they have no sense of reality. By that I mean something that hit home while listening to an interview with a great musician. He was saying that to be good one has to do what they feel, and not just copy someone else and say that they've done it. They have to be real. I never had that problem. I was always spontaneous. But when I hear and watch Wes Montgomery playing such beautiful music, and smiling away like he's enjoying himself on top of it, I just want to be him. I want to pick up a guitar and learn to play just like him. But it doesn't work that way. If I did that, it would be fake.

And so I am certain these pathetic conservative souls have truly lost their way. They were trained, or something, to fear, or something, and turn away from the path of really living. Really being. And of course it's not just conservatives. I know very few people who really do live this way. But it seems that all conservatives have this trouble. And maybe to make up for it they need a leader, and need praise, and need to win, at any cost. Because they are costing America it's very most important qualities.
