| Introduction | By most standards, my early adult life was intense, exciting, unbridled, and at times, uncommon. Then by uninformed choice it became rather ordinary and more sustainable. I like to write about a variety of large and small life issues. Politically, I am especially concerned about the level of ignorance among the American electorate and the level of hate-filled rhetoric that is hurting our country today. So much of what I read on the Internet is factually incorrect and people seem to think nothing of making wild unfounded accusations, which then get passed around until many naive and gullible people soon think the accusations are true. I believe this kind of behavior is seriously hurting our country. Meanwhile, it just keeps getting curiouser and curiouser. |

Your people want to make a statue in your honor. What will it be made out of and what victory will it commemorate?
It should be made of wet sand and built near the ocean's edge. There, on a flood tide, it will be eroded and dissipated by the advancing sea and become simply sand on a beach, once more. Then, it will have demonstrated the impermanence of life and commemorate the victory of wisdom over ignorance.
