Ken-Dogger: Morning Cleo, what up?
Cleo: Looking up dangerous words…
KD: Really, what did you find?
C: Happened upon this one, FREEDOM…
KD: Oh yes, heard about it…
C: Is it the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint, or is it the power of self-determination attributed to the will; the quality of being independent of fate or necessity?
KD: It’s both, but seems it depends on where you live.
C: That’s why it’s dangerous, it’s not absolute.
Author F. Scott Fitzgerald born on this date in 1896
"In any case, you mustn't confuse a single failure with a final defeat."
- F. Scott Fitzgerald, "Tender is the Night"
Morning Peeps,
After we passed Autumnal Equinox day and we weren't teetering left or right, we now are back in the USA where the RIGHT seems to think everything should flow their way in spite of the force of the flow.
Later Peeps,
Headed to the gym...

MAKE TODAY A SOULFUL DAY, LIKE RAY SAYS...
Historybook: American civil rights activist Victoria Woodhull born (1838); Nintendo is founded as a playing card company (1889); Musician Ray Charles born (1930); Neurologist Sigmund Freud dies (1939); Hurricane Jeanne kills more than 3,000 people in Haiti (2004).
"Soul is when you take a song and make it a part of you—a part that's so true, so real, people think it must have happened to you."
- Ray Charles
After spending the summer on the cape w/ Bun Man and Mr Purple, Ian Hunter wrote the classic 70s song "All The Young Dudes."
Mott The Hoople released it today in 1972 and the Boyz legend continued...
Bun, who was consoled by his good buddy Mr. Purple, would later help bring Victoria down over the scandalous expose of the Beecher-Tilton affair.
Victoria's ideas are largely taken for granted now, just as she took Bun for granted many, many years ago.

ON this date in 1838 - Victoria Chaflin Woodhull was born.
She became the first female candidate for the U.S. Presidency in 1872.
A magnetic healer and suffragette movement leader, she broke Bun Man's heart by spurning his affectations, not once but three times.

ON this date in 1779 - Shipmates Bun Man and Mr. Purple of the American warship Bon Homme were in one helluva fight when they turned around and heard John Paul Jones, their commander, saying "I have not yet begun to fight!"
Bun turned to P Man and said "Oh great, another delusional leader for America..."
P replied, "Believe we're in a series of 'em..."
Jones parlayed his fame into a Congressional career...
IMAGINE THAT!!
ON this date in 1957 - Nine black students withdrew from Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas due to the white mob outside.
Social scientists Bun Man and Mr. Purple chronicled this period as one of the darkest in America.
Mr. Purple just turned to Bun Man and said "Under Trump, America will get more openly darker while taking care of only the whiter ones among us..."
I used this strategy in 2016, and I continue to use it.
There appears to be at least 1 way for you to make a Trummmmp supporter stumble, ask them for Today's Trummmmp Policy position, then ask them two days from now...
SOMETIMES, YOU FIND YOU'RE COURTING A CAPITALIST
Tate: You say you fear I'll change my mind, and I won't require you, never my love, never my love
Sade: You say that stuff now, but...
Tate: How can you think love will end, when I've asked you to spend your whole life, with me (with me, with me), never my love, never my love
Sade: Uh huh, I hear ya, spend the rest of my life huh, gotta ring?
Tate: I'm bleedin' my heart to a capitalist...sheesh
