“Never Free”

How to embrace this place of pain
Desiring sun, receiving rain
I feel my knees buckling down
Buckling down to beg the ground

How to consume this bitter pill
Forced on me, against my will
Leaving it’s taste here on my tongue
On my tongue it just gets hung

How to exhale this toxic smoke
It wont escape, unless I choke
Live to warn of poison’s hell
Poison’s hell in which I dwell

How to cleanse you from my skin
Now with regret, I let you in
There you became one with me
One with me we’re never free

What success or failures are being repeated? Can we compare today to the McCarthy Era? Is this a ideological battle, a struggle for economic influence, or both? Is Christianity be exploited by the ruling elite or is this a worthy crusade? Any thoughts would be of interest.

Analytical philosophy deals mainly with logic, sematnics, mathematics and science.

What's wrong with saying Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays? It's getting very ridiculous because the holiday's are based on the birth of Jesus Christ our saviour. It's becoming very stupid because there's no commerials or anything drawing the costumers into the stores. Now, it's like a ghost town everywhere you go. What happen to the spirit of the Lord. Just because a set of people don't believe in God doesn't mean that it should be spoiled for the rest. In essence, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

How does using one's memories help create a true sense of self, as opposed to relying on the opinions of others? I have gone into a self-philosophical argument about this and was curious to hear what others think.

Basically, I am asking how memories create a sense of unique identity by which each person can truly define himself/herself, but how people generally do not rely on memories but instead, through their self-consciousness, rely on others to drive their actions.

What are your thoughts on this?

Robert B. Parker has often been recommended to me as a great writer of crime fiction. Unfortunately, no specific title has been cited, he has written so many books I don't know where to start. Any recommendation?

I have a similar problem with Dick Francis, so many books, where to start?

Thanks!
