“In my opinion, a person does not gain respect by instilling fear and loathing in others. It's like someone coming up to me, pulling out a pistol, and demanding, "Love me or I'll kill you!"
I'm sure that none of our Loyal Readers would tolerate that behavior, nor would any of them be convinced that the holder of the pistol had any self-confidence or self-respect. The only reason, in my opinion that one would bully or forcibly coerce another, is -- lack of self-esteem and self-confidence; that is, FEAR OF OTHERS!
We, as voters, can do something about this. We can calmly "sit them down", and put them into therapy. In the above scenario, vote them out of office, then ask them to please read the history of the United States, relative to their own recent activities.
Now, forgive me; I know the second part is hideously altruistic -- I admit that.
The first part isn't.”
