The hint of the century.  Consider THIS:= This country is operating under selective anarchy.  The people who have been in charge because they were superior, supposedly, and were actually just the most brutal, are now acting as though they are not part of the social contract. Selective Anarchy.  J...

...is a problem half solved.  This post, you might be surprised, is going to be filled with pronouncements that SSG Murphy has said need to be addressed in order to have the peace and sharing communities of the future we desire.  This society we have broken built on lies and false modesty, false ...

...playing on the radio. The DJ says Love's a game of easy come, and easy go. But I wonder, what does he know? Has he ever felt like this? And I know that you'd be here right now, If I'd have found the words somehow... This is our vanity:  That we think we should have…

If you have never argued with yourself, we are not speaking to you.  If you have, we are speaking to the part that lost. The neuroscience is clear that we are not single entities but a collective of organisms that share a body. Those of you who get angry at the idea of non-binary personalities,&h...
