Let's Not Forget That We Are In The Age Now Of "The Absurdity of Growing Up"

That's as opposed to "Growing Up Absurd" as conceived by Paul Goodman, who represented a good portion of not only my development as both a potential delinquent, as it might have been thought of in the late fifties and early sixties (played out for me, though, later on, as I would catch on to him as part of my last, crazy, counterculture wave, out of the sixties, that was, in fact, my life from the end of my first marriage in approx. 1973, to about the mid eighties (and the start of the end of my second marriage), when the practicalities of existence brought the naive part in that that wave to a temporary end); but Mr Goodman would also play a part in my development as a progressive, because of the underlying criticism he had for consumerist society.

We should also remember that maybe this ought to be a massive suggestion that continuing with an organizational model so out of date that not even a Twinkie could stay useable, and filled with even more toxic things than a Twinkie has, or any other junk consumption thing you might want to mention any kind of planned addiction of for (by one sugar or another) is a really bad idea, because that's pretty much what "Business As Usual" has become. And with that, then, the follow on of a whole lot of corruption.

More things to think about as you also ponder important decisions you aren't going to be able to put off making for very much longer.
