What Would Be Your Crusade?

Thanks, Minion, but this is not intended as a joke!

Sit on my ass and watch movies all day.

Seriously though, I think I'd want to write something... anything really. There are so many writings I've started and never finished, it's ridiculous. Either that or finish reading the multitude of books I've started and quit half way through, only to start on another... it's a never ending cycle.

Other than that, not much really. I might want to do a bit of research and get a little more in touch with my spiritual side... get to know my religion a little better than I do now.

i dunno why, but i was just thinking of a robot that i could have sex with. does that count as a crusade? sounds more like an x-mas list...

Mary!! It is good to see you hanging around here. You are truly one of the funniest people I've ever come across. And I mean funny in a good way. Well... Actually, that's a lie; you're funny in a bad way too.

My crusades? Lemme think:

1. A George Bush-free America
2. A free Tibet
3. Wipe out the class system in this country
4. The disarming of the entire planet
5. Seduce Meg White, and maybe the bass player for the Donnas

The last one was pretty selfish, I know. Nobody's perfect....

I won't touch this one, 'cept to say that I, personally, like economic prosperity.

What "class system" are you referring to, and how would you wipe it out?

"I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it."

Scary and darkly humorous at the same time. And, very probably, only too true!

OMG that is too funny! Who said that?

Jack Handey, of course.

You mean: short-termism/no-holds-barred-competition kept afloat by petrodollars, book-fixing and free-trade-breaking political support for US "multinationals", don't you? :innocent-beaming-smilie:

Too true too true but watcha gonna do? :shrugging-smilie-thing:
(that's where the equilibirum comes from : preaching-smilie : )

Uh, no. I'm referring to supply-side economics, which is anything but "short-termism" (a label more suited to its demand-side rival). Bush is not a flawless supply-sider, but he's closer than most, and we're just now seeing the beginnings of the explosion of growth waiting around the corner.

May the corner turn. And may the petrodollars cease too
(I could go on - but there's no need to get biblical now is there )

I know what I would do, I would endeavor to find a cure for mental illness, it causes a lot of heart ache for the sufferer and their loved ones.

Have you read some of Dr Sacks' books Nebbie? He's the guy who wrote the book Awakenings that got filmed. He's always looking at ways to find day-to-day solutions to some distrubing physical/mental situations. He looks at very specific/special cases generally tho - i.e. he focuses on the individual and how to learn more about the problems as a whole through their experiences. I definitely recommend "the man who mistook his wife for a hat" if you haven't read that - it just looks at various surreal neurological conditions, and how people learned or were helped to deal with them. Inspiring stuff in places.

I like him a lot coz he recognises most across-the-board solutions don't work all the time, and need adjustment to suit the indivdual. The causes of lots of mental conditions seem to be a mixture of biology (including drug abuse etc) and personal experience - but i guess you know all this from your job.

As for Niki's future job....hmm, a line of greenpeace execs on their knees?....I can picture it for some reason

I do know of Dr Sacks, I saw the awakenings movie it was very interesting and sad at the same time.

My husband has read "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" he tells me it was quite interesting.

There is not enough of focusing on people as individuals, they are just people with the same illness. It is really amazing what the brain can do when it is miss firing.

To be honest, i would be stupid enough to try and save the world, i know it sounds old, stupid, childish and dumb, but I would love to save lives, even if i influence just ONE life for the better i consider my life to have been worth living. Thats my crusade. To save those who want and need it. To love those who feel they dont deserve love, to open the eyes and hearts to millions to see, yes its a dark world, but a dark world worth living, because there is enough kindness out there if we know where to look, i just want to show people this world is worth living in and loving in.

Good on ya Naisy

That last stuff is all very much Sacky-boy territory. He loves using case-studies as valid investigative/scientific tools, and examining what it is we have as a whole by helping people with esoteric problems adapt and deal with life.

Right back at ya, Fire.

I'm on the lam from the Joke Police as we speak. So you ain't seen me, right?
