We are in trouble, as a nation, as a culture, as a people.  And when I say people I mean all of us that have lived here in America for more than one generation.

A strong society is held together by common interest.  There is a "glue" that binds a group of people together.  There is a group identity in a strong society.

When I watch the Travel Channel the so called "primitives" walk around with their dicks bound up, titties hanging to their navels and asses out.  Some may think that they are backward.  Not me.  I envy them.  The naked savages are all pretty much on the same cultural page.

The men have real skills; they make weapons, they hunt, they build their own houses, they fight in an organized manner that does not get too many of the killed, they drink together, they hang out in groups.  There is an alpha male, an elder that was once the alpha male, and the younger men are constantly vying to be the alpha male which keeps every one in the collective sharp.

All the women know how to prepare food, they make their own clothes, they grow their own food, they build their own homes. They take care of their own children.  They manage the men.

At some point, the little boys leave their momma's side and hang out with the men.  When the boys figure out how to hunt and build and make their own weapons they are declared men in a rite of passage.

They may be naked and live on the land but they know who they are and their lives are part of a meaningful collective.  They don't have high crime rates and sexual predators.  They've draw a line in the sand and have zero tolerance for deviance.

Left Or Right Of Center, Just Because

Western society if it can indeed be called society has shifted dramatically in the last 5 or 6 decades.  Deviance has become the rule rather than the exception.

When I started driving, no one ran red lights and children weren't raised exclusively by their grandmothers.  Men, for the most part had sex with women and most of us lived in a house with our fathers and had their last names.

Nowadays, women want to fight you if you tell them that a woman cannot raise a male child without a man's help.  And as much as they want to believe they can they cannot because mostly they raise sissies that stand around in groups of 3 & 4 at parties sipping Chardonnay while discussing the best place to get a haircut and a manicure while the women sit around them staring in their faces with "Come over here and fuck me, you fool" looks in their eyes. The men ignore the women because some of them will be getting together later that evening for more discreet fluid exchanges with the other sissies and the rest well they prefer to get a good night's sleep as opposed to engaging in a brutal all nighter with an appreciative lover.

I was at a restaurant downtown about a month ago.  It was very crowded, so I was forced to sit at the bar next to 3 thirty-something black "men" who were drinking (guess what) Chardonnay and chain smoking cigarettes.  The chubby one with sunglasses on was almost screaming as s/he spoke.  It was loud in the crowded place but his voice was 2 octaves higher than any other man's voice around us.  I tried to stay out of their convo but I kept hearing stuff like "fucked him in the ass" and "cumming in his mouth" and every third sentence began with "Dat muthafucka" or "Dat BITCH!!!' that was falling from the lips of Chubbetta.

At one point, Chubbetta made an extremely abrasive comment.  As the child of social Nazis, I could not help but look him in the eyes in order to register my disapproval.  Chubbetta initially decided to challenge my stare. The challenge lasted for about 5 seconds, then he averted his gaze and dropped his head because irrespective of all of the new deviant social rules there are some long standing ordinances that are as old as men standing upright.  He complied and dropped his challenge to my alpha daddy move.  Chubbetta got even smarter and lowered his voice.

Now before you dykes and fags get up in arms about my statements, let me declare that I have some friends that are homosexual and I respect anyone’s right to do whatever one pleases BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WITH THE SHADES DRAWN.  I have a problem however with any overt display of sexual conduct verbal or mechanical.  When some flamer is sitting next to me screaming "SOMEBODY PLEASE STEP TO ME SO I CAN SUCK YOUR DICK", I have a problem with that.  Despite what we were as a society fifty years ago, we were much more polite and a lot more discreet.  No one was trying to expose their sordid lives on reality television or be provocative in front of the paparazzi or in mixed company (that be men and women), in public.  We kept our perversions to ourselves.

Discretion Before Valor

All my friends, gay and "straight", are pretty macho.  It is something we learned from our fathers at home and from tough guys like Rock Hudson on the screen.  We are also polite because we are so self assured.  We learned at an early age that its best to keep your personal bizness to yourself. Conversely, we also learned that it's better to front a little for the sake of the greater good.  None of my gay friends have ever admitted they were exclusively homosexual and none of my straight friends have ever stood up and declared that they were exclusively heterosexual.  We talk about women all the time but we never discuss particulars.  We were all raised in a culture that demanded that one be discreet as often as it was practical.

To Hype Or Not To Hype. That Is The Predicament

Most cultural stereotypes are based on hype.  Black men are the ultimate lovers.  Women are sensitive.  All babies are cute. None of those statement apply to all of those people all of the time but some fool will argue the case for each of those "truisms" with heroic conviction.

Historical revisionist have psyched everyone into believing that damn near everything of importance was thought up by some European, for the past 800 years or so.  If they are 5 white men and a brotha in a lineup who are most people gonna say is the criminal or the one most likely to commit a crime?  Perceptions over reality govern people's actions almost all of the time.

People should be able to do what they please as long as other people are not destroyed by their actions.  Indiscriminate actions without thinking through the consequence of one's actions has become quite trendy.  "If it feels good do it!" has become entrenched in the collective psyche's of the masses.  There is no more delayed gratification. Easy credit changed all that. Financial bankruptcies may inadvertently save western culture.

If you want to save yourself: stop watching television and watch your mouth in public or some social Nazi might grab you and wash your mouth out with soap.
