Birdsong's Rule of Life #1
Don't let other people define you.
Are you conservative, American, Israeli, Canadian, British, male, female, liberal, republican, democrat, socialist, capitalist, Jew, Christian, Buddhist, Jain?
Well, stop that.
You are you.
I especially hate it when people try to label us liberal or conservative/ socialist or capitalist because these are titles that have absolutely nothing to do with real life. If I want invest in medical cures for an ailment I have I want to be able to use the tools developed by entreprenual individuals. If I want to care for my community I want to install programs for them or give of my own (money, labor, barter, donating, whatever) I want to be able to do so without being called liberal or socialist.
Take me on my own merit and let me be an individual within a community of loving, caring, people. I don't want people slapping me around with a load of meaningless us vs them labels .. and neither should any of you.
Socrates' dictate "The unexamined life is not worth living" applies here !
