I had planned in my mind a conversation that included all Y’s and spoke in a warm tone but all they heard were harsh X’s.  For from the moment my mouth opened their perception of what I was going to say was already made up and they would only hear the words that went with that perception even if they weren’t actually said. If this happens way to often in your life maybe the question should start such discussion. For when you know where someone is coming from then maybe you can lead them down a different path or at least know your path is somewhere they can’t go for now. I’m going to try that approach next time even if it requires more listening and empathy then actually talking.

Of all the controversial statements that Donald Trump has stated this one has to be the tamest.  The truth is if we were the only one stopped on a crowded highway driving at the same speed, our first inclination probably would be why did that ”    ” officer stop me (fill in the blank).  Donald Trump feels as if he is being tried by a Kangaroo Court and the only reason this is occurring is because this judge doesn’t agree with his position on building a wall.  Of course Donald Trump shouldn’t have made this about the judge’s ethnicity  but his liberal views yet can we honestly say that ethnicity might not have played a role in the judges decision.   We face justice that too often peeks through there blindfold of justice to help their friends and hurt their enemies whether it be based on political viewpoints, payouts or even ethnicity. Even though many might condemn what Trump said I wonder if we were in the same situation what we would have thought so differently?

The next Taboo to crumble will of course first start in Hollywierd where some starlet will try to grab the media attention as she announces that she is marrying 2 husbands.  It will shock the world for a day or 2 and then the media will start a narrative of why we shouldn’t judge as it moves society to acceptance or ostracize.  We can judge when this new Taboo will start to crumble as we see the court move to bring “liberty to the potty” all across our nation.  For freedom will no longer mean do as you want but accept it all even if it goes against the values you hold dear.
