I Miss The San Francisco Bay Area!

We are not on this earth to simply conquer others!

People always act and speak from what is on the inside of them, what is in their thoughts and from their own desires.

And we are not here to bend or to break others to do our will!

When I lived in Berkeley and even went to school there, I saw all kinds of people, thinking and doing things their own way, and whatever they thought, they kept as their own thoughts, and everyone thought their own way, and caf life and anywhere else that people associated at, they all seemed to be their own persons, whatever their thoughts or personalities or personal philosophies were everyone mostly all seemed to be getting along? The Haight-Ashbury seemed to be the same way? But anywhere else in the Bay Area where those from the outskirts of normal' areas and suburbs were inside the city doing the day, part of the businesses and corporations downtown, their way of thinking and doing things was the way things and their employees all had to think just like they did, or if they deviated in anyway to be their own persons or to have their own thoughts and personal lives, then it was the employer's way or the proverbial highway!

A person could work for Western International Media from Sunset Boulevard out of Los Angeles California and on Pacific Avenue in a building that used to be one of the wild houses from the old wild and roaring days of San Francisco when the types of May West were there, and your manager, who is from the burbs' outside of the city proper, and she shows up in you office and at your desk telling you that she does not approve of your lifestyle and other critiques, even making you feel threatened to lose your own position there if you cannot conform to the way that she thinks and does things from where she is from outside of the city proper, and all the time while you are trying to convince her that you have no "lifestyle" but are simply a "couch potato" hanging out at home most of the time! And all the while it seems that she is making good on her almost unspoken threat by letting staff members go and replacing them more and more with her friends and family members from where she lives and commutes in from outside of the city proper in one of the more conservative areas of California where the folks mostly all seem to vote and think like Conservatives and Republicans?

And then one day your position and another position is consolidated and you are out pounding the pavements of downtown
