"You can't cheat kids. If you cheat them when they're children they'll make you pay when they're sixteen or seventeen by revolting against you or hating you or all those so-called teenage problems. I think that's finally when they're old enough to stand up to you and say, 'What a hypocrite you've been all this time. You've never given me what I really wanted, which is you."
"If The Beatles or the 60's had a message, it was 'Learn to swim, and once you've learned-SWIM."
"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now? Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."
"I don't intend to be a performing flea anymore. I was the dreamweaver, but although I'll be around I don't intend to be running at 20,000 miles an hour trying to prove myself. I don't want to die at 40."

"Your skin is an important organ, like your liver, your kidney ... Would you like to have a tattoo on your liver? And to damage an important organ voluntary doesn't show much of an intelligence, as most of those people want it to remove as they mature. And that will cost you up to 5 times more than the original job costs you; and it never can be removed totally".
He is correct that our skin is a vital organ. It’s ok though if you want to piece or tattoo. That’s an individual right for us as human beings, no matter what Religion we are.
You don’t need to pierce or tattoo your skin permanently. You can use magnets as an alternative for body piercing as an example:

That was a professional writing Merri. No misspellings and a very good story. I would bet that you could sell that writing for at least $1000 dollars to a writing website on the internet.
You will enjoy this, but I need to use the URL for quality and comments...
You are wrong about Ayn Rand Ray. She fled from Russia to seek Freedom. Ayn was an Atheist and a Capitalist, but she made her own mark on our world by standing up in what she believed.
This book is a great read and explains how a rail system could really work. It has to do with a new hybid metal invented for railway tracks and high speed train travel.
The United States is a large Nation with many rural areas. It's not feasible to have a railway system unless it's near the cities. That's why we drive cars to get from NY to CA.
Amtrack does well enough for us in the inner Cities. To drive across the US, you will mostly need a large gas guzzler car to get there...across the hills and mountains.
A fuel efficient car will also get you there, but you stand the chance of damage to the car and motor.
Most of our freight lines are dedicated to shipping and freight express. Trucks that travel across the USA must have Diesel fuel to be able to afford an economical trip to their destination.
No unexpected party with large numbers of people like we had comes without unexpected consequences.
On the 2nd night, a man was on a boat and anchored to our shoreline. He drank too much and he fell off of the boat and drowned. The autopsy showed too much alcohol.
This led to an FBI investigation over the next several weeks where Todd, Paul and I were questioned.
They found no fault with us because we had made the correct decision to receive permission from Police Authorities to have the Party in the first place. We were exonerated by the US Court and no charges were filed against us.
There were other instances in the USA like this at the time. Our small case made headlines across the USA with others. These cases eventually led to State proclamations from the US Supreme Court that the hosts of Parties can be held responsible for the behavior of their guests.
We never hosted another “House Party”.

There have been many opinions about Astrology on this thread. I would have made this thread a poll, but that can't be done on chat threads. It’s not in the list in creating polls.
I would guess that the poll would say about 50/50, believers/non-believers. I myself don't know. I see good arguments from both sides.
