BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

'There Is No Science': Geoffrey Canada's Philosophy - City Limits Magazine - CityLimits.org: "The only benchmark of success is college graduation. That's the only one: How many kids you got in college, how many kids you got out. Everything else is interim."

Fact: Father got two in/got two out.


Fact: Does that make David, my older brother, as well as our mother......interim?


Objection Your Honor: That don't sound right!


Objection Your Honor: That don't sound right either!


Fact: What about my sister, Donna? She's got two daughters you know? Shouldn't we offer them a helping hand?


Fact: They couldn't help it they were pretty,  pretty busy, in fact.... too busy.

Fact: Would I  ever ask Richard, my brother-in-law:

"Do you ever get tired jerking off with the same hand?" 

Goodness gracious!  Hope it never comes to that! 

Fact:  Already came close twice!

w00t!
