granger1900 To get a $200 ticket, I'm guess the Marine was speeding pretty good. After two tours in Iraq, He deserves a great deal of consideration and I don't mean not giving him a ticket. But concern, consideration and validation about how important he is, how important...

Listening to the news reports of the mine collapse in Utah is just heart-wrenching. From the beginning there was this uneasy feeling I had in receiving the news reports of the mine owner expounding on the situation with statements...

granger1900 This must be sheer torture for the families, torn between the harsh realities and hope for their loved one's survival. The pictures on CNN so deep in the mountain give me shudders.

granger1900 You are right about the value of human lives deserving more consideration. It is appalling that we continue to hear about mining tragedy after mining tragedy.

granger1900 I don't think you're oversimplifying things. You are using logic. The reality of many situations defy logic! Many miners do this work because they don't have any other options to support their families and unfortunately the people who own the mines operate...

granger1900 You make and excellent point about technology and robotics being used to enhance mining safety. I wonder if a lot of this is a matter of out of sight, out of mind, literally. In that, we don't see the difficulties and dangers of mining because it is usually...

granger1900 I, too, love the color purple. It's such a wonderful color because it has so many hues depending on the mix of colors used to create whatever shade of purple one is looking at. I think I like purple because it has shades of blue in it and that is one of my...

you know what they say, "living well is the best revenge". but some people don't seem to take this advice into consideration. do you believe that everyone should be treated as the way they treat to others? should there be a cost...

granger1900 Seeking revenge seems a waste of energy and a rather toxic endeavor. I agree that living well is the best revenge. If we all were to respond to others with revenge we would all be stooping to a lower level of human existence that would be rather barbaric and...

Is it better to take chances in life or play it safe?

granger1900 I think it's a matter of weighing risks. Risks to the one's life or the lives of others are to be taken very seriously. Some personalities are prone to high risk behaviors because of unresolved childhood traumas that force them to constantly seek danger,...

granger1900 You sound like a very smart man to be so aware. Threatening suicide is in the primer How to Abuse 101, in terms of manipulating control tactics. I caution you, however, to be careful as when abusers feel they are losing control they escalate their tactics....

Well... Kind of. Here's my explanation: Sometimes I hurt myself physically to prevent myself from hitting a person or ruining things around me. Oh, hey, I don't cut myself or make myself bleed.. Just punch a wall or...

granger1900 Have you tried healing yourself? Do you know where this rage is coming from? It's never really from the moment at hand. Anger usually comes from pain, usually from something we don't want to deal with and that's an indicator of need for some kind of connection...

granger1900 This makes me wonder if animals use more of their brain than humans do. Of course, human brains are larger and we never really utilize consciously the majority of our brains. It's a curious thing. Animals innately trust their instincts, which humans are often...

granger1900 What a lovely thought! It is true that babies seem blessed, so very special and innocent, vulnerable. It's nice to think that there is an angel watching over them, teaching them. Thank you so much for sharing.
