		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What is interesting to me are the talkingheads on Faux Nonews who think Fredrick Douglas debated Abe Lincoln. They weren’t paying much attention in US History in college because they were too busy being partiers like George.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Who would’a guessed that the Lincoln-Douglas Debates were between the first Black to run for President and the Great Emancipator? *&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;‘Course they might have thought that it was Stephan Douglass, and they were discussing whether “Dixie” was a seditious tune.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BTW There was a bit of a debate between Lincoln and Frederick Douglas…but it was behind the scenes in letters and very definitely related to the formers relunctance to end slavery and use emancipated blacks as soldiers in the Union Army.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Reminds me of a childhood story.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My father bought two fish. One was a deep hue of purple and the other orange. Because I was young and enjoyed comics the fishs were named Batman and Robin. I was surprised to find that Batman, a Betta, killed Robin, a Goldfish. Even more surprising than that. I found Batman dead, a few days later, from freezing in the glass bowl on a particullary cold night of the winter.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I actually no longer actively seek the company of adult humans.  To me they’re so obsessed with things of no importance.  I have a small aquarium at work and when small children come in they’re drawn to it.  I’ve a small space but the atmosphere is so different from the rest of the place.  I have a Betta and other small fish and when people ask how I can have such an arrangement I tell them it’s a Buddhist aquarium.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;When meeting or observing those souls who truly understand (I hope someday to gain a bit of that) I have noticed that their eyes smile onto the world what their hearts sing in  celebration of ‘being’ …&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;No matter what we may think, ‘time’ is ALL we, any of us, ever have to ’spend’ …&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I’ve learnt more from being around kids than “wise men”&lt;br /&gt;
… they are Gods in human form, until they get ‘educated’ …&lt;/p&gt;</description>
