Introduction: Mike’s getting old.Question 1: I constantly have negative thoughts about a lot of the people around me. I recently caught myself have negative thoughts about strangers immediately after looking at them. How can somebody overcome irrationally negative thoughts towards other people and themselves? Question 2: I have learned to use my anger as a tool for success, but unfortunately, playing with this fire occasionally burns me as well. How can I become patient, calm and humorous relation to this insane world?Question 3: As a hypothetical situation: a government is created that is designed to last only 75 years – and then re-create itself based on the relevant policies and issues of the time. What would be the advantages to the individual living in such a situation? How would individual freedoms be affected? What about the infrastructures currently maintained by centralized governments that span generations? Closing: Major General BlahBlahBlah Returns!
