edit data

Robert N. Franz offers now a fresh new view of life. Although his maturity had been sporadic for much of his early life, good habits came to him as he aged.

He paced, smoked, ate and drank compulsively almost to exhaustion until finally did the obsession to work take over. Not until his forties did he adopt an adult role even though he played hard at sports as with rugby and 'pick-up basketball' when young. Before that he was in 'adolescent suspension'. This meant that not until middle age did he decide to work towards a lasting purpose in life.

Now he is more balanced in his responsibility to work and his duty to give himself some peace. Robert can go on 'jags' of effort which then result in 'crashes' of rest -- or even the torpor of sleep. ...more

The Shooting Problem: Solutions !

What would progressive Bernie Sanders and conservative Bill O'Reilly agree on?

If they would at least discuss these five lawful points, then I would ask you to vote for me -- Robert N. Franz -- for the U.S. House seat from the state of Delaware in 2016. Here is my link for a 'Write-in' vote: electionsncc.delaware.gov/use_vm/writ...

“The question is, shall it or shall it not be linear history. I've always thought a kaleidoscopic view might be an interesting heresey. Shake the tube and see what comes out. Chronology irritates me. There is no chronology inside my head. I am composed of myriad Claudias who spin and mix and part like sparks of sunlight on water. The pack of cards I carry around is forever shuffled and re-shuffled; there is no sequence, everything happens at once. The machines of the new technology, I understand, perform in much the same way: all knowledge is stored, to be summoned up at the flick of a key. They sound, in theory, more efficient. Some of my keys don't work; others demand pass-words, codes, random unlocking sequences. The collective past, curiously, provides these. It is public property, but it is also deeply private. We all look differently at it. My Victorians are not your Victorians. My seventeenth century is not yours. The voice of John Aubrey, of Darwin, of whoever you like, speaks in one tone to me, in another to you.”
― Penelope Lively, Moon Tiger
