The punch is not the solution.

Profiling isn't the solution... It's the problem. It isn't what's right with the world... It's what's wrong with it. It isn't what makes us good or what allows us to act or treat people better... It makes us treat people worse. 

Even some people I thought were friends of mine appear so brainwashed from drinking the punch about the likes of me and certain others that they need to be watered twice a day with that punch in order to maintain the brainwashing that they think is their most positive quality but is actually their most negative. They think this because they were so deprived of certain true love in that way that they are taking what they can get... all that they know they definitely have available to them right now... the concessions that the punch gives them to keep them coming back for more.

But those at the top of the hierarchy who supply the punch aren't about the concessions... it's about humanization of others and themselves and of those drinking the punch

Someone needs to give the punch-drinkers-- or inform them of-- a better option than the punch so that when they stop getting it they won't go into horrible withdrawals and think they're dyying or that they've lost everything or that their personhood has been stripped from them... which are all torture.

They need something better or at least temporarily pain relieving to get them off the punch without it being torture for them in ANY way, shape or form. Then (and because of that) they can find even better after.

But I'm not the one that needs or deserves or is equipped to be providing them that service... with some of them, I'm their victim, and I was never any of their aggressor. All I owe them is to tell them that better that doesn't hurt them is out there for them.

Roses Are Red, revised (had a lot of mistakes before)

Roberta's voicemail to Elton: Today's protest rally Roses are red, bear spray is for bears, the human you sprayed suffered retinal tears. If you need to defend yourself order some mace. If I see more bear spray I will cut up your face. Elton to Roberta: Moron. Roses are red, You're not as smart as you think. If you don't watch your mouth, you'll end up in the clink. I happen to know several cops and a judge. If you don't show respect I will beat you to sludge. Roberta to Elton: Hypocrite. Roses are red, You threatened me too. If today I'm arrested, tomorrow it's you. I have talked to your friends and I know you are bluffing. Leave me alone or I'll rip out your stuffing. Elton to Roberta: Cease and desist. Roses are red, Jail is boring. There isn't good food or even adequate flooring. If you don't stop now I will call the police. I will get your ass charged with disturbing my peace. Roberta to Elton: Protect yourself. Roses are red and I happe...

I'm back with a brand new rant about an old AND new issue.

The issue is this:  Don't ever call me passive and then expect to remain on good terms with me. "Passive" is not a neutral statement. "Passive" means stupid. "Passive" means incapable. "Passive" means lazy. "Passive" means confused, which basically in this case also means stupid. "Passive" means cowardly. "Passive" means not all there or vegetative. "Passive" can also mean boring, but that's the least of our worries given the other things it means. It is not a neutral term. Use it if you want; I'm not the speech or thought police. But using it on me will cost our friendship. Because just like I can't and would never force you to speak a certain way, you can't ad shouldn't want to force me to take demeaning, degrading treatment. "Passive" is the assumption that I don't have good reasons for being quiet or civil, or that I shouldn't be allowed to choose for myself whe...

You might need a new one. We all do sometimes.

To everyone in the world, myself included sometimes: If dehumanizing anyone is part of your religion, you need a new religion. If dehumanizing others is part of your job, then you need a new job. If dehumanizing people was part of your education, then you need a new education. If dehumanizing you is how your family bonds, then you need a new family. If dehumanizing you brings your friends closer together, then you need new friends. If dehumanizing someone is a release for you, then you need a new release. If dehumanizing anyone is a pastime for you, then you need a new pastime. If dehumanizing anyone at all, any sentient being, or everyone, or a few, or certain types, even sometimes, is your lifestyle, then you need a new lifestyle. I would never tell you WHAT lifestyle to have, just pick any one that doesn't involve or include or encourage dehumanization of anyone!
