Now, as for those who constantly post from fox news... well, look at the history of that site. Doom, gloom, fear - "war on Christmas", "war on this or that"... A perfect example of "misery merchants".

You know why they call the ride, a merry go round...
It’s because it makes the children, young and old, merry and happy.

Just the opposite of a misery go round.

This goes back a few years ago.
I would be watching TV and a commercial for the Schick Center for alcohol treatment, would come on...
I couldn’t turn the channel fast enough.
What might happen if my wife saw this ad, and put 2 and 2 together, and questioned me if I might have a need?
Even more to point, it made me act out denial, to myself, like yeah, I can really fool myself....
And I wondered why this merry go round I was riding wasn’t making me merry.....
Oh, I could fool myself, boy howdy, but it took more and more booze to do it.....
The more I told myself, others, or turned the channel quicker....
Didn’t change the truth to what I was, or doing, no matter what I said, or did.
I was the last person to see, what everyone else, saw clearly Grin

No, just doing some spring cleaning, as I look around at things and try to relate....
Who knows, maybe my god is preparing me to move on, and I am simply recalling memories through the luxury of having of passed beyond the things that caused me turmoil, anger, and hate....
Things that didn’t provide for me in this world.
I’d be fool to want to bring them into a new one Grin
