What is a town hall meeting?

We go to a town hall meeting. 

• Everyone there knows everyone else. 
• I say something that somebody else does not like. 
• The next day, that somebody does not come to my store and buy what I sell.  
• Instead they go elsewhere  -- Walmart.

So I live in an environment where my political stance has economic conseuences.

History And Men

Men?  What does Jix;eu  mean here?  He speaks of the whole of man kind.  He speaks as if we in the West should discover some truth and as if by magic all other men in all other cultures will see it and conform to it.  

It doesn't work that way.  People don't change their culture that way.  

Each  parent bears the responsibility for rasing a child to adulthood in such a way that the child can take up a mature role.  Yet, all too many parents  -- if one can actually use that word in so many cases --  fall short of that mark.  I'm sure that they do not do so deliberatly.  Circumstances, lack of knowledge, and a host of variables produce a small number of folk who fall behind.  or don't get it. 

History and it's study does not fix this.  Good parenting does. 

Why Paris?

Why Paris. 

· [1]It’s France.

· Yes!  The same France the received Syria as a League of nations  mandate at the end of World War I.

· And no.  It was not a good experience. 

· Just ask Ho Chi Min about how it was to live under French domination.

· Shh,  don’t say Algeria.
