Tal Mons, I had to go back and read my own post to try and understand what you were addressing me about. I have two sons that are no longer teenagers, They are both in fact Men of our Nation, the younger of the two deploys for Iraq in June-ish. He’s a proud Blue Cord wearin’ Grunt. When at my house always rushes to answer my home phone with some damn Home of the Infantry crap. Yes I understand a great deal about the youth of this nation, I was in the service a long time and seen many, many come and go, from all walks of life and I have stood for black sons of America when black men wouldn’t, because I did look at each MAN as an individual. I could give you one personal reference of a man and won’t give his name in the open, but he was accused of stealing from the PX. His actual section leader turned his back on him, the section leader his black. I talked to the troop in question and found him sincere and staked my own credibility on him with our Commander. To this very day that MAN did not let me down. Now I brought up that issue because in your post you made mention of your being black and of the stereo type about stealing. I think you can see I don’t carry that predjudice. I wasn’t relating my post at all to the trouble or lack of trouble in our youth. I in fact think a lot like you. That youth that is America is doing me damn Proud in the Learning Institutions, see Caitlyn, The Military, see Iraq, the young warriors are doing an excellent job even if the old Generals can’t get their shit together. My post was about YOU, ME and the adults that try and shield our children from all of life’s trials and pitfalls, as well as it’s wonders and rewards. If you had a daughter would you teach her about life as a slave should she choose this path? I taught my sons about the path of a warrior, they are such, I also taught then that they could choose many directions, they are free and their path is their own. I did teach them as you would expect a Gorean man would that slavery is not an option for them. To fall prey to confinement or repression would limit their way as a man. I hope they were listening. If I had a daughter, would I teach her about slavery you must be ready to ask. Well, the fact of the matter is that after long thought and soul searching I would demand that her mother inform her completely as possible about those slave feeling that I would as a Gorean imagine all women feel. Would I have her mom teach her to be a slave, no. But if a I had a daughter I wouldn’t let my foolish pride stand between her and absolute happiness if it was a slave she was meant to be. If she is well informed, don’t you think she will make the best decision for herself? I hope this clears things up a bit. I do think our kids are good, I really do. Yours and mine, Mons. Live well friend, Bull
