I think the fact of the matter, or rather, the radical realism, of things matters so here goes:

-You get old and cannot learn new things

-Young ppl have nothing to say that matters, after all, they are "young"

-Old people have noting to say, after all, they are "old"

-Everyone HAS to be married, men or women, if not then one is defective somehow

-Anything done "for da childrenz" is of course, proper

-No need for GMO labels, after all it is "safe"

-Don't even try, it is to hard

-Anything easy is not worth it

-Want to be happy then be wealthy

-Coal fired power plants are "bad", 300% increases in power bills are "good"

-Food from a paper bag is of course, good for you

-All atheists are immoral

-All those of faith are moronic rubes who were forced to be religious via their parents

This list of societal memes is nearly endless, feel free to add to them..or not

The first one...

When I went to college there was a woman who was 84 years old that graduated.

She said simply, "if you don't use it you lose it." She refused to be bored or to not exercise her brain so she went to college, for the heck of it.

I would lie if I said I gave one f uck about how one is "supposed" to behave. Only thing that matters to me is more knowledge except the knowledge about why some humans are stupid.

True, these are merely but a few of the priori lines of thinking that happen every minute, of every day

That there is only one path to "success":

1. Go to School to get a degree for a job that will pay well regardless of if it's not your passion/what you enjoy.

*And if you don't, you're bound to be unemployed and a nobody on the streets.

2. Do said job working tons of hours so that you can buy all those fancy cars and clothes that you really need.

*So that all of your friends, family, and neighbors can know how accomplished you are.

*Also, don't get so down about working yourself to death and missing out on life doing something you hate, you always have retirement... Hopefully.

Just follow steps 1 and 2 and your life will be made

Good list

Biggest lies? How about, "Trust the experts and everything will be okay."

"Leave that to the experts."

No thanks.

Biggest lies..

Almost everything is a lie, from how you should behave, what you should eat, who to vote for, who to pray to - and why -, what you should do with your life.

Verify all of it through your personal filter, use your brain. 90% of what we've been told is crap.

A deep look in the eyes, a faithful Mother

An atheist who can happily explain quantum mechanics

As for lies

Burnt food..yum...like it like that

"Let's dance!" Men's worst fear..along with GF's opinions

Hard truths:

No, not everyone will like you

Love is not roses and butterflies

Yep, stop eating so much

No, do not tell me you love when you are drunk, you're drunk

Yes, bad things happen to good people, yes the miserable tend to excel

Good truths

Sunday Dinner
Yes Nana will watch them
Yes, your taste is excellent!
A smile not only hides a sword, it also is a symbol of joy


Mom's worry, Dad's ponder

Hey, Padre;

Wanted to mention that I had a Niece who flew in a couple of weeks ago from your neck of the woods.

Kind of tripped me out when she mentioned the town.

Small world, eh?

Cool, Asheville is a great town, just hard to make a living in it, otherwise Mtns, rivers, lakes, moderate winters

Great place to live really

We didn't talk much about it.

Mostly I just told her that Earth Guild was there, when she asked me to Teach her how to make a Dream Catcher.

I think she models.

You might be interested, too. They have an awful lot of Craft Supplies, and such.

Think I got one of my Looms from there.

Earth Guild

Cool have been by Earth Guild lots of times, it is near the downtown library and on the way to "Bar Avenue"

They have looms right in the window

I'm more into food production than weaving.

Thing with Asheville is it is like 5 towns in one, North, South, Central, West, unincorporated areas, vastly different social circles

Everyone from back to the earth, to rednecks, to alternative lifestyle folks, hardcore religionists

You can literally have a nuclear physicist chatting with a chef chatting with a preacher chatting with a gay couple

Quite a mix really

{ Oh man, you are so lucky! They have so much, I would just like to spend days going through all of it.}

{Can't remember if it was my wheel or one of the looms. Could be one of the fifteen million countless accessories...

But I think it was the Harp. That one is portable, used to carry it to the Spinning Circles.}

{Ha, sounds a bit like LindaLand...

I could see you just fitting right in.

Really wish we would have had time for a deeper conversation now. I could have Taught her so many things (Niece.)}
