A Boomer’s Point-of-View: I’m THROWING in the Towel #Politics #SocialMedia #PC
I can no longer engage in political discourse. Free Speech is dead – especially on college campuses. The CNBC “Debate” (aka Debacle) was a c-change for mainstream media, but the lack of respectful dialogue on Social Media has been the c-change for me on speaking out on anything political or socially “controversial.” A Boomer’s Point-of-View: Too Old to Rock ‘N’ Roll?
Perhaps this is the perfect topic for my new focus on boomers in my writing. After all, I’m fond of saying that “pretty much, the only good thing to come from MY generation is rock ‘n’ roll.” The other night I attended a concert at a local, wonderful venue – The Egyptian Theatre – in Park City, Utah. B.J. Thomas – 73 – was closing a three-day stint. I looked around the audience and wondered why there were so many “old people” there. Then I remembered that I was one of those “old people.” Not in spirit, certainly, but in birth date! Who’s Lookin’ at Who? #DogsMore Deer on The Nick #Video #ParkCityA Boomer’s Point-of-View: The Decent and the Indecent
~~ How can the University of California actually declare that the line that, There are two races of people: the decent and the indecent, is racist? ~~ Why are outsiders such as Donald Trump and Dr. Ben Carson dominating the Republican primary polls (so far)? ~~ How could an avowed Socialist become so important in the Democratic primaries? ~~ Do you believe our country is better or worse since President Obama has been in office? ~~ Other than some good rock ‘n’ roll, what good has my generation – the Baby Boomer’s – done for our country? ~~ Is a government shutdown (ever) a good thing? These are questions I am asking myself these days and asking you. I am more concerned about our country and the violence worldwide than I’ve ever been. I try to have hope, but I often feel hopeless. I am grateful to have grown up and prospered when I did, but fear immensely for my kids’ futures. A Boomer’s Point-of-View: A City Boy Goes Country
After spending my entire life in Los Angeles, California I’ve recently moved to Park City, Utah. It’s a culture shock I never quite expected. And, it’s been revelatory on so many levels. How to Teach Your Children Responsibility Tips #GuestPost
Despite the fact that making mistakes is human, many people often find it difficult to take the blame for their misdeeds and failures in a bid to try to avoid being disapproved of by others, or for fear of the negative consequences associated with their actions. Being quick to fault others for appears to be even more natural for young children. For instance, a child is often quick to blame other pupils or even the teacher for getting a bad mark in a class even if he knows that he didn’t study much before the test! Deer and Me on The Nick #GolfIt was October 12 in the late afternoon. I ended up playing golf that day for SEVEN hours and 45 holes for an aggregate total score of 224. About half-way into the day, the deer began to emerge. They kept me wanting to stay out and hence the long day. I could have gone on endlessly if not for the sun setting. So incredible! |
