Ok, now, define "doing good", love. Now, do we both think it would be a kinder, safer, smarter, and saner world if, somehow, you got some Decision Maker's attention and they said "Yes, all this warmongering and senseless growth, and planet destruction is a. Pretty stupid and 2. Not at all what I wanted to be when I grew up." Yes...hell yes, maybe even fuck, yes, right? And as far as we both know, that didn't happen. Which sucks.(and not only because you are not a VIP that I send, well, mash notes, to. So as far as I know, my bitchy Guidance counselor was right and I haven't made much of myself. But I did find out later she had me mixed up with another chick in a mobility device who probably could have been wrangling 1s and 0s with you lot, and definitely should have kicked my ass in math. If she were getting my scores, that might well have been a crisis, but for the "Different people" thing. If only every scar could resolve so easily...)
I don't mean to say that my carrying it around while I do my activist thing is equivalent at all to the Best Outcome Ever, but it does focus me sometimes...earlier this week on the phones was, like, Psychos on parade...It might have been easy to quit. But I might have had to face you about it, and, soft spot or not, it might have taken more than virtual blowing in your ear to get past all that
