To: Prodigal Son

Liberal parents have dysfunctional kids.

LOL. It’s not just liberals who are sh1tty parents. My dad was an arch conservative. I can’t even imagine someone more conservative than him. If you called him a liberal, he’d probably shoot you.

Anyway. He was my parent. He was conservative. Look how I turned out.

What’s wrong with YOU?

You want to go around and put political blinders on yourself, you’ll miss a lot of hard truths out there in the world.

I don’t wear “blinders”. I just know what I see.

So, what’s wrong with YOU?

I find it interesting that your miniker is the Prodigal Son. Did Dad also take you back when you realized your wrong turn in life? If so, was he really as terrible as you claim? What made your dad so awful, in your eyes ?

My moniker is not the Prodigal Son. It is Prodigal Son. No definite article. There are so many prodigal sons in the world- and daughters. And prodigal fathers and mothers.... I cannot be THE one.

What made your dad so awful, in your eyes ?

Hmmmm. Being a sociopath? Beating me for no reason? Beating my mother. Being a racist. Alcoholic. I have a long list of reasons. The last words my dad ever said to me were 'F--- you!' That was hmmmm.... Almost 20 years ago. Haven't heard from him since.

Is that ok for you or do you want more? I got more but at the end of the day, maybe you ought to just take my word for it.

Sociopathy runs in my family. My dad was scary. Absolutely cold. I don't think he actually cared about anyone and considered most people a nuisance and hindrance.

My dad is a craftsman. Truly skilled at what he does. But, and this is his own admission, he doesn't care about anyone. He's a sociopath. I don't think he's ever cried. His mother never saw him cry. He didn't even cry as a baby. I've seen him laugh but the things he laughs at would make the average person shudder I think. His idea of a good evening would be to sit in a dark living room in a chair for hours on end- and not say a word or move a muscle. Who knows what was going through his mind? 'Do I kill them or just walk out?' He walked out in the end. Good move.

There are some messed up people out there in the world. I know a lot of people have a hard time accepting that but it's true.

I don't care about anybody either. As far as that goes, I'm probably a sociopath too. I don't consider that a bad or a good thing. All I know is if I could make all of you go away, I would. I've known some interesting people in my time, but at the end of the day, I find everybody pretty annoying and would delete the 'interesting' ones as well as the not so interesting ones. I find it interesting that people say they want to be told the truth but when you tell them you're just pretending to like them it upsets them. If you treat them the way you truthfully feel about them, it upsets them even more. I can't win. Better to just fake the funk. It keeps everybody happy. Besides, you've got me outnumbered.

But I do try to stay on the right side of the law- for the most part.
