Like I’ve said (a bunch at this point) ANY social network is a big neighborhood, world-wide I suppose…so theoretically there’s room for everybody…I try to be the best ME I can be, but I don’t always suceed…and I try to be the best ME I can be FOR me, so *I* can sleep at night (and I don’t sleep very well at night) if YOU’RE not happy with me that’s mostly your problem…I will attempt to be flexible, but I make no guarantees…Like most of you (whether you admit or not) at least some of my friendships (unless there IS such a word as “acquaintanceships”) are based on a LACK of intimate knowlege of what makes [somebody] “tick”…For instance, if Gene (who the f**k is Gene? Don’t worry–*I* know who he is) and I got to know each other better, I suspect there could be trouble; it’s not likely that *I* would be wearing an NRA cap anytime soon…and motorcycles scare me…but we get along fine as far as *I* can tell…and as it is in the “real” world, so it is in cyber-space (finding that out belatedly)

I (and you should too) DEMAND the right to change my mind about who I like (or don’t like) and (as with Music perhaps) I also refuse to feel the obligation to explain WHY I like (or don’t like) someone (or some song or singer or group)…I try not to be judgemental, and for the most part I don’t think I am…take RUSH, the band…I never hated them, but I never liked them either…now I like some of it (the later stuff) for some reason…

sorry about all the parentheticals, lots of incorrect usage I suspect–but I don’t care…in fact I’d like to be able to say if ya do think I’m an asshole, I don’t care…but that wouldn’t be completely true…but somehow it brings me back to–it’s a big neighborhood, if ya don’t like this part o’ town, steer clear of it…Have as good a day as you can…

ADDENDUM–what Humans need to do IMHO is acknowlege our differences and try not to let those differences divide us–nothing new there, but it ain’t easy, I know…just sayin’…
