But it seems to me that we are rapidly approaching the customs checkpoint, and how much of that baggage is going to be allowed through?Kittybritonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220277401017282618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196829553153577775.post-8402679580100150112013-09-24T05:34:35.679-07:002013-09-24T05:34:35.679-07:00The thing that scares me is the way that corporate...The thing that scares me is the way that corporate culture, and increasingly national culture seems to favor the promotion of the psychopath to positions of responsibility. They aren't the bloodied maniacs the media portrays them as, they seem warm, personable and perhaps even supportive as long as they can further their own agenda. But if the circumstance dictates they demonstrate that they have absolutely no conscience.Kittybritonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220277401017282618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7196829553153577775.post-32640083402966392382013-09-24T04:32:32.716-07:002013-09-24T04:32:32.716-07:00You can force a square peg into a round hole if it...You can force a square peg into a round hole if it's small enough. I was just too big to fit at all - they'd never employ me. So, the world missed out on a great joke there, LOL <br /><br />Yes, absolutely, people who read my blog tend to sit out here on the fringe with me.

By and large, we are looked at, strangely but as Freaks, we don't care.

This is why the aliens and demons would rather infiltrate our thought processes from the inside-out than show up in person and try to figure all this mess. [--Did I say that out loud? ;) LOL]<br /><br />Do you know what I consider 'telling' of a group? Their high school team mascot. In my area, we have 'marauders,' 'blue pirates,' and 'mountain lions,' to name a few. They say we liken ourselves to our ideals...and that labels are important when seeking to form a vision for any endeavor. <br /><br />My high school mascot: Pioneer.<br /><br />I think that says it. Of course, what's in a name? ;) ~ Blessings! :)Kathy Custrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687890338800680972noreply@blogger.com
