A place I never want to visit.

I suspect hell is right here on Earth. And not necessarily just in Texas. My guess is that anyone can be in hell at any time and any place. Merely by going into prolonged depression. In other words, hell is a mental state. If I were compelled, for instance, to think like a Republican. That would be holy hell. So, I'm very careful about my choices. I choose to be a socialist. A romantic idealist. A free-thinker. A liberal. A lover. Therefore, I am in ecstasy. In Nirvana. Heaven. Paradise. Hell is no more than a remote notion. Some far away place I never want to visit. --Jim Broede

I suspect that I'm guilty of trying to provoke people. It comes so naturally. --Jim

But I do try to be a reasonably good boy. I do mean much of the provocative stuff in a good-natured way. You're supposed to laugh. Rather than be angry. It's your choice. Not mine. --Jim
