3. I'm working on that, both internally and externally.

One of my biggest psychological issues continues to be fear of authority, confrontation, and power. I actually lasted longer in the slugfest over the NRA proposal to create an enemies list than I thought I would. But ultimately I cut and ran. And that has been my MO and a problem for me in real life and cyberspace, because I allow myself to be taken advantage of or abused.

So I'm working on that, trying to grow up and act like a grown man finally at 47.

Also, I don't enjoy being cast as some kind of degenerate, freak, or monster by the ignorant or malicious. I want to follow Tobin's example of being a positive role model and force for positive change.

Could do a hell of a lot worse in this world than emulating Tobin. I know I kinda probably make them blush, but Tobin and HS1628 are my Heroes.
