My sister and brother in law are both Jewish. My remark was not directed
towards any specific race, and I think in the context that it was delivered
this is obvious. But those who choose to make an issue about this, have
every freedom.
However I've noticed that some of these individuals are the very one's
crying for a stop to this insanity, but when shown there own nose in a
mirror can't see it.
In this case it was directed at an individual who sought to impose his way
of thinking upon me, not an equal exchange of ideas and philosophy, only
through strong handed tactics, insulting my ignorance, standing in the
guitar and lute world, criminalizing me, and so on. I responded with
absurdities.
If he were a universal monarch, I have no doubt, he would have chosen
to wipe me off the face of the earth for my belief's, because they were
different then his.
In the future, I will do my best to deliver any and all, ill intent,
insults, bad wishes, and hypocrisy, In the mannerly way in which one can
attain the most devastating effect. A skill I have now acquired by
observing the best of the best on this list.
