My stepdad had a little sheep skin, framed, on the wall. His last year's average, in semi-pro. "640". He was forty six. That was driven by radionuclydes from Hanford. That, and worse. He was murdered, over fears that he would talk, in prison. By local authorities.

I had a co-worker who framed and hung every 'sheep skin' he ever got, HS, college, achievement award, training cert ....etc in his cubical.
I made him a:
Neighborly Technician Award with a picture of Mr Rogers, complete with seals, fancy borders , big signatures and bold authentic wording.
It was his favorite, cause it showed how much bullshit it all was, which is why re hung them all.

I had a nice commendation, from the marines. When Debs Potts retired from the Oregon Senate, they found it stuffed in a hole in the wall, by his desk. Where it had been hid for years. Where he hid it, to keep from reading it into the minutes. Because Pappy didn't want to see a nigger passing for white, recognised as Oregon's hero. Now that I turn out to be a white man, his little boy is trying to kill me. And Gil Gilbertson was his anticipated shooter. Try now Gil. Kill a hero for Allyn.

The thought for today: say what you mean
I am usually a quiet person and let most shit slide by but yesterday: . This person came in the cafe and was placing pamphlets on the tables that were in support of gun control. I grabbed the stupid fucker and told him he could shove the paper up his black ass and tossed him out the door.
My lunch was free. So the thought for today is to say what u mean AND act on it.

It's a genetic modification eons of human predation has brought about, and they're cooperative fighters - each one carries a knife for a buddy to use.

Because motivation pervades all action, it is important that we have a positive motivation. Whatever we are involved in, whether it's politics, education, medicine, law, engineering, science, business or industry, the nature of our motivation determines the character of our work.

Exactly, although it wasn't that deviant religious anti gay racist freak Phil Robertson who said that.

How can you tell the difference between a Russia troll farm meme and one created by an American Trump supporter?
The Russian meme is spelled correctly.
