- "Partial (retun) of land..." - return with an rrrrrrrr in there

- "Do (onto) others..." - unto?

Okay, this was somewhat amusing :) I could hear the song, Let There Be Peace on Earth, and let it begin with me..." Aaaannnd now I'm hearing, "I'd like to buy the world a coke..." ya, the pain meds are starting to kick in. This sure beats the grumblies I had going on this last week or so. I raise a glass to "happy moods". It also helps to see the sun shining out my window :)

It's nice to see your opinion about things. I enjoy a good Hawaiin pizza. I'd remove the ham and just have a pineapple pizza anyday and be happier than a pig in mud.

I resent your last line about gray hair. That is my one mission in life lately, to give up the fight and accept my grayness peacefully.

    Glad to see you support the legend. That's friendship! Let the delusion in all its glory spread throughout the land. You can be my secretary of dementia praecox. Love is the answer to everything, except pineapple. michael

Oh my!! My belief in every situation is that tolerance is the key word. One does't have to agree with every situation, but it's not our job to judge. So just be tolerant. I enjoyed reading your essay. Can I be the vice-president? We've never had a woman VP.

    Sure, you'd make a great V.P. I figure there's nothing to do, so I'd have you working on your novels. LOL mikey

    So pleased you enjoyed, Shelley. I'm shocked, but there are some pineapple and gooey center people here. You never know WHO might be right next to you. JEESH! mikey

Interesting thoughts Mikey, and some that made me think, and that is a feat in itself.

Some of your issues I totally agreed with. Especially #1 my opinion of this so called fashion statement is that it is just Butt ugly.

#3 I would at one time agreed with until I tried a ham and pineapple pizza and it was not too bad.

Some of your other issues are still open for thought. which, I was to give my opinion would find that FS had closed it's doors and no posts would be available to comment on. That is how slow my brain works these days.

Any way a good write. I enjoyed it.

Thanks for sharing.

    I can eat the ham and pineapple pizza, I just think it should be a pepperoni instead. LOL
    Just some blathering. Hopefully something to think about somewhere in there. Thanks a bunch, mikey

Well, I would like to say I disagree. Of course, if I did, my disagreement would strictly be for the sake of disagreement and to create a good old fashioned argument. But not finding enough differences in our ways of thinking to bother with debate, then all I can say is: thanks for another thought provoking read. HEE HEE, :-)

CONCLUSION:
The whole sexuality issue doesn't bother me though I admit it feel a little funny about it from time to time. I consider that my problem and not an actual point of view on my part. Officially, each to his or her own and love is all good is my policy.
... It don't bother me neither, Mikey. I'm all for sex. Sex is good, one a' the bestest stress relievers they is, ya know?


ISSUE #3: Pineapple on pizza

Pineapple does NOT belong on a pizza. It is not open for discussion.

CONCLUSION:
No.
... I gotta disagree with ya on this 'un here, Oh Pal-o-mine. I luvs me some Hawaiian pizza pie. Canadian Bacon, ham, bacon...yum, yum...on second thought, mebbe it's all the bacon on it what makes it taste so dang good...

ISSUE #4: Candy centers

A hard shell chocolate candy should NOT have a gooey center with a cherry in the middle. Don't try and trick me either, you won't like my response.

CONCLUSION:
No gooey centers with cherries.
... Don't try this at home, right? I hate 'em, too. Gimme Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or give me death ...

ISSUE #5:Reparations

As a general worldwide policy we, the thieves, should return whatever we have stolen. I doubt the thieves are going to buy into this. As an American, I think at least Wyoming and maybe a couple Southern states should be given to the Native Americans as a good faith beginning. No, not either of the Virginia's. I don't want to start a controversy or anything. Arkansas for sure, maybe Cuba too.

CONCLUSION:
Partial retun return of land with worthless substitution.
... Ya know, Mikey, where I cum from we speil "RetuRn" with two "Rs". Jus' saying, buddy ... ;)


ISSUE #6: The English language

The term, "baby bump" should be banned. A definition for "tweet", "blog", and "lollygag" should be added to all standard dictionaries. "Often" should be pronounced with a silent "T" so my grandmother can finally rest in peace. "Foyer" should be pronounced "foy-yay" not "foy-your", again my Grams and no doubt a million others. I'm okay with lingerie pronounced as "ling-ur-ee", that's cute.

CONCLUSION:
Fix it.
... Now, all a' what you sed here made purfect cents to me, Mikey. But what the hell is "lingerie?" Is that when ya linger too long out front 'a Old Man Clapper's store and he calls the cops on ya then they lay ya out?
An' what in tarnation is a foyer anyways?

ISSUE #7: Religion

All religions, religious doctrine, shrines and churches should be banned and replaced with a flyer distributed worldwide. It will state, "God is love. Do onto others, as you'd have them do onto you."

CONCLUSION:
Ban it.
... I ain't even gonna go there ...

ISSUE #8: The economy

Jobs producing NOTHING of value should receive NO pay. Does that not make perfect sense? Does it really make sense that people make money and in fact become wealthy doing work that produces nothing? Wow. Really? Then vote your conscience or lack of it as the case may be.

CONCLUSION:
Return to hunter gatherer system.
Until a rebel gets nomnated to run fer Prez, I ain't a' gonna vote a'tall!

ISSUE #9: The meaning of life

The purpose of life is to create. The bane of life is to destroy. The destructors entice and force the creators into the necessity of destroying the destructors in order that the creators might have a chance to survive and create. THAT is the cause of man's demise.

Since both good and evil exists within each of us, it is possible for good to emerge victorious. We must appeal to good with every action and every thought. It IS NOT easy or even natural for the most part.

Pursue love always, never give up or accept any barrier or acquiesce to any perceived norm. It is meant to be a part of every moment of your life, from your first breath until your last. Love heals any injury to any heart ALWAYS.

CONCLUSION:
Love and create.
... Life has a porpoise and a meanin'? Well...I'll be dogged ...

Comforting conclusion

I will accept the Presidency of the United States if I'm elected. I won't get a haircut and I'm sure my hair won't turn grey.
... Runnin' a country will do that to ya, turn yer hair gray, I mean. Jumpin' Jeezus on a Palomino Pony, Prezadent Obama looks like that old woman from Stephen King's story "The Stand". The one who went by the name of Mother Abagail Freemantle.
I got proof!

    Sex relieves stress. Okay. Pretend to be under stress as a sympathy ploy...
    Why not just get more Canadian bacon? The pineapple could be used to entice sex partners somehow. I haven't worked that out yet.
    Okay, Only one "R" in Reese's. That should make up for any injustice.
    A foyer is a basketball player, a guard I think.
    Don't vote. I'll refer them to you.
    Okay, love and create AND get a dog. Yep, that IS perfection.
    My God, he looks just like her. LOL I swear, I've always noticed the aging as have we all in the Presidents. But, NEVER have I seen one age like this dude. WOW. He's aged thirty years. Poor Michele. She's going to have to dump him or put him in a home.
    You should post this review, Dean, it's better than my piece.
    Hey, come by on Sunday for the Prose Potlatch. It's non-fiction, should be fun. Thanks a million, mikey

    Hahaha, you're welcome, Mikey.

    I usually have class here on Sunday nights at 8:00 pm, Mike (mountainwriter's (Ray) Writing in Meter 103), and before that I'm scrambling around trying to get all of my homework done. I'll do my best to participate, though, I promise.

    I'd eat the pizza too. The question is who ordered it? I'm guessing Ehrlichman. Nooooo! It was that punk, John Dean ... baby face little stool pidgeon.
    Okay, I'm appointing you language girl. I think I'm going to win. I have the cool chick vote. YES!!!! mikey

This would make a great weekly or bi-weekly column in the newspaper. Title it 'Mikey Says'.
To move on, I think an interplanetary-alien got into your gene pool. I can only imagine what fun he had.

Unique unto The Mikster. Thus it is written. 'No gooey centers with cherries.'; 'Love and create.' And for god's sake give Arkansas back. Let the Indians fix it.

    I was leaning towards the Pakistanis, but then I found out Arkansas isn't even broke, it came out of the box just like it is. Wow. Those alien dreams are real? Indeed, they DID have their fun!!!!!! I'll have to go with the weekly column, I'm totally committed to the whole female thing.
    Love and create. I like that idea. Thanks so much, mikey
