Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
- -- Aristotle

Put blame where it belongs
ATF decided it could not regulate bump stocks during the Obama administration.
It that time," the NRA wrote in a statement. "The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semiautomatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations."
The ATF and Obama admin. ignored the NRA recommendations.
I can't claim either practice as my own, in fact i spend way too much time on politics, when I should be more attentive to dharma
But I completely buy into the bodhisattva as a straight line to enlightenment.
Plus I dig Tibetan Buddhism and the Tara characters,and the prayer flags & wheels-
kinetic karma( as it were)
DJC is where my posse came from after Proboards closed us down
Darmosiel. aka Dramaqueen. We got in to it once, a real food fight. I remember it was because she accused me of being a racist because I didn't appreciate a (white) gay masseuse massaging my balls. The first time a lefty on a debate board accused me of being a racist for something completely unrelated to race. But I liked her.
You may have even been the mod.

For the sake of discussion, what do Owl, Cypress and Desh do in the real world to give up your white privilege?
