I'm a cynic? Yes. And a misanthrope. Why Jim? When did you lose faith in your fellow human?
My best friend's sister married a troop/cop.
Two of my ex's work for the state.
Most of the "males" I work with put their entire lives in the hands of the women in their "lives".
I'm called a crazy asshole because I don't believe that violence should be used for anything except defense and justice.
Some folk I work with were abused as kids and most were hit. And they still think they turned out "all right". (I work in a restaurant, We are not all right.)
A vet I was friends with on FB said he got PTSD because of the sick things he and his fellows had to do for political whims. He hates himself and is suicidal. Still wants young men to throw away their humanity and individuality to maintain this false narrative of freedom.
An ex friend told me once that true freedom is the freedom to buy whatever one wants. He said this with a straight face.
I know folks who have spent thousands of hours honing their stage craft only for the rush of accolades of their fellow thespians at community theatre award ceremonies.
Poor unlearned people weighing in on the subject of population control. When it's their very own demographic that will be subject to such a policy.
As you can see. It's been quite the "process". (quoting an ex's who was on lithium and had shock treatment).
