Saturday Bullets: Ontology

I personally do not care because, virtually universally, Mahavishnu Orchestra or Rush will not be played, anyway. I would appreciate serious classical music as an alternate to some of the repetitive Christmas music. I really enjoy Brahms, Wagner, Stravinsky, Vivaldi and others.

The previous barber, was her daughter...New 'hairstyle' for me.

T. Patrick Burke (1999) describes ontology as dealing with the doctrine of being.

• Seems to me, a person ontologically, cannot change his/her ethnic origin/race.

• Seems to me, a person ontologically, cannot abstain from his/her ethnic origin/race.

(Cultures change, but ontological ethnic origin and race cannot change, or be abstained from, in a person. It is biology. At least with present medical science.)

• Seems to me, a person can ontologically abstain from act and action in regard to sexual preference.

• In this philosophical, ontological context, ethnic origin and race is not the equivalent to sexual preference.
