Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys

Take It Where You Find It
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Now sic those good men on Brandon. Don Surber posted a photo of JoJo ogling his own daughter when she couldn’t have been older than 7 or 8, to accompany this news item: “The president’s daughter comes clean, writing [in a diary that she kept in rehab], ‘I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate).’ She wrote this as her dad received the nomination for president. Her brother left a tell-tale laptop behind around the same time.”

Not bad… In these clear cut cases, Justice best administered on the spot.
Of course, a healthy society run by Real Men ™ would also have a Ducking Stool at every village pond and Stocks in very marketplace. Plenty of women in dire need of the Devolved Sunstein (for whom the Iron Maiden) ‘Nudge’, too.
One can dream.
I’ve always thought that a storage battery with jumper cables right next to a portable defibrillator was the proper set of equipment.
No blood.
No broke bones.
No lesson learned.
Occasionally, but not entirely. I have seen many attitude adjustments in my long life and if the receiver has any potential for being a standup guy, those little tweaks can tune him up right quick. For some of them though many tweaks are required and proof of that is in our prison populations, where thousands of hard heads, who really should be given the needle (aka real prison reform), are propped up by tax dollars.
Might have been better to leave him unable ever again to learn any lessons at all.
Alas in Buck Fiden’s America the FBI will leave no stone untured hunting down and D.C. jailing those bus riders.
Thats the proper penalty for the crime of “Assaulting while white.” Next time, Dude, don blackface before harassing a chick. That way, you can only be prosecuted for donning blackface.
If in Europe, yell “Allahu Akbar” over and over
