Peace

It's voting time again...

Yep, it's that time again.  Just one month to go until Election Day.  Now, as some of you may be aware, I'm a Democrat (strong lefty leaning), but that's beside the point.  In my old state Senatorial district, there was a guy running, who was a Democrat.  He also hated transgender folk (oh, and gays, lesbians, and bisexuals).  Normally, I'd vote for a Democrat, but not this joker.

My point is this:  although it would be folly to vote for a single issue, it would be proper to put that issue very high in your consideration.  Once again, this is your life and dignity at stake.  Please consider it as such.

Oh, and one more thing:  If you're not certain whether you've registered, get off your rump and register! Then vote!

Peace

Every goal, every action, every thought, every feeling one experiences, whether it be consciously or unconsciously known, is an attempt to increase one's level of peace of mind.

Many thanks to Hiwatari Saki

As many of you who read this blog know, I also enjoy the reading of manga.  Like other media, there's some which is fair, some good, some very good - but there are the very few which are truly stellar.  One such manga is Global Garden.  Wow.

I won't disclose too much to you, except the overarching theme of peace.  I decided to give an occasional thought to peace. It's too important not to.


Once again, thank you, Hiwatari Saki!
