Why is it, you only realize... that older people have insight and wisdom.... once you get older?
I wish I could run back the clock and do shit all over again, only without rose colored glasses and being such a ducks in a row thinker!
Ive been on this rock for 47 years this March, and the older I get the more "wise to the ways" I become, the more knowledge, experience and (self) education I get... and you know what? I dont like one bit of it.
When I was younger, Id be more concerned about abiding by the law, what ever it was... now I am realizing that many of the laws are pure bullshit. (Constitutional carry for example). Why should I ask my g0v for permission to carry concealed, when 2A already gave me that right?
I read in the news the other day, a group wanted to fly Confederate flags on Lee Jackson day, the news article noted they already had the proper permits to assemble. WTF? A stinking permit is NOT needed for a peaceable assembly!
I honestly didnt realize how *F'IN* stupid I was in my youth, now that I realize it, I regret wasting my youth... on youth.
Today I can look at the videos of the NG going around door to door helping to take weapons post Hurrican Katrina... It makes me sick to my f'in stomach that possie comm has been tossed out the window. But I realize, when I was a young 11B in the VaARNG, I would have been more than eager to put a boot in the door knob!
I was that f'in stupid?
This thread is not about bashing anyone other than myself, but just a public posting that I have reached a certain point of enlightenment, and... in a weird way, I regret it.
Things I currently regret having knowledge of:
* The fact that violent felons are in large numbers all around us
* The fact that sex offenders are in large numbers all around us
* The fact that drug users are in large numbers all around us
* The fact that our money today is just paper and represents nothing of value
* The fact that politicians tell no truths
* The fact that the g0v wipes it's ass with the C0nstitution
* The fact that the law is only forgiving to the rich
* The fact that the redistribution of wealth means taking from the little guy and giving to the already rich
* The fact that I am a slave to the system
* The fact that freedom is just a smoke and mirrors game
* The fact that the militarization of p0lice is being justified
* The fact that I have been lied to by damn near everyone, all my life
Theres a shit load more I can add to the list, but that pretty much tops it off...
