Good article

Emotionally based reasoning can really mess things up.

If words can mean what you what them to mean these days, then I'm sure that right can mean left if that's what you feel inside. No one else can tell you your identity can they? Or is that only for a select few.

Another excellent article.

Today is really quite a chirpy day.

I read that this morning. I thought it was interesting.

I realized that I find it very difficult to imagine myself in the space where I would feel so compelled to somehow prove my left (or right) credentials. Now maybe that is because I have not fit in those boxes since I was 16 years old and am used to it.

But even my credentials in terms of things I actually do consider myself to believe in more wholly. I just don't get the focus on the label as defined by others?

Excellent article, thanks for sharing it here.
