Dupayosh of the Week of January 10, 2011   Robert A. Brady 

~ How may you have sinned against our humanity?  Let me count the ways.  Politicize tragedy.  Peddle fear.  Dissemble reality.  Tout emotion.  Stereotype citizenry; radicalize everyone.  Make the very many suffer the very few.  Legislate life; fix the existential; prosecute imperfectability.  Rush to misjudgment.  Impose immaturity.  Grandstand the god-awful.  Noisome, noxious airs for the governance bubble.  Suffer us to abide your self-sanctimony, hypocritical hegemony, hideous hubris, divinity of the state.  That’s a baker’s dozen and then some, ripped right off the top. ~

~ It’s not the just scruff of the slue.  It’s the size of it's the size of it, too. ~

~ Let’s put ‘em together for a government of elites, by elites, and for elites. ~

“Pennsylvania Rep. Robert Brady, a Democrat from Philadelphia, told CNN that he also plans to take legislative action. He will introduce a bill that would make it a crime for anyone to use language or symbols that could be seen as threatening or violent against a federal official, including a member of Congress.”

“Carolyn McCarthy readies gun control bill” by SHIRA TOEPLITZ, Politico, January 9, 2011

Braving The Storms of Daily Life
conducting yourself in a positive and optimistic way

The hallmark of the fully mature, fully functioning, self-actualizing personality is the ability to be objective and unemotional when caught up in the inevitable storms of daily life. The superior person has the ability to continue talking to himself in a positive and optimistic way, keeping his mind calm, clear and completely under control. The mature personality is more relaxed and aware and capable of interpreting events more realistically and less emotionally than is the immature personality. As a result, the mature person exerts a far greater sense of control and influence over his environment, and is far less likely to be angry, upset, or distracted.
Look upon the inevitable setbacks that you face as being temporary, specific and external. View the negative situation as a single event that is not connected to other potential events and that is caused largely by external factors over which you can have little control. Simply refuse to see the event as being in any way permanent, pervasive or indicative of personal incompetence of inability.

Resolve to think like an optimist, no matter what happens. You may not be able to control events but you can control the way you react to them.
