Roe vs Wade: 43 years ago
This is certainly a touchy subject. I just believe that we need to protect the quality of life, especially protecting those who cannot protect themselves, no matter what the age.

Campaign Speech
I have been following Trump, Bernie, and Hillary. The latest Trump ad has Hillary barking like a dog. She actually did this at a campaign rally. It would be fun to be president, if you could actually bring about the positive changes I wish for everyone.

The problem with positive-thinking ...
First off, I ‘love’ positive-thinking gurus, well, to a point, Some do get nauseating past that point, though..., They certainly pose many valid, logical, unarguable tenets, They quote all the ‘holy’ scriptures and the gurus gone before them to c

Catawampous
...". Catawampous means fierce, destructive. (like the call of a catamount) 1844, Charles Dickens, The Life and Adventures of Martin Chuzzlewit, Chapter 21: There air some catawampous chawers in the small way too, as graze upon a human pretty strong; but don't mind them, they're company.

Trump opted out of the last Republican debate because FOX refused to pay him five million dollars and he can't stand the female host. I don't know if Bernie Sanders can beat Hillary, but I hope so.

This side of the Zambezi…
Many years ago, when I was a volunteer non-combatant in South Africa’s apartheid war against Namibia, I experienced a life-enriching phenomenon, which I would like to share with my fellow poets in this corner of the galaxy… Why share? Well, I find
The Mask!
We Western people think we are the best, that we have the best system and we know more, but when my Son visited Baduy Land in Indonesia and stay with them for many days, he confronted a very simple way of living, where Truth was the first priority in their society. They have live in the way they live now, for 400 years, isolated from the outer world and everything is following the way of nature. They even sleep in a short Bag on the floor in a similar way as the fetus in the womb. The most impressive was, that all these days he was there in the willage,he never heard any child crying, no fights, no arguing, not even any higher voice, all was peace and everybody just had their own place in their society, did their own task and everything was to take care of everybodys need together like a unity. They dont allow almost anything from the outside world to be bringed in, not even toothpaste. This is the way of life, where you live to your needs only and you don't destroy the nature and because nobody run after what they want or demand for, there are no fights and arguments either and the family life is stable and healthy and children feel safe and are because of that mentally well-balanced and that is why hole the society is in peace. A society built up with needs, is a unite, when the society built up with extreme life of wants is also extreme individual, what automatically burst confrontations already from the first years of childrens life and ending as adult with crimes and even killings, what this people in unite, don't have at all. The funny thing is, that a lot of Western people, keep these people living in that simple way, as stupid and that they need to get more knowledge,the right understanding about God, they need money so that they can buy what Western people can buy and of course they have to get the so important Democraty too. In fact these people have the knowledge that is based on Wisdom, they don't need crazy houses,no horrible expensive healt care and not any Police force with to quick trigger fingers and no Jails full with inmates and just because they have a society,that live mentally as also physically a very healthy life, starting from the smallest babyes.
