So we could discuss the philosophical directives behind this blog?
Some discuss the soaps from the night before.
Some just grunt and laugh.
So tell me - does an election count as an event or people?
Grest!! Who shall we discuss today?
When do we start?
in a thinly(!) veiled/personal way.
That's what brought the quote to mind; I posted it.
I'd like to think it'll get bloggers thinking about their subjects.
I guess it's an open secret that we've had three rather prominent such instances over the past three weekends.
Bali's comments on the most recent implied that it doesn't reflect well on the blogs...
or the whole site.
I agree with her.
Blogger are, of course, free to select their subjects.
Current events is good to know about what's going on in other countries.
Also health food..nature and the environment add animals.
Some astronomical events and life on other planets.
The laws of the universe ...etc. .
Oh never mind my mind is too small...
Yes, Min. I already knew all that.
Elections are events. In which people are involved. I think.
Last Republican debate...
The honorable gentlemen referred to one another, respectively, as...
Little Marco
Lyin' Ted
Big Don
The Donald used the words 'lie' 'lies' or 'liar' sixty-some times.
One of his esteemed colleagues pointed out that his hands are small...
and suggested other of his parts may be similarly size-challenged.
At the halfway point, a news commentator compacted it to a South American Soccer Match.
My father-in-law is a retired state supreme court justice,
and a conservative Republican.
I would've LOVED to have watched the debate with him!!
Yes. A very good thing to keep in mind.
That comment might've belonged on Avias's historical quotes blog.
Are. Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield also had many famous ones
As well. As did Dolly Parton and Zsa Zsa Gabor.
I often wonder about women getting the votes
I mean lf there was a debate or referendum to propose equality and they
Had a say ln lt sure then they already Had The Vote
A bit like the chicken and the egg
So great minds have both great weed and great PAs at hand at all times
Just sayin'.

(see my comment above).
Seriously,

This is one of those forks in the road with me. I neither want to be married/chained to an old hen sitting by the fence all day gossiping (such as politics) nor discussing the latest circus 24 hours 7 days a week. When events get discussed, usually it’s my experience, conversation turns on the persons involved. “Obama Health Plan” for example of an (important) event falling into a hen party. Fix the problem and not the blame is too high minded for many, including those with the hubris trying to fix the credit before solving the problem.
(Dear Madame First lady) I do not know about “great minds” discussing ideas. That sounds a little self-serving to me, and I am far from a great mind. But discussing ideas – using the fertile human imagination, knowledge accumulated from history, a consultative approach to managing; and being open to creative solutions for change – is a self-awareness, a mindfulness that separates the capability of the human mind from animals.
Everyone is capable to discuss ideas. Not many do because they are out of practice. To discuss an idea, one must first have his or her own ideas and the intellectual honesty to explore them.
A great mind is no different from a small mind: it is use that demonstrates its function.
I cannot fathom any woman being satisfied with me as her life partner if she cannot follow, or was simply too disinterested in, a conversation centred on ideas such as I would have with her. This process of fully developing our ideas on life, to come to a better understanding of what’s going on around us and the life we live, is what I consider to be intimacy. This is why I stress this aspect of myself in my profile and on the communication platforms on this site.
