When it's a brown person committing social security fraud, you want to throw the book at them. But this guy's white and once had an association with the military.
I'm a civilian in the Air Force. MOST of the uniformed men and women I work with are fantastic people - the overwhelming majority. But not all. If they were, we wouldn't still be trying to solve sexual assault issues in the services.

Mama always told me if I wasn't willing to actively participate in changing things, then I have no right to complain that they don't change. So when we moved to the Villages and I discovered what it's like (because - where /I/ come from, no one ever asked these questions, we all mostly got along politically, and did/didn't on a personal level instead) - I decided to be the change.
I hint at it here because actual discussion isn't allowed. But I'm pretty active in being that change. If you run away from something you think is detrimental, when you could've stayed and helped improved it - well your motivation to see things remain the same supersedes your motivation to make it change. That's your right. That's what you fought for - the right to change OR to maintain the status quo, as you see fit.
Thank you for fighting for my right to say - you should've stayed and joined the fight. So many people tell me they want to come "except" it's not politically as they'd like. I tell them - it's not politically as they'd like, because so many of you keep insisting that they'd like to come, but it's not politically as they'd like.
BE the change. Or stop complaining.
