Saturday 9: Whenever I Call You "Friend"

Crazy Sam's Saturday 9: Whenever I Call You "Friend"

1) How did you meet your best friend?
In second grade, we were both interested in rockets

2) Mother Winters used to say she loved all us kids equally, but at various times she liked one of us more than the others. Does your "friend ranking" ever shift? Or is the person you think of today as your best friend always #1?
Yes, it does change over time and in different circumstances.

3) What makes you a good friend?
I listen and don’t judge

4) Think back to your childhood -- what games did you and your friends like to play?
We were never into sports, we were into science.

5) Would you rather lose your hair, or the little toe on your left foot? (Yes, you must commit to giving one up.)
I already lost my hair.

6) Think of the phrase, "like nails on a blackboard." What is your least favorite sound?
That is the sound that sends shivers up my spine

7) Do you add fabric softener to your wash or place a softener sheet in the dryer?
I don’t use either one, I’m allergic to them.

8) Showtime, HBO, or neither?
Neither, I have Netflix on my computer.

9) Have you ever fired a gun?
Yes when I was a teenager and I also took skeet shooting in college for a gym course.

I'm curious -- what kind of games would a science loving child play? I bet if a youngster has a proclivity for math he or she would gravitate toward Monopoly. I know I always loved words and played Boggle and Scrabble. So what does a budding scientist play?

Oh, I like "Gal's" question. Science was not terribly interesting to me as a kid, but as an adult is.

oh my son loves science stuff - he has stuff that he can make electric circuits - turn it into a radio or a light; he had chemistry stuff, there's nothing like a bottle of coke and some mentos ;-)

Happy Saturday!

Another Netflix fan. I use Amazon for pay for view so I get away with a @20.00 cable bill to get the basic cable. A bargain.

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
