I’ve read through your posts here scaredy and have to say I’m with you brother.
I’m not sure I can trust my fellow man anymore. I always felt that Americans were somehow above the fray but that feeling has been ripped to shreds in four short years.
With our weekend evenings cut short this year, we’ve spent a lot of time out by the fire pit out back, just talking. In our family we have very religious conservatives and very wild liberals. We don’t always agree, but we’re always civil to one another.
We hit on a very interesting topic tonight: why does almost every couple consist of an aggressive person (usually the male) and a submissive person (usually the female)? Even in gay or lesbian couples that is true.
This past year we adopted a female mixed breed dog – a former TJ street dog. She was a wild one when we got her, but she is slowly learning the rules of civilization and has a heart of gold. But she is ultra protective of her pack. Someone crosses one of us, buddy, and watch out. She won’t back down for nothing and no one – she doesn’t care how big you are or how loud you bark. We have always had very mellow dogs so we are learning as much from her as she is from us. But you know what? I see a lot of me in her.
I guess where I’m going with all of this is that we as a country have to decide who we are. The moment is now. Are we going to stand up for what is right, or are we going to be submissive to bullying?
I can tell you without a doubt where I fall. I’m that dog from TJ.
