Hells Canyon Chapter #3227: Fill & Download for Free

I agree generally with Linda and Aaron.I would add however, that a representative democracy’s faults (and by representative democracy I mean a constitutionally limited government in which the middle class dominates, and all adult citizens of that nation, whose right has not been curtailed by due process, vote, as Aristotle put forth in his Politics, Book IV, Chapter 11). lie less with the system, than with some of the people within the system—the would-be aristocracy—as Tocqueville pointed out in Democracy in America 175 years ago.The problem is—as with Athens and Rome—there is a small minority of the wealthiest citizens in the United States (and elsewhere) who believe that wealth should be the primary, if not sole, determining factor in whether or not you get to participate in the selection of your representatives. The Councils of 400 and of 30 in Athens did irreparable harm to Athenian democracy, and the optimates of Rome did the same to its res publica.I’ve been stating for most of my adult life (since 1982) to anyone who would listen, that reducing taxes on the millionaires and billionaires was a horrible mistake: it was the beginnings of an attack to reduce the American middle class in size until it was politically impotent. I knew this from my own readings on the 1920’s, when the top marginal tax rate was reduced to 25%. I knew from reading about Will Rogers that Reagan’s “trickle-down economics” did not work: not in 1932, and not in 1982.My biggest problem was I had undiagnosed Type III bipolar disorder, in part because that diagnosis did not exist until 1989. So I was diagnosed in 1987 with “major depression,” and it would be almost 20 years before I was properly diagnosed. So rather than writing books and articles, and maybe setting a fire under the American people to stop the plutocrats, I suffered as the country I loved descended into Hell.Finally, in 2003 after years of therapy and medication for depression, I was able to write an article for Democratic Underground, The Masque of the Green Death. A few months later I wrote another article for Democratic Underground, Fear Itself. A year after that came Madness, published at the now defunct—at least I can’t find it—OnLineJournal.com.In early 2006, my therapist and I figured out that there was more to my condition than mere depression. I had speed bump highs followed by Grand Canyon lows, and this occurred in cycles. We got me on a mood stabilizer and boom!, I started writing.Between 2006 and 2017 I published 164 articles with OpEdNews.com, an average of 16 per year. I wrote about everything from Spartacus to Beethoven, the U.S. Constitution to the Trial of Socrates, anywhere from 2–14 pages. But the underlying subjects were almost always the same: we must stop the plutocrats NOW, while we can do so without violence; And that as Jefferson said, a democracy is the purest form of republic, but not practicable beyond the size of a township.If our democracy is dysfunctional, it is because many of the richest Americans, and their henchmen like Antonin Scalia, have worked hard to make it that way. It is up to the rest of the American people to push back against these selfish, inhuman scoundrels. . .HARD! Because I’m finding myself nodding my head in agreement with George Bernard Shaw everyday:God Bless us all in the coming struggle.

Here are my cents…….1) Like that girl, ask her out, get rejected, start all over again, get committed, you will anyways laugh it out later on.2) Have a passion, pursue it wholeheartedly, no one gives a damn until you are successful. You will still be judged.3) Don't be a nice guy, be the good one. There is a difference.4) Please give respect, don't lose it.5) Do the rightful when no eye is on you. Telling you, it is the hardest of all.6) Don't know where the life is heading towards, ask for help. Refrain from letting the cats out of the bag though.7) Look at girls in a way they want to adjust their hair and not the clothes.8) She cheated on you, don't give a damn. There is no dearth of good girls too.9) Don't compare your chapter 2 with someone's chapter 20.10) Give yourself some time before reacting, can save hell lot of relationships.11) There is fine line between confidence and arrogance, but a canyon between confidence and insecurity. Just remember this.12) Stop bitching but don't dare to spare your friends within the group. You are all going to hell anyway.13) Had a bad day, don't cry along with 49 others. Done crying, get out to do some ass-kicking work.14) You lazy people, come out and witness this world ain't all black and white.15) Do that extra pushup, eat that extra pie, a lot of joy lies in that little extra.16) Make friends not colleagues. Former will play with you while the latter ones will fuck with you.17) 99% of things you worry about never actually occur. Take a chill pill.18) My favorite, never take anything personally, you are not as important you think of yourself.19) Drink that can of beer, have that joint of smoke, laugh out loud, trek that mountain you dream of, study that subject you always liked, experience that heartbreak, have a failed startup. Just don't do one thing - never give up on hope, cling to it, tough waters shall pass.

school I always ate at this picnic table by the school gardens with my friends.That picnic table is where we met.That picnic table is where I made my first real friends.I like to eat my lunch outside.People exhaust me sometimes.But not my friends.I’ve gone camping with my friends.I find air mattresses uncomfortable and annoying.I slept on the mats at karate camp instead of a air mattress.I

also in a essay writing competition.I’m aware I’ve switched back and forth between I’m and I am. I do not care.I’ve gone mushroom hunting in the forest.The first house I lived had a red door.The stair case in the house I first lived in has been replaced.I find it slightly odd revisiting the places where I have lived and seeing someone else live there.I grew up with two black cats and a black dog.I was born at an incredibly young age.I am sure no one had read this far.I don’t plan to ever smoke.I’ve gotten up early to watch the sun rise.I’ve watched the sun set behind the mountains.I’ve watched the sun rise behind the mountains.I’ve watched the sun set over the grand canyon.I’ve stayed up through the night.I was born.I will die.I generally try to give people the benefit of the doubt.I do my own laundry.I rock climb, but I don’t like doing it on man made climbing walls.My favorite bird is the blue jayI own a few tie dyes that a friend of mine made.I own several wire wrapped crystals a friend of mine made.I’ve seen a symphony live.I’ve been to Elitch GardensI arranged a piece from Avatar the Last Airbender and played it with my school band before I moved.Sometimes I get a bit over-dramatic about thingsSometimes I say things that are a little cheesy.But I try to say things from the heart.I try to be nice, even when it makes things awkward.I don’t let peoples opinions of me get to my head.I have taken a couple breaks writing this.My happiest memory so far is backpacking in the mountains with my momWhen I volunteer at the movie theater I can fill one large cup with ice, start filling it with soda, fill another up with ice, start the second cup filling, by that time take the first cup to the costumer and grab the second soda by the time I’m finished doing that.I’m positive no one will read all this, but I am really enjoying writing this.I really like the movie/book Cloud Atlas and it played a large part in opening my mind to new ideas.I have a habit in karate of kicking with my right leg more because I have better balance standing on my left leg.I’m working to improve the balance standing on my right leg.I think it good to tell the truth.I also think sometimes it’s okay to lie.I don’t like guns.I have eaten ice cream when it was snowing out.I have made snow angelsI have built fairy houses by the riverI have never failed a test in schoolI have lost people I care about.I have made good friends.I have read the entire Harry Potter series.When we move to a new house my dad and I always walk around the house with sage before we sleep for the first night.I know a little bit about medicinal plants.I believe the universe is infinite.I have accepted that things die and this is a part of life.I try to learn something from every person I meetI try to be a better person than I was yesterday.I worry about my friends.I am determined to finish this.I have never broken a bone.I have a lot I want to improve in my karate.I have a lot I want to improve in my writing.I have a lot I want to improve my my music.I like competition because it gives me a chance to put myself out there.The first anime I really watched was Fairy Tail.I own a Fairy Tail necklace because it reminds me of my friends.I got one of my best friends a matching Fairy Tail necklace.When I’m struggling, sometimes when I’m about to pass out in karate, I think of my friends and it helps me through.I’m aware I can be a little cheesy and cliche.I’m not afraid to speak out for what I believe in.I will respect your opinion but that won’t change the fact I have my own.I love the stars.I love the moon.My favorite word is “Aum.”My second favorite word is “Apricity.”My third favorite word is “Defenestration”I have read the dictionary cover to cover several times.I consider the people at my karate dojo to be family.I love mangoes.One year my mom and I drew a big Christmas tree on paper instead of getting a tree.My family would usually go up into the mountains and cut down a tree.I have been in many snowball fights.My school banned dunking your cookies in milk at lunch one year in elementary school. I was annoyed.I like to be silly sometimes.My favorite celestial body is the sun, but I believe the moon better represents who I am.I can use chopsticks.I have danced in the rain.I have danced in the snow.I have played in a mountain river.I have a walking stick I’ve held onto for years.I don’t like radishes.I don’t like artichokes.My favorite ride at Disney land was the Buzz Lightyear Blaster rideI have gone carolingI have played music at old folks’ homesI love making people smileI love seeing people smileI love seeing people happyMy favorite Star Wars quotes is “Do or do not, there is no try.”I have a Avatar the Last Airbender mapI hand draw the maps for the book I’m working on.I own a long black skirt specifically for music performances.I don’t wear skirts often.The mountains are in my bones.The mountain rivers are in my blood.The mountain air is in my heart.I try to give gifts from the heart.I make my friend’s birthday cakes a lot.I came in second at my school’s talent show when I was like twelve.I own a sleeping bag designed for freezing temperatures.I can’t give up on this now.I do not like planes.I don’t like olives.I don’t like spicy food.I memorized the schedule of my local library by the time I was like 7.I can’t remember not having a library card.My signature looks horrible, but I’m working on it.I don’t really have a signature it’s more just my name in cursive.I try not me mean.I apologize a lot.I say thank you a lot.Most of the music I listen to doesn’t have lyrics or isn’t in English.My favorite season is winter.I don’t drink coffee.I don’t drink caffeinated tea.My jazz band order breakfast tacos sometimes during class when we don’t have anything to work on. (The day after a concert usually.)I cry too much.I don’t like crying.I have made ice cream from scratch without a machine.I crack my knuckles a lot.I was on a trivia team at my old school.I can’t run very far, fast, or long.But I’m working to improve that.A year ago I couldn’t do a proper pushup.Now I can do twenty on my knuckles no problem.I hate getting bored and letting my wander for too long.I have to remind myself that there is no reason to be afraid my friends are all dying right now.I have an itch.I despise chap stick.I struggled with having a dandruff issue in middle school.I really like to use commas.Using commas too much can be an issue.If it it was socially acceptable to wear a cloak around normal life, I would.People at school think my cloak is pretty cool.I own a cloak I made with the design of a dragon the back.I cried watching Incredible 2 becuase I remembered watching The Incredible with my mom.I cried watching (spoiler alert for Infinity war) Groot and Peter Parker die.I get really annoyed working the concessions at kids movies because you get those orders of drinks that are “Six small sodas and two large sodas please.” And of course they’re never the same soda. It’s two small rootbeers, a small diet dr.pepper, a small dr.pepper, a rc cola, a small, light on ice, mixture of dr. pepper and big red, a large dr.pepper heavy on ice, and a large rootbeer light on ice.I have actually gotten pretty much that exact drink order before.I am the only filling drinks at concessions, so I had to do all of that alone.I got two more orders on top of that piled up.In summary, I don’t like volunteering at kids movies.But I do enjoy seeing kids smile.I find bingo calling mind numbing boring and mentally draining.But I love seeing the people at bingo smile.Maybe this is a narcissistic quality, but I love it when I do a solo in jazz and I get compliments after the concert.At band camp I participate in the camp jazz band and I’ll get compliments all evening.And in those few hours I feel so grateful.I feel that I’m making my mom proud.My favorite compliment I ever got on playing saxophone was “Dude, you play saxophone better than I live.”I think a band camp filled with high school had cord band nerds is amazing.My favorite sandals are called Keens.My favorite candy is Twix.I dropped a hat off a ski lift.Luckily it was summer and we hiked and found it.I have met a tortoise.I’m once again up late coming up with things about me.I’m a leo but I don’t think the day you are born affects your personality.I don’t believe that you have one soulmate and you can be happy with no one else.I’m on several social media but not Instagram or Snapchat.I know practically nothing about Instagram or Snapchat.I’m really bad at remembering dates.I’m also bad at remembering names.I’m good at remembering faces, but I can’t put the name to the face so that doesn't help much.I know a pair of twins who share a birthday with me.They where the first people I met who shared my birthday.I don’t even know why I feel so determined to finish this.I put my friends in my phone by their nicknames.Other people I put in my phone by their first and last full names.I have my entire schedule for the next year planned out with five alternate days.I don’t get enough sleep.I tend to associate colors with things.The number four is green to me.The number three is purple.The number five is a mix of brown and purple.The number two is yellow.The number one is white and yellow.I don’t know why I think of them like that.I also tend to think of certain music notes in colors.A is red to me.E is blue.F is orange.G is light blue.D is brown.C is yellow.C# is mustard yellow.B is a slightly darker shade of blue than G.I don’t remember the name for the color association thing my brain does.I can move my ears without touching them.I think it you read this you would actually know a fair bit about me.I’m afraid of loosing the people I love.I want to reach the summit of a mountain greater than 10,000 ft.One day I want to summit a mountain greater than 14,000ft.I think a lot.Sometimes I think about really small mundane things and overthink them like the hold the secrets of the universe.Other days I think about the nature of existence.I used to be scared of the high school at my old school because I was terrified of teenagers.Really I’m just terrified of people in general.I think that they all secretly think I’m stupid.I begin a lot of text conversations with “Hey, I’m sorry to bother you,…”I’m not entirely sure what I’m earliest memory was.I once thought it would be better to forget everything than grieve.And now I’m starting to get better at remembering in happiness, not saddness.I think life is hard.I think it’s worth it.I make time in my life for what is important to me.I get annoyed with people who don’t know what they’re talking about, but I try to help them learn because I remember we can’t know everything.When I realize I didn’t know what I was talking about, I try to learn.I apologize when I realize I made a mistake.I roll my laundry.I do my laundry exactly once a week. I have a system that ensures this.I carry around an iPod for music because music helps me quiet my thoughts.I never dog ear books.I cannot touch my nose with my tongue.I’m getting close to being able to do a split.Karate is the most physically challenging thing I’ve ever done.I’m rather stubborn.Even when I wasn’t as good as the other competitors usually are at this music competition and I didn’t prepare as much as I wanted to, I still refused to give up without trying.I came in 8th out of 17 tenor saxophonists at that competition. For a freshmen, that was pretty good.I don’t regularly shave.I like watching movies with my friends.It is now the morning where I am at.So I’ve been working on this since the day before yesterday.I smiled today.I talked to a couple friends today.I have a watch but I get really annoyed because of daylight savings times because for half the year it’s got the wrong time.I’m not just lazy it’s hard to change the time on my watch.I am kind of lazy sometimes.I’m going to bed for now, I will finish this later this morning.I lucid dream.Most of the dreams I can remember are nightmares.I’ve cried myself to sleep before.I have a lot of tabs open right now.My cat is really fluffy.I’ve ridden on an elephant before.I try to be as honest as possible.I’ve been fishing.I find fishing incredibly boring.I’ve been on a sail boat.I’ve built snow forts.I am friends with my crush.I am wearing a black t shirt right now.I don’t wear shoes sometimesI tend to be paranoid.In fifteen minutes I am going to have to leave to go try on my band uniform.I say “cool” a lot.Sometimes I accidentally bow when I leave a room because I’m tired and my brain reverts to karate.I am surprised I didn’t give up on this yet.I have been told my members of my family I’m too young to know I’m bi.I don’t care what they think.My dad expects me to remain a straight A student.I threw myself into academic studies and books when I was little because I was lonely and bored.I am more proud of the fact I have been able to help my friends with their grades than I am of my own grades.My friends are smarter than me.My friends are kinder than me.My friends are braver than me.And I look up to them for it.I try to surround myself with good people.I love the smell of vanilla.I love dark chocolate with sea salt carmel.I love potstickers.I tend to think I’m stupid.I tend to think I’m a bother.I try to remember that I’m not.I have woken up on Christmas to freshly fallen snow.I have watched a lot of movies with my friends.Sometimes my friends and I would just walk around town for no reason.The library in the town I mostly grew up in is pretty cool.Sometimes my friends and I would go hang out there.I think more people need to learn to be accepting of people different than them.I like tofu.I just went for a walk.I used to play uno a lot with my family.I suck at checkers.I’m almost sort of decent at chess.I think I would be in GriffindorOr maybe RavenclawThe number of my band jacket is 39I don’t remember the number of my band pants.I wear a lot of solid color shirts.I am annoyed hot hot it is outside.I’m not very good at swimming, but I’m good enough to keep myself from drowning.I don’t like pools.I have not been in a pool in over a year.I don’t know how people without a desk survive.I have a desk.I have two personal emails and a school email.My bed is raised several feet off the ground. I have a step stool but I usually jump to get in.I have a painting of a rainbow tree above my desk I did myself.I have a photo board with pictures of people I care about on it.I own several scarfs.I really only wear them for special occasions.I like renaissance fairs.I know some of the bare basics to playing flute, but I would in no way claim to know how to play the flute.Same with piano.I love playing saxophone.I don’t really have any birthmarks.I have some money saved up.I go to school early to have time to work on homework and sometimes practice saxophone.I’m going to try to be creative.Even though some of these are not unique to me, I don’t think that make them any less interesting or miraculous. Just existing makes something interesting in my opinion.I’m glad I’m alive.Even on the days where I forget how miraculous that fact is, I try to keep going.I am grateful.I do my best.I put everything I can into everything I do.I don’t settle for less than my best effort.I go far.I know what it’s like to win.I am human.My heart beats.My blood flows.I have a pulse, a rhythm.I have a name.I make mistakes.I know what it’s like to fail.I try.Sometimes I fail.I bleed.I fall.I face death.I shake in fear.I bruise.I get tired.I get exhausted.I get frustrated.I go to fast.I shake.I struggle to catch my breathe.I pull myself to my feet and keep going.I force myself to work through every obstacle that comes my way.My wounds heal with time.And with time my scars fade, even though they never go away completly.I keep going.I slow down and take it one thing at a time.The world pushes me down; I fight back.I don’t “fight like a girl.”I show them how girls fight.I am proud.I am happy.I am loved.I get back up.I smile.I cry.I dance.I run.I laugh.I believe.I get pushed down time and time again.I break.I shatter.I crumble into dust.I grieve.I sob.I scream.I get injured.I hurt.I get the wind knocked out of me.I feel pain.Sometimes I can’t get up.It feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders.I can’t see the light in this darkness.I can’t see the summit of the mountain.I have friends who help me up.I get up and fight.I grow.I get better.I learn.I improve.I am me.My confidence grows.I remember to be humble.I love.I hate.I accept.I help my friends.I help wherever I can.I make a positive impact.I still fail.But that’s okay, because I keep climbing the mountain.I know I have at least a chance, so I’m not throwing away my shot.I’m not defined by winning or loosing.I’m not defined by succeeding or failing.I am defined by who I am.I have valid opinions.I have valid interests.I have the right to be who I am.I am my own person and no one can take that away from me.I’m at peace with myself.I’m at peace with my place in the universe.I remember joy.I remember happiness.I remember laughter.I remember tears of joy.I remember the sun rises.I remember.I think.I ponder.I wonder.I dream.I work.I breathe.I live.
