CORONA LOCK DOWN I was in prison for 28 years. I did substantial portions of that time in prison inside the prison. I prison we make light of many things. One of those things, that no one in prison actually wants to ever have to deal with, is prison inside the prison--solitary confinement or segregation. When you get in a fight that goes bad ( by you hurting someone too much) or you get confirmed as a gang member or you get in a physical confrontation with one of the guards that work at the prison you wind up in solitary confinement. You only get one hour of the day out of your cell. And that's only on the days the guards feel like it. You get to live around people that have slightly and completely lost their minds. The only time you get to interact with these other people is by yelling over the walkways or going outside to your designated cage while they are in their's. All of your movements are restricted. Even more so than in regular prison popul...
ULTIMATE And, so, I wont be the one saying nice things about the dead today. The dead don't care what we think, or say, about them. The dead have done their deeds. They have lived their lives. For better or worse. And every fallen soldier isn't a hero. Many who died were cowards. Many more were the ones who were stupid, who were foolish, and died therefore. So I will put something together for the fallen WARRIORS. The ones whose sacrifices allowed the others to return home. The sheep dog is our wolf. The sheep dog, to me, is a wolf who is on OUR SIDE. And all of our enemies are well aware of this reality. Many in our society will attempt to white wash this fact. The ones who can't stand to see police doing anything aggressive. The ones who hate to see images of soldiers being brutal. These want to believe that OUR SIDE, and those who fight for us, are somehow above the ugly. But the truth is that in order to deal with the dirt of the world, those who would destroy and bru...
RESCUE ONE: Anyone, everyone, can be a hero. We all have our passions in life. Some are complex and complicated. Some are less so. What we are all individually passionate about doesn't matter. What matters is how we approach our life's focus. Some people like animals and spend their time working with them. Others like to help people less fortunate than themselves. Computer people work with computers. Engineers do the work of building. Visionaries see our future, in many different realms, and show us how to get to them all. Police do police work. Firefighters do their work. We all have our missions. And we get committed to them and rapped up in them in ways that don't give us time to stop and think about the world going on around us. As part of what each one of us does, as part of each one of our passions, what if we all took the time to rescue one thing in our spheres of influence each day? Do you think, lik...
