It's kind of a tough thing to hold a donkey bar-b-que for those who for the most part are in agreement with you. ( what's the donkey reference? think about it )
After all, those who are generally on your side aren't the enemy. Why go after them? It does seem counter-productive. Nevertheless, it is hard to watch people screw up who don't need to be, and probably wouldn't be if they weren't being somehow pulled in the wrong direction.
This Governor of ours (Tx) is a Republican. Generally speaking, he's probably more good than bad. But this mask order, even though it doesn't go that far, was just the kind of thing that drives me up the wall. Even though it may only be symbolic, it still means something, and it was too much to give those who are causing all this trouble.
It really is sad to watch. I don't have kids, but it must be like that with a kid that you raised in a good home, and the kid takes a really bad turn. Very disappointing. It makes you wonder if you are at fault somehow.
You can lead the horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink. Nothing can prevent people from doing the wrong thing.
In the end, what if they are right? Well, if they are right, it is for the wrong reasons.
But they are wrong as can be. In the final accounting for all the ages to come, somebody may draw a line under this generation and say this is where it could have gone better, but didn't. I hope that won't be the case here.
