Not sure how many (or either) of my dear readers will remember the wariness that we lived under whilst the IRA were active (due to my chosen career path, I was urged to be constantly vigilante) but I am pretty sure that the rest of the British Isles carried on in their daily routine without breaking out in a cold sweat as soon as they spotted a carrier bag unattended in a public place. Now we are being told that every time we pass throigh an airport we are to be subjected to a violation to our himan rights (the all encompassing excuse being security, the all pervading reason would appear to be profit for all the firms who manufacture the equipment that probes our personal effects) and all due to what exactly, oh yes, the final realisation by a nation, who derives a good percentage of its GDP from being at war, that the world doesn't love them.
Dry your eyes princess, stop trying to drag us all down to your level of populace control (Orwellian at best) and re-assess the situation.
Why? Would be a good question to ask first. What drives people to spread a gospel of hate to the point where men will feel justified to take up arms to battle such.a massive foe? (Looking in a mirror would be a good move at this point).
Oh what's the use? The people who read this probably agree already and the people who need to wouldn't change their mind anyway because they have been brainwashed already. However, (always followed by an apostrophe and an excuse) some people never learn do they? And what I am intimating, dear reader, is that profiling, crowd control, debasement of the human condition (and all who sail in that) are alive and well and those who are basically accepting of "Que sera sera" (not talking Doris Day here) are ruining it for the rest of us.
Honestly, (why do you suspect my word when I pre-empt it with that one?) I was witness to a conversation the other day (please don't request specifics) where a person actually said that he (gender indicative) was wishing that ISIS (oh please, not the first daughter of Geb) were to come to this country, he would "sort them out", OK, I am way ahead of you here, and I have a good guess at what you are thinking, but no! His reasoning behind his ability to "sort them out" was his experience (and this is the most gobsmacked that I have been for quite some time) in "Call of Duty".
Now, what do you do when someone, who obviously, believes that their prowess on a gaming pad (or on a mouse and keyboard) qualifies them to take control of a situation, that many before them have spent years training for, at vast expense and consideration, due to their ability to press reset when the going gets tough?
I have seen trained men (of whom I have a lot of respect for) break down and cry in certain situations, you don't know which of us will crumble nor do you know which of us will become the inspirational person who grabs the situation and turns it to the good or leads others to survival or salvation, I've seen it go both ways and there is no predicting who does what (and that is my only fact in that), so please don't tell me "how you'd handle" so and so or if you would pull the trigger etc. because, unless you have faced the situation and you are referring to that last episode then, I'm really sorry, you cannot tell me how you would react the next time around (anyone out there who can, hand on heart, tell me that they could is obviously a psychopath and you really don't want my name and address).
Must work on my mind ray weapon.
Sorry for any gap in postings but I've been busy, OK?
