Mental Health: We have many types,<br />

from the extraordinarily damaged, some<br />

enormously gifted but most with a sense<br />

of equality thats is gifted automatically.<br />

Many white or affluent are able to help<br />

themselves freely to earth's bounty. But<br />

unlike the others, we extended to all people<br />

rich or poor, those with a booming voice<br />

or those with a quiet touch. From those<br />

who like a quite bar, to the ones that enjoy<br />

the sexuality of a charged night of sexual<br />

freedom or want to dress their own way. If<br />

you are bothered by that, we will feel free<br />

to set you correct. I wanted to say straight<br />

but in this new decade "straight" no longer<br />

seems appropriate.<br />

HUMAN FUCKING RIGHTS: In my opinion,<br />

this is the last frontier to be conquered.<br />

The question of our very democracy is<br />

in play in this election. We are a nation<br />

divided and on the verge of civil war. One<br />

side armed and sufficiently delusional to<br />

think violence is a viable solution. It is<br />

grown to its highest level since the civil war,<br />

but we have been here many times since.<br />

Human Rights is really the heart of the<br />

issues. We cannot continue to have the life<br />

we want if we turn our backs on those in<br />

need.<br />

What makes it more scary is that this is<br />

the first time in the history of man that the<br />

oppressed has a nearly equal voice. We are<br />

just beginning to see that and we have the<br />

right tools to break the yoke of oppression.<br />

The UN;s meesage this year was a warning<br />

and a call for more justice. The current<br />

administration has put justice and rights<br />

into a slave auction. They no longer have<br />

our back, just a body of scolder's, but<br />

seeking our help to give them the power to<br />

help us.<br />

Secretary-General António Guterres said<br />

in his New Year’s message that “we cannot<br />

afford to be the generation that fiddled<br />

while the planet burned”.<br />

But “there is also hope”, he continued,<br />

paying tribute to the power of youth<br />

around the planet.<br />

The United Nations stands with you, and<br />

belongs to you – UN Secretary-General<br />

“From climate action to gender equality<br />

to social justice and human rights, your<br />

generation is on the front-lines and in the<br />

headlines”, he said. “I am inspired by your<br />

passion and determination”.<br />

Noting that young people are “rightly<br />

demanding a role in shaping the future”, he<br />

said: “I am with you”.<br />

“The United Nations stands with you – and<br />

belongs to you” spelled out the Secretary-<br />

General.<br />

They are launching a Decade of Action<br />

for the Sustainable Development Goals<br />

(SDGs).<br />
