being one who stands middle-ground on many things, "saddling the fence" on a multitude of issues & subjects, makes me a target from all sides...
seeking & exposing Truth vs the multitude of rhetoric being flung by all sides gets one branded by a multitude of 'titles' as well
mostly unpleasant & derogatory, but also as simple as 'liberal/democrat' & 'conservative/republican'
none of which are True - all my decisions are subjective, based on research as well as personal experience
yes, I admit, I can get "caught up" when I'm being yelled/screamed at for having an opinion different than that of others *laughs*
yes, I admit, I have a habit of "responding in kind," depending on the subject at-hand - though I do my best to calm & hone my reactions
those who "follow the crowd" & fall for the rhetoric, bullshit, & negative attention worry the 7 hells outta me...
because I've seen what these people are doing - locally as well as globally - and the destruction they're causing
whether it be under purposeful ignorance & willful negative response, it's harmful... in most cases more harmful than that they oppose !
...the same for those who ignorantly believe bullshit & purposefully ignore Truth because it's what they're being told is "true"...
no matter how much is exposed to be False & Disproven, they continue to "follow the crowd"
( worrying as well is those being raised in that environment - is it any wonder/shock that violence & reactionary attitudes have risen amongst the youth ? )
BUT... I try to remain True - to myself & the Truth - while keeping my family & myself as safe as possible
not the least bit easy, with there being violence & destruction within an hour's walk - far too local!
with those that we can Trust to Protect Us, Uphold The Law, & Continue To Keep Us Safe being hindered, defunded, & asked - if not outright told - to ignore the Crimes occurring around them
:( is it any wonder that the family - ex-wife & myself, for our daughters - have considered more than once seriously moving elsewhere
not that it's affordable to move, not in the least - particularly with a great job & decent life
but when it gets less and less safe on a monthly, weekly, daily basis... *sighs*
we'll see, I guess - one can only hope for a better direction in the near future
Farethee well for now, my Lovelies & Gentlefolk, Keep Living & Loving Life
weeks of twittage ::
8/27 : if the Truth was important, we'd be seeing as headlines :
"suspect with criminal history deceased following refusal to follow officers' orders"
"suspect with criminal history deceased following erratic behaviour with illicit drugs in their system"
8/27 (earlier) : Dreamage. : a'points-process' auction at a wake, with the points redistributed every time someone 'cashes out' & items auctioned not 'won' 'til the end ( ?!? )
9/3 : apartment complex actually had to send out a memo reminding residents that "smoke-free" INCLUDES marijuana, both of which are an immediate-eviction offense ( my building apparently had butts in hallways & dropped from decks that did not belong to cigarettes )
the 'crux of humanity,' ladies & gents, that we oft have to deal with daily :(
9/5 : of course I'd have no problem harming someone(s) who broke into my home ... they obviously care more about what *I* have than their *own* lives that they went to the extent to break into my home - no question, I'd protect what I worked for & earned vs their desire to appropriate
9/9 : wth ?! 1st a Biden ad blaming Trump for the rioting & looting in Mpls ( yeah, our gov & Mpls' mayor "love" the president //sarcasm// *yeesh* ), then an ad connecting the deaths of his 1st wife & daughter & survival of his sons - in 1972!! - with N0bamacare !!! uhm, wth ?!?!?
9/10 : not to be mean, but having a requirement of a certain percentage of non-white major actors in a film to be considered for an Oscar is , well, racist... films should be judged solely on Artistic & Technical Merit ( after all, the Oscar's real name IS the "Academy Award of Merit" )
9/11 : *shivers* as I highly doubt that daytime lows are going to rise above the 50s for any length of time, so it appears wintertide has begun early *deep sigh* - s'been a cold week, coupled with dental pain & swelling... *yeesh* only 8 months 'til warmth, only 8 months 'til warmth...
9/12 : so the victim's brother is up in arms that "[his] brother was a good man & [they] have no right to call [the victim] a criminal & drug abuser" ... except there's the fact the victim WAS a criminal & drug abuser - facts are facts, truth is truth, changing the past solves nothing
9/13 : they say you can gauge a show's target audience by its commercials : news this am had schizophrenia, following by GI, followed by a Biden ad - so they're targeting schizophrenics with gastro-intestinal distress who are mental & in pain enough to believe Biden's bullshit ?!
9/17 : less than 2 weeks ago : we can expect the shortage of N95 masks to last until well past the year
past week : hundreds of thousands of N95 masks are being given out for free to those in the california wildfire smoke zone
...guess we know where they've been all this time now?
9/18 : Dear friends, I regret to inform you that because my opinions differ from that of someone who I've neither met nor knows me, I am a 'racist' - particular apologies to the AmerInd, black, islander, & asian friends I've had for years ... apparently a stranger knows better than you
