Good Morning Digital Neighbors and Friends! Happy Thursday Supporters, Members and Visitors to the stomping grounds of the WSN and ADD Irregulars! I has been a fun tour through Epic English Words and there are so many more words to explore and tumble around in our vocabulary. Off to Mr. Devoe's little collection of fun words.

Booboisie [boob -wa-Zee] Boobs as a class; a large portion of the general public regard as consisting of uncultured or ignorant boobs; {play upon bourgeoisie} slang.

The Establishment in the WEST and its Cabal of Controllers that try to manage our lives, limit our speech and reprogram our thinking believe that the public is nothing but a bunch of booboisie when in fact the collection of boobs is the Cabal. Contempt for the public is one of the hallmarks of corruption down thought the ages among "leaders" of society. The best thing that can happen is repeated reform and occasional revolutions or conquests that purges the leadership. Sadly for humanity, meet the new boss the same as the old boss is a reoccurring reality with just a few exceptions.

Even when systems or governments are established to cultivate liberty and the rights of the citizenry, such things are subject to creeping corruption. No individual, no institution is free of corruption, only vigilance and constant reform can keep it from rapid growth and the spread. Power is a very tempting drug that few can resist. It doesn't always corrupt, but rare are the souls to wield it with humility and dispense with it when they are finished.

Booboisie is such a fun sounding word. I don't doubt that there are many boobs among us, in fact you or I might be a boob, but boobs should not be viewed with contempt and disdain, but rather as individuals who might be prompted to become more engaged, more informed and more aware of what matters in life, their personal life as well as the life of the society they form.

I am sure one of the biggest traps is our world of glowing screens that tempts us to lives of distraction and diversion. I know that is ironic as I sit here and you read there across the world of our glowing screens. Our illuminated windows of reality can be used for connecting with others, becoming more informed of life, society and self but also offer massive amounts of distraction and colossal wastes of time. The vast seas of the inter-webs can offer transformative treasures or ruinous poisons to thought and imagination.

Well my fellow boobs, choose wisely and surround yourself with people who try to do the same. They don't have be in your tribe, but they are should view reality with the same desire for understanding. Hopefully they are people of self-criticism and questioning minds who are willing to examine their own presumptions. It is tiring to examine how you arrived at your present experience and understanding but it is probably the only way to remain free from the pull of the actual mantra repeating booboisie.

All that babble over one word??? What about the second one?

Brank - To prance; to caper; to toss the head; as a horse trying to spur the bit.

Branking about to lose the bit, perhaps there needs to be more branking in society and culture. Questions, questions, questions - it drive you nuts when your 4 year old child does it, but thoughtful questions can make a world of difference. Asking the right questions, or at least good ones, is one of the the real springboards to self-understanding, personal growth and the ability to make your little acre of reality a bit better for yourself and the guests who visit your life. Branking Boobs rise up! Happy Thursday my friends.
