A light-hearted discourse on being significant

WHILE I was thinking about this piece a couple of days ago, early birthday greetings started trickling into my inbox. I was pleasantly, but also in a discomforting way, reminded that I am about to be only two years shy of becoming what others jokingly call a dual citizen, i.e., a Filipino and a senior! On a high note, becoming a senior citizen in a couple of years wouldn't be so bad, as I will finally be entitled to some benefits that include skipping the queues at the payment counters and getting free movies. Not exactly the ROI I expect on my tax payments over the years, though better than nothing, I suppose! But on the more significant aspect of it, where reality bites most, there is the uncertainty of health care access and pension payments in post-retirement. Many of the published retirement indices we see online don't necessarily include the Philippines in the top brackets of most desirable. IMHO, this dimension of public welfare is one of the least addressed and prioritized. As for me, my goal is to keep being a productive citizen and provide for my own needs, as I am not too hopeful that government will ever be able to make some progress given its always full plate, or is it?

recently was asked, do you support political violence? and he walked away. so he's constantly, when he's not recurrent -- encouraging it, he's refusing to say it's bad. so i think we should all hope, as people -- some kind of platform that that doesn't happen, that people keep cool. we've been with trump -- trump's been around for a while now, and, you know, there's been some violence, but much less than could have been. so i think we all hope that. but again, the swatting attempts are way to use the police -- >> yeah. >> to use the federal government to hurt people. and while people haven't been hurt yet, but they certainly could be, it is a certain kind of political violence. >> right. right. and it's dangerous, and it's pushing our limits, our boundaries of the discourse in a very dangerous way to the extremes. joe, we should note, on christmas you had a caller inventing a fake shooting to

that monitored hate groups and hate crimes. it was originally called the anti-clam network, and then grew into the center for democratic renewal. and the reason that i bring that up is a very important for people to know and understand, that the rhetoric that we hear that has become mainstream, really has its roots in white supremacy philosophy. it has its roots in the ku klux klan. it has it roots in neo-nazis. and a lot of the things that we are hearing, just in every day discourse, literally are the readings, and the research that i was doing 20 or 25 years ago. so we must clearly understand not only how harmful words matter, but there are even more consequential when they are followed by actions that we are seeing. but we also must understand that these words and philosophies are rooted within white supremacy, they are rooted with in eugenics, they
