Every #citizen of the #world must remember that #democracy isn't a gift or a guarantee. Anybody just offering to it to you is hiding an ulterior motive that promises a worse future. Similarly, you may have either uncertain and fleeting extraordinary #privileges, or limited, but robust benefits that must be shared among all #compatriots.

Democracy is a privilege that's #won and #protected through #sacrifice and #valor, for it has no other #knights in shining armor, but the #people.

They cannot get enough, those #Yanks from their #TriggerHappy #compatriots It looks like #killing people outside of the #USA is not enough. SΓ³; keep at it folks. And don't forget your #potus.

As the #NewMusicTeacher was a #GrownUp; he #Decided that #TheBestThing for us #ToDo was to #Learn #HowToSing; because, #IT would #GiveUs all a #Shared and #CollectiveExperience of #Music, which was a #SoundRationale...

What #HeFailed to #Appreciate was that I and my 8-Compatriots were #AlreadyQuiteSkilled in #SeveralInstruments, which we #AlreadyOwned. #InMyCase (as a #Bassist) a #Cello, a #Trombone, and a #Bassoon. My #RomanCatholicMother had also #Made #SeparateArrangements for me to #Attend #AdditionalCoaching on the #Piano, which was #Lovely...

My #Compatriots were also #FairlyWellAccomplished on a #Range of #Instruments from which we were able to #Form a #RelativelySmall; but, #ComprehensiveOrchestra... #MainlyBecause were were already #VeryAppreciative of #Music... #InGeneral and #QuiteSpecifically...

#BackInTheDay when #OLevels were a #Thing; #BeforeGCSEs had been #Invented...

I was #StudyingMusic with 8-#Compatriots all of whom were about the #SameAge at a #School; the #SameSchool that #RobertSmith from #TheCure was #Expelled from... #IT was a #FaithBasedSchool that was both #Local and #Chosen by my #RomanCatholicMother; because, she was a #GrownUp...

I had had #ManyMusicTeachers before; because I was #QuiteFond of #Music and #BroadlyCompetent with #SeveralInstruments...

#TheSchool had a #Change of #MusicTeacher during #MyTime with them; #So, the #MusicTeacher that I made #Cry was #New and his #Appointment came just as I and my 8-#Compatriots were #Preparing to take an #Examination...

#IF you're #NotSure what an #Examination is; then, #LookITUp... #IT's like a #Test...
