Giving.
Over a year ago, I started giving away 10% of my after-tax income, incluing gifts to me and tax refunds. Now, I look forward to opportunities to do so.
My sister got me started. She needed help advancing her education, and I gave her money each month until I put a stop to my income by quitting my job, by which time she had found a little work in that field. When I got a new job, I discovered that I wanted to give to something else. I found Kiva.org. If you know about Kiva, you'll understand that eventually I'd want to find something else. I gave to the Obama campaign and to the NRA.
This year, I've decided that I can't miss the opportunity to give to the Marijuana Policy Project, the Drug Policy Alliance Network, and NORML.
I eagerly await each paycheck. I know that when I get it, I'll designate that share to give, and get to give it away to an organization that works for my goals.

Though I'm very impressed that you helped your sister with school funding.
Giving is good if you can afford it, there are many gifts that do not cost money, and giving those are good for the soul as well.
The Law of Liberty?, perhaps, but most people don't seem to get it. In a world where we are told what we should be doing by practically everyone, it is pretty much the Law of Personal Anarchy, and that is where I find my personal Liberty.
Later,
got to close the shop for the day.
Logos - out.
Pretty strong in Water, I'd say , but the Leo must really tweak things.
I thought Aries,Taurus;--Virgo was a disaster, so did Adolf Hitler , but he wasn't sane enough to see his madness. so he destroyed the World as much as he could, when it failed to meet his expectations based on what he demanded .
Me , I know I'm mad;........ impossible you say? Not one bit, Thank Goodness for Dr. Albert Hoffman .
I know I'm mad enough to not need to always listen to myself. If I get a really wild-ass radical thought going, I usually just resign myself to, "then again, I'm probably just, Out of my mind." This filtering devise was rarely used by me here in SG land, I just let it all hang out.
Be cool, be careful what you fund, I like the NORMAL thing, but , my hope for Liberty is pretty thin.
I'm on my way out of the SG door, so I guess my comments and existence here are mute.
Later,
Logos.
