I hear you. And in the world of politics it appears that controlling the slippery slope is where the game is.
What if I looked up to you as a small? How could you use that against me?
Such a question is where faith comes in. I have faith that you want good to come of the question.
When I think of small I think of making a small wake, as in boating. The American equivalent is to move forward slowly without looking back. The European equivalent is look back and make sure that I did not offend.
There is more I want to write but first I have to write this.
I have always been uncomfortable with American expressions of courtesy. They seem to be rooted in being thankful for everything that comes along, no matter how bad.
It is getting late and I have to dig down into the Ted Nugent 4WD switch. When my lawyer wife and I started 4-wheeling we ended a night at a club member's house in Rose City. I gave him a good engine and petted his dog. A month later he sent me a letter with this simple dance.
He said Ed, when I heard you were a lawyer and coming to my house I expected you to be a dick. When I saw you lay on my floor and pet my dog I realized that you are good people. Thanks for the engine.
Still digesting all that with more people.
Peace.
