Whatever Gets You Through the Night

The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these. Mark 12:31

Threshold-the point at which a stimulus is of sufficient intensity to begin to produce an effect.

May 1, 1931 Herbert Hoover turns on the lights and officially dedicates the tallest skyscraper in the world, The Empire State Building.

In 1933...the tallest, darkest, fiercest leading man in an epic thriller about survival of the primitive goes awry, climbs 1250 feet, and subsequently wreaks havoc on New York City after being exploited during the economic depression.

May 1, 2003
Attention turns to Commander in Chief GW's maiden jet landing on an aircraft carrier bringing the Fonzie's thumbs up and a mission accomplished message.

Today, 2009. MMmm... Official end to combat missions in Iraq? 
Another oppressive state of economy...
NO. Apparently, it's Global Love Day.
I've had 5 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours and I'm on my ways to cinch myself into a corset and stilettos for the next 15 hours. Here's how I will get through this day in history.

Love is but a song we sing
And fear’s the way we die.
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry.
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why.
C’mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some will come and some will go
And we shall surely pass.
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last.
We are but a moment’s sunlight
Fading in the grass.
C’mon people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now.
The Youngbloods

Are you coping or conquering?
