I get it when Mothers Against Drunk Driving completely flip our
wonderful drinking world on its ear with numerous heinous laws and fines to get
the party people off the roads, including me. I get it! Drinking and driving is
bad. People sometimes have accidents and people can die. I get it! It’s not a
good thing when little kids die or even whole families are slaughtered by that
old stinking drunk who felt it was more important for him to finish off that
quart of vodka before noon than sober up from the night before. They just don’t
get it, but I do!
But, as the days quickly pass I’m noticing more and more
that I’m that drunk riding his bicycle instead of his car. I’m that guy puffing
on his last cigarette at street level like some leper that society has passed
by or simply want to forget about.
Is the feeling of American patriotism now the new taboo?
Could it be that someday society will be corralling patriots who love their country
into little sectors like those scummy smokers, out of the way to be starved,
denied health care and minimized into oblivion like what’s left of the Native
American Indian?
I get it when our President seems more interested in getting
third world terrorists to our shores than taking care of the people already
here. I get it when schools expel kids for wearing t-shirts proclaiming the
Second Amendment, I GET IT!
I get it when our Federal Government sues states for simply
trying to enforce Federal laws the Fed won’t enforce.
You know I could go on and on all day about this but, I know
you get it too!!! – N.P.Contompasis
