Taking A Poll

"Alcohol: liquid persuasion."
The Chemical Buddha discovered that somewhere between buzzed and alcohol poisoning was a sweet spot where he could get someone to do practically anything. Of course, this was the same zone where someone could want to kick his ass for practically any reason too. But to him, it was worth finding 'the zone'. TCB was convinced that some of the best sex he ever had was while he was drunk. The only problem was, he didn't remember any of it, so him being good in bed existed mostly in his mind. Judging by the stories we've heard and some of the videos we've been shown, we have to say his fantasy did not reflect any known reality.

How often do you ask other people's opinion of you?
How often do you give your opinion to other people? When giving your opinion, do you tell them the truth or try not to hurt their feelings?

Opinions

“Why do controlled substances lead to uncontrollable behavior?”
As demonstrated by today’s insight, The Chemical Buddha had an appreciation for irony and word play. He was said to have mumbled this in the drunk tank at his local jail. The cops and his fellow inmates didn’t share TCB’s ironic appreciation. He also tried this insight when trying to get his fellow citizens to sign his petition seeking to take controlled substances off their leash and make them uncontrolled. And while all of the street people were totally in favor of it, no one else was. And without a valid address (rather than ‘under the 6th street viaduct’) the signatures he did get, didn’t count.
Whose opinion do you value and why?
What sway does their opinion have over you?
What things to you do or don't do because of their opinion? What’s the impact on you?
