The answer lies in what you put in his coffee...
The lawyer paid, but John is getting an hourly invoice next week....

The US Marine Corp makes a pretty strong case for their unique claim on fidelity.

Just in case anyone cares - the dog used to be quite famous, name was "Nipper" (not "Little Nipper" I don't think but I could be wrong). The logo was taken from a painting made in the late 19th century by somebody whose name I forget. The painter noticed that whenever he turned on his gramophone the dog would run to it and cock his head. So he made a painting depicting that scene, the painting was sold to the manufacturer of the gramophone, and I forget how RCA ended up with it, maybe by acquiring the gramophone company. RCA LPs with what are known as Red Dog labels were highly desired by audiophiles, which I used to be until I came to my senses much the poorer for the experience.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
Short answer:
First, go read (or re-read) "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." Just don't follow the argument quite as far as he did.
Then, go sit meditation for 1 year (20 minutes 2x a day, not continously.) I think the second answer will please you more.
I have a degree in philosophy. I find that all fairly tedious nowadays though.
I think much more of "who we are" resides in the older regions of the brain, especially the pre-verbal, than we are usually willing to admit.
Good luck!
That's it... just
