I wish I had a time machine.
If I did, I would travel back to 1986 and get River Phoenix from Stand By Me. Then, I would travel to 1999 and explain to George Lucas why Anakin should start out at age 14 (as opposed to age 6) and that River Phoenix needs to play him.
You want surly pubescent angst without whining? You want River Phoenix.
So after tinkering with a million things that didn’t need tinkering with in Star Wars, George Lucas leaves “This R2 unit has a bad MO-tivator!” (a.k.a the line where Luke Skywalker starts puberty) alone.
On what backwoods Outer Rim planet does that make sense?!
Everyone bitches about the problems with the poor. But I’ve got a solution.
Imaging.
The real problem with the poor is that, as a brand, they have no value. So we should rebrand the poor.
The top 1% of earners are Job Creators. It therefore stands to reason that the bottom 50% are Job Destroyers.
Once you look at it that way, the path is clear. The poor don’t have a problem. The poor are the problem.
Get rid of the Job Destroyers and the Job Creators will finally be able to fix America.

What a great day.
Got the punch list of tasks done at work. Took care of important personal items. Boss was out of office. And when he called in from the road, he sounded calm and even and I had all the answers he wanted at hand. Bought the bike I wanted. Had a fantastic cheeseburger. Made the perfect Bloody Mary. And I walked 4 1/2 miles like it was no big thing.
I feel great. I’m in an up mood.
I don’t know if the universe is random of if there is some guiding hand but either way, I know I have things good and am grateful for what I have.
Life is good.
My bike helmet. Bought in no small part because it looks like a Scout Trooper helmet.
I am going to f**k you up, George Lucas! When I’m done with you, you’re going to wish the Sarlacc ate yer mama before you were born.
