I'm not sure at all were the bit about huge tool kits comes into play... is there something you'd like to share with the class, Doctor?
Well, I
am getting older, let's face it, and I've thought about looking into some of those pills that help cork the ol' bat. Maybe I'll try those testosterone supplements I hear ads for on the radio sometimes, Active Male, Enhanced Male, something like that. I like their tagline: "
Be the way you used to be." Because, really, that's what my work is about, rebuilding my life the way it used to be. That includes a college job, college dating, college rules and mores, just like I was taught. What's wrong with that? It's better than my idiot brother controlling my money, my food, and only allowing us to use the car once a week on Sunday--your basic law-and-order liberal, who rose to power after my partner blew town and took it upon himself to micromanage every aspect of the family's life. I had things a lot better before. So I'm a college peaker. Big deal. I
tried moving on, in both my career and my relationship, and it
failed. If anything, things got worse. So, as I said, I'm going back to my old formula for success. Why change? My motto: it was good enough for me in 1997, and it's good enough for me now.
I don't really
have any friends my age. They've all moved on with their own lives or haven't talked to me since the Herald scandal. Over 15 years have passed and they're
still mad about that. And if their business model is so horrible, why is that rag still up and running? It defies logic.
Conservatism is
not dying. Many people hold conservative or moderate beliefs, and even highly left-leaning states like California are very leery of same-sex marriage, voting it down on every ballot initiative. I say we on the right are willing to respect gay relationships if the left is willing to honor and protect non-traditional straight ones, such as dating across social and faith boundaries. I've mentioned my ex's dad and how he spurned and insulted me, all because I'm a lower-class Lutheran wanting to date his rich Catholic daughter. If it had been a homosexual or a person of color who got the same treatment, Jesse Jackson would pack his bags and hurry out there on the next thing smoking. Where's my anti-defamation group? If my reconciliation had been permitted I might not be living under my brother's thumb enduring a decade of abuse and torment right now. This man's sneering elitism and intolerance ruined my life. I demand immediate justice.
