26. A couple of things.

Mon Jan 12, 2026, 03:04 PM

Monday

1. They are apolitical. Their kingdom is "not of this world", which they have punted on. You can guess my opinion of that. I believe the exact opposite, BUT point 2.

2. They have an answer for EVERYTHING. It's a closed belief system that defines away or reinterprets anything that might disagree with the closed system. There's a four letter word for such systems.

AND ITEM 3 of two

Always be open minded.

They might appreciate if you play some R&B

and be really FUN PEOPLE

On the other hand ...
They could be trouble.
