The Four Horsemen of Salvation

I think I nailed the main theme of each of their campaigns pretty well. :D

I think both Bernie and Warren should maintain their seats in the Senate, we can't afford to risk losing either to the GOP. And they should put their full support behind a Tulsi/Yang ticket. I think Tulsi has a better chance of trouncing Trump in the debates than Yang IMHO. In tandem, the DNC really needs to pull out all the stops to take control of the Senate and destroy Moscow Mitch's control there.

Happy Phi Week! :D

Phi Week starts on the Solar Golden Ratio date where the proportion of numbers of days left in the solar year to the number of days that have passed is equal to the proportion of the days passed to the total number of days in a Solar year. The Solar year starts on the Winter Solstice (December 21st) which makes the Solar Golden Ratio date August 3rd.

Phi Week Ends on the Julian Golden Ratio date, as the Julian year starts on January 1st and the Golden ratio date is August 14th (day 226 of the year).

Unsophisticated Golden Rationalist like to use the Pi Day convention of just using numbers to mark their day (March 14 or 3.14) by denoting June 18th (6/18? How does that work again?) as their Phi Day. More dedicated Phiologist actually divide the year up into the Golden Ratio (365 x .618 = 225.57 days, which rounded up to 226 days. 226 x .618 = 139.67 or 140 so 226+140 = 366 days, the length of a Leap Year).

Phi Week falls squarely within the sign of Leo, which is ruled by our wonderful golden orb, the Sun, without which none of us would be here. Phi day is August 8th or 8/8 which represents the dual infinite proportion of the Golden Ratio (.618:1:1.618), as Phi week is 12 days long (August 3rd through August 14th), we just split the difference between the Solar and Julian Golden Ratio dates to arrive at 8/8.

May 20th is the 140th day of the year, but we already have a major holiday that time of year, there are no major holidays in August, so Phi Day fills this void.

Moscow Mitch: American Traitor

He denies all American's right to free speech by keeping our senators from debating
and voting on bills on the Senate floor. Debates which are aired on C-SPAN channels
for all Americans to hear the pros and cons of a bill. He is a much bigger threat to
America than the president. He needs to be removed from office. Impeach him first.

Endurance

If you can take it for a second you can take it for a minute.
If you can take it for a minute you can take it for a hour.
If you can take it for a hour you can take it for a day.
If you can take it for a day you can take it for a week.
If you can take it for a week you can take it for a month.
If you can take it for a month you can take it for a year.
If you can take it for a year you can take it for a decade.
If you can take it for a decade you can take it for a lifetime.
This is the meaning of endurance.

This is my mantra for dealing with having multiple myeloma.
I am not fighting it, I am enduring it, I am living with it.

Most people like him for his claws, but it is the philosophy of Wolverine I related to and why I named myself after him.

On being one with nature & not letting other's opinions define your self-worth:

"I said huntin', honeybunch -- I said nothin' about killin'. It takes no skill t' kill.
What takes skill is sneakin' up close enough to a skittish doe t' touch her..."

"I could care less...You've all been misjudgin' me since the day I joined this turkey outfit."
X-Men #109 (November 1977)

On work ethics, not just on the job, but in everything you do:

“I’m the best there is at what I do. But what I do isn’t very nice.”
Wolverine #1 (June 1982)

On religion and faith:

"I believe in nothin' -- never have, never will.
What matters is what I can see, hear, smell, taste, touch --
-- tangible things, physical things. Reality. The rest is imagination."
Uncanny X-Men #165 (November 1982)

Of course these words were written by Chris Claremont.

Less than 7 years later I legally changed my name on my 25th birthday in 1989.

What gave me the nerve to redefine myself was listening to a set of tapes: Personal Power by Anthony Robbins. The tapes never motivated me to be rich or famous or even successful on any level beyond being fearless at being my own unique independent individual self.
