Well, first, it made me jealous. Because I am a writer, I want to write something so profound myself someday. Something that will make people think, like this poster did for me.
The words “accepted by a majority” gave me chills. Because this is exactly what is happening. It is not politicians destroying Family Values. Family values have changed because society is changing the rules. Change can be good. But the kind of change I am seeing is anything but good.
It is a change caused by fear.
Heaven forbid that we “offend” anyone. The diplomatic policy between world powers has somehow trickled down to the streets. Politically Correct became the new “thing.” Suddenly, this evolved into ‘Your Confederate statue in the town square offends me.’ “Take it down, or my group will.” Or my favorite, “Change your team’s mascot and their name from the decades-old team name to something else. Something that does not offend people that are not sports fans.
Just because we break some statues or vandalize museums does not change history. We need to accept the fact we can’t change it and move on. Come on, people, let’s grow up and stop the whining.
