Amid the Respectables in the Heartland

by Robert Higgs

Americans of today, for the most part, believe they are free.

 

Reading the above is a discovery for me. I now know that my experiences are not so uncommon. The differences are obvious to me; like having one shouted at one minute and completely ignored the next minute.

The message is the same: "Don't fuck with my conscience freedom."

Yes, it is vulgar. I'm not sure if the silent version is more or less vulgar.

I know!

How about this:

The ole' good cop bad cop routine:

One will listen for a moment and then just about the time that tactic sooths one into a sense of security, just then, a steady and unrelenting excretion of expletives crashes all hope.

Like being on death row; maybe

I will confess anything whatsoever just kill me or let me live.

So there is my commentary. It sure seems like a breath of fresh air to have consistent responses to a well understood communication.

One may be inclined to throw a party; at least the feedback is clear.


I'm not complaining, really, just trying to be sympathetic. One can learn to appreciate silence and the functions of duplicity.
