Back in the 60s when I was younger we raced our motorcycles around the Lincoln Memorial at 2:00 in the morning. The park police acted as flagmen. Raced a DC motorcycle patrolman one night. Fun times.
Think about how reflexively offended society has gotten since those days. All you hear now is how people say the wrong things, do the wrong things, young guys do young things and screw up and need to be punished, even people trying to abide by all the rules fail in some way and everyone jumps on them as if it is a glorious opportunity.
The first society was a team where everyone cheered everyone else, and tolerated their foibles as you would a brother’s. Today we still have a brotherhood, but the leadership has been infiltrated by our enemy, who is just always seeking to divide us and use these opportunities to make everyone miserable and feel besieged.
