There was a huge tie-in: pop culture stuff....psychology

  A lot of research was yet being done....why Freud was used predominantly as opposed to the more Jungian work.  We as students linked personality, communism, and "self actualization" in applying ot re-applying what had been cutting edge, progressive but sidelined when dominating trend prevailed to lead culture.  Psychology/situation/factors influencing....

  Really at the heart of a lot of political controversy world-wide.  We were able to take the conversations into different time periods, so for example in ancient culture, there were first only some cultures that fashionistah'd.  We were wondering why.  Did those people have permission to "self-adorn"?  There was a loss of story about how some things came to be among differing people.

  And when we were learning about World War I, there were similar questions.  Why did the people who owned land, or actualized selves into extension of self as property have more say?

  Kind of went along with thinking about simplifying life and what's self's?  What's clutter?  What's choice?  Free will?  If a people don't have free will or self-participation built into their politics, or, it's only built in in a certain way...like being a soldier or votes not being real...geopolitics takes form as the centerstage.

Gestalt!  I took the word/concept from my work apron like it was a stone not fully tumbled and polished.  A brother said, Bless you, like I'd sneezed.  My mom said her funny to my new things studied, Don't swear at me like that.

  Geopolitics!  Other students off for the summer blurted a buzzword from the torrentials in our heads.

  Some of us had driven away from controversy squall together and met up with parents who were region-bound.  Caravaning with a soccer team, some explained of theme conversations including different languages for the same things.

  Heading back into zones as residents and graduate students we tried to map out plans for fieldwork, pinkyswore "team".  Some cities had been free-for-alls for years and the AIDS epidemic was caught up in the fever of partying as self-actualization.

  He was more of a dad that was able to keep up with why different students were at different places in their studies than a president at that time.  "W" somehow made a connection probly with Jeb, between what curriculum had been teaching and how close political frontlines came to schools.

  It was people like Dr. Edwards at University if Hartford who held talks at universities on a pause, to see if cease fire possible; and realize that the terrorist group Hamas had a partial constitution-type document; this while property-law language hadn't melded with culture not separate from peopled.....

  Sat phones, chatter, a leveling of transport, ITA REAWWEE AID

  Stay OUT OF IT!  An ambulance worker uselessly issued the order to the unkemping drag queen going through the garbage bag of tiny drug bags.  Onlookers just looked.  Finally someone asked WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

  No one approached because no one else was looking for anything.  A firehydrant cap finally came off and hose spewed something besides the sweats and smells of us pausing too.

  But he's my last chance, a kid squealed and then wheezed over and over, last chance, last chance.

  Last chance in morning's light, to get out of that territory where kids were boiled down to drug runners and sex slaves.

  Places had lost distinctions like "town" and "store".  With political pressures mounting, some people were bottling up "the booty".  Some of the cities had zones where it had been all switchblades and blood....what loved ones became coming and going....two parts of the same razor wire

the flesh and the razor wire, I wrote in regarding what I was finding as far as what people "are feeling".

  The humanitarian team I was on came to a spot outside Philly where there was a week's wait before people could even plan where to next.  It was also one of those years where there was no stopping people from amassing.
