No disrespect to other sections of the US. I'm kinda partial to the sound of the south. Then you have the Brits, the French, the Italians...others too. It tickles the ear and soothes and excites and invites. I have no idea if our American accents thrill anyone. I mean west coast is not really definable. Many of us are transplants from somewhere else so how we sound is a pot pourri of everywhere. East coast can be rather more definite and sometimes is. North? Well the accent in the movie FARGO was awesome. Do people really talk that way up there or was it exaggerated?

You are what you believe and you believe what your group/party believes and you melt into that and act as part of the whole. You disappear so you don't make waves/stand out/disagree. Individuals used to be heralded/celebrated/honored. Now? Well few dare to see what happens when they refuse to be swallowed up by an ideology. There are closet individuals here and there of course. There always will be. But the group rules. The ideology runs everything. SIGH. less

Whatever will be will be. Worrying about a Trump/Clinton outcome helps no one. I'm done. Whatever happens happens. It will happen whether I worry or not so I choose not. Time to slow down we move too fast. Gotta make this moment last.....so we can keep feelin' groovy! Anyone else so inclined?

"Highest form or degree. Prime." A runner in the pink of condition is at his/her prime.BLUE. "Depressed, dejected, melancholy. Holding or offering little hope; bleak, dismal" "Somewhat obscene, risque"So being in the pink is a good thing. Being blue is not so hot. How did blue become associated with boys and pink become associated with girls? Boys are not supposed to like pink? Girls are supposed to avoid blue?

Many outside the field think Comey did the right thing. Of course they are ignorant of the rules/protocol/precedent/history. Why do they think they know more than actual flesh-and-blood Republican and Democratic ex and current FBI agents? What gives them the belief that they KNOW more than FBI agents? Is it arrogance or just that they don't care what experts think they know what they think and that's all the matters? Puzzling/perplexing/weird. Dangerous too. less

Trump and Huma just separated from pedophile sleazeball hubby Anthony Weiner and Camille is still with sleazeball hubby Bill Cosby. These men have all HUMILIATED their wives/EMBARRASSED them/DEMEANED THEM/BETRAYED them. The women tolerated all of this for money? To live a privileged life? To be well-known? To have everything that money can buy? Surely they cannot still love these men who have so badly hurt them can they? Could you do what they do? Stay? What message does that send to their children I wonder? less

Dam* the torpedoes! Full speed ahead! Annihilate the opposition. BUT if it hurts your guy/gal then all he** breaks loose and people demand justice! What a crock of you-know-what!. Why are people so partisan that they will do anything/say anything/tolerate anything as long as it is harmful to "the other" but if it targets their guy/gal watch out! Riot time. I think it's disgusting. But it's politics are usual. Will it ever change or will hypocrisy be the bulwark/basis of American politics forever after to infinity and beyond? What is RIGHT is not always contingent on one's political choice. less

The SAME message that every Christian dogma has already stated. I think they need to be reincarnated again as someone who is not NAIVE?
I personally pronounce the "sim" as in "simple", but I have heard others pronouncing it as in "Simon". I just wondered which is the more common pronunciation.
