YEARLY UPDATE TO THE TEA ROOM

FOR ALL NEW READERS: ABOUT THE TEA ROOM

1- I MODERATE ALL COMMENTS.
VERY FEW MAKE IT TO THE INTENDED POSTS.
WHY?

~ I DELETE ANONYMOUS COMMENTS.
IF YOU USE A PSEUDONYM, THAT'S FINE, BUT NO ANONYMOUS.
RARELY, ONE WILL ESCAPE ME AS I MAY HIT THE WRONG BUTTON, BUT RARELY.

~ I DELETE COMMENTS LACED WITH EXTREME VULGARITIES.
MY GRANDCHILDREN SOMETIMES READ HERE; NO NEED TO FEED THEM GARBAGE. MILD EXPLETIVES ARE PASSABLE, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY OWN POSTS.

~ I DELETE ALL COMMENTS WITH HYPERLINKS TO BUSINESSES, "SERVICES", PORN OR DATING SITES, ETC, OR TO OFF-TOPIC VIDEOS.
GIVE IT UP, YOU WHO KEEP TRYING, IT'LL NEVER POST HERE.

THAT LEAVES FEW COMMENTS THAT I'LL PASS, BUT JUST AS I DON'T ALLOW ADVERTISEMENTS, I DIDN'T CREATE THIS BLOG FOR POPULARITY.

2- I DON'T ALLOW THIS BLOG TO BE 'COUNTED', DON'T ALLOW 'ROBOT CRAWLERS', NOTHING THAT WILL MAKE THIS BLOG SEEM "POPULAR."
IT'S HERE FOR 'INCONVENIENT TRUTHS'.

IF YOU EVER SEE A 'COUNT' OF MY BLOG ANYWHERE, LET ME KNOW.
IT WILL STOP, OR SO SAYS MY ATTORNEY.

3- SOME SAY I USE AN 'ALTERNATIVE NEWS STYLE'.
I USE WHAT I PLEASE AND DON'T CARE WHO LIKES IT.
NOBODY IS FORCED TO READ HERE, NOBODY GOT AN INVITATION TO THIS WEBSITE.
DON'T LIKE IT? DON'T COME BACK.
MY BLOG, MY WAY.

4- ALL CAPS. I LIKE ALL CAPS BUT I'M ALSO 'HALF BLIND'.
IT'S SIMPLY EASIER AND FASTER TO USE CAPS.
AFTER OVER 60 YEARS TYPING, I STILL 'HUNT AND PECK'.
SCREW "QWERTYUIOP".

NOW AND THEN, ON 'GOOD DAYS', I MAY DO A BLOG WITHOUT ALL CAPS, BUT RARELY.

5- HIGHLIGHTED, COLORED AND BOLD TEXT.
WHY?
FOR 'INFLECTION'. SEE DEFINITION AT WEBSTER'S.
SINCE WE CAN'T SPEAK FACE-TO-FACE, I CAN'T 'STRESS' WORDS ANY OTHER WAY.
YES, SOMETIMES I OVERDO IT.
WHINING ABOUT IT WON'T CHANGE HOW I TYPE.

HANDING ME THAT BULLSH*T ABOUT "INTERNET ETIQUETTE" WILL DO NOTHING TO CHANGE IT AND I'LL JUST THINK, "WHAT A %#@& JERK. I'M 70+ YEARS OLD AND DO AS I BLOODY WELL PLEASE."

6- I ABHOR ALL POLITICIANS EQUALLY, THOUGH IT MAY NOT APPEAR THAT I DO.
I CURSE ALL POLITICAL PARTIES AS CREATIONS TO KEEP THIS NATION IN A CONSTANT STATE OF CIVIL WAR.
I SEE ALL IN CONGRESS AS CHEAP WHORES, SOLD OUT TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
TRUTH WOULD CHOKE THEM TO DEATH IF THEY TOLD IT AND HONOR WILL NEVER BE A CONCEPT THEY UNDERSTAND.

THEY ALL SWORE TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION AND PROMISED TO BE FAITHFUL SERVANTS TO US, "WE, THE PEOPLE".

THEY PROMISED TO PROTECT AMERICA AGAINST ALL ENEMIES, FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC... NOT ENGAGE US IN UNDECLARED WARS ALL ACROSS THE GLOBE AGAINST PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT OUR ENEMIES UNTIL WE MADE THEM SO.

THEY LIED ON ALL COUNTS.

AS IS SAID IN THE SOUTH, "I WOULDN'T RAISE A LEG TO PISS ON THEM IF THEY WERE ON FIRE AND MY BLADDER WAS ABOUT TO BURST."

7- APPLY #6 TO MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND MULTIPLY THAT BY TWO.
WOULDN'T INSULT MY BACKSIDE BY USING ANY MAJOR NEWSPAPER IN AMERICA  AS TOILET PAPER.
I GREW UP PULLING NEWS OFF THOSE OLD TELETYPE MACHINES AT MY FATHER'S RADIO STATIONS IN THE 1950s, AND SAW THEN HOW QUICKLY 'NEWS' WAS CHANGED BY THE AP AND UPI, HOW STORIES WERE 'SPUN', MANIPULATED, 'KILLED' WITHIN A MINUTE SOMETIMES.
ONE FINE DAY, THE TOP NEWS ANNOUNCER GATHERED ALL THOSE 'KILLED' NEWS ITEMS AND READ THEM LIVE, ON AIR. I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM.
STILL, MOST NEWS THEN WAS GOOD JOURNALISM.

I'M OFTEN ALMOST RELIEVED THAT MY DAD, YOUNGER BROTHER, UNCLES AND ALL THE DEDICATED RADIO AND NEWSPAPER JOURNALISTS I GREW UP ADMIRING DIDN'T LIVE TO SEE THE MANURE THAT PASSES FOR NEWS NOW.
THEY ACHIEVED THEIR EXCELLENCE WITHOUT THE AID OF COMPUTERS OR INTERNET SEARCHES, BUT THEY WERE DEDICATED TO PROVIDING TRUTH TO THOSE THEY SERVED, EVEN IF THEY HAD TO RISK LIFE AND LIMB AND DRIVE 500 MILES TO GET IT.
MOST SETTLED FOR NO LESS.

I TRY TO DISCOVER FACTS BY 'GOING TO THE PEOPLE' WHERE NEWS IS MADE, LOCAL NEWS SOURCES, EVEN CALLING LOCAL OFFICIALS AND RANDOM PEOPLE SOMEONE MAY KNOW.
EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS ARE BEST.

EVEN THEN, I QUESTION EVERYTHING, CHECK AND DOUBLE-CHECK, DIG UNTIL NOTHING REMAINS TO DIG INTO.

I NEVER USE GOOGLE AS A SEARCH ENGINE, NOR BING.

I OFTEN USE FOREIGN LANGUAGE SEARCHES, JUST IN CASE THERE'S NO TRANSLATION.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR MORE CONTENT LIKE YOU FIND ON YOUR FAVORITE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, THIS IS THE WRONG PLACE.

AS I SAID RECENTLY TO A SELF-BLINDED MAINSTREAM MEDIA FANATIC, I DON'T CARE IF TRUTH COMES OUT OF HELL VIA SATAN, JUST GET TO THE TRUTH.

YES, I READ SPUTNIK, TASS, RUSSIA TODAY, AL JAZEERA, 3 ISRAELI SOURCES ONLINE, BBC, GUARDIAN-UK, SEVERAL "UNKNOWNS" IN SOUTH AMERICA AND EUROPE, ASIA (ESPECIALLY JAPAN TIMES AND ASAHI SHIMBUN), A DAILY NEWS FROM EGYPT, AUSTRALIAN '7NEWS' AND OTHERS OUT OF AUSTRALIA, IRISH TIMES, SEVERAL IN CANADA, TWO FROM MEXICO, AND AFRICANEWS.

I READ NOTHING BUT FOREIGN NEWS MEDIA FROM ABOUT 2 a.m. EACH MORNING UNTIL ABOUT 10 a.m.

AFTER CHORES, I READ NATIONAL NEWS FROM USUALLY 2 p.m. UNTIL IT STARTS BEING REDUNDANT OR UNTIL  2 a.m. ARRIVES, AS I AM A LIFELONG, HAPPY INSOMNIAC WHO REQUIRES THE MOST MINIMAL SLEEP.

I READ NEWS EXCEPT ON WEEKENDS. THOSE ARE RESERVED FOR OTHER STUDIES.
I FEEL THAT I AM WELL READ RE:NEWS, CURRENT AFFAIRS, EVEN 'SCANDALS'.

I'VE HAD A FAIR SHARE OF READERS SUGGEST I AM A CONSPIRACY THEORIST. 
Conspiracy theory is a term that was originally a neutral descriptor for any claim of civil, criminal or political conspiracy.
 To conspire means “to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or to use such means to accomplish a lawful end.” 
 The term “conspiracy theory” is frequently used by scholars and in popular culture to identify secret military, banking, or political actions aimed at stealing power, money, or freedom, from “the people”.

SO,YEAH, WELL, ARE CONSPIRACY THEORIES JUST CRAZY IDEAS SOME FOLKS HAVE?

LET'S TRY HISTORY TO SEE.

MOST SAID FDR DIDN'T KNOW THE JAPANESE WOULD BOMB PEARL HARBOR, OR THAT A COUP WAS ATTEMPTED TO TAKE FDR OUT (THE BUSINESS PLOT).
MOST MAY DOUBT THAT OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD EVER WELCOME FORMER NAZIS TO AMERICA TO HEAD OUR SPACE PROGRAM, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES AND OUR NATIONAL 'RESEARCH LABS (operation paperclip) , OR USE OUR ENLISTED MEN (AND THE REST OF US) AS HUMAN GUINEA PIGS, NOR WOULD WE EVER BE SPIED ON AND BE UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE, THAT INTELLIGENCE EXPERTS WOULD WRITE SUCH A THING AS THE REPORT FROM IRON MOUNTAIN (SAYING THAT WORLD PEACE WOULD NEVER BE ACCEPTABLE),  THAT THE CIA WOULD NEVER DO SUCH THINGS AS OPERATION GLADIO, MK-Ultra, PROJECT MOCKINGBIRD, ENGAGE IN DEALING DRUGS IN LOS ANGELES AND ARKANSAS, CREATE A 'HEART ATTACK GUN' THAT GOLDWATER REVEALED TO THE WORLD ALONG WITH A LONG LIST OF PEOPLE THE CIA HAD ASSASSINATED (SEE CHURCH COMMITTEE) ,THAT OUR MILITARY WOULDN'T STOOP TO SOMETHING LIKE OPERATION KEELHAUL, OPERATION NORTHWOODS, OR KILLING CIVILIANS FOR SPORT IN IRAQ, OR USING DEPLETED URANIUM IN AMMO & MISSILES,  THAT THE FBI INFILTRATED AND MANIPULATED THE WOMEN'S RIGHTS MOVEMENT, VIET NAM PROTEST GROUPS, THE NAACP, MARTIN LUTHER KING'S GROUP.
IMPOSSIBLE TO THINK THAT A PRESIDENT WOULD EVER OKAY SUCH A THING AS IRAN-CONTRA, WATERGATE, THE GULF OF TONKIN AFFAIR, FAST AND FURIOUS, OVERTHROW R KILL DULY-ELECTED HEADS OF NATIONS.
SURELY NO DRUG COMPANIES ALLOWED KNOWN CONTAMINANTS IN VACCINES NOR WOULD OUR FDA APPROVE UNTESTED, KNOWN HARMFUL MEDICINES, AND LET'S NOT FORGET ASBESTOS.
WEREN'T THE ENRON COVER-UP AND THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY'S LIES, OR GEORGE W. BUSH'S LIES ABOUT WMDs BELIEVABLE?
HISTORY NOW TELLS US THAT THOSE ALLEGED 'SMALLPOX BLANKETS' WERE REAL, WERE USED MANY TIMES AGAINST INDIANS, AND YES, SOME OF THE FOUNDING FATHERS DID KEEP 'BREEDING BOOKS' ON THEIR SLAVES AND THAT CERTAINLY DNA EVIDENCE SHOWS JEFFERSON SIRED A FEW CHILDREN BY AT LEAST ONE OF HIS SLAVES.

ALL THOSE WERE CONSIDERED CONSPIRACY THEORIES BEFORE THEY WERE PROVEN TO BE AND ARE KNOWN NOW TO BE CONSPIRACY FACTS.
PEOPLE CONSPIRED TO COMMIT HORRIBLE ACTS, ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL. INCONVENIENT TRUTHS, PERHAPS, BUT TRUTHS NONETHELESS.

WHY DO I READ SO MUCH?
BECAUSE LOVE OF BOOKS WAS INSTILLED IN ME BY AGE 4 AND I'M ALSO JUST ABOUT 'CHAIR-BOUND', SO READING HELPS PASS THE TIME I USED TO SPEND OUTDOORS. BUT I MANAGE SEVERAL SETS OF EXERCISE A DAY/NIGHT TO AVOID THOSE NASTY BLOOD CLOTS THAT COME FROM TOO MUCH SITTING.
IT HAS ITS PLUSES, BEING SO CONFINED, AND IT'S EASY TO FOCUS ON THOSE AND BE CONTENT.

8- YES, I AM A 'TREE-HUGGING HIPPIE', A 'NATURE FREAK', A JOHN MUIR 'WORSHIPER', ETC.
AS SUCH, AND ALSO BECAUSE I LOST THREE PEOPLE WHOM I LOVED WITH ALL MY HEART TO THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY RADIATION, I TRULY HATE NUCLEAR ANYTHING.

EVER SINCE I SAT AND LISTENED TO OPPENHEIMER REGRET THAT HE'D HELPED BRING IT UPON THE WORLD, HEARD JOHN GOFMAN EXPLAIN WHY HE HATED IT (TWO OF THE GREAT MINDS OF THE MANHATTAN PROJECT), AND HEARD THE STORIES ONE UNCLE TOLD WHO WORKED IN THE 'NUCLEAR INDUSTRY', RADIATION HAS BEEN AN ABOMINATION TO ME.

THIS SHOULD EXPLAIN MY MANY, MANY ARTICLES ON THE CURSED 'NUCLEAR ENERGY', NUCLEAR 'ACCIDENTS'.

9- YES, I AM AN ANIMAL LOVER, ADMITTEDLY TO THE POINT THAT I WOULD BE HONESTLY HARD-PRESSED TO DECIDE WHOM TO RESCUE IF BOTH AN ANIMAL AND AN UNKNOWN ADULT HUMAN WERE IN GRIEVOUS PERIL AND ONE WOULD HAVE TO DIE IF I COULD RESCUE ONLY ONE. IF IT WERE A CHILD AND NOT AN ADULT, I'D SAVE THE CHILD.
IT'S A FLAW IN MY CHARACTER, PERHAPS, BUT I HAD TO FACE THE FACT AT A VERY EARLY AGE THAT SOME (NOT ALL) HUMANS ARE THE MOST VICIOUS PREDATORS, THE MOST TERRIBLE MONSTERS ON EARTH.
IT DEVELOPED FROM THERE AS I ACQUIRED 'PETS' AND WAS BLESSED TO STUDY MARINE BIOLOGY.
HOWEVER, ORGANIZATIONS LIKE 'PETA', THE 'HUMANE SOCIETY', 'SPCA' ARE 'SWORN ENEMIES' BECAUSE THEY USE ANIMALS TO MAKE PROFITS AND FILM THEIR SUFFERING TO MAKE BIGGER PROFITS.

10- BECAUSE OF ALL THE ABOVE AND ALL MY FLAWS AND FAILINGS TO TRULY "LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF", I CANNOT, WITH CLEAR CONSCIENCE, CALL MYSELF A REAL CHRISTIAN, WHICH IS SOMEONE WHOM WE CAN LOOK AT AND SEE A LIKENESS OF THE CHRIST, WHOM I DO 'BELIEVE IN', BUT I AM SOLIDLY FOR CHRISTIANS, IF THEY ARE REAL. 
I MADE A LIFELONG STUDY OF ALL THE EARTH'S 'RELIGIONS', TOOK WORLD RELIGIONS AS A 'MINOR' IN COLLEGE, STILL READ ALONG THOSE LINES ALL WEEKEND, EVERY WEEKEND.
I ONCE SET OUT TO 'PROVE' THAT ALL RELIGIONS WERE MERELY MYTHS.
THAT WAS A FOOLISH GOAL AND, TRY AS I MIGHT TO ATTAIN IT, I HAD TO ADMIT I WAS WRONG, IN THE CASE FOR CHRISTIANITY.

11- I AM ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT TO THE BONE.
I LIKE INDEPENDENCE TOO MUCH TO SEE THE NEED TO BE GOVERNED.
HUMANS DID WELL ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT KINGS AND OTHER RULERS FOR A LONG,. LONG TIME AND WERE SURELY HAPPIER THAN WE ARE TODAY.

WHEN BUSH, JR,WAS IN OFFICE, MANY ACCUSED ME OF BEING DEMOCRAT.
WHEN OBAMA REIGNED, MANY SAID I WAS REPUBLICAN, WHILE OTHERS SAW ME DEFENDING HIM.
BEFORE TRUMP WAS 'ELECTED' BY THE CURSED ELECTORAL COLLEGE, WHICH I DESPISE, I OFTEN WROTE WORSE 'RANTS' AGAINST HIM THAN I DID HILLARY.

BUT TO MY ASTONISHMENT, EVEN AFTER DEMOCRATS SEVERELY AND INCESSANTLY LECTURED TRUMP THAT HE'D HAVE TO ACCEPT AN "ELECTORAL LOSS", WHO WENT ABSOLUTELY CRAZY WHEN HILLARY LOST?

IT DEFIED THE IMAGINATION.

THAT HAD NOT HAPPENED WHEN GORE WON THE POPULAR VOTE BUT LOST TO BUSH, JR. EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE KNEW GORE WAS CHEATED OUT OF THE FLORIDA WIN BECAUSE JEB BUSH WAS IN CHARGE DOWN THERE, BUSH CRONIES CONTROLLED THE LUDICROUS SEARCH FOR 'HANGING CHADS' AND 'ASSOCIATES OF CHENEY' (aka, CHENEY) OWNED THE DAMNED VOTING MACHINES.
NO RIOTS, NO SCREAMING 'SUICIDE VIDEOS', NO BEATING GOP SUPPORTERS IN THE STREETS, NO 4-YEAR CALLS FOR BUSH'S DEATH OR IMPEACHMENT, EVEN WHEN HE LIED ABOUT IRAQ AND 'WMDs'... NONE OF THAT!

THE HYPOCRISY AND BLIND FANATICISM OF BOTH 'PARTIES' ASTOUNDS ME.
IT DEFIES ALL LOGIC AND REASON.

THE CURRENT LEVEL OF HATRED I SEE IN AMERICA TODAY, BECAUSE OUR NATION IS DIVIDED JUST ABOUT 50-50 BY 'PARTY LINES', IS UNPRECEDENTED. 

IF TRUMP WINS, WE'LL SEE WAR IN THE STREETS AND HEAR WAILINGS THAT RUSSIA INTERFERED.
IF HE LOSES, WE'LL PROBABLY ALSO SEE WAR IN THE STREETS, THOUGH WE DIDN'T WHEN OBAMA BECAME KING.

12- THE HYPOCRISY OF THE CRIES OF "RACISM".
RACISM HAS EXISTED SINCE THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE RACE AND IT EXISTS IN EVERY RACE AND, LIKELY, ALWAYS WILL, BECAUSE OF HUMAN PRIDE.
EVERYONE LIKES TO THINK 'THEIR PEOPLE' ARE THE BEST.
EVERY RACE WANTS TO BE 'TOP OF THE HEAP'.
MY LONG-TIME READERS KNOW THAT I ENJOY ( I ADMIT I DO) "RACE-BAITING WHITE FOLKS" BY A FEW YEARLY REFERENCES TO EUROPEAN INVADERS WHO COMMITTED THE 'AMERICAN GENOCIDE' AGAINST MY ANCESTORS, THE 'NOBLE SAVAGES', THE 'RED MAN'.
I CAN TURN OUT A REAL HOOT OF A 'RANT' ON THAT TOPIC AND DO SO JUST TO SHOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE SPOKEN OF AS A HEINOUS, INFERIOR LOT OF  UNWELCOME CRIMINALS AND KILLERS.
IT CAN GET UGLY.

BUT UGLY IS GOOD IF IT DRIVES HOME A POINT...WE ARE ALL CREATED EQUAL AND WE'VE ALL HAD EQUAL RIGHTS EVER SINCE THE CONSTITUTION WAS RATIFIED AND SLAVES WERE FREED.
NOBODY IN AMERICA IS MORE "SPECIAL" THAN THE NEXT GUY.
NEITHER IS ANYBODY LESS THAN THE NEXT. 

I RECALL THE VERY YEAR THAT SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS, OVERNIGHT, BECAME REPUBLICANS, WHOM THEY HAD SPAT ON FOR 100 YEARS.
IT WAS ALL OVER JFK GETTING THE NOD FROM THE DNP.

I WAS VERY AWARE WHEN THE KKK REFUSED TO ALLOW REPUBLICANS TO JOIN, BUT THE NEXT WEEK THEY WERE REPUBLICANS AND WERE RECRUITING FROM AMONGST THE GOP VOTERS.

OUR HISTORY BOOKS IN THE 1950s WERE PROUD THAT ALL THOSE CONFEDERATE STATUES WERE OF "NOBLE DEMOCRATS".
LONG AFTER THE PARTIES FLIP-FLOPPED, "OLD DIXIE" STILL PROUDLY WAVED IN THE YARDS OF THOSE 'CONVERTED' REPUBLICANS, WHO USED TO BE DEMOCRATS.

HOW CAN IT ESCAPE ANYONE WHO CAN READ AT 5th GRADE LEVEL THAT TWO OF WHAT WERE CALLED THE MOST RACIST GOVERNORS IN AMERICA, GEORGE WALLACE AND ROSS BARNETT, WERE BOTH DEMOCRATS?

WHO CAN DOUBT THAT THE "BLACK PANTHERS" WERE FREAKING RACISTS FROM THE START, THAT THE 'MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD' IS, THE KKK, GANGS INFILTRATING THE U.S. FROM MEXICO AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER MORE SUBTLE ORGANIZATIONS WITHIN ETHNIC GROUPS HERE.

I SEE NO CURE FOR IT AND I'VE LOOKED HARD FOR ONE.

13- PEDOPHILES, CHILD MOLESTERS/ABUSERS WILL NEVER, EVER BE WELCOME IN THE TEA ROOM.
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE I AM FOR CHILDREN, ALWAYS, ALL CHILDREN, EVERY SINGLE ONE.

BY THE WAY, I DON'T CARE IF ONE 'IDENTIFIES' AS FEMALE, MALE, NEUTRAL OR AS A SPOTTED OWL, NO CHILD UNDER THE AGE OF 18 SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO SEX-CHANGE, AND, TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST, I DON'T THINK 90-95% OF HUMANS ARE CAPABLE OF MAKING SANE, RATIONAL, COMPLETELY LOGICAL DECISIONS LIKE THAT UNTIL THEY'RE 40.
TOO MUCH HORMONAL AND 'SUPER-EGO/ID' INTERFERENCE, TOO LITTLE COMMON SENSE AND PROPER EDUCATION, TOO MUCH "I WANT" AND NOT NEARLY ENOUGH "WHAT'S REALLY, REALLY BEST FOR ME IN THE LONG RUN".

THINK BACK...HOW MANY WANTED TO GROW UP TO BE ONE THING TODAY AND ANOTHER THING THE NEXT DAY, AND YET ANOTHER THING AT AGE 18, 21?

HOW MANY FOUND "TRUE LOVE" AT AGE 15 AND WANTED TO MAYBE PAR-BROIL THAT LOVE WITHIN A YEAR AND INVITE NEW LOVE OVER FOR DINNER?

SO NO, NO CHEMICAL CASTRATIONS, NO HORMONE THERAPY TO BEGIN THE REVERSAL PROCESS UNTIL THAT KID'S HEAD CLEARS MAYBE YEARS AFTER PUBERTY.
SURE, SURE, LET THEM WEAR WHATEVER CLOTHES THEY LIKE, CALL THEMSELVES BY A NEW NAME, ETC, BUT NO TO STRIPPING THEM OF ANYTHING THEY JUST MIGHT WISH THEY HAD BACK IN 10 OR 20 YEARS.
PEOPLE CHANGE. WAIT FOR THEIR FINAL CHANGE. BE SURE, NOT SORRY.


14- WE EACH HAVE AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT TO OUR PERSONAL WORLD VIEW, OUR BELIEFS, OUR CHOSEN PHILOSOPHIES, EVERYTHING.
UNDERLINE EACH... MAKE IT ALL, AND DON'T FORGET THAT.

IF YOU WANT TO LIVE AS A HERMIT, SOCIAL BUTTERFLY, CHRISTIAN, ATHEIST, DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN, NONE OF THE ABOVE, OR AS A POLLIWOG IN A MOUNTAIN STREAM, GO FOR IT!
SO WILL ALL THE REST OF US. 
BUT REMEMBER...FIRST, DO NO HARM. 
SECONDLY, STAY OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS, TEND ONLY TO YOUR OWN.
STAY BUSY PERFECTING SELF.

THIRD, THE SUN IS THE CENTER OF OUR GALAXY, NOT ME, NOT YOU.
WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S AT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE, BUT IT 'AIN'T' ME AND IT AIN'T YOU.
STAY HUMBLE.

AS MUCH AS YOU CAN, BE AT PEACE.
ALLOW OTHERS TO HAVE PEACE AS WELL.

WE'RE ALL SPECIAL IN SOME WAY OR WAYS, BUT NO ONE IS MORE SPECIAL THAN OTHERS.

WE EACH HAVE ONE JUST PLANET TO EXIST ON, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, ONE DAY APPOINTED TO LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND AND BE NO MORE HERE.

TREASURE EVERY MINUTE.

IF YOU'RE STILL READING, WELCOME TO THE TEA ROOM. 

MY BLOG, MY WAY, A PLACE WHERE I TRY TO LEARN SO I DO NOT PERISH IN IGNORANCE, WHERE I LEAVE SOME THOUGHTS AND INFORMATION FOR ANYONE WHO HAPPENS BY. 

DO I WANT EVERY READER TO AGREE WITH ME, ACCEPT WHAT I WRITE AS INFALLIBLE FACT?

HELL NO! 

I CAN BE WRONG.
SO CAN YOU. 
WHAT I WRITE IS HOW I SEE THINGS, THROUGH MY OWN EYES, AND YOU CAN'T LOOK AT ANYTHING EXCEPT THROUGH YOUR EYES. 

BUT IF ANY WORD HELPS TO MAKE YOU QUESTION EVERYTHING, SEEK MORE KNOWLEDGE, FEEL THAT YOU CAN HANDLE ANY TRUTH JUST FINE, OR THAT THERE ARE WRONGS IN THIS WORLD THAT YOU CAN HELP MAKE RIGHT, THEN COLOR ME CONTENT.
