What I mean by that is when your alone, are you the same person you are when others are around? we all have secrets from our past or our present, and we would bare face lie to protect that secret or secrets, so do them secrets stop us from being what we truly are! or do we lie our whole existence? so far in my life I have lied, what about you?

"There is no such thing, at this date of the world's history, or in America,
(new world they still called it) as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar weekly salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. (just like he was not long after this speech) If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press? We are the tools and vassals of rich men BEHIND THE SCENES. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities, and our lives are all the property of other men. We are no more than INTELLECTUAL PROSTITUTES." - John Swinton, former New York Times Chief of Staff (1883 and the speech he's most famous for, they now say is a fake! how convenient) All these years later, do you think things has changed? or got worse? more control or less control? In lies we trust so much. And how fortunate for all governments that the people they administer, don't think for themselves. That's why the great masses of the people of this world. will easily fall victims to the promise of a better tomorrow from there governments, year after year after year after year...
You get the picture, of course you do it happens to us EVERY YEAR, and it will never change, cause we the people do FU-KIN NOTHING!! take a look around people, all over the world, does it look like there out to help the people? or themselves? plenty of money in the budget for private developers! just what the homeless need isn't it? come on people what do we do? when is enough, a fu-kin enough! our COUNTRY is suffering! all counties are suffering, what happened to that Irish spirit, when did they crush that human spirit, we once had. The same shits going on all over, have they finally broken us, without us even knowing! you know once we where all WARRIORS, once the world was FREE. Do we rise as a free people! or do we stay the SLAVES we are accustomed too. Why do we let this happen? this world belongs to all of us not just the few that run it.

Why do people post links to videos and articles supporting their, quite often crackpot, views as if it's some kind of authoritative confirmation when it's just as easy to find videos and articles that say the opposite?

Wasnt the school shooting in florida devestating enough! Now we have an
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT/DACA RECIPIENT
ARRESTED FOR MAKING THREATS IN NEW YORK for threateningTO SHOOT UP ANOTHER SCHOOL?! And these are the people your trying to save when our own is going through enough?
You can call these criminals /illegals dreamers but you forget about your own not to mention puerto ricos devestation last year!
WHAT ABOUT AMERICAN KIDS THAT HAS DREAMS TO0!?
These illegals break law from the border and commit crimes and in return get free food, free housing, free education, the tax free life sending money home to build their economy while taking advantage of ours! Not to mention burdening our welfare system like america is your personal Atm creating debt upon debt for country cant even respect by speaking english and following the laws! And now you want to talk about dreams! there are a whole lot of people who came to america the legal way and and have dreams as well and its not fair to those who do the right thing
AMERICA WELCOMES IMMIGRANTS WHO COME HERE LEGALLY! If someone breaks in your house are you going to neglect your own family to feed them or have them jailed like a criminal should..And dont tell me that these are people who came here as kids because if they valued america there wouldnt be so much crime against americans! But then again why wouldnt you take advantage of a country you say is stupid anyway! Americans are not dumb but AMERICANS BETTER WAKE UP or instead of America first this will continue to be mexico first! Break a law in their country and see if they are as kind! Good luck on that

Lots of forum/blogging on our interactions with others. It seems to me that, given the many differences between the sexes, experiences in youth can have a marked influence on subsequent development, interpersonal styles, and success/resilience. Duh. Ya think? Contact sports, formerly the place mostly for males, may be a prime example. Lessons of the rough and tumble likely teach some how to fit in with peers so experienced. Life long. And those lacking these may be at a disadvantage in many life endeavors. Could it be that these dynamics explain parts of bullying, female/male banter, success in business/politics, and much more. Now many females are getting their share of such education, although for relatively shorter time periods, and onto quite different constitutions/sentimentalities. I've known a number of men, chronically inadequate, who find competition of any sort quite jarring. Ladies surely can relate. Equal? Perhaps. But surely different. Aa-V.

Currently, on the boob tube they put on all the superman epics with Christopher Reeves and there are many other comic heroes such as Iron man, Capt America, Incredible hulk Batman etc.
We all know the basic theme of a mysterious mild manner type of person who turns into a super hero to save the day. Of course there is always romance and a damsel in distress.
There is always a bad guy to upset the day with a diabolical plan for his or her own gain.

Yet, looking at all the fantasy of such, it makes one ponder that we are always seeking a Hero or Heroine
to rescue the victim to vanquish the bad guy. Much like our military boys and girls, police force, fire rescue, and medics on the scene and those we deem protectors.
When it comes to all those services we sometimes take for granted and the people we call friends, how we can look upon them as our heroes to come to our aid or rescue.
There also comes a time to see the hero within the reflection pool we often tend to disregard because we sometimes do not see ourselves as heroes.

In the real world that seems to be getting worse by the hour I think at times we put too much dependence upon someone outside of ourselves to bail us out or to play the role of the hero in our lives. A type of role model to pattern by. When looking for a partner here or any social site we all secretly are looking for that hero to feed us something to believe in and give us courage to fight and love another day. When we see those who seemingly have a strong personality and confidence they are sometimes who we wish to become.
It would be such a better world if we all could be heroes to each other instead of seeing the sickness
and the ugliness that so many seem to convey with killing and shooting people down.

Change comes from within each of us and if we don't like what we see around us we must become the hero within that can make a change.
Its a hard task indeed. Nobody is asking to throw on a cape to leap tall buildings or turn big and green and tear up the town though at times in our anger we wish we could.
We often seek truth and justice from everyone but it starts looking within.
When we see our Dr's. or surgeons if they are successful in saving lives they are considered heroes and it takes humility to shine through.

Everyone who blogs or writes a poem here may be considered doing a heroic deed for a message to someone that may read at the right time that could be the one thought that could save a life from suicide.
Or to offer a new idea that could launch someone into a new career or lifestyle. Or to just cheer up someone who may be down on their luck.
In a world gone crazy today, we need many heroes and healers if we want to have a future.

No doubt, there may be a few here we could call a hero and a friend but we won't know that unless we tell them. We need to consider our values and ideals for not all the money in the world or material things is going to matter. We came into this world with nothing we are going to leave it with nothing. The question is how do we want to be remembered a villain or a hero? Like the song, "I need a hero"- Bonnie Tyler

Imagine for one moment, there is a power cut and that the electricity doesn’t come back on. Where would we be? Just imagine no TV and no Internet. What would you do? What would everyone do? Go to bed and hope the power would come back on in the morning?

The fact is, as we all probably know, the magic boxes have taken over our lives and in many cases have become substitutes for friends and even family. We talk about the ‘virtual world’ and ‘virtual friends,’ and everyone raves about Internet friends but where would they be in a power cut - which never ended? God forbid! We’d have to learn to play musical instruments to entertain ourselves and we’d have to write letters on paper and then wait a week before we got a reply, and even worse – we’d have to talk to neighbours and relatives.

I’m not writing this to proclaim the evil of television or the Internet but that we substitute them for real people and that without them, so many people would suddenly find themselves very lonely indeed. No more jolly news presenters to talk to them over their cornflakes – a friend in the corner of the room; no more gooey entertainment to absorb and distract them; no more of anything to cover up their loneliness and inability to share their lives with others.

How can we ever really be real people again, if we don’t raise the level at which we communicate with each other? Human intercourse! I could say, we are in danger of becoming an extinct species in our own time; that we metamorphose into some sub species where only electricity keeps us alive. Am I being over dramatic? That’s for you to decide?

Someone cuts you off in traffic, road rage incident follows with knives. Bullied in school, bring the artillery to school and kill a dozen kids and teachers. Travelling the seas in an old inexpensive sailboat, and too close to certain coasts, pirates kill you and your crew/family for a few shekels. The law arrives at a domestic call, and are killed in an ambush. Gang members angry at brave girl who reports them to school administration, and is beaten to death with baseball bats. Soon to arrive, ---court officials, town council members, many lawyers, and mental health professionals,--- will get the same attention. This last situation has already happened, where 3 lady therapists were allegedly just killed by a disgruntled Army vet. Many of these types have pissed off people from time immemorial. But now they are being killed in rage full acting out. What explains this? Probably many factors of modern life. Aa-V.
