man it was lonely in that ignore list...I'm rested and spent a little more time on the wordsmithing. Plus I was just being a prick before

The thoughts remain the same, but 'killing em with kindness' and less invective verbage is much more effective...if you know what i mean.
Anyway...I am a Canadian born, low class 'hood bred, middle class educated and formed, Marine Corps trained, prison hardened, blue collar employed knucklehead, with a self made upper class immediate and intact family unit. I have experienced the gamut of human flavors, and base my assertion purely on my experiences. I consider them to be varied, broad and rather enlightened. I call em like I see em.
In order for there to be change people need to care. If they did, there would be change. It's not so much that people are fighting to 'prevent,' it's that most are not fighting to change...because they don't find it particularly important.
Thoughts?,
