With this starting at about 17:45 ...their beliefs are so self-contradictory...

they CAN'T explain it to themselves, much less anyone else!

Their belief in "conventionalism" and submission to authority is directly contradicted by power and destructiveness...and they can't even see it.

The section that was most enlightening to me was #4 Anti-intraception (an objection to the subjective, the imaginative, the tender minded)

1. Conventionalism 17:49
2. Authoritarian Submission 18:09
3. Authoritarian Aggression 18:44
4. Anti-intraception 19:12
5. Stereotypy 19:39
6. Power and Toughness 20:14
7. Destructiveness and Cynicism 21:07
8. Projectivity 21:32
9. 'Sex' 22:14

I got to meet the great Dolores Huerta today!!!

As recent transplants to Raton NM, spouse and I are attending all the local events. Today was the first annual Raton Film Festival.

The first film was “Ghost Town”, about Dawson NM, where Ms. Huerta was born. She was in attendance for the film.

When I saw her leaving, I couldn’t pass up my chance. I went to the lobby and waited, told her that my introduction to her and Cesar Chavez was thru a great man (in my opinion) named Ed Wilson, a longtime local president of the Transport Workers Union, and how honored I was to finally meet her in person.

She was very gracious, ignored my nervousness, shook my hand, and asked my name.

I then allowed her to leave.

What a good day.
