Who I am in a nutshell: "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." **Ralph Waldo Emerson**

The fence
How is it that people want their cake and to eat it too? Kicking and screaming adults are thee worst things to witness and I've seen plenty of that in an area that I have grown to dislike very much.
When people want something they jump in with both feet and grab it. But then, when the consequences of that thing they wanted SO badly turn sour, those people are the first to scream FOUL!
Fingers start to extend, hateful words start to spew, animosity grows and there seems to be a mini-war that erupts and all of it directed at another who didn't want what those people wanted in the first place. And why?
Well, that other side of the fence didn't want it because they knew the consequences. They screamed it to the roof tops and spread warnings everywhere. But it fell on many deaf ears.
Now, those who wanted their cake are pissed off and screaming foul because they don't like the consequences and it's all the other side of the fences fault. Tell me how that works?
