Well Said… Taylor Mali
Totally like whatever, you know?
In case you hadn’t noticed,
it has somehow become uncool
to sound like you know what you’re talking about?
Or believe strongly in what you’re saying?
Invisible question marks and parenthetical (you know?)’s
have been attaching themselves to the ends of our sentences?
Even when those sentences aren’t, like, questions? You know?Declarative sentences - so-called
because they used to, like, DECLARE things to be true
as opposed to other things which were, like, not -
have been infected by a totally hip
and tragically cool interrogative tone? You know?
Like, don’t think I’m uncool just because I’ve noticed this;
this is just like the word on the street, you know?
It’s like what I’ve heard?
I have nothing personally invested in my own opinions, okay?
I’m just inviting you to join me in my uncertainty?What has happened to our conviction?
Where are the limbs out on which we once walked?
Have they been, like, chopped down
with the rest of the rain forest?
Or do we have, like, nothing to say?
Has society become so, like, totally . . .
I mean absolutely . . . You know?
That we’ve just gotten to the point where it’s just, like . . .
whatever!And so actually our disarticulation . . . ness
is just a clever sort of . . . thing
to disguise the fact that we’ve become
the most aggressively inarticulate generation
to come along since . . .
you know, a long, long time ago!I entreat you, I implore you, I exhort you,
I challenge you: To speak with conviction.
To say what you believe in a manner that bespeaks
the determination with which you believe it.
Because contrary to the wisdom of the bumper sticker,
it is not enough these days to simply QUESTION AUTHORITY.
You have to speak with it, too.
Jim Smithson
Jim was a great family friend that I had the pleasure of knowing for well over 20 years. He always made me smile and had an amazing spirit about him. He will truly be missed.

Our beloved Jim was born on December 26, 1949, in Oklahoma City. He was a graduate of Classen High School. He then went on to attend Bethany Nazarene University, concentrating in business studies. He started his first business as owner and operator of a tow truck company and later added an advertising specialties company. Subsequently, he pursued his lifelong love of performing as a professional magician. He performed frequently in Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Las Vegas, and California. He moved to Norman in 1986. Mr. Smithson’s professional and community memberships include the International Brotherhood of Magicians, Society of American Magicians, Oklahoma City Magic Club Ring 46, the Professional Businessmen’s Association (life membership), and the Cosmopolitan Club. Survivors include his wife, Judy daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter, Jennifer, Shawn and Louisa Hall of Grass Valley, California brother, sister-in-law, and nephews, Ron, Nancy, Michael and Troy Smithson sister-in-law, Johnnye Jenner of Norman sister-in-law, Janna DeMarta Cooper and brother-in-law, Lee Cooper of Florida, as well as many other beloved relatives and friends.

Well Said - Benjamin Franklin
They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.
- Benjamin Franklin
Why do we allow liberty to be taken away in exchange for security?
Examples: FISA, NY Yankees, Patriot Act
