The problem in this country is that all the privileged people are them, and all the underprivileged are every one that's not you, or so it seems.
Am I privileged???
In quite a few ways, so a big YES to that question.
I have 2 good arms that I can work with.
A decent enough mind to know when to get into trouble and who to get in trouble with.
A strong enough heart to walk you to your car or hold a door open for you, even though you look at me like I should, every now and then I get the one that privileges me with a thanks
I have food and water and a roof like thing over my head.
I've got the internet.
I have the ability to give up a couple of meals in trade of some weird, distraction, or diversion or enjoyable interaction.
I'm in better shape at 50 than I was at 25.
I have the ability to accept the speeding ticket (I deserve)(for getting caught and the speeding
) In as much an hospitable way as possible. (not the Boris and Natasha ability to put you in hospital way, but the polite way)
and I have the privilege to live in a country where it's a right to speak out against my mismanaged government, until I actually do, then I'm a subversive with no rights.
but that's cool, I'll just keep my mouth shut, oh wait, won't that then make me one of those quiet guys?????
or maybe I'll just go play hockey and have the privilege of getting hit by a little hard rubber disc, traveling at speeds of 20 to 70 miles an hour, repeatedly, hell you can hit me with that ---- all night long .
I like coming home looking like I had sex on a stack of Rorschach Tests. (that's funny cause I actually like girls that would have Rorschach tests, and know how to use them. )
