The naivete (the symbols won't show in the title line for some reason) here has GOT to go.

65. Good for you!

I was the same way...go along to get along, don't make waves, etc.

Then 2 things changed. I started teaching Health in High School and Middle School. Anti-bullying is part of the course, and after you repeat the same thing to a whole bunch of different kids, it sinks in...the ONLY way to handle a bully is to stand up to them, something our politicians better learn, and fast. The second thing is that asshole was elected because too many people in this country think it's obviously just fine to put a damned criminal in charge of things. The Police Union discovered it...now that the panther is eating THEIR faces, it's a problem.

So screw 'em all. They want a fight? I think they're going to be shocked at the level of resistance, and then they will, of course, whine about how unfair & mean Democrats are because we won't just let them run roughshod over us. We don't have to be bullies...we just need to be strong.

We have all become anvils, now. Or need to, real fast. They wanna play? Let's play.
