RE: 20 Minute Blog a Day - warm up to my Prison Industrial Complex series

in #blog7 years ago

thanks @davemccoy! this is a huge project for me.. it's had a big impact on my own life and is such an injustice.. I really feel like it could be classified as a crime against humanity and more people should wake up to the reality of this huge problem!
I have to space it out because it's a draining and enraging topic LOL that's why I'm gonna do it as a series but there's so much bubbling now I had to let a little steam out with this

Sort:  

well its very good and while I like your passion and drive and the seriousness of the subject... I can see that you have a great grasp on the issues that plague our society.... I don't know where you formed these opinions, but the teachers and role-models you must've had must have been really really good. (or you are one of those freakishly unique savants that knows things when they are 4 years old) :)

ps... I would be remiss if I didn't try to make you laugh and tell you not to let too much steem out because we need you to power that up and grow! ;)

LOL .. laughter instigated ;-) I'm trying to grow as much as possible !

As far as really really good role-models and teachers I must admit, I've had quite a few of those :) however the definition of "good" is quite questionable.. seemingly harmful at the time turns into good food for thought later in life ;-) sometimes those of us left behind to fend for ourselves strap up our boots and make a path on our own.
I'm lucky enough to have grown up on the fringe where I saw just enough of "stable" life that it made me motivated to attain it one day but not enough to where it made me complacent and blind to the very real suffering going on in our world.

I would love to sit down and talk with you for hours... You are so grounded and smart that I'm truly impressed! You are Amazing Amarie speaks

awww @davemccoy you made my morning with this kind comment!! <3 some day perhaps we'll get the chance ;-) Just so you know I'm terribly impressed by all you do on here for everyone - you are one inspiring and admirable man! Thank you for all you do on here!!

See I knew you were super smart!!! :P ...

Thank you for the compliment too, and I think we are 2 included of the group of 100ish that are going to lite this place up as time goes on! :)
