I hope you don't expect me to respond to that.

You ain't gonna' fly unassisted no matter how many times you dream of flying.

Based on Jonathan's criteria I am a contradiction.

A younger and friskier Conway:

But it's all illusion so say the Buddhists.

That looks like pole #6.

I would suggest against using that for pole dancing.

And, of course, as always, buyer beware.

Yeah, we have gone through that here in the States too.

And yes, the fear mongers are at it again.

Well, even with the exit, it shouldn't be that difficult to establish new trade agreements.  Suppliers will still want to sell their products.  England is a consumer.  (Unless politics prevents it from happening.)

Dogs like to chase thrown sticks.

I still think that issue should go to the people for vote.  In politics there's too many power and money issues for it to be a decision in the best interest of the people.

If England exits I'm sure Germany won't be too far behind.  And that will be the end of African and Middle Eastern countries controlling the people of Europe.

Yes, some people hitch their ass to a pole; some hitch their horse.

Can't kill it.  It has to die a natural death.  But then, if we keep posting to it it will never die.

Vampires suck!

I just don't like jumping into the unknown. But I do like to understand how things work. So my preferred way is to first theoretically investigate things and depending on the results move on to getting involved or not.

Yeah, I have picked up on that.  I have lived my life with little caution.  And it is true, I have made many mistakes.  Have had many heartbreaks.  But I have lived.

Sure, in my old age I am more like you but I still do that jumping now and then and, of course, continue to make mistakes.

All told, no regrets.  Sure, specifically, many regrets.  But regrets allow me to appreciate the successes in my live so much more.  For those I think, "Ah, I didn't screw that one up."

Sometimes it's fun, and sometimes it isn't.

After the fact doesn't matter.  It's the experience that matters.

But sometimes it's fun to just jump in and get all wet.

Wu wei would seem to be a subjective experience and not one that would easily lend itself to validation. 

Subjective based on how it is defined subjectively.

Wasn't Who on first?

Yes, this is a very important period of time for many countries.  Decisions that are being made now and will be made the next couple years are going to dramatically effect most of the people of those countries.

The bad moves by the politicians will take many years to correct.

Too bad we don't have a small island of a couple thousand people we can practice on before making changes that effect hundreds of  millions of people.

8. I really dislike killing even an ant till red ants descended on me one day in this beautiful south and bite me many times. I don't think I'll get past letting them crawl up me to bite me.  I still have some limits on my personal space. 

Yes, fire ants, sometimes called piss ants (their bite is so fierce it causes one to piss their pants), are plentiful down here.  If any get on me they have to die.  That's just the way I am.

Well, I finally switched styles.  To the Country songs from the new collection:

All he needs is love.

But then, a functioning brain might help.

Yeah, you should lay down after that rant.  Let the blood flow normally again.
