Maybe I'd better just shut up. lol.
No, please don't.
I have to confess that I shouldn't have tried to make a point using your comments as an example and I offer my sincere apologies.
You were just thinking like a guy. And I was just thinking like a woman.
When I saw it from your perspective, yikes! I can’t believe I said that. lol.
Maybe the point of the kerfuffle with Akin is that we need to be aware of how another person’s perspective might frame what we say. The dem saboteurs are deliberately taking Akin’s words out of context and trying to cause hurt, which is what I’ve been responding to, because it seems like R’s and conservatives have jumped right on that bandwagon too. But women who have already been hurt by a society that doesn’t know what they’ve been through have a special reason for thinking like a woman, and an honorable man should sincerely express sorrow for having hurt them.
Maybe that is what the circular firing squad is trying to communicate. Which is a valid point even if they are totally political and self-serving in their reasons for trying to communicate anything. I guess I was responding to what I believed were selfish and short-sighted motivations on the part of the circular firing squad.
The people in the middle of that circle are the victims of “legitimate rape”, and a piece of them is torn out with each bullet shot across the circle. And that makes me sad. Seems like we could stop firing long enough to bind their wounds and usher them out of the way so they aren’t hurt any more. Or even better, just stop the circular firing altogether...
