I did and that AIN'T ME hoss .... NONE of it.
Who is the asshat that wrote this and why was he not in his kindergarten class that day ???
Some of the 'Items' are on the money .... the Keith Ogre-man one is dead on as are others, but again, we are being told how to live, think, and 'feel' about what we believe by some Web Page Blogger Type Op-Ed Guru.
This is analogous to a Buffet Table; consider all that is on the plates and trays, then use what is best for your mind and heart ... if you have a difference of opinion on any one of the 'Items', to resolve the negative aspects, either Research The Facts or dismiss them.
After all, it always boils down to "How We Perceive Information Anyway".
If I did a "List of 50", it would include some of these and the same goes for most of us - - we each take on what we see in our lives as either problems, issues, or simple information - - then we process it OUR WAY regardless of who said it, wrote it, spoke it - - if we don't "Take Ownership of It", then we haven't learned anything from our past or from history.
This kind of 'Thinking' SHOULD be 2nd nature within the World we live in at Present Standards and under the Present Sets of World Regime's - - if we don't do this kind of homework for ourselves, we deserve what we get .... pure 'Common Sense'.
