Fill Your Hand

Once upon a time, you rarely used your Security Number, perhaps once a year when doing your taxes (which was always on paper), or when getting a new job.

I saw Charles Bronson memorize a Social Security Number in a movie, and since he was always a hero of mine, I memorized my own.

I remember applying for a job in Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids Michigan, at B Dalton Booksellers, and I wrote down my social security number on the application without getting out my wallet. The bookstore manager asked, "You memorized your Social Security number?", a bit astonished. (Most applicants had to go home and find it).

You might compare it today to memorizing a driver's license number.

I was fresh out of college and working three jobs at that time so I could afford an apartment; I couldn't keep up the pace, so that job was the first to go.

Ideas are just neural connections; it's the people connected by the ideas that matter.

Any idea that intentionally hurts or subjugates the innocent is a bad idea.
