Are we now going to have to monitor the amount of pressure on the hand during handshakes? How do we do that? Will there be handshake lawyers? Is there any limit to the neurosis that we Americans are afflicted with?
Right on! I have what could be described as a “firm” handshake. It is not my intent to intimidate anyone. What I’m saying is that I’m a confident and direct person. In my 67 years of life experience I’ve found, for the most part, that people with weak handshakes are................weak. I’ve also observed that people with weak handshakes tend to be leery of people with firm handshakes. One could make the argument that the weak hand shaker is intimidated by the firm hand shaker. But in my experience weak hand shakers who, generally rely on deceit to get ahead, know the firm hand shaker will be a threat to their deceit.
Suing a firm hand-shaker is right up there with suing the provider of hot coffee because you put the cup between your legs and spilled it. Or remember when in NY during a Lazio/Hillery debate, the media screamed that Lazio “assaulted” Hillery when he “invaded” her debate space to hand her a piece of paper. Right up to that point the media was extolling Hillery as being the strongest woman in the world. Suddenly she’s the weaker sex being assaulted by the brutish male.
If you’re a Marxist everything is political—even the weather. And it matters not if what you say now conflicts with something you said ten minutes ago. The point is. you believe every lie you tell at the time you say it. The words logic and consistency are as alien to Marxists as living on the sun is to man.
