I accept that everyone is who they are for a reason. I accept that they have the same rights as they do. However, it is my choice as to whether to tolerate them within my sphere of influence. I accept them, but I don't have to tolerate them. Give me a reason for my tolerance to be used up and you're kicked to the curb. I still accept that you have a right to live and try to be happy, but that doesn't mean I have to put up with you. angel

Unions in the early 20th century were great for workers' basic rights to a safe work-place, like making a job a way to make a living instead of making a dying (ala the coal-mining industry). However, by the mid-'20th Century, they became a way for organized crime to launder money through pension plans at the expense of the people who depended on their pensions to live comfortably after breaking their backs for industry.

I'm sorry your family suffered because of Unions, Bebe. I feel much the same for the Local Sign-workers Union who were busted in the mid-'70's and then lost all their pension holdings in the Keating five scandal.

Definitely anti-union here, although I think government should still regulate worker-safety. thumbs up

People can think what they like about his life, but he has ended at the same place where we all must travel. In that, we should all allow him his place, as he may or may not deserve.

SensualVixen: Knowledge is not always through books, and not all learned as a child. I gave an example in an earlier post.

When I was a child my mother told me not to touch the stove burner since it was hot. I touched it, as most children do, and she was right. It was hot! I then learned not to touch a hot burner again, and I certainly didn't learn it from a book, plus it was a good learning experience.


Knowledge is acquired theory, however it is gained. Wisdom is practical experience of theory. This is what I meant by my post. I shall leave you all to debate in a vacuum about the quibbling details. roll eyes

Knowledge is book-learning. We acquire knowledge as children. Wisdom is only gained through experience.

The true test is to acquire wisdom with our knowledge without that knowledge becoming toxic.

lorax888: This painting has been stolen several times ,,,,, usualy you are a man of many words , why so few today? The painting is great and saids a lot on its own. You did not answer the question of why.

It's an impressionist masterpiece. Most Impressionists had trouble conveying legitimate emotion in their work. This painting expresses despair in a way that seems genuine to me without falling into the realm of melodrama like so many other impressionist paintings.

Yes, the emotion is over the top. But the painting is for the most part an abstract and conveys the landscape almost as a dream-scape. When we're in the midst of a dream, the melodrama doesn't seem so contrived. Same with this painting.
