Saturday 9: How's It Gonna Be

Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: How's It Gonna Be

1. How's it gonna be in 2011 for you?
It is going to be great! I graduate in May with my MSW, but best of all, I get to go to the prom!

2. What is your idea of a perfect romantic evening?
Oh how many times have we heard this one…
A fire crackling in the fireplace, a delicious meal with a good bottle of wine.

3. What strategy would you implement to deal with drug abuse in today's world?
Oh wow, there is a jump from a romantic evening to solving world problems.
I would treat it as a medical problem. Legalize pot and let hard core addicts go on medicinal drugs. I want to get the profit motive out of drugs. It is just like Prohibition was in the ‘20s, the criminal elements fighting over territory.

4. What thing about your family are you least proud of?
I don’t think there is anything that I am not proud of with my family, they have all been so supportive that I am really proud of them.

5. What part of the holidays are you really looking forward to?
The food!

6. Who is the last person you high-fived? Why?
I don’t remember, it was just last week, but I don’t remember who or why.

7. Have you ever made out at a drive-in?
Yes, some 40 years ago when they had drive-ins. Half of you readers are probably thing either “What’s a drive-in” or why wondering why you would want to make love in a drive-thru?

8. If you had only enough energy left in you for one last smile, who would you give it to?
I would save it for a really special occasion.

9. Tell us about that time when you were the “life of the party”.
Back in my undergraduate days, some forty years ago.

Wow! Prom! How funny!
You make a lot of sense in your drug answer. Loved your drive-thru thing.

Have a great Saturday!

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
