Getting it, I think

I just cleaned out and rearranged the freezer. 9:30pm.  When I have energy and enthusiasm.  My whole life has been spent trying to fit into that ‘early to bed, early to rise’ nonsense, with only limited, and temporary success.  I have been reading more and more research showing some people are wired differently.  Today there was something about different gene activity.  So it seems to me that it is modern society that is in error, not those of us who can’t conform.  It’s like education.  School requires conformity.  Sit at a desk for x amount of time, even though your body is screaming at you to move.  Follow the schedule, learn by this method, not the one your brain requires.  See things differently than the ‘norm’. Do these things, fit in, or be labeled as slow, uncooperative, disruptive, whatever.  What a disservice the modern world does to a good portion of humanity, and what is lost to us because of it.

Harry Potter

Wow. These are quite good. Nothing like the movie I saw. But Amazon. I borrowed the second book on my reader, finished it, had to then go to the computer to return it, back to the reader to borrow number three. Sent a teeny bit snarky email to Amazon about the inefficiency (I wanted to say stupidity of this system. What if you’re not near a computer?) of this method. We’ll see what they have to say about it. Sometimes I think they just don’t think things through. Take that, Amazon

and most particularly, this:

‘Nigel Rodley, a British human rights expert who chairs the committee, didn’t mince words about just who to blame for the delay. “The political party of Abraham Lincoln that, in fire and blood ended slavery and gave freedom to millions of people of African descent, seemed now to have party members who thought that wealth did not just rhyme with health, but should also determine access to it,” Rodley said, according to AFP reports.’

It matter who you vote for. Seriously. It matters.
