I’ve been accused once or twice (a week) of cynicism.
A little word that dismisses all of my views.
“Oh but you’re so cynical”

To be a cynic is to be negative;
one who doesn't pull with the team;
lacking in good old fashioned optimism;

And a powerful vaccine against naïveté, stupidity and the “virtues” of the Leviticus- a twisted morality equally dear to George W. Bush and Osama Bin Laden.
well shoot i must have missed something was there a negatice somewhere ????i love your musing and your blog so there im still trying to see the negative???
I do so enjoy to find one other jaded romantic soul being sucked down into the earth via gravity on this bit of rock spinning through space....
It makes me less cynical...
