In America today, everything is sooo screwed up. We live in a time where what is truly wrong is considered right, and vice versa. Those who can remember life in the 50's will tell you that things were so much better. Neighbors actually knew one another, people often left their doors unlocked, and there weren't boogeymen lurking around every corner. While it's true, those days weren't as truly wonderful as those who can remember them would actually like them to be, there's much to be said for living that way. So, what's changed? Really. What did? Well, for one, we let the devil in, so to speak. Our schools took the Bible out, and put "Johnny Has Two Daddies" in, or something to that effect; we let women kill their unborn children and called it a right, yet we coddle murderers and rapists because executing them is considered cruel and unusual punishment. We reward sloth and deviant behavior and tax the shit out of those who slave for a living, and we legislate morality by way of politicians who can't keep it in their pants.
I've been in a quandry for some time. As I've said before, I hate conflict; not so much because I'm fearful, but rather because I'm wrathful. When I see or hear of things that piss me off, I want to kill, literally. I don't take kindly to injustice, but I want to administer "street justice". I am of
the bent that sometimes, truly, that is the only way. I like the line in the movie "Shooter", where the Attorney General tells Bob Lee Swagger that, "this isn't the Old West, where the streets can be cleaned up with a gun....even though that's just what's needed". We, who obey the law, look after our families and do what the very real right thing is, should NOT be penalized for it; yet after every turn, there are those who see things differently, and want to impose THEIR will on us.
It's high time we shot back...and I never miss.
