I have been reading “On Becoming A Person” by Carl Rogers and Re-reading John Stuart Mill’s “On Liberty” often these days. As I sit before my desk thinking of the new year, thinking about the surgery I just had, and thinking about my great life I am going to have, I realize the differences we all have in our goals. No body in this world is the same, but every body needs to show their individuality which makes them unique amongst anybody else. Especially Individuals who are Autistic (Asperger’s or Autism). I am a person with unique inspiring talents to bring vision just like anybody else.  A world of connectivity, a world with a great network of people to spread our minds out further than what we do  right now. Right now we only use 10 % of our minds, we need to use more!

Connecting our brain waves to an utterly clean waveform of living in this world. A mind with waveforms which are never ending in the spectrum of learning. Talk to every single person in your neighborhood wherever you live, wherever you go in this world to communicate the  perception that individuals  in this world including people who are Autistic  become a person like anybody else  eventually.  Whether Neurotypical or Autistic we are in the end all trying to become a person.   Some more slowly than others, but in the end we all become a person.

It is said by Carl Rogers  On Becoming A Person, in What it means to become a person, page 122, Rogers states,

“to recognize that ‘I am the one who chooses’ and ‘I am the one who determines the value of an experience for me’ is both an invigorating and a frightening realization.”

I feel this is an inspiring quote from this mighty book by Carl Rogers because it makes everybody realize we ALL are choosers for ourselves. People who are on the Autism Spectrum like myself may need help getting there a bit more, but eventually we  get there just like individuals who are considered Neurotypicals.  It may seem like we are hopeless at first, but that is only your perception of something on the outside. There is deeper wisdom inside of People on the Autism Spectrum that can do inventions and great things the world is waiting to see.

In another quote I found by John Stuart Mill’s  “On Liberty,” Of thought and discussion chapter page 19,  Mill states,

“Because he has felt that the only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion,…No wise man ever acquired his wisdom in any mode but this; nor is it in the nature of human intellect to become wise in any other manner.”

This quote says many things.  In my opinion,  John Stuart Mill is telling every one to listen to every human voice in this world, every breathing human being because every one’s uniqueness rises and flourishes in the end.  Mine is just beginning.

I feel Mill and Rogers views are connected in some way.  I feel by connecting every thought or idea people have, you get great invention.

Take it easy and think about this… more to come on this topic…

The definition of Freedom is very vague when you look it up in the dictionary since it means many different things to many different people. I feel one of the best freedoms to have is your own sense of psychological freedom. Psychological freedom means to be able to think for yourself and not have anyone influence how you think. It is the ability to be able to make your own judgments, decisions and have the ability to formulate your own opinions and ideas. As individuals we have the right to never give up and to be able to have success in order to feel our own self-worth. It is important for every individual to have a sense of worthiness and a high level of esteem to feel good about themselves.

People on the Autism Spectrum are variable and may seem slower in some areas than others. Trying to get individuals on the Autism Spectrum to achieve their goals takes patience, cooperation, and knowledge about the spectrum. This knowledge creates many different people to know how fast or how slow to teach the individual on the Autism Spectrum.  Once achieved Spectrumites need to speak for themselves rather than others speaking for them.

The Autism Spectrum is very variable which is why they call it a Spectrum of disorders. Some individuals need more attention to achieve their goals toward success. The many success stories of people on the Autism Spectrum came about because these individuals had the support of people in their life to help them. These individuals are capable of reaching their goals with the proper support system in their lives.

There are individuals in my life that believe that I have achieved my goals. They are very mistaken. What I have achieved to date is the stepping stone for me to move another step up the ladder to my many lists of goals. There are many achievements left that I wish to achieve and I know with time I will.

A success story consists of being happy for who you are. The more you achieve your goals, the more successful you become. You must always start out with small goals and work yourself up to the bigger ones until many achievements lead to success.

Individuals on the Autism Spectrum deserve every right to achieve the goals they want and live a life just like anybody else. You can not speak for anyone even those who can not talk. There are so many means of communication other than talking in expressing self-identity.

I hope people read this posting now allowing themselves to realize how important it is for every individual to express themselves. Helen Keller who could not see and hear was a success story because she developed ways to express herself. Individuals on the Autism Spectrum have ways to express themselves, you just have to listen, if not with your ears, with any other sense that you have.

Remind yourself everyday I am teaching an individual on the Autism Spectrum who is different and I am making a difference in this world. The world of difference in this world could turn out to be better than the world is today.

Many people love people for certain reasons. Reasons that are unexplainable by the man or woman who loves the person. There are so many different forms of love. The one true love is trusting and ultimately being so committed that you only want to love the one person who you truly love. Though, you can like a friend to be only platonic love where the one person you love will never be greater than just a friendship.

There are many movies that show the true feelings of love, one that will come out soon called “Adam” with Hugh Dancy which is still in post production while the other is “The Truth about Cats and Dogs” with Janine Garofalo. These movies and much more are to show the getting to know a person so much that you just have to fall in love with them.

Commitment is very hard. Just because somebody looks gorgeous doesn’t mean they are for you. We may like them a lot and think about them, but in the end if we ever meet them in person they become ugly. Which brings me to a story or a past theory of mine, there is four areas of a person that each person weighs on when evaluating if they truly love a person or not. This varies from person to person:

Pretty outside, Pretty inside

Ugly outside, Pretty inside

Pretty outside, Ugly inside

Ugly outside, Ugly Inside

These categories are what I created. Yet, The ones that get the most underlooked are the Ugly on the outside, Pretty in the inside because most people don’t recognize these people. The ones who do see these types of people are the ones who have potential to be in love. Yet, everybody strives to have the first one I mentioned, but everyone is meant to be with a person for a specific reason and it is very hard to find a person like the first I mentioned. Somebody who finds someone to be ugly in the inside might be completely pretty to a different person. Or a person who finds a person is pretty in the inside, the other person might think differently. It all varies from individual to individual. That is what makes us individuals with our own feelings and intuitions. We meet certain people for a reason who complete us. Every individual has their own feelings on who they feel is in what category.

This creates a sense of individuality where everybody finds someone to love them. Just don’t think superficially think deeper than that. Think if the person you are with is the person that fits you emotionally and intellectually.

In order to find a person you love, you must figure out your common interests and your common dislikes. From that you find the person you want to love.

I remember when I was younger and the “Truth about Cats and Dogs” came out I must have seen it a thousand times because it inspired me. It teaches me to be confident and accepting of myself to allow people to love me for who I am and to see the truth in others. I have not seen the movie in a few years and seeing it on television tonight with my granny sparked the influence again.

To me, if someone is shallow and only sees the looks, they will miss the one true love in their life. It is what brings joy to life even for people on the Autism Spectrum who have those loving feelings as well.

A movie I can’t wait to see come out in theaters and I hope the critics love it very much is the Hugh Dancy film called “Adam.” It will be phenomenal.

Anyway, I know someday I will find that person for myself, but please take it easy and I will post again soon. Enjoy this video I put up.

It will be the International Cardiac and Vascular Ultrasound Society (ICVUS) for people on the Autism Spectrum who want to speak up and let our voices be heard in the Ultrasound community.    Soon I will be talking to the ARDMS about my plans because I want to create this organization since the current organizations do not have advocacy for people on the Autism Spectrum or other people with disabilities.

George, you wanted to know what my plan of action and this is it.   I would definitely want to achieve this  organization where Neurotypicals who do either Cardiac or Vascular Ultrasound interact with people on the Autism Spectrum who also do Cardiac and Vascular Ultrasound or for those people on the Autism Spectrum who would like to.

As I am already in the field, I will let others know that this organization will be in effect and a meeting will soon be starting in New York City.

This organization will be the forefront to a new and beautiful achievement of mine which will guarantee other people with Autism Spectrum or other disabilities can achieve success as well.

Hope you have a great day,

Think of the book by Benejamin Hoff called “The Tao of Pooh” and read it sometime this week letting me know what you think.

My favorite poem from that book is when Pooh recites Cottleston Pie.

Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie,
A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly.
Ask me a riddle and I reply
Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie.

Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie,
Why does a chicken? I don't know why.
Ask me a riddle and I reply
Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie.

Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie,
A fish can't whistle and neither can I.
Ask me a riddle and I reply
Cottleston Cottleston Cottleston Pie.

-- A. A. Milne

if you dig deep into that poem especially the first line of the poem, A fly can’t bird, but a bird can fly. What does it mean to you and how does it reply to all people including people on the Autism Spectrum. When I was reading my book that I had gotten when I was a child a found a connection on what the Autism Vaccine Activists should read about what makes people people.

Well, Benjamin Hoff implies that things are the way they are and many people ignore that very fact. The Autism Vaccine Activists are especially guilty of this fact. They generally feel that they can change a person by the way of putting efforts into curing the very aspect that makes their child a person. Instead of just letting them be the person who they are, let them grow in the way they grow. Growing up requires encouragement from parents to their children especially for children on the Autism Spectrum. If a parent ceases to change something that is unchangeable by curing that person, you cease that person from existence making a new person. To me, that is not the way to attempt to help a child on the Autism Spectrum. Benjamin Hoff says in his book, “The wise know their limitations; the foolish do not.”

There are many parents of children on the Autism Spectrum that want to change everything about their child. My mother only did everything to make me and continues to try and make me the best man I can be. She knows her limitations and she also knows that all people never stop changing and improving on their own. Making mistakes is a part of life, its a learning curve. The more mistakes you make the better the man or woman someone becomes.

People on the Autism Spectrum like myself make many mistakes and sometimes we get frustrated by acting out, and that is just the frustration of a day that brought much struggle. When toughening up on those that do not try and hurt us, many people become alarmed. Yet, if adults and children alike had ways to act out skits to toughen up on the people that hurt us rather than the people that don’t, then may be many people will not be so alarmed. People on the Autism Spectrum do not know how to react to Neurotypical society when a single ignorant Neurotypical pushes us Aspies and Auties around.

We should all know our limitations and be eager to encourage anybody to better themselves rather than encourage ways to rid the very aspect about creating the child to become a man or a woman.

Think Aspie, Think Autie, Think Pride, Don’t Think Cure!

Ignorance goes a long ways sometimes and this has to stop!!!!

PS Watch this video from Hercules Movie and listen to the song by Michael Bolton and you shall see what I mean about my fellow Autism Spectrumites and I. We are the hero’s of this world not any one of the ignorant ones that want to cure…

In the article titled Autism Rights Movement featured in the May 25, 2008 issue of New York Magazine, Andrew Solomon discusses the three sides to the Autism debate: Autism Spectrum Disorders are believed to be caused by environmental toxins (vaccines) which need to be cured; genetic factors that need to be investigated through the genome; and those that believe that Autism is genetic and should be left untouched because it is just NeuroDiversity. The three sides go to battle over what is right.

For the purpose of this article many people feel their side of the issue on Autism whether it is an epidemic caused by environmental factors, hereditary researching for gene therapies, or hereditary and leaving the issue alone calling for NeuroDiversity is a debate for the ages. A cause for Autism is important to know about, but what is more important is to understand people who are on the Autism Spectrum now from infants to senior citizens who need the support and proper help. In my opinion NeuroDiversity is very important for all of us to understand since there are many different types of diversity including cultural, religious, racial, and even sexual orientation diversity, however, NeuroDiversity relates to everybody.

Initially in the article, the NYU Child Study Center ransom notes from December 2007 were discussed. This describes the Autism Spectrum and makes them feel as if they can’t function in the world. It believes that there should be a division between Autism Spectrum and Neurotypicals. This is segregation, which implies that people on the Autism Spectrum are incapable of living on their own. Besides, segregation always led to discord. Autism Vaccine Activists have to realize people on the Autism Spectrum are Human beings with feelings and opinions too. The most important quote from Jim Sinclair from 1993 in his “Don’t Mourn for us” speech was cited in the article and highly reputable by many people. This is a heart wrenching quote. I am glad it was written into this article because Jim Sinclair really tells everybody the personable feelings that Spectrumites have. As one person says to another, “I am a person, and I have feelings too.” The Autism Spectrum community wants to make sure we are helping each other out not trying to dissolve one another.

Many Vaccine Activists claim the Spectrumites that believe in NeuroDiversity, are not really Autistic at all! The Vaccine Activists belief is that NeuroDiversity Activists give lower functioning people with Autistic Disorder a real reason to feel they can function like a regular person. The Vaccine Activists need to realize individuals on the Spectrum can have dreams and goals that hopefully can be achieved one day. These individuals are capable of achieving what they want in their life, if they have the support and help to move toward the goals they desperately want. It just takes the right kind of commitment, patience, and learning to achieve their goals. When I saw Autism: The Musical, I saw that kind of patience, commitment, and learning. Since the Spectrum is so broad, people need to understand that not everyone will learn the same way; it is an individualized learning process.

Learning processes that many Spectrumites have are based on their own special interest, an intense preoccupation or obsession on a particular topic. Spectrumites talk about being in constant motion. Spectrumites become so knowledgeable that they have or show intelligence, often of a higher order of that topic. This is even more advanced then the Neurotypicals. Since many Spectrumites begin school with Neurotypicals at a young age, they are misunderstood by their learning process because they don’t want to learn the many academics because they are incapable of focusing within the structure of the classroom that is designed for a Neurotypical child. The lower the functioning of Spectrumites, the more they are intensified in their interest and if you disrupt them, they become agitated. Many people with lower functioning Autistic Disorder seem less likely to function in the world at a very young age all throughout life than say someone like me with Asperger Disorder. It takes practice and guidance. I had guidance from my mother and now I have guidance from many other different people especially from a program in New York City called Adaptations. Many people on the Autism Spectrum need to be taught to adjust to the majority Neurotypical world we live in. It is highly important to be interdependent like most people are in the world.

People on the Autism Spectrum like myself have the task to teach others about the spectrum. Then we won’t be afraid to express our deep thoughts and feelings. Both the Autism Spectrum and the Neurotypical community are very broad and diverse. The clinical, educational & lay people must realize treating someone who is on the spectrum requires different protocol than treating a child with mental illness. Realizing this will give a boost to self-esteem to anyone on the Autism Spectrum since many people like myself on the spectrum have low self-esteem.

New York Magazine stresses acceptance of everybody in this world instead of a life where many Spectrumites like myself had a life of cruel and unusual circumstances. People run away without looking back to try and help, but people must ask any Spectrumite if they need help. I have seen too many times where Neurotypicals poke fun and bully people on the spectrum including myself. It hurt me when this happened and hurts when I hear it happens to other people as well like Alex Barton in Florida.

When I read the article, it felt like the author, Andrew Solomon is in the process of learning about the Autism Spectrum because he began realizing that it may not be an epidemic after all. There still needs to be more work done so that we all can live a better life in this world. Many things need to be done in order to achieve a way to less frustration for all of us and not to be afraid of making mistakes because mistakes are a part of life.

It seems to me that some parents are afraid to start to teach their child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder. They are afraid of the many obstacles they will encounter, but any journey in life always brings obstacles. Families must deal with many different kinds of obstacles. These obstacles strengthen people, it doesn’t hurt them. If the child with an Autism Spectrum Disorder succeeds at some special interest the world will reward and admire him. then he or she will become like the great people who had an Autism Spectrum Disorder. Success does not come easy and one usually encounters many obstacles. To me, Autism Vaccine Activists are too afraid to face these eventual obstacles. It is human nature to know what caused what, but in the end it really does not matter at all except giving the love to the infant, child, adult, or senior who are on the Autism Spectrum and have a safe, happy, and prosperous journey through the child’s life to adulthood.

Read New York Magazine from last week and you will see the article done by Andrew Solomon on Autism Rights Movement. I hope you enjoyed reading the editiorial.

Life at the moment seems unpredictable.  Doesn’t seem unpredictable all the time though.  Things in life turn the wheel in several ways.  There is good, there is bad, which way does the wheel turn for you.   We all hope the wheel turns a certain way that gives us the enjoyment we need in life.  Yet, when something bad happens, we tend to get very emotional and want pity.  What is pity anyways? Pity is from the American Heritage  Dictionary online says that Pity is, Sympathy and sorrow aroused by the misfortune or suffering of another. 2. A matter of regret.

Is it alright to Pity someone or yourself?  Or is it better to rise from the occasion and move on up in to the world.

Self-Pity is the most common type of Pity, yet it just gets other people upset.

It makes others feel that you are being too hard on yourself.

When Jerks walk through the door and  he/she feel they can step all over you, you allow it to happen, and create self-pity because you allowed a Jerk to rule your life.

Everybody should read John Stuart Mill’s On Liberty and tell me what you think.

Liberty is well to many people Liberty is different.  How much freedom does people need in this world?

We have Ethics which are unwritten rules of the world, we have religious rules, we have government rules, and we have many other different types of rules.  If we didn’t have rules, then people would run wild and their would be chaos in this world.

Ethics is very important because it gives us rules to live by, government rules are the MOST important because then we know what to expect where we live, and religious rules are not so important.

Religion is man-made, and people need religion to believe in faith when in fact just to have faith is believing in the eternal one.  People think that they say prayers only in the place of worship, yet every time we talk in public about something that is either bothering us, giving us hope, angry about something, … we are saying prayers to the faith up their who is listening to us.  So, in essence, we still go to our place of worship because then we know that we are respecting the faith up there beyond us.  Whatever religion you believe in it is all history and storytelling.   We don’t know what to believe, yet we believe in what was taught to us as a baby.  No matter what we all must have faith.

We must all obey all rules in life.  Ethics, Governmental, and if you want to whatever religion you believe in because these rules give order.

The question is how do we determine the rules and the freedom.   It is very debatable.   People can debate this to kingdom come, but the frank of it all is that is why we vote for who we want into governmental jobs. We vote to whoever will give us the rules we want in life.  The United States is very very big with more people in this country then ever before to debate.

So, whoever votes, not everyone will be happy with the outcome and everyone has their own viewpoints.

Majority rules in this case because if there are a majority of people who want something, then that is what the country gets.

The minority of people that don’t want what the majority got into office causes controversy.

Controversy rules history and will always be in history.   There will always be feuds of people arguing with one another till the end of time.

Everyone desires different things, yet the only one who knows what is right is the perfection of the faith up there that knows what is right.  We can argue yes we can argue, but we won’t know the truth till we are old and gray lying on our deathbeds.   So, live your life and debate the issues because we are different from lower vertebrates because we have the ability to reason and debate.

Go out there and talk with people to try and get your viewpoints across because we need to get our viewpoints across especially people on the autism spectrum live myself because this is NOT AN EPIDEMIC.

AUTISM, ASPERGERS, PDD have been around for thousands and thousands of years since the world first started and the fact that there are more people being diagnosed with these syndromes just goes to show you that this world is being more aware of it.

This is genetic and we need to prove that to the whole world.  Let us ALL be heard.

Have a great day and take it easy,

They say the United States is in a Recession. Yet, We are in the Great Depression of 2008.    There are many things that are happening now which is why the government has issued the economic stimulus checks for all taxpayers.  The US dollar is very weak now.   The price of gasoline up.  People are complaining and someone has to do something about it.  Complaining solves nothing. Depression solves nothing. Yet, there are people becoming very depressed and mental health issues arise more and more.

The issues of the government are becoming disastrous.   New York State alone is having many problems.

Yet, this world is messed up and how we all spend our money.  No one spends their money with extreme precise budgeting in getting things when absolutely necessary.

When this country needs to focus on certain issues, the whole country and its people spend their money on things and people that they really don’t need to survive.  We are all guilty of that.

Survival of the Fittest is very important.  What ever happened to surviving especially they way this country is is right now.

We are in a war. No matter what anyone complains about that Bush created it, we are in war! It first started as the Iraq war, but it is more than that.  Now, we have too many people with mental health issues because of the Iraq war and now we are intending to forget all about them like the vietnam war, korean war, and world war II vets were once forgotten.

We have a war on CIVIL RIGHTS for people on the Autism Spectrum like myself who deserve to achieve the success that all these Neurotypicals can succeed at.  In any case, Spectrumites are smarter than Neurotypicals.  Its just that Neurotypicals feel that their world is Supreme and everyone should abide by their supreme world.  Yet, we all can learn from one another and create a world where everyone learns from eachother instead of figuring out who is wrong and who is right.

The living culture of this world is diving down with even many other different things that need to be addressed.

You have the fact that the population is increasing with more and more births a day.  Water is decreasing and food consumption and intake is out of balance.

Anyway, Aspergia Greets is coming sometime today,

take it easy and hopefully the next President can do something about it.  It looks like it will be Obama for President.  I feel he has the right state of mind especially when it comes to people with disabilities such as the Autism Spectrum and helping any body with disabilities.  Obama can serve this world better if he can come in 2009 with rolling up his sleeves and getting right to the bottom of this whole mess to fix up. It will take a good 10 years before the mess is fixed, but at least it will be better.

Yet, this country and this world for that matter needs to remember (and after telling my family yesterday) if there were no struggling in this world then this world would be boring because it would be perfect.

I am not saying that is right for people to struggle because heck I am struggling, but this world needs to have that someone else who can step up to the plate to help.  We all need to help one another and that is the bottom line. No body can be selfish and inconsiderate because when you know that people are struggling like myself and people around me, you must help out.    I feel that this is what the world is about to help one another out and try not to be selfish.  My grandma feels that you must always think of yourself and be independent, but it is more being INTERDEPENDENT then Independent, grandma.

One last note, at the AHA conference I heard a speaker say that if you were totally independent you would be doing everything yourself like grazing food, milking cows, making gasoline for your car, fixing your car, etc.  Interdependence is very important, balancing our lives.

Helping out, balancing our lives are two very important factors in our lives.   We are all guilty of being selfish in different degrees of selfishness.

Aspergia Greets to come next,

Figuring the world out takes a lot of time and experience. For Neurotypicals, this is as easy as 1-2-3.

For people on the spectrum it takes more practice and more time to understand how the world works. For instance, when you take the Latin community for example, there are many people in that community to begin with that know that every one who doesn’t speak Spanish must speak Spanish in order to communicate with them. I have many friends in the Spanish community especially George. Though, when I look at my friends like George, I think to myself they are nothing like those other Spanish people that feel that way. Which goes to show you that not everyone in every culture is the same. The same goes for Asperger people like myself too. You can not judge a book by its cover. Though sometimes my other Spanish friends tend to speak in Spanish when they don’t want me to hear what they are saying. Ha, since I do know Spanish, I can figure out the words, but they counter it by speaking even faster than the speed of light just to make sure I don’t hear them. Geez, I wonder what they are saying. Well, that is why it is none of my business.

Anyway, Neurotypicals find it very easy to figure out the world and how it seems to everyone else. Some Neurotypicals tend to have not so much easy patience when it comes to Asperger people trying to understand. The ones that do have patience, understand a lot more.

The very aspect of our desires to understand the world and figuring out how to survive is a natural part of our creation. The eternal one created this world in order to accept a mission, but with every mission there are challenges. And every challenge gives us the primary feelings to overcome it for most. Though, some people find it too difficult to overcome the challenge so they just let themselves go. Meaning they tend to give up. No body should give up.

Giving up on life and not heading into the challenge is not the way to go. Living with trying to overcome that challenge by working with your strengths to improve your weaknesses is the best way to do anything.

To Aspies like myself, we are better than Neurotypicals in the world because of our challenges.

These people like myself and other Aspies and Spectrumites, other people with disabilities, and the older population like my parents, or people of different cultures looking for full time jobs with benefits. It is amazing that people do not want to employ people on the spectrum, people with other disabilities, people like my parents who are in the older category which entails the baby boomer’s, or people of different cultures that need jobs. This society is messed up. Employers only want to employ those who are “Perfect” in their own minds. Ones that are NT, young, with no other disabilities, and of course the same culture as the employer. That is messed up. How can that be. And when an employer sees a person with any of those categories or all of those categories, they get worried that the job won’t get done properly. Even when the employer chooses to employ part time to start out. An employer must allow EVERYONE (not just specific people) to be able to SUCCEED in life. Everyone has the willing right to succeed in life, not just those that are faster, younger, or different in any way.

I see it with my parents searching for jobs, I see it with myself at work where I am just part time and not full time, and I also see it with people of different nationalities to the employer that is trying to seek employees.

The Civil Rights movement happened for a reason, and we ALL must abide by it.

Civil Rights not only applies to every nationality, but to every type of disability such as Asperger Syndrome, and to the Older Baby Boom population.

For instance, this country is getting older and older which means that people are living longer lives. This means that people are going to work longer and not retire at 65 years old. Retirement should be extended to at least 70 years old so that people are staying off Social Security and earning income.

Income is important for everyone to earn and that includes every human being that wants to work and earn a living.

The recession has started and that means job loss, but it just means that we must work harder at helping each other out because that is what the eternal one created us for. He didn’t create us to be selfish, petty, and sneering at those that are different.

WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE in our own ways creating self fulfillment and self worth and dignity or pride in ourselves.

Just take a look at Governor Patterson, he is a prime example of what different can do. Sometimes different can do better than the same.

Anyway, take it easy,
