Troy a week ago I posted some comments in the Back Alley thread on the Ferguson riots. Or at least I think that was the place. After I made the post I have not been back in there again. I am sure you have made some kind of a reply. I doubt that I will go and read it.
I have taken a little more than a week off from posting. (I have gone in to the PackersHome site and read a few things about the Packers but I have not said anything in any of the threads.) Sort of a self-imposed time out.
I am trying to figure out why I reacted the way I did. There have been many other posters who I have not been so sarcastic with. I like you and respect you. I do think you are a man of integrity. So I have been trying to figure out why I can be such a pain in the butt. I don’t have an answer. The best that I can come up with is that I expect more from you than I do from others. That is unfair of me. I suppose what frustrates me is your seemingly double standard. To allow one group to lie or steal and hate and then condemn another group based solely on their skin color or economic position when they act the same way. It just doesn't make sense to me. I have decided it is not fair of me to tell you what you should or should not say or do.
During this past week I was asking myself if my mother’s deteriorating mental condition had anything to do with it. I decided that it shouldn't. There are many others with more difficult circumstances than I have. Wade has gone through a lot more with his mother than I have has to deal with so I need to make sure I don’t use that as an excuse.
It is my intent to stop riding you and trying to change your opinion. That is not my job.
I considered putting this note in the Back Alley but it is not my intent to make this into a political discussion. I am putting this into the Random Babble section since not everyone goes into the Back Alley.
Earlier this week I saw a picture that made me think of you so I am putting it here. Feel free to use it again if you like it.
