   i’m definitely not a fan of GWB but what relation does he have to this situation that he needs to be included in the video?

   I’m not sure why Georgy is in the montage except that the events have taken place in his home state (the state that I escaped from many years ago…well, Texas itself felt like a compound to me, I suppose).

   Compound? I worked at a high school for a little while and my former co-worker, the ex-military facilities manager, would almost always refer to the campus as a compound…it got under my skin I must say.

   The members of the polygamists group in Texas ARE making their own choice as the sound bite says. Their choice is just that, theirs. I do not have the right to make a choice for them, any of them, not even those children. People do all kinds of fucked up things to themselves (first) and then to others, including children…everybody has a story about what some adult or other kid did ‘to’ them -not until recently did I understand that it was all ‘for’ me because I would not have the sensitivities to certain awful things if I had not been exposed to weaknesses that we humans often exhibit in the first place; it’s a fact of life that the contrast (in this case, the crappy stuff) is what causes us to grow, to seek more.

   We all have healing that we are responsible for. I don’t know anybody who is not part of the club, you know the one, the-grown-ups (parents/guardians)-did-hurtful-things-now-i’m-fucked-up-and-have-to-fix-it-oh-this-shit-happens-to-everyone-time-to-put-my-life-together-the-way-I-want-it-to-be club…yeah, fun times.
