LEVEL HEADED OPTIMISIM

PEOPLE MOSTLY ARE VERY GOOD AND WELL INTENTIONED WHO SIMPLY DESIRE TO BE FREE TO DO WHAT THEY MUST- DISCOVER THE SEED OF THEIR DESIRE - WHY THEY'RE HERE, THAT'S THE SENTIMENTAL, YET TRUTHFUL, SOMETIMES TRUE VERSION FOR SOME, BUT NEVER FORGET THERE IS A WAR GOING ON- THE POSERS WHO DO NOTHING MORE THAN STAND AND SMILE, OR NOT- WHAT ARE THEY SELLING - THEMSELVES? THE PRODUCT? A WAY OF LIFE THAT DOESN'T EXIST FOR THEMSELVES- OR MAYBE A BETTER LIFE THAN WHAT THEY'RE SELLING- WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED. AM I GAY. AM I A LESBIAN? WHY SELL THE IDEA OF EVERYONE BEING HOMOSEXUAL - TO CREATE A SPECIFIC MARKET- RAISE FUNDS FOR A LIFE THREATENING DISEASE - WHO WAS THE HANDSOME MALE STEWARD- ALLEGEDLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AIDES EPEDEMIC? AND WHAT ABOUT THAT NEW YORK BLACKOUT WHICH HAD SUPPOSEDLY CREATED A HUGE POPULATION LITERALLY OVER NIGHT? NO, I HAD ALREADY BEEN BORN AND SO WAS MY SON, THOUGH I DON'T REMEMBER IF CHUCK CAME HOME THAT NIGHT. A GREAT EXCUSE CREATED FOR MISCHIEF AND TO GIVE LEGIT ALIBIS TO ACT OUR SEXUAL FANTASIES FINALLY UNLEASED - ONLY TO ALAS VERIFY THAT YES, YOU TOO ARE QUITE NORMAL- DAMN IT! AND THE THIRD SEX ASKING THEMSELVES, WHY? WHY HAD THEY BOUGHT IN TO THE UPSURD IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE AND HOW MUCH WAS IT GOING TO COST TO REVERSE THE PROCESS. AND COULD THEY EVEN DO IT, SINCE NOW WITH THAT GLOBAL THING I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR IT RATHER THAN THE TAX PAYERS - DAMN IT! OH SHUCKS, AND NOW WHAT DO I DO WITH MY EXTRA PACKAGE WHEN I HAD LIED ABOUT TELLING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL SOCIAL WORKER THAT I WAS SUICIDAL BECAUSE I KNEW I WAS A WOMAN INSIDE A MAN'S BODY. LESSON LEARNED. TAKING WHAT LOOKS LIKE THE EASY WAY ON LIFE'S MANY PATHS - AT THE TIME MAY LEAD TO A CUL-DE-SAC. I GOTTA GET A JOB AND I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE CHECKING THE TRANSGENDER BOX ON THE APPLICATION - OH YEAH THEY DON'T ASK ANYMORE - MAN, WOMAN, CHILD, WHAT A WICKED WAY TO DISCOVER WHAT AUDIENCE THAT YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING TOO...PEACE OUT!
