Respect, chief. Judging you for those before you and deciding your ability to live for you is a no-go for me. Calling a child a fetus doesn't jive with me either. I used to teach, and some of the "kids" I taught I saw later on as adults, and just because they weren't adults when I was in their lives doesn't mean they didn't turn out to be adults.

Shit, my life wasn't a fucking yellow brick road, but I made it this far, and I learned from every trip up and fall. I lost friends and family along the way..permanent losses. And I wasn't always happy or "good"

But I stumbled and got lucky along the way and looking back I'm glad I didn't follow the pattern and off myself. But seeing the matter-of-fact egotistical "Am I right guys?" That seems to now characterize the northeast and the manupulated echo chamber of the internet lately, especially when Trump himself is a classical, shit talking, new Yorker (which are a rare breed outside of long Island and to some degree Staten island)...just fucking rubs me the wrong way sometimes.

I remember going to a March 4 Trump rally right outta Trump Tower and watching the media vultures descend, and then a few busses pulled up with some Dakota acces pipeline "save the sacred native land" pre-made signs pulled up..

Some little Asian dude rippedmy 4x6 us flag outta my hand. I went to the police on horses and they said "We didn't see nothing." And I realized I was alone. I got surrounded by a group of women in all black with bandanas covering their faces. I told them to get outta my way, one of them poured water over my head. It was cold as shit out and I knew the cops would fuck me if I made a scene so I told them to get the fuck outta my way.

When they stood there laughing and didn't move, I walked right through them without hesitating, 3 fell to the ground and started screaming for the police and recording me as if I had attacked unprovoked. I pulled my pants down under my hairy left ass cheek as I walked away so they could have something to look forward to watching every night.
