Drive to make "Human" a verb


People no longer know what to believe or how to act. Too many believe nothing. Belief in nothing, justifies any-and-everything. Just as often, believers in one thing, condemn those who don’t believe as they do. The inmates are, truly, running the asylum.
There is also an epidemic in this country of what I call IME Disease (IMD). IMD is natural self-interest on steroids. It is the complete inability to see from any vantage point other than one’s own. Victims rarely use sentences which do not contain the words ‘I’ or ‘Me.’ People afflicted with IMD cannot conceive or admit that they are ever wrong. They act accordingly. Rudeness runs rampant
As fortunate as I am to be American I have never been free enough. So, you can only imagine the angst with which I have founded an organization that intends to be the behavior watchdog, if not police. It has taken 12 years. As often as you will see our PASS acronym, will be the phrase “Dedicated to the Art of Human Being.”
Human being is our mission. By pointing out—on a grand scale—what doesn’t qualify as acceptable human behavior, maybe we can arrive at some consensus about what does.
Let’s start by admitting that we all, at sometime or the other, have quaified for a PASS award.
