Style regularly relates to a usual mode of attendance, but quite often relates to a distinct mode of appearance. Mens Leather Jackets

Good work! I was expecting something more about the topic. It is well-written, but I wanted to know about how to explore innovative ideas in one’s writing to make them best. Every students should read my blogs Paper Writer Free | Paper Writer Online | Paper Writer Helper

But you see it all the time, everywhere, someone does something, says something, and the PC police nail them. Their lives get "ruined", they are emotionally and financially "devasted, and all you here are regrets, apologies, and boo-hoos.

One good example of a "Big Mistake" was Madonna's comment on wanting to blow up the White House. She was visited by the Secret Service and then "walked away" from her comment, saying it was "raken out of context". Lols! Instead of polluting the Top 40 back in the 80's with her crappy music, she would have been better as a stand up comedian.

Good article with priceless wisdom. Today is my Double-dose day of RR, as I just listened to your interview on the Tom Woods Show (enjoyed your revisiting the Joe Karbo advertising success, as I recall seeing those full-page ads of his in the LA Times, and I had forgotten you published Doug Casey's first book in '79, as I continue to pay attention to Doug in matters of international trends & investing - good for you!!). I think with examples like "Tom", the real damage comes when they are NOT caught, so they feel they can up the ante and then the BIG mistake becomes OOLOSSAL and often irreversible. When one is young, bad mistakes can be overcome more easily, as long as one is responsible and willing to do the inner work necessary to reverse course. Thanks for the share in both mediums today!

Decades ago, when they were very young, they believed in collectivism. That was a big mistake. Upon entering politics that true belief was quickly replaced with the desire for the power to control government. That was another big mistake. Many big mistakes followed. And America suffered. So, yes, I agree with you that Hillary and her ilk don't really believe in what they say, and they haven't for a long time , the political rhetoric is for public consumption. Yes, for them it's all about power, not altruism. At least Trump admits he's "greedy, greedy, greedy". An individual like President Trump is a lot more trustworthy simply because he's honest and he wants to make rationally selfish deals.

Great advice. Thank you as usual for thoughtful, smart insights based on an honest assessment of life. Such a refreshing intellectual honesty in all of your work.

I don't think Hillary and the Dems really believe in collectivism at all. They are smart people who know it does not work for the masses - but they do know it works very well for those at the top. In a collectivist system those at the top become massively wealthy, privileged and as long as they are in favor above the law. A good gig for those who get to the top. For some examples just look to China, Russia, Cuba or any other collectivist system.

Why can't you folks that resort to psycho babble either accept rjr's comments or not and quit the snipes at each other

A lot of it is hubris, plain and simple. We should never grow too big for our britches and think our diapers don't need changing. So to speak. I hope I continue to make many small mistakes and learn from them so I don't do a big one.

The "Tom" story sounds very fishy.....It sounds like a PC cleanup version.... I'm sure "Tom's" real name is something like ricardo or takwon.....

A truly watchful title - and essay. Thank you, Mr. Ringer. .... for the not so subtle reminder that men - and women - have succumbed to this blunder since Adam and Eve. Flawed we are since the concept of 'original sin', and flawed we continue to behave. No greater sense of this behavior exists than reflected in the wonderful Greek word - 'hubris.' And no greater historic or chaotic or bloody manifestations exist than WWI - and its infamous Battles - Gallipoli; Somme; Ypres. And we haven't touched on WWII and Auschwitz and Iwo Jima and etc., etc.

Before blaming ourselves for having made a big mistake, let’s read a fantastic book demonstrating how little we know about what drives us to take decisions. One usually believes that we are couscious beings, deciding what we are doing. But many a time, this is not the case. Too often, it is our subconscious mind and/or our endocrine glands that make us act as we actually do. The title of this book is “A Mind of Its Own”, how your brain distorts and deceives, by Cordelia Fine. This book taught me modesty, and removed from my conscience a lot of blame against myself.

In my experience, both personal and by observation of others, big mistakes don't happen in a vacuum. For example, I would be surprised if Tom was caught the first time he dealt drugs. It's possible, but typically people make a mistake, suffer no serious consequences, or even get what they want, and thus see no reason to change. But eventually the odds catch up with them, and they get caught, either by the authorities, or simply by the natural consequences of their actions. It is at this moment that they must make their critical decision: Are they going to accept responsibility for their mistake and work to overcome it, or are they going to blame others, the system, their bad luck, or whatever. It is only by accepting responsibility for our person actions, especially our mistakes, that we have hope of moving forward and regaining our self-respect and the respect of others.

Have you ever come close to a "big mistake," and if so, would you mind telling us about it?

Regarding Hillary and the rest of the dungy Dems: their big mistake(s) were made decades ago when they bought into collectivistism. And it was no mistake on the part of millions of awake and aware people to point out the obvious fraud and treason. I suppose you could say people like the Serpent of Satan ( aka Lady Gaga) make mistakes by revealing who they really are and who they really serve, but those mistakes are made in our favor, viz., we who believe in God, freedom and goodness. I was commenting to my spouse about Lady Gaga's half-assed performance during the Superbowl: " I wish Lady Gag-me would accidently tangle her neck on that rope and hang herself, then we'd actually get a show worth watching"..... Let's all hope these collectivists keep right on making mistakes--- really big ones....
