True, but I have reached the point where I have total indifference to what they do. Bill Whittle at
www.ejectejecteject.com/ has his latest essay called "Tribes" out. Good reading, and he points out that there are three groups in our society:
Sheep -- the majority, who want to be in their "comfort zone" (my words) and don't want to recognize that there are ...
Wolves -- who prey almost at will upon the sheep, and are totally ruthless and evil. They prey "almost" at will because of ...
Sheepdogs -- who, while protecting themselves, protect the sheep. Some sheepdogs (military, LEO's...) are tasked with protection. Others are plain ole sheepdogs who tend to themselves and their families, but who may protect the stray sheep who don't belong to them when a wolf is around.
The sheep know the sheepdogs are around, but don't like them much because their presence reminds them that there are wolves. Also, now and again the sheepdogs show their teeth, which disturbs the sheep (or my preferred term, sheeple).
The above groups won't change, ever. I recognize this, and I am content to continue on my quest to be a sheepdog.
