will never be recovered.

There has been a great shift with the internet and the ability to network people far beyond the boundary of space and time, let us hope the fire catches enough, that we can install both Bernie Sanders to the White House and 469 Congressional leaders are sent to Washington who have caught the fire as well. WE THE PEOPLE! Have the right to govern our own affairs! Without the restrictions of traditional "bankers", the insurance and investment firms and their parasitic absorption of capital if for no other reason than to trade away our money as well as their own...The writing has been on the wall for decades, the big lie has overgrown the structure of our democracy and we need to prune back the bramble and get money out of politics!

A well known billionaire, who shall remain nameless has squandered most of about eight Billion dollars, trying to be posh enough as to b considered relevant. Fortunes were made and bigger fortunes were lost at this man's hand in the past. as a nation, are we to not consider the multiple failures his decisions have led to? are we to overlook the countless hopes and fortunes that have been dashed along with his own? This has got to be like when the little boy said "The Emperor wears no clothes!" in the old folk tale. We all see it right? When the frackers shunt three BTUs of energy into the Earth, to get five out, are there not better ways to spend that energy? Any candidate for public office that does not squarely honor the issues has got to go! In my District, Wisconsin's 8th, I am running as a strong supporter of Bernie Sanders, for the U.S. House of Representatives; those who would want to see Bernie win should love me! I have followed his career for all of these years and most people I have spoken with are either already on fire, or just as interested as you would expect, because Bernie makes sense!

If you know anyone living in Wisconsin's 8th District, Northeast Wisconsin, please, let them know I am running. To send money to the campaign, send to: Saladino 4 District 8 1446 Porlier street, Green Bay WI 54301 USA. I would love to discuss my values and why I am running for office at a campfire gathering. If you know anyone in Northeast Wisconsin, who is having a fire pit party, let me know, I would love to attend!

I have canoed most of the rivers in the district. It is where I left from and came home to on my Bicycle ride around the Great Lakes in 1987. The message people like Bernie and I have stays the same, the times change to meet us eventually. Bernie Sanders and i have both been talking the same talk, walking the same walk for three decades. History proves us right.

Within the circle, we are all one. We are each the locus of a dance of energy with the world around us. Those of us who openly accept that Bernie Sanders is the best choice, not only for America, but for the world, have got to do everything in our power to not only get him elected, but to get the Congress to shift as well, away from the money and to basic issues like universal healthcare, justice reform, free education and significant reductions in ridiculous military expenditures. Thrift has gone out of the conservatives lexicon, true conservation means investing in things that you know work. Austerity, as it is billed today is just a twist of the knife into our culture and economy that the crash of 2006 was. Punitive measures against those who cannot fight back is tyranny and We The People will not stand still for it!

Luckily, I knew how to live on nothing, because in 2006, I pretty much had to do it again, after all,
I was all in on real estate, but because my pockets were thin, I had three mortgages to pay, and barely cash flowing. It seemed that almost overnight, the home values dropped and continued until my investment was worth way less than I had into it. When I realized that three times 1/3 (30% loss) meant I only had two houses of value, but three mortgages to pay. I was shoveling the snow in front of the house we had planned to flip when I realized. Of course, old houses, you know, have more problems than solutions and we barely made it out with our only thing lost was a year of fixing it up as our side job. Not a penny for all those hours, but the house stands and is beautiful today for the work we did to it, so that is worth a lot.

The year prior to my taking my Great Lakes bicycle ride around the Great Lakes, I helped to restore a building that would have been condemned. That house still stands in the district, providing healthier habitat for hopefully healthier inhabitants! Our lives touch those of others in infinite ways, culture depends on that. I believe in the power of the give away. Too often, our culture allows the rich to take from the poor in more poignant ways than just fleecing them for the cash. (although, they do that too.)

In less than two weeks, we get to vote for campaign finance and tax reform, or we are sold to the highest bidder, that seems to be our choice. Find your local Bernie Sanders supporting candidate and do whatever you can to get them elected!

Age Of Illeism

Speaking in tongues, to some extent determines some of your thinking patterns, some bases of ideation and some blind spots. In the theater, we have a language of our own and there are fun poems written about them. One of my own favorites is that backstage is the only place you can strike the baby and kill the blonde. Baby is a lighting instrument and so is a blonde, striking it just means "put it away." We speak a certain tongue backstage. How we talk rules how we think, or at least hems in what we think we have competency over.  Things we are willing to think about and integrate.

We as a people, the human beings of this planet, need to grow exponentially if we are to survive as a species. No longer can we live under the oppressive reign of people who inherited the world and are intent on leaving it a lifeless cinder. Being able to speak with one voice on this matter requires that we all use the same language, or at least understand the terms, we all have to understand the same stuff and have words to talk about it.

When Nixon famously said, "You won't have Nixon to kick around anymore, it was meant to be an attack, and sounded like a three year old child disassociating from the part of himself that felt regret or shame over what he had done. (some believe to this day that he had no shame) His paranoia that led him to tape his office conversations ultimately backfired and got people looking into what kind of man he was.

Bob Dole did it and had to hire a speech coach to help him rid himself of the issue. Although it may not affected the way he thought about himself, it did mostly change the way he speaks about himself.

Julius Caesar did it and wasn't he supposed to be somehow endowed by the gods themselves to exert his power? The other J.C. has been revered by history as a great military leader, but people who had to work with him apparently disagreed. He was one of history's greatest narcissists. In his day, perhaps, it was a form of early branding.

Charles De Gaulle did it. As more of a way of formalizing a radio broadcast as if to verify that it was indeed him. I don't think that he was differentiating himself from himself, after all, radio was still in infancy during his formative years. Later,  he did stand up to many economic thinkers of his day and helped create the Trente Gloriouses through use of dirigist economic policies, in part because of his charisma and influence.  That requires humility and great leaders give the victories up to all those who helped accomplish them.

A handful of sports greats have exploited the marketability aspect of naming yourself, like a trademark. Bo Jackson, who had a hard time saying "I", Rickey Henderson, Pele and the Rock are are known far and wide by their image, and the cash flow baby because you're looking at 'em! So Pretentious that Salvador Dali used Illism to differentiate between the man himself and his persona. The person he wanted to be seen. Dali was highly influenced by psychology and rhetoricysms that were meant to be played with, purposefully.

I could have thrown Geraldo Rivera into the sports group because the passion that you see played out on the field or pitch is embodied in the way Geraldo reflects through his journalism. In his defense, have heard someone say that a third someone had been Geraldo Riveaed, so maybe he was referring to that guy.It is hard to say...

Jimmy (from Seinfeld) was an illistic creeper, meant to scare people

Elmo is scary until you understand that he's supposed to be three

Now The Donald and The Hillary. I'm sure there are a few rappers out there who are doin' a double take! One mo' ting crackers gotta be right on up in here stealin' frum us! Sheeite! Ain' NO WAY homey gonna play that!

I'm right yo! Feel it! It ain't right yo! B-live it!

If we understand that Trump has squandered nearly six billions to make as much of a name for himself as he has and with only 2.2 Billion left, how much longer will he be able to afford to remain relevant? It disgusts me to think that a man who knows that he's just a brand, could be followed by the sixty percent of Republicans who are voting for him. (13.8 % of the populace) In states where primaries remain, the people are on to him. Inciting riot and mayhem cannot be tolerated by major parties. I'm still not sure if you can say, categorically that referring to yourself in the third person is the reflection of associative disorders or narcissistic tendencies, but the likelihood goes way up! That's all I'm sayin'.
