After the rain, the kids are playing in puddles and watching streamlets trickle down hill, "come on, it's time for school," because they haven't learned yet, that such eye glitter, is of no consequence, not important, and needs no attention.
In the forties and fifties USA, kids were considered more trouble than worth, should be seen and not heard, an interference with adult lives. And with the Christian thing, kids were something akin to little devils, untrained and unchristianized, and in need of great training. Today, one may say to mom, or dad as well, about her one to four year old, "It's great ! It doesn't get better than this !" And universally, a big smile and sometimes quite often actually, will come back with a wide smile, and a thank you.
Progressive is a proposition, which necessitates its oppositional companion, Regressive, for which Progressive could not exist, without Regressive, to transform, exploit or destroy, so to make a goodlier world, and is the fundamental conceptual bipolarity, of something and nothing.
Having been oppressed, meaning one's ancestors oppressed, and the present one is then allowed to oppress, victimhood extortion, or is it get even ? With a class of persons, since the oppression was of the long distant past, and the present class of persons all the same as guilty. "Oppress me, oppress me, is to my ultimate advantage. Darn ! I or my distant relations, have never been oppressed. How am I going to get progressively ahead ?"
When financially, profits diminish, Capitalists usually offload, first integrity, then honor, honestly and tradition, until and only, profits retained remain.
Stand-alone, big auto bank teller machine, at a forty-five degree angle, in a mall parking lot. Somebody tried to pull it out with a truck. Why is that ? Because the country is run by criminals, so stupid they don't know it, and the banks are broke, but nobody knows it, and the country is thirty-four trillion dollars in debt and counting, while much of that thirty-four trillion goes to the miliary, to Ukraine and the backfired attempt to overthrow Russian again, and the new greater Israel, while there is no money for needy citizens - is why !
Living in wine country, there were a lot of illegal non citizen grape workers, and there was the immigration police, who might walk or drive up and ask one, did you see a tall alien a few minutes ago, and though one had, one might say no, if one could identify and sympathize, as being that illegal. If not, yes - he went that-away !
It was some thirty-five years or so ago, and the youth gangs of the inner city had pretty much been pacified honky dory. Then its all about me, iF you, Hollywood, comes out with a series of gang movies, and guys are nunchucking, chainsticking, chukaing in the streets, and the whole gang thing was revived. But not where those Hollywooders live no doubt, and such a thing as mentioned here, would never be imagined or admitted by them, if they lived to a thousand.
The big Capitalists hate Socialism, and destroy it whenever and wherever, if they can, the current big-time enemy, China, because they can't compete with it, and don't want anyone to know. One can't beat the All, when the All works together. And as the Chinese, put western jet plane flyover Olympic ceremonies to shame in 2008, anyone with half a brain could see the difference. All Government is Socialist, but either the big Capitalists are too dumb to know it, or they need it, so they call it something else, just so long as they can control it. The big Capitalists can only compete by war, one after another, ad infinitum.
The wealthy are all, sooner or later fascist, because when push comes to shove, the poor will take it away from them, and only fascism can prevent it.
George Gurdjieff, a well known Russian mystic, rented a chateaus, probably on the outskirts of Paris, when they discovered a probably, thousand year old monks wine cellar, with empty wine bottles. Gurdjieff bought the cheapest rot-gut wino wine, he could find, and filled the old monk's bottles with it, corking them with the appropriate wax sealer. He invited the most expert of French wine authorities and critics, to come and taste this great wine discovery. They all, to a person, thought it was the greatest wine they had ever tasted. Its called packaging.
Parked in the handicapped zone, and nothing handicapped about them. They have have the placard, but walk as good as myself, who walks five to ten miles a week. So in a whole city life, of over fifty years, I have maybe seen someone use the handicapped space, who was actually handicapped, and not walking around the lake or playing tennis, maybe twice. Possibly with hypnosis, may be able to remember a time or two more, but as is, twice.
What's the psychology behind the most accident prone vehicles. From LendingTree, Ram, the ABC TV network of auto makes, number one as 33 accidents per 1,000 drivers, and Telsa number two at 31 ? All foreigners, Subaru 30, Volkswagen 28, Mazda 28, BMW 27. Family car Subaru a surprise, but these others one might notice, are get out of my way tailgaters. Ram sits up high and mighty. Telsa being electric, must have an inferiority complex, or is it, make way for the planet saver, you crumb dumb! BMW big time. Volkswagen, the I am not a BMW, but get out of my way, just as good. The most safe drivers are the all American, Chrysler 19, Lincoln 19, Buick 19, Cadillac 18, Saturn 17, Pontiac 16 and Mercury 16. And the surprise is these days, women are as often as not, just as bad as men.
Tried to watch the Rose Bowl parade 2024, on three TV channels, but on each, the picture length was three seconds, quick cut video changing image angle, every one to three seconds, and which upsets my nervous system, and beside the insipid content, is why don't watch Network TV. Have to wonder, to what degree this contributes to Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Or does one have to have it, to watch this stuff.
