Welcome London and Sean. Sean you must be a very enlightened being to never get angry. Wow, It happens for me rarely but I still have my moments. Then I realize it is all about ego and then let it go...
London, I can relate with being born on a holiday and all. I think you picked one of the best ones. Your's is probably the absolute best because you can hold on to your younge age until the end of the year. Being a Christmas BB I love watching people guess my age wrong by doing the math. LOL

Nice to see your post here. You can always think about it and come back to add more.
London, Epiphany Eve here, another member of the Capricorn Brotherhood. Welcome to the Forum.
What would happen if the Polloi, in serious numbers, got right in your face on the way to a concert waving putters because they knew you'd written a speech they found offensive?
Does your abhorrence of the masses mean you're a GOP speechwriter?
That is a great quality in a man. So, is there a way for us to tell what you are truly passionate about Sean? Anger is usually stirred by a fear of loosing something or not having control over something that you feel passionate about. I am not trying to goad you into anything I am just curious... ?You seem like such an awesome guy. I would love to be able to release things that easily. I usually just allow the ebb and flow of the universe to take its course. However; every once in a while I feel like the Universe went too far.
I am surprised and flattered that anyone would be interested in my “10 Random Facts” post.
Time does not permit me to answer every inquiry and private message, so I hope this reply will suffice.
QUESTION 1: “So, is there a way for us to tell what you are truly passionate about Sean? Anger is usually stirred by a fear of losing something or not having control over something that you feel passionate about. I am not trying to goad you into anything I am just curious...?”
I don’t think I see the correlation between anger and passion for something. Much like anger, passion is an emotion and as such, distinctly different.
My passion for something is manifest through my own knowledge of the subject and fondness for discussing, learning, or engaging in it.
I am passionate about many different things, including: politics, philosophy, music, education, stimulating intellectual discussions, friends, literature, sex, history, art, the written word, the spoken word, mathematics, language, and so on.
As for emotions, they include the following: love, passion, ecstasy, warmth, glow, fervor, ardor, zeal, thrill, elation, joy, satisfaction, happiness, sympathy, tenderness, concern, grief, remorse, sadness, melancholy, despondency, despair, depression, worry, disquiet, uneasiness, dread, fear, apprehension, hate, malice, resentment, conflict, jealousy, greed, anger, rage, ire, shame, pride, sensuality, lust, desire and many more. Intellect, reason, and faith, in theory, are what should be used to control those emotions.
For the sake of argument, we shall leave aside the religious implications of those emotions, which should be clear to all.
The list of emotions includes the good, the bad, and the ugly side of man.
QUESTION 2: “Is John Q. Public ignorant?”
Well, Hoi Polloi does refer to the many, but not necessarily their ignorance. There is both the tyranny of the majority and the minority. When I think of John Q. Public my mind goes back to that group of emotions. Whether John Q. Public is ignorant is not for me to say, but I firmly believe that he is, has been, and always will be swayed by those emotions if not properly checked by intellect, reason or faith.
In the end, our past, present and future is the best judge of John Q. Public’s actions, not me.
QUESTION 3: "So which party do I work for?"
I love discussing politics with the informed, engaged, and intellectually curious among us. But I have never been one to put any salience on which party one belongs to when it comes to personal relationships. I have had friends for years, had many political and philosophical discussions with them, and have no idea what party, if any, they are registered with. That’s just not who I am. Indeed it is the case that I agree with many ideas on all sides of the political spectrum. Yes, one side does dominate but I digress.
QUESTION 4: "Am I an elitist?"
That’s a pretty complex question and would take far too long for me to answer it appropriately. There are many different notions of what an elitist really is anyway. While I have never considered myself to be an elitist, others might think so.
I can only imagine what kind of responses I would get if I wrote 10 more random facts about myself. Perhaps my next post should be on my top ten Broke Straight Boys models instead.
Well I hope that answered everyone’s inquiries. Cheers!
