Obviously the reason you have to keep saying it is because it has no impact on reasonable people. Wisdom and profound knowledge and common sense have no "race". That's why voices that embody these qualities endure through the ages, and are always appropriate to quote or cite or heed. The inability to comprehend this, is a reflection of a person trapped in the limited parameters of his mentality, one who possesses no credentials to judge the women he speaks of and no message that inspires their approval. Stick to what you know. (That should occupy your small mind. 😵)

I fired up my facebook account a couple weeks ago after having it disabled for a couple of months. It is just too hard to do what I do without an account, because so much information I need when researching people is most easily obtained on Facebook. Facebook's structure requires people to include information that is often left off their websites -- better bios for authors, bookstore hours of operations, event details, etc. I still post links, that get virtually no engagement. I've come to terms with the fact that I just don't have it in me make the type of posts required to get engagement of Facebook. On the advice of my students, I have recently begun using Instagram. I've purchased some advertising and even installed the app on my phone. I've created some posts and am experimenting with the platform to see if I can generate some traffic to the website. But I know, unless the traffic generated is great, I will not use the platform. I just don't like engaging in the activities that are needed to amp up traffic. All the sharing of personal minutiae is too much for me... I'm even beginning to feel contempt for the people doing all the sharing. ...this is a bad sentiment, because in the real world I actually really like some of these people. So it is likely I will ultimately disengage from Instagram before I become some online misanthrope.

@Delano just click Mel's Avatar and you'll see a list of everything thing she has posted including a recent one about block chain.

So Pioneer Ariens like conflict huh. I'm an Aries as well. Maybe that is why I always understand where you coming from and have no problem disagreeing with you (when appropriate of course).

Thanks Pioneer the arguing is making me dull.

And to think...... If only Ben Carson would have known that poverty was simply a state of mind when he was just a poor kid coming up. Instead of all those years of going to college, studying, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loans in order to become a doctor and make a good living for himself......all he really had to so was go out on the porch, sit down, and CHANGE HIS MIND, lol. I don't agree with his politics but Carson is a brilliant brother. He wouldn't have made it to head nigga in neurosurgeon at John Hopkins Medical Center if he weren't. It's sad to see him disgrace himself and tarnish all of his achievements like this. It reminds me of how the esteemed General Colin Powell allowed himself and his sterling reputation to be turned into shit by doing the bidding of George W. Dr. Carson should resign from that position and abandon that sinking ship.
