Quick!! Without googling it; which Laotzu philosophy am I not following?

I don't know. I just know OF him and I've forgotten most of that. I don't care enough to keep all that in my memory. Besides, one can find out LOTS of stuff about him.

I didn't even know that Lao tzu HAD more than one philosophy. Go figure. YOU must know, though, since you took on his name.

YOU must know...

I know nothing. I am a peasant.
(see, I'm philosophyzing!!)

Are you a pleasant peasant who likes pheasant?

I’ve always found it odd that criminals are so territorial, seldom leaving their neighborhood to prey on those who presumably have more money and less likelihood of being on their guard.

In their neighborhood, they blend in, they have places to flee to, places to hide, and a culture of "no snitching" among their fellow residents (at least as far as a black-on-white attack is concerned). And if a lone victim turns the tables on his attacker, he would probably find that several of the attacker's friends were nearby.

No. I like Mules!!

Dammit, I am the most pleasant pheasant in the hood.

Why does everyone keep asking me that?

Lol!! Great graphic...worthy of Tony the Tiger!
