It is So Much Easier This Way.

There are times I would love to take people aside and ask them, what is your problem?  I’ve gone through life with a simple detachment and have an unfortunate quality where I believe its okay to be different from others and it’s okay for others to be critical of me, I can either accept or reject that criticism based on how much I value the person rendering it.  I’ve not had a lot of experience of people coming to my defense, not do I have an expectation that should happen.

Obviously that approach doesn’t really work well in today’s world.  If anyone is critical of anything it becomes the responsibility of the mob to attack and beat the offender down as a dangerous, vile, contemptible, inexcusable, irrational, example of a sociopath who does not know that in todays online society we can only praise each other, unless of course you are a liberal commentator and then it's okay to call people names and wish for their expiration.  I note here liberal commentator but the same holds true of conservative commentator.  It is just that the liberal spin machine is always complaining about, or pushing companies to boycott, conservatives it’s hard to tell if it about something they’ve said, or just the fact they are alive.

So, as we move from a democracy to mob rule, I guess I need to know what the rules are so I can avoid the fate of that guy who was beat down and stripped and robbed in Baltimore while the mob laughed.  Funny thing, color is never mentioned in this report, why isn't that always the case?
