The emotional roller coaster over a bed of eggshells that was life with j left me doubting my sanity and grip on reality. Because the ground is constantly shifting, explosions come from nowhere and your own reality and understanding of events is denied, revised, rewritten or even reversed by the other constantly.

Yep, that's it, pretty much. Living in constant fear, trying to anticipate and forestall rages and verbal assaults, ignoring death threats so as to keep functioning but then finding myself unable to sleep for years ... and having everything I believed to be right and true turned upside down and jettisoned in favor of survival.

I know these things have affected me, Zen. Doing better, these days. Still working on becoming a bit of an ornery bitch who doesn't tolerate bullshit!

Wow, major thread hijack! And now, we return you to your regularly scheduled programming ...

After having your narrative about reality so messed with, after a while you begin to doubt your own connection to it.

Compromises Vs Principle is a heck of a tricky issue. Maintain core values, but don't be a jerk about little things, is my best guess.


(Philosophically, I focused on metaphysics, epistemology and phil of mind - not ethics and such. Shows, don't it? ;) )
Yep; agree; and, yes, it shows ;)
I've avoided even thinking, much less talking, in philosophical terms for a number of years - but it's nice to watch from the sidelines. Maybe that's progress of a sort.

When I saw that cartoon, it made me wonder how many of them were in states that permitted concealed carry (Colorado does, and has "stand your ground" as well).

Hey! Remember Lookout in the Subway?

Ok, perp had a bat, not a gatt, but I'm still counting it as a case of armed-citizen-preventing-violent-crime.

Those kind of events don't fit the narrative and lack a body count for the press, so they may as well have never happened.

Who's the artist for that first one? That caricature looks nothing like Obama.

DanaC 08-02-2012 09:46 AM
Well...it's more or less the right colour...

Cyber Wolf 08-02-2012 09:52 AM
That and the ears are about all he got right...

DanaC 08-02-2012 10:03 AM
I agree. Could be any faceless corporate type dude.
