Unless you somehow changed your mind again since you retyped this and think this is actually a good look, you do agree with me?

Its ok....this isn't a political thread, you're allowed to share my opinion on this one.

What I originally wrote was

"Dude outta be shot.
Either that or run over by those oversized pizza cutters.
Several times."



Short and to the point, if grammatically incorrect. I must explain that I inherited that trait from my father, who took his teaching certificate along as he flew off to WW2; only to return speaking in much shorter, more...ahhhhh.... DIRECT phrases.

(So I'm told; not having been born until 20 years later.)

Since my Mom passed on; I've taken more time to read some of my Dad's early writings... very descriptive and full of life and color, they remind one of Steinbeck. Writings one would expect from a "young New York gentleman teacher of the 30's and 40's".
What came back from England and Europe was a very different guy.... quite blunt.
When I was in the 5th grade and studying US history; he explained his experiences in Europe. War itself was not inherently a bad thing in his mind; it was akin to a fever being the body's method of "cleansing itself" of infectious aberrations. "War is humanity's way of getting rid of the a**holes in the human race." His recalled wartime experiences were not extraordinary; it was the the duty into which he was pressed afterward; flying Eisenhower and various Congressmen around to Buchenwald, Dachau, Stalag 1, and various Hebrew ghettos.


The most eloquent speech I ever heard from my Dad was (to paraphrase):

"When somebody rises to power by promising to cure the people of all their ills; they'll believe in him... until he decides the people are the ill.

"Remember the old cliche: 'When he came after (Group A), I didn't speak out; because it was for me. When he imprisoned (Groups B and C), I didn't speak out, for he did it for me. When he eventually came after me, there was nobody left to speak out.'

"Fight with all you have for what you believe in; or somebody will take it away from you and say it's for your own good."

.....................

Probably the most words I ever heard out of my father's mouth in one continuous statement; and they formed my attitude for the rest of my life.

Obviously I inherited the very strong Conservative values my Dad acquired during WW2; as well as my Mom's ability to speak her mind. And that's why you and I will undoubtedly never agree on the Socialistic views of the guy presently running my Country.

OBTW; I've actually been to "your planet". When I was 10 (1972), Mom and Dad took me back to New York for my first (and so far only) visit. We stayed at the family farm across the road from Dad's old dairy; about 7 miles off the south shore of Lake Ontario. They took me to the Falls; and we went across the border for a short period. Dad was "restless" until we got back to Clarkson township on "our side, where we belong".







Wow. How's that for a thread-jack?
