For a pineapple, you are very wise.
So much of the strife in our news today is people shouting at people to change (super effective... yeah, right, anything but) and then when the people won't change, writings laws to force the person to change (and that works like a lead balloon flies).
And most of these yelling, legality bending people have no self reflection on the hate and loathing within themselves.
You have your shit together too! I would trust you to build a castle.
I love how people somehow think more laws will make the world a safer place without addressing the deepr causes of problems...how many people do we need to lock up before we decide we have to reassess our ideas of right and wrong and what causes undesirable behavior?
My rough guess... in my humble opinion... is all of them.
Unless we get a lot of people working on themselves, the alternative ends with us, locking up all of us.
