like I said, May 5th!, so as not to insult or ruffle the feathers of their fellow, legal or not, Mexican-American students! This is our country! Are we going to go around ostracizing Mexican-Americans for wearing their colors on the 4th of July? No! The Mexicans have a rich and storied culture. Let 'em wear anything they want. This is a free country. We can say anything we want, last time I checked. And we, as citizens, should be able to wear anything we want as well. Really, let's stop worrying about hurting peoples' feelings. That's a surefire avenue to being taken advantage of. My Dad, if he were still alive, would be shaking his head. And I know my Father-in-law is shaking his. They were both sons of legal immigrants. Buck up America, let's not be such wusses. Sorry, but that's the way I'm feeling. Too much blood has been shed for our freedom to cow-tow to overly politically-correct, or incorrect sentiments.
Remind me not to rant again. I'm actually a mellow guy.
ReplyDeleteI'm not mellow at all. This year, I reverted to my sailing persona to get mellow. I seek out places like 829 S. Drive because people tell me it's the place to mellow a fellow out. And then, when I get there, the host winds me up like a windmill. Where's the truth-in-advertising in that?
