STATION BOUND
I'M PULLING INTO THE STATION
AN ENGINEER ON A PASSENGER-LESS TRAIN
MOST DISEMBARKED BECAUSE OF MY FAST TURNS
MY BUMPY RIDE OR MY HISSING BRAKES.
SOME I SIMPLY THREW OFF.
THERE WERE THOSE WHO STAYED JUST AS LONG AS THEY HAD TO.
ONE WAS TOO AFRAID TO GET BACK ON.
ALL RODE FOR FREE.
I SAW THE MOUNTAINS,
THE DESERTS, THE PLAINS
AND THE OCEAN SHORES.
I CHUGGED AND CANNONBALLED
FOR DECADES.
STOPPED TO REST AND THE RUST BECAME ROT.
I'M WORTH SOMETHING IN SCRAP.
MY ROUNDHOUSE REPAIRED MY STACK.
I'M THROTTLING TO THE STATION
NEVER COMING BACK.

3) An Oldy But Goody meme, lost on the large amount of authority loving kiss ass morons in this country.
4) Too true. It makes me cold towards the suffering, stupid injected.
5) Brought to you by the bio-robots called your neighbors.

Wesley says... 68
1) I'm sick and tired of being well and depressed. People aren't any help.
2) I've had a good life considering what a misfit I am.
3) One has to be a moron to intentionally deprive oneself of oxygen and this country is full of them.
4) The State - the place where creativity goes to die.
5) Hey Mom! Got a problem with your children? Kill them. Seems legal.
6) I'm not ashamed of my intelligence as long as people are proud of their stupidity.
7) I am very alone in this world, and sometimes I really like it. All I have to do is deal with my own silliness.
8) Boys, you will never be a man listening to your Mother.
9) As long as there is Roe vs, Wade, there shouldn't be Mothers' Day.
10) Now, Elon Musk is our new Savior Billionaire. Some people will never catch on.

BoT - Auto 42-44
AUTONOMY
42. Autonomy as a part of the power process may not be necessary for every individual. But most people need a greater or lesser degree of autonomy in working toward their goals. Their efforts must be undertaken on their own initiative and must be under their own direction and control. Yet most people do not have to exert this initiative, direction and control as single individuals. It is usually enough to act as a member of a SMALL group. Thus if half a dozen people discuss a goal among themselves and make a successful joint effort to attain that goal, their need for the power process will be served. But if they work under rigid orders handed down from above that leave them no room for autonomous decision and initiative, then their need for the power process will not be served. The same is true when decisions are made on a collective basis if the group making the collective decision is so large that the role of each individual is insignificant. [5]
43. It is true that some individuals seem to have little need for autonomy. Either their drive for power is weak or they satisfy it by identifying themselves with some powerful organization to which they belong. And then there are unthinking, animal types who seem to be satisfied with a purely physical sense of power (the good combat soldier, who gets his sense of power by developing fighting skills that he is quite content to use in blind obedience to his superiors).
44. But for most people it is through the power process — having a goal, making an AUTONOMOUS effort and attaining the goal — that self-esteem, self-confidence and a sense of power are acquired. When one does not have adequate opportunity to go through the power process the consequences are (depending on the individual and on the way the power process is disrupted) boredom, demoralization, low self-esteem, inferiority feelings, defeatism, depression, anxiety, guilt, frustration, hostility, spouse or child abuse, insatiable hedonism, abnormal sexual behavior, sleep disorders, eating disorders. etc. [6]

Monday Meme Day
Groucho, you were always my mentor. This is exactly why we are in the situation we are in. Saying 'No' to a woman is easy, fellas. And fun.
This is not the arm of an 80 year old demented man. Who is behind the mask?
This graph explains perfectly the uselessness of organized labor on society. Collaborators should be shot.
Throw in a good laugh.
Interesting, huh? Of course, he only thought of babies as future drones to repopulate war torn Russia, but you don't see this quote in lefty propaganda (if the quote is real).
All this genital talk is so titillating (tee hee).
