lyrycsyntyme commented on: Wedding Guest (Part III) by allets 2 years 28 weeks* ago* haha: No need to slow down or truncate, at least not in my opinion. : ) I was honestly waiting till you were at least a couple of parts in before reading, figuring I could sit with it grouped together and read.

lyrycsyntyme commented on: Oh Christopher Rock! by allets 2 years 28 weeks* ago* Don't care much for hollywood and it's nouveau riche lords: But I heard of "the event", and all I can say is that the aristocrats have been beating the drums of war so hard that the rage is even starting to enter the outer edges of their ranks. When violence is at the core of who we aspire to be, it cannot hide for long. [ go to comment ]

lyrycsyntyme commented on: Democratization by lyrycsyntyme 2 years 28 weeks* ago* At least we get some of it: At least we get some of it right, when we laugh and love. Accumulation clogs the drain. Then we throw the baby out with the bathwater, and declare we're starting fresh. Rinse, repeat. Education is a good idea. We lean on the state to do it, though. The state will teach subservience to the state. And, of course, with the state being run by corporate interests, that means eternal consumer zombi-ism. I don't know the full answer to this. It will never work when the state is the teacher. But we can't do without education, either. My dad, as well as my mom, taught my siblings and I constantly in the home. That is essential, I think. Parents, to the fullest degree they can, must be active teachers. Morally/ethically, yes. But also, educators. It's the only way to override the system. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Branded by lyrycsyntyme 2 years 28 weeks* ago* Presentation is significant, indeed: Where I live, these days, it's normal for a parent to introduce their children to guns. They are often introduced as a hunting tool, where-in many people here rely on success in hunting to secure enough food for the year. Teaching children how to respect and utilize the rifle is normal. In homes without children, you walk in the door and the rifle is sitting in the doorway or by someone's bed. It's not uncommon. Having grown up in a city where the only guns I'd ever had seen where in the hands of the military occupation called the NYPD and, in rare cases, in the posession of mafia or gang members, this was very out of my imagination. But, while Nyc was relatively lacking in violence for a city, there is essentially no violence in the town I am in. No "home invasions", no armed robbery, no murder. Some of that, I would presume, is due to the way the gun is presented generation to generation, and some of it is the knowledge a would-be criminal has that if you enter someone's home, they probably have a rifle waiting for you. Then there's the space. Space is important. In the city, it was always hard to get space to cool off when upset. For people who are specifically prone to violence, this would be a recipe for disaster. There's a lot more space here, for sure. My "small" property is the size of 2 football fields. [ go to comment ]
