Yesterday’s Twitter Topic.
Let’s start out simple. The idea/concept for today? Slavery.
Slavery. Human Bondage. People as Chattel.
Most of us condemn it. But why? What’s wrong with Slavery?
Next #FreeSpeechFriday? We’ll do Segregation as a human instinct (not a policy). Why not?

Society, Culture and Government.
For 4 years I’ve been concerned about liberal intolerance. Now? I’m just angry.
Biden last week: “It’s an English jurisprudential culture, a white man’s culture. And it’s got to change.”
Are you not threatened someone of Biden’s stature said this? I am.

Evolution, Jake.
Humans are getting better but DO have dual natures. 99% of us will “invade/conquer” if we can.
The only 2 things I know:
1. We are not here to be “good”. We are here to be alive, be who we really are & in the meantime, if possible, “increase” love.
2. You can’t speed evolution.

American Pantheon: Dame Alice Krige.
I have not met South Africa-born movie, television and stage actress Alice Krige but have admired her and her movies for almost 30 years. I would like to see her on stage some day. I am in awe of working dramatic actresses based on the difficulty of their craft alone--and have been lucky to spend a lot of time with one in particular. To be noticed and hired, to keep working in serious paying roles down through the years, to make a living, to endure, even for the very gifted, is not a reality for most. You must be more than pretty, more than mega-hardworking, more than resilient, more than cheerful, strong, tough, well-regarded, respected and liked. You must be Lucky, too. Uncommon and shining talent is a prerequisite. All your competitors have it. A tough, unforgiving profession you must love deeply and almost unconditionally to merely stay the course in many, many moments during a long career.

Rule Seven: "What's the client's stock price today?"
One of the most clicked-on of our annoying but 100% failsafe 12 Rules is Rule 7: Know the Client. Excerpt: "Take time out to learn the stock price, industry, day-to-day culture, players and overall goals of your client. Visit its offices and plants. Do it free of charge."
The firm's client has a factory or plant? If so, please visit it. Above: Nokia factory in Finland.

Religion, Spirituality and Real Life.
If you have a faith, try to stick with it. It has served many of us, our families and America very well. Even though I don’t go to church, and I am not part of an organized religion, I had a fine ecumenical education, growing up in predominantly Jewish, Catholic and mixed suburban neighborhoods. My guess is that a lot of American Protestants raised in several place have that experience. That experience informs every day for me, and generally makes me feel comfortable and confident anywhere with anyone. And more importantly because of it I’ve always been a spiritual critter. Religion helps. My only advice? Just don’t use it as an answer to everything or a substitute for your own thinking process. It can’t and should not do it all for us. But if you need to? Go ahead a make it the main event. Done right it does seem to work.

Partner Emeritus, Où tu d'art?
Sir, it's just no good anymore at ATL since you went away. Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday.

Sunday mornings..
Was somehow persuaded to lead an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting at 8:30 AM. Hope these degenerates appreciate it. And my wisdom for living. Most Sundays I’m just getting to bed about now.
