As to the Brown/Cop thing. Who is right, who is wrong? Don’t know, don’t have all the facts, wasn’t their. Perhaps in time we will find out.
But the ‘BASIC’ problem is, these are, TWO groups, who BOTH, have been told, over and over again, that they are, ’special’ , and enjoy privileges not available to anyone else. And that, ‘conflict’, will go on, and on, and happen over and over again.
However this statement, is very disturbing:
“ … Folk, how is your life working out for you? … … Are you just happy and thankful to be able to enjoy another day with all its wonder? … … Is someone or something keeping you from a good life buzz? … … Has fighting and pushing back, work’n for ya? …
That attitude above, is EXACTLY why, we are in the situation we are in today. Which started, v e r y S l o w y, in 1776. It grossly excelated, in 2008.
'Their is nothing I can do about, ‘it’. I can’t change, ‘anything’. I can’t, ‘do’ anything. My Vote doesn’t count. It’s to much work. Let someone else do it. So I’ll just sit back, and ignore it all.’
That is the attitude that 80% of the people in this country have. and that is the, SOLE REASON, the elected politicians, and the appointed administrators, do ANYTHING they WANT, Any Way, Any Time, for Any reason. Because they KNOW, 80% of the, ‘people’ will NOT DO ONE THING, or SAY ONE WORD. And the few that do, “Well their just kooks, don’t listen to them”
Suppose this happens: ‘You live in a small town, you stop at the mart-mart on the way home from work to pick up some milk and bread. You see your neighbor, (your friend), you have a pleasant chat, and he mentions; “Ya know, I know you drive a Motorcycle, their was something in the local paper, about the town council, and Motorcycles, don’t know what it all was, but maybe you want to check it out”. Well you had a hard day at work, ya just want to get home, have a beer, order some Pizza, and turn on the TV. So you do just than, and forget all about what your neighbor just said.
Meanwhile: (The camera pans to the notice in the newspaper), and it says: “Town Meeting Tues Night at City Hall at 7PM, All invited. To be discussed, …blaa-bla-bla, and buried in that notice is says: “Decision on the ownership of the Suzuki/Savage, LS650 or the S40 motorcycle”.
Of course it is a Great T.V. show, and a very Tasty Pizza, and you forget all about what your neighbor said. Didn’t bother to find out what the notice said. Didn’t call City hall. Don’t bother to check. Didn’t bother to talk to your, Alderman/or one of the Council people, or the Mayor. (What a tasty Pizza and a great TV show)
Now, one of the reasons, you are so tired after work, is that you have been putting in a lot of overtime, and saving up for the NEW 2014, S40, which you have had your eye on. Finally, you have enough. You get a ride to the Dealer, (in the next town), plunk down your money, and are driving it home. SUDDENLY, the Town Cop, pulls you over, is Very agitated, and Demands you surrender your new Motorcycle, ‘BECAUSE IT IS NOW ILLEGAL, for YOU to OWN it !
Seem that, the, ’council’ meeting was well published. And the ONLY people that showed up, were the people that wanted to, BAN, the Suzuki/Savage, LS650 or the S40 motorcycle. NO ONE WAS THEIR, to defend it. So They Made A LAW! "Ya Can't Own One"
Now, what will you do? Kiss 5 grand good buy? 5 grand you worked so hard for, 5 Grand, which was YOUR, money? Or? Ya now gonna be a, ‘kook’ ?
YES, the above senerio, is far fetched. But you GET THE POINT ! (If you don’t, well then, ‘What JOG said”) Let someone else do,’it’, because: “The Pizza tastes good, and their is a great TV show on”
Ya know I live a good life, I do stop and, ’smell the roses’. BUT, one cannot do that, if one’s Head Is In The Sand!
