Those who don't remember History will be doomed to repeat it. Those who REMEMBER history are doomed to be dragged into repeating it by the fools who forgot.
The worst of my acts have been adjudicated and are part of the public record. Debts have been paid. Live and learn. Some debts, not of my making, remain unpaid. Drag me back there and there will be no mercy. No mercy--from me.
@sneakypete @Smokin Joe Those things from the unresolved past don't tear me up so much, thankly, for your advice.
And here is the thing. I actually take to heart and listen to the MEN I know, so when the other kids in my family, nieces and nephews, some I have spent very little time with, call and ask for my advice, I can give them advice. When my father passed in 2014 I asked myself how can I ever be the man he (is). There are the other two thirds of Millenials who get it. My kids do. And there is a lot of nature/nurturing that goes on around here.
But then again, cross that line.
What I am saying is there are enough people, young, smart, and willing, to make the world go round and round.
And there are enough men and women to make sure those kids understand that.
These articles sorta/kinda piss me off. 1/3 don't get it? Don't make the other 2/3rd's pay for it.
