I see lots of folks get outraged when they see “wasteful” government spending, or “high” government salaries. But little outrage at private CEOs with salaries of 10s and even 100s of millions. Who do they think provides the $$$ to pay those salaries?

Your post reminded me that banishment was often the most severe punishment for early human societies. Consequently why the threat of the RINO label is so effective for the current president and so many of his faithful followers.

Thanks for sharing this Kate, I love it!
There is a lot of evidence from psychology and related fields that this question “how to find a home” is really one of the most fundamental driving needs we have as human beings.

John, as one husband to another, stop talking/posting now. 😁

Yes! Why didn’t we think of this earlier? Simply stop collecting the data and then the problem will just go away! 🙄

If yes, then definitely the emphasis is on “very early”

“Civilizational”??

Well, once again my “sense of humor” causes people to feel anxiety. My apologies. And my promise that “one of these days” I am going to really learn from this.

I always thought it was “betwixt and between”

So does this mean Jesse W is trans? And if so does that mean he’s not allowed to compete in school sports anymore? 🙄

Agreed. But the implication is that DJT is acting this way solely because of “mental illness”. As if he is incapable of anything else. It inadvertently lets him off the hook. At least IMO.

Okay. You’re right there and I should have known better. But I don’t want us confusing him with people who have (and are often seeking treatment for) anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other types of mental illness.

Ok. I’m not angry. I agree with what you are trying to say. But please don’t equate this buffoon with “mental illness”. He is not mentally ill. He is filled with greed, envy, lust and hate. He is a despicable excuse for a human being. But he is *choosing* to be this way. He is not ill.

Seriously? How about “John gets whatever kind of pie he gets and likes it” pie?
(One of my favorite lines from one of my favorite characters BTW)

“And all my stuff is there” - by any chance a reference to Firefly?
