Dear Maribel,
If it one thing I'm am sad to have learned, it's that not everyone is equal. I mean we are all born equal, and have somewhat equal potential, but not all of us remain equal. At some point, some people make the conscious decision to become assholes. Now I'm not saying this to be one myself, but people who lack patience, common courtesy, and openhandedness are not equal decent human beings. For those who doubt me, drive on the Southern State Parkway between the hours of 3pm-5pm; spill a drink on someone in a bar, or just offer somebody a harmless compliment. The assholes seem to always show themselves.
I am all about education. I think everybody has a potential to learn and become upstanding human beings: but some just don't, and people need to accept that. Being educators is not an excuse to pardon the American Asshole's behavior; they really need to be put in their places from time to time. I all about doing so. I'm glad you told that asshole at Barnes and Noble off. To let him get away with speaking that way to people is ridiculous. More people should speak out against the asshole, since trying to better educate them seems to be in vain. I think some major place-putting is in order. I think about how many assholes seem to go unchecked in my own, daily life. They act out, and I usually go home and cyber-bully them, but say nothing. This must change (despite my fondness of cyber-bullying people who deserve it). People need to be held accountable for their behavior-- end of story.
