But what if the goofi are the ass-whippers?
They often are. Saw a clip this morning: an old woman, in broad daylight, stabbed to death by what was probably a half-wit. Now, I'm not blamin' the crone, please understand that, but: if her head had been on a swivel and if she had been armed, then the knifer might have been the one coolin' off dead.
There are monsters: prepare yourself.

For example: age doesn't understand what anyone is talking about because age takes it literally and just wants to vent at the world... oh wait, that's not a good example, it's just true.
Autist or not: Age, when no invitation has been extended, had best stay outta my home at 3am.

Okay, a better example:
A whole bunch of half-witted people decide to take up arms against people (perhaps other half-wits) who simply have different views that are offensive to some half-witted people. If they (as well as those who care about them) all resort to ass-whipping, does everyone end up dead?
One group takes after another for no reason other than they're offended at the other group's view point? Not becuz the second group has infringed on or violated the first group, but only becuz they think different? The first group, then, are the offenders; the second group are the defenders. The offenders are wrong; the defenders are right.
But, as we play this out, we can move the justice needle back and forth. What if the first group are like me, natural rights folks, and the second group are slavers who've made no threats to the natural rightists. Who's the bad guy then when the natural rightists take off after the slavers?
Or the first group are slavers who only leash adults, and the second are slavers who leash kids as well: is there any good guy in this scenario when the first goes after the second?
Further: no group, large or small, is monolithic. There are always factions and divisions among supposedly like-minded people. What if, in the scenario of natural rights folks vs slavers, there are some natural rightists who think the slavers ought be left alone (not becuz the slavers are right or good but becuz they leave the natural rights folks alone). And what if, among the slavers, there are those who've begun to question the morality of slavin'. Where do we, as observers of these messes, align ourselves?
We've entered the land of politics where everyone gets dirty.
No, it's best, for your own soul, to stay clear of
We.
We muddies the waters.
And, if Christians are right, it's a helluva lot easier to stand before God and explain yourself when you've been soley in charge of
you rather than as a bit part in a
We.
Damn easy for any
one to get caught up in the whims or agendas of
many. As I say: you have to gate-keep your head or someone will surely make use of what's in there, for their benefit, not yours.
So: loopin' back...
Two sets are goin' at it: let 'em...and don't get yourself caught up in their brouhaha.
