A topic I will post soon concerns the place for adversity in free thought. When we have struggled desperately to keep a loved one alive as I have for a quarter of a century, and through shocking adversity, we are rewarded a new view ~ a new way of thinking. Also, when young I was violent. Very violent. By the time I was the age of some of the youngest here I had already faced SWAT teams called specifically in response to my personal activities. A few times. This was due activities against the Viet Nam War and a period where, childishly, I played at being a vigilante after witnessing a rape. In other words, I have known both ends of weaponry intimately. I have challenged death too often to be impressed with it, both as vigilante and father. We are not free thinkers when we consider the consequences of thought or even action. To DARE is essential.
