We were talking about this in Dan Rather’s blog, about “woke” and in the Veteran Suicide Prevention group on Facebook. When I was about 10, I found a copy of the Protocols of Zion in one of a couple of bookcases in my home. I think my dad heard about it and ordered a copy just to see. These days we would recycle the paper, but not an option 70 years ago. I was fascinated and then got chills contemplating the evil of the thing. I was 10 but no author was mentioned, and I could see where it might lead. Censorship: in schools, yes, age-appropriate material. That said, kids who think they’re not just like their classmates should be able to find discussions of certain topics — NOT to promote homosexuality or sex change procedures, but for a small percent who might find such things good to know about. I’m not a parent. I was stationed in Spain when Franco was still in charge, 1968-70. I was mad as could be to buy a French Elle magazine — only to find pages torn out by the damned censors. About sex change surgery! Total hypocrisy over there back then! All happy Catholic families and no divorce! Yeah, sure! These people who want to regulate everything are ignoring the power and presence of God! I always look for the name of the author or when and where a picture was taken. I was misled by untruthful material. A man was recently tried for putting it out that Sandy Hook didn’t happen. But if some author puts out “literature” that 80% of the population thinks is nuts, I have a right to take it in and decide for myself. Fooey! I might like it! And confusing opinion with actual factual news is a no-no. Educated people would not care for that. I have an AA and BA and some graduate courses. And I just took a beating at a VA medical center, stayed overnight, drove home — no fun. So this is my best shot. God bless!
Your subject is quite valid, “Is a person who believes it is OK to kill a person for having different skin, religion, sexual orientation?” Is it correct to give this person the same freedom they fight to take from others? ” I’ve pondered that for decades, along with the question, “where dose hate come from?” I believe hate comes from ignorance of others, “THEM” , ‘I don’t know them, they might hurt me’. so I hurt/kill THEM so they don’t hurt me. This fear feeds my hate and it’s very primal. When we’re young our experiences teach us about the world and survival, example; my mother was an incest survival married with 2 sons, not a woman in the house with her. She tried to raise me a girl, I didn’t know about sexuality yet I knew I liked beating up my buddies more than I like playing with dolls so it didn’t stick. She also taught me that men were terrible, discusting brutes, women didn’t enjoy sex they summitted. I didn’t know what sex was yet I knew I was a terrible person. THAT lesson stuck! My feelings of self loathing for forcing a women I loved to do this with me was severe. My studies found that this is called an irrational belief which became part of “Who I Am”. The study of Irrational/rational beliefs became a core aspect of my thinking process, trust me I question almost every thought I have then I recheck them again. I work on my hatred of US civilians knowing I don’t want to, I’m a Viet Vet, both are honest and being honest with me is #1 with me. Decades back when I entered a room people would leave, and I didn’t need to speak, today people smile and I don’t know why, that’s their problem. Two things for sure in my life, I got more work to do and I’m not who I was taught I was. I do feel more at ease with me. Thanks for the Sunday morning subject, my head hurts so I know I’m alive. Time for breakfast.
Thank You for putting all this in black and white unfortunately those that look at it with different views will read the white and tell you how wrong you are.
