Yesterday's postings, especially http://theweathercontinues.blogspot.mx/2015/05/massive-north-carolina-is-our-selma.html, got hundreds and hundreds of hits last night -- beginning about an hour after I emailed the North Carolina NAACP -- and sent out that material to Thomas S. Kenan III and all the Trustees at UNC Chapel Hill!!!
But there is ONE THING I still need to clear up from a couple of days ago about my "strange" reaction to Bob Jones and my writing about Mike Malikowski -- their stories illustrate how inside-out American Thinking has become, but in different ways.
Mike is easiest to deal with, because it's just a "numbers game". I like to go back to the original Kinsey Report on Sexuality in the USA (about 1948), for two reasons: it was taken before the Religious Right got all excited about everyone's sex life, so people were more comfortable being honest, and it reports on behaviors -- rather than just who should be called straight, homosexual, or bisexual.
In that report, 58% of adult men reported they had had sex to orgasm with another man at least once -- as an adult. So the FACT IS, when one sees an American Man, one could ASSUME he has had sex with a man at least once. That is what American Men DO!!!
And Mike, in 1969, just sort of put his groin nearly into my face while wearing only white briefs -- but his mother called everyone to dinner over the intercom, and that was that -- NOTHING THEN OR LATER HAPPENED.
Most guys have had this or sexier experiences, so it only proves that Mike is NORMAL. He's been married for years now and has several children -- as well as being a GREAT PROVIDER. I really was shocked to see how giant a house he owns and how lovely the pool (at least from satellite views)!!!
Bob Jones's pool is not nearly so fancy!!!
Bob had gotten involved in drug dealing in the mid-1970s. I suspect he didn't want to be seen on this blog because "old contacts" might catch up to him and harass him -- but it's been nearly 40 years since then, so highly unlikely!!!
Today, he's been married with family for years as well -- and highly successful in a sales career.
BUT THIS IS WHAT IS IMPORTANT ABOUT BOTH:
The big FEAR is of disclosure in the USA of LONG AGO "indiscretions" -- even "YOUTHFUL INDISCRETIONS". Mike is just normal, so nothing more to say there, but BOTH of these guys would suffer HUGELY in a society that since the late 1970s has kept so much track of individuals -- and ALL "indiscretions" are seen as ways to DISENFRANCHISE individuals from rights and especially JOBS.
Current American Society makes PARIAHS of anyone who is different -- whether in job-track or personality -- and is UNFORGIVING of the past, LOCKING people into the "Underclass" -- whether criminal (which it usually must be), or not!!!
PERFECT ANTI-CHRISTIANITY!!! NO FORGIVENESS!!!
After missing a few months of work in 1978 due to being "crazy" and then nut-house-committed, I REALLY came up with a story to try to justify being out of work more than a couple of weeks, and got a good job -- but I could NOT do that today!!!
Bob Jones is a MODEL for getting one's life back in order -- and he ought to be lecturing to YOUTH GROUPS about that -- not fearing disclosure!!!
