Writer Jackson

TRW - here and ecstatic. Can't believe it! Writer Jackson called me. He was in South Africa giving a talk on the rights and the wrongs of apartheid, but at the same time explaining to all that there is no right or wrong. Just the is and the isn't. What a guy. Well, someone asked him if there is only the is and the isn't, then there is no learning and just a knowing. He explained that that was correct.

Turns out the guy was a record producer from Atlanta, and decided to take him up on that and stated that if that was true - Writer Jackson should be able to fly a plane. So Writer Jackson jhopped into his G4 and flew his to Atlanta. Writer knew I was driving up here, so he called me and The Kid and I met up with him in Atlanta.

He shared a story and maybe we can all learn soemthing from it:

A very intelligent, very intuitive young girl was at her home one day. Her father told her not to do something a few days before that day. So the young girl did exactly what she knew not to do. The father asked her why she had done this wrong thing. The young 9 year old smiled and said, with a thoughtful look, "It's better to ask for forgiveness, then ask for permission." This was a phrase she had heard from her father many times, and seen him use it many times. So what is the father to do? Remember, our children, as well as the people we teach are a product of the things we say and do. Therefore, if they do what we do not wqant them to - do they deserve to be punished?

As for what Writer, I, and The Kid spoke of - It doesn't fuckin matter and you don't need to know.
