    I. I sometimes fart while in the confines of my own bedroom. I do not consider doing that to be so morally or legally wrong. On the contrary, I find it to be a bit amusing, as I chuckle at both the sound and the smell of such a release of intestinal gas.

    II. Farting might be about as natural to some individuals as wearing diapers is to others. Don’t you agree, Don?

    III. I tend to regard vegetables, fruits, grains, and nuts as typically being healthier to eat than meat alone is. I am somewhat of a lacto-ovo-vegetarían myself, even though I allow myself breaks from such a diet from time to time. I do occasionally
    like the taste of a greasy burger or a pepperoni pizza after all.

    IV. Although I might be wrong, I consider the word “Hispanic” to denote a culture but the word “Spanish” to possibly denote a race or nationality. Under such an auspice, I have used the label of Hispanic occasionally in the past, but I felt
    resistance to that from certain snobs. As such, I sometimes now call myself a Chicano, which I find to be more wieldy, more succinct, and sometimes more pleasant.

    V. I find racism to be distasteful. I seem to recall having somewhere read, perhaps in the first edition of a book of the title “The Ethnic Dimension of American History”, that racism as we know it today might have originated in the United Kingdom.
    It does not surprise me, since members of the Ku Klux Klan seem to me to mostly be Anglos, and Charles Darwin, who might have been an English naturalist, might be the originator of evolutionism and with it such possible corruptions of that theory as
    Social Darwinism.

    VI. I tend to find eugenics to be a somewhat rude and unkind social agenda. But as I do not plan to father any children in the future myself, it is possibly pointless to say much more than that.

    VII. Sometimes I feel psychically powerful. But that notion might simply be based on a delusion of grandeur.

    VIII. Can certain of the blessings from God ever take on a surreal and almost comic book like nature?

    IX. I do not always believe that God is necessarily one hundred percent perfect, as the Bible might imply that he is. But I do believe that he might be the most perfect being in existence, and in light of that, it might be wise to submit to his guidance
    anyway.

    X. I opine that overemphasis of the merits of family might at times almost be pagan. While blood ties might possibly matter in the Bible and possibly also within certain Christian traditions, I suggest that such ties should perhaps never supersede
    allegiance to the one God, who might be a spirit and does not necessarily in any way signify any worldly government or any single human being. I suggest that the worship of a human being or group of such might itself be a bit pagan. — worse than that
    might be the worship of the self.
