Pat yourself on the back, and give yourself a cookie.<br /><br />Oh, and cats aren't "family". They're pets. Animals that cost money and need to be taken care of BY a family. So much for the "gotcha" moment.<br /><br />Now, back to the topic...<br /><br />Not too long ago, I was obsessed with politics. I was at the point that I listened to talk radio nearly the entire day. Eventually, I realized (partially due to Cappy himself, especially after reading "Enjoy The Decline") that all I was really succeeding in doing was making myself angry while accomplishing nothing. Therefore, I spent most of my day angry. <br /><br />Not anymore. I don't pay much attention to political news (including YouTube personalities). Sure, I slip up now and then, but eventually catch myself and ask "WTF am I reading/watching this for?" What is the point of being informed, if there's NOTHING that you can do about it?<br /><br />To paraphrase a quote from “John Wick"... "I will do nothing, because I can do nothing".<br /><br />Now I'll get the fuck out of your sight.<br /><br /><br />David Jravishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07318863315534783964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-84722988388799760022017-06-10T06:07:54.153-07:002017-06-10T06:07:54.153-07:00Captain Capitalism: But most leftists do not have ...<b>Captain Capitalism</b>: <i>But most leftists do not have families, hobbies, interests, or lives, leaving them only with politics as a sad and pathetic substitute.

They have two children, four grandchildren and two cats."<br /><br />So, it sounds like she has a family after all. You chose your own example, and it showed exactly the opposite of what you said it did — that is, unless you think that being married and having children, grandchildren and cats doesn't constitute having a family or having a life.Zachrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16081260898264733380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-12939033954837736002017-06-07T09:51:25.362-07:002017-06-07T09:51:25.362-07:00No breakfast?

Maybe it was an accidental ommision, but your narrative leaps from coffee to "dinner and lunches" with nary a mention of a pancake, sausage, or egg. This seems an odd and puzzling oversight for someone that purports to enjoy their life. Again, maybe you actually had a piece of toast or something with your coffee, but skipped over it due to a lapse in memory or, maybe, just because there is nothing glamorous or inspiring about toast (yours anyway.) But then, maybe you did, indeed, omit breakfast from your activites that day. Maybe getting breakfast was difficult or impossible that day due to other circumstances that you didn't touch upon. But if it was possible, and you neglected to get it anyway, I would urge you to reconsider in the future. Maybe you are one of those people that never eat breakfast. You should know that those people are wrong. Don't be wrong.

We had a country that was as great as it could be (tolerant, republic, free speech, everybody envied us, winning wars with 40:1 armies easily) <br /><br />The result of many works why Poland died is: rich oligarchy (magnats) worked though government layers within 300 years to replace voting middle class interest (szlachta) with their own interest, mostly by pushing them into poverty and then buying their votes. SOUNDS FAMILIAR? Then they sold their influence to external powers .. <br /><br />The idea is: Country may molder & die, but nation needs to survive and in few hundred years of tears, blood and sweat you can rebuild basic values of society. <br /><br />Please view this English podcast about how it was:<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwwXJ8u7eTM&t=953s<br />hermilionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03126023444326426866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-37682355843051680212017-06-06T14:14:49.947-07:002017-06-06T14:14:49.947-07:00Aside from Youtube videos about current events pro...Aside from Youtube videos about current events produced by my favorite creators, I really don't try to keep up with the current news stories. <br />But for some reason, my life hasn't degraded in quality from not keeping up with the times, it's a miracle!

Politics lost much of my interest years ago, because it's all BS. I was once a "Legislative Liaison" aka lobbyist 20 years ago. Left that gig and really had zero taste for any politics since that time. I also sucked at being a lobbyist, just had a hard time sucking up to stupid people such as congressional staffers (the minions as I called them) to get face time with some Joe Blow Congressman or Senator. Many times when I would go to hearings on "The Hill", where I spent most of my time doing crossword puzzles or reading a book or magazine. Watching paint dry on a wall is more fun than attending congressional committee hearing. It's all kabuki theatre on "The Hill".<br /><br />Your weekend was great, I had a pretty good weekend myself. Politics and the stuff happening in the UK made me pause for about 10 minutes to get up to date with the happenings, then back to more important things, like drinking some good beer and eating good food. Take care of the local stuff that you can control, such as having good physical fitness. That could go along way in aiding anyone who may be confronted with a crappy situation such as what happened in the UK. Jim Scrummynoreply@blogger.com
