Aloha Jeff,

It is always a challenge and blessing to read your post. This old man has to think ... A ... Lot. He likes that. But:

All I know is when the volition, will and no longer satisfying fad, change like the weather:

... The violinist is dead and the living must deal with their action and emptiness.

... Humpty Dumpty cannot be put back together as he/she/they once were. Things that once were never will be again. Things that were once possible will never be possible again.

But maybe if things change, the violinist will be able to find families with Humpty Dumpty?

... Finally, the "so very most important families" of celebrities end up in rehab. But there is nothing new there when it comes to celebrities.

As I read your post, I just kept hearing Jimmy Buffett singing, "A permanent solution to a temporary feeling." That is your homework.

Thank you, you challenge my mind and keep me young ... and informed.

Shalom, Joe

Hey Joe! Thanks again so much for reading and responding, I love to hear from you and pinch myself when people read what I write, all 4 of them lol. I think what you were referring to was the need for us to remember how important family is: husband wife and children as the bedrock of society, and most fundamental institution. And how this would radically reduce abortions- I could be wrong but I believe that’s where you were going- and I could not agree more. So much of what we are seeing are the consequences of a culture that forgot what family is and means. Thanks again for reading and the feedback. Mele Kalikimaka!
