Walk Tall and Carry a Big Bankroll

A Big Texas Sheriff

The state of Texas has an extreme history, and as a result we have an extreme Texas sheriff as the President of the United States. “If you mess with America, then you are going to get messed with back.” It seems of no consequence we lose our country in the midst of the fight. Most people know the best fighters are the smartest ones. If a smaller contestant chooses to fight a bully on his terms at a time of his choosing, the underdog surely will lose. If the underdog instead uses his brain, swallows his pride for the moment, and begins to study his opponent, then he has a chance of winning. This simply is because we as human beings stuck on one planet are in it for the duration. One of the best pieces of advice a person can be given is, “Don’t shit where you sleep.” If a bully decides to invoke your wrath, then it becomes his responsibility to deal with you every day in his own neighborhood. When he realizes his life is nothing more than a nano-sketch, a minute cog in a much larger wheel, then the desire to excel can usurp a less important fleeting desire to immediately conquer. No one could teach this lesson better than past Secretary of State Madeline Albright. As human beings hopefully we all learn this lesson as we evolve through life. On the limited front of America, a country that continues to overdevelop, overpopulate, and become depleted of natural resources, the Texas tradition of staking a claim to land has become an anachronism. Instead negotiation or politics has become necessary. It is too bad our president erroneously has mistaken the role of the American President. We have a bullying traffic court judge sitting in his own jurisdiction of Texas (the United States) waving a big stick. His big stick almost has spent all our money, and through processes like these the American people learn about the abuses of power. Being President is a job, and the first step to being successful at it is understanding its purpose, its role, and its function. George W. Bush seems not to understand any of these and instead bases his job on depictions of Buford Pusser or Cool Hand Luke. Brubaker may be a more suitable role model, because the aforementioned strategy being used by Muslim Terrorists could be thwarted.
