Some of these people prescribe to a certain belief that i grew up with a beautiful movement this belief. That they have bastardized twisted to suit their thinking in how they and other life should live.
If you need answers they say it is in the black book . And you will find what you seek in this book not in science or technology is how they think.
Thing is people I said as a species were behind the eight ball. We got about five billion years to un-ass this rock we’re on or we are no more.
We need to invest in all education and science in order for us to head out into the universe make like Noah the story you believe in order to survive. And go to where we came from as we come from ancient stars.
So keep on admiring the billionaire class who tells you unions are bad. The billionaire class ,and people I got news you’ll never be a part of that group.
Keep listening to the person in the collar on Sunday morning who brainwashes you into voting blindly against your own interests. Or Fox News telling you free healthcare free education is a threat to your way of life and living under capitalism is the true way.
This is not capitalism well it is capitalism only vulture capitalism. Just an old man bad punctuation dyslexic rant yet these people are the ones that caused this shit.

Dylan Ratigan called it "crony capitalism" and he was going across the country exposing it until that "liberal network" MSNBC fired him.

I miss Dylan, I watched him, excuse the term, religiously.

Prayers, wishes and hopes have no effect. I think science has proved it.
The deck shuffle is random and there is nothing that can be done about it. The only control you have is how you handle the hand you were dealt.

Anxiety is thinking about the future
That’s why meditation works for both.
