Murder, she wrote. No, mangosteens, he replied.

I commented in the blog of Prosperous Snow celebrating :

What's "normal"? In 1955 "I love Lucy" America it was White-with-a-job. Sadly, jobs aren't like they used to be. No showing up in the morning to be payed that evening.

It is interesting to note how all those fearful people have problems because of someone's faith or color or... well... fill in the blank. The fearful tend to be (with many exceptions) White, gun-toting, pro-military, let's-throw-everyone-in-jail types.

And who are the mass-murderers? They tend to be "White, gun-toting, pro-military, let's-throw-everyone-in-jail types". The same type that would've been considered "normal" in 1955.

No ... no one is safe anywhere. Safety is an illusion. But ...we can choose to reject fear. And live a much happier life.

The prompt for snow's blog was MURDER.

Are parents part of the problem when children don't achieve?

I ask because I think my parents, like many parents, made mistakes. I grew up with great social anxieties. I simply didn't know what to say or do. Oh ...well. Other parents made other mistakes. We-all make mistakes. *sigh*

How about ME?:

Decent day. nothing new. Feria: mangosteens, pejibayes, carrots, a pepper, a mango. Ate rabbit. A piece of coconut pie. Said hello to friends. It rained. It's raining now. I got there and back without getting soaked though. Even remembered to buy milk on the way back.

So ... not much to write about here. Stirred up the pot on facebook though...
