The author of a Letter to the Editor rebuttal about how Maine tradition has included taking your children with you to go deer hunting, asks immediately, “Has the world gone completely mad?”
I would have to say it has after reading this ignorant, emotional claptrap: “How can anyone justify exposing a 7-month-old baby to the inherent dangers of errant bullets being discharged in the forest during prime hunting season?”
I am 66 years of age. I began following my father around in the woods during hunting season, sometimes I’m sure he did want me crashing through the leaves behind him, and I’ve never witnessed “errant bullets being discharged” while in the woods. It’s not something that happens but extremely rarely.
And yet the same sniveling whiners think nothing of strapping a newborn baby into a car seat and heading to the mall. Surely there is more risk in a car than from so-imagined “errant bullets.”
Or perhaps this brain-poisoned automaton would prefer that the children stay home and become mind controlled from filthy, disgusting movies, music, video games, cell phones, Facebook, and the like. Perhaps she would prefer propping the child up in front of the technological device and watching Disney’s new movie that shows one princess looking to kill another “rival” princess with broken glass. There’s also the myriad available violence-laced video games that teach children how to fire “errant bullets” and kill innocent people all in the name of entertainment.
Maybe the author prefers that at 7 months of age the parent begins teaching their child how to become a homosexual, a transgender, a lesbian, a queer, bisexual, or the benefits of smoking dope or doing meth at a young age. God only knows we can’t take any other far-out risk of exposing our child to “errant bullets.”
“Has the world gone completely mad?” Absolutely, and this author is proof of it. The world is insane. Priorities are askew. Values have all gone away. Morals are missing.
Trying to Understand Americans’ Values
I didn’t want to say anything about this but I just can’t muster the discipline to keep quiet. I want to make sure I have this straight in my own mind. First a tiny bit of perspective before a whole lot of perspective.
There was an issue, real or make believe, that footballs were discovered during last Sunday’s game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots. How it is being handled by the NFL is really neither here nor there. When I compare the amount of outrage and media coverage of this event compared to other professional sports “rules” infractions, in addition to the behavior of leaders of this country, it makes little sense.
This nation/corporation has had, does have, and will have members of professional sports who have beaten their children, beaten their spouses, raped women, killed people, gambled against their own sports, taken countless amounts of performance enhancing drugs and illicit drugs and I have probably just scratched the surface. And, some of these guilty people are still playing their sport and have been inducted into their respective Halls of Fame.
We have leaders of this nation/corporation, who, on a regular basis, lie, cheat and steal. We have heads of departments that lie under oath. This government, evidently with the approval and blessings of the people, lies, cheats, steals, murders, invades countries, stage fake terror events, sell, rape and murder children within pedophile rings world wide. And this I have only scratched the surface.
I think everything listed above is a bit more serious than whether or not Tom Brady or anyone or everyone with the New England Patriots tampered with the air in a football to gain an advantage. It certainly does not deserve the hateful and despicable hours of actions and words from idiots who are just pissed off because the Patriots beat their favorite team…again. Americans do love to hate winners!
I heard one morning anchor woman, whose husband is an ex football player and brother-in-law is a back up quarterback for an NFL team, nearly lose her composure while stating that the Patriots “push the envelope” in order to win football games. This, the same woman, who daily repeats pre-written lies her media leaders demand that she read, while seldom displaying the proportionate amount of outrage over other U.S. and world events that should make one’s skin crawl.
Commentary on what did or might have happened is unworthy of writing into words. The masses of holier-than-thous, whose priorities are such that outrage exist, while hiding behind the despicable lie of “protecting the integrity of the game”, really deserve nothing more than the servitude of which they are more than guilty of fomenting because of their perverted senses of worth and value.
While rOME burns, the perverts of Sodom and Gomorrah, want Brady brought to the center of the coliseum. While you worry and spend thousands of dollars in corruption and decadence over man’s game, none are aware, the winners have already been decided.
Go for it! You deserve it!
