These are supposed to be smart people, yet they have made the greatest and gravest of mistakes with me. I am unable to believe that because I did not give people the reaction or dialogue they wanted that I failed. The mistake is theirs alone. I am unable to believe that because I have more than once diffused an extremely volatile happening while being watched that I failed.
These are supposed to be smart people. I have more than once spoken of the need to overhaul the military, its culture, its governing practices, and ideology. More than once. Decades ago, I knew it was far behind the times to place our nation in its rightful position. Decades ago. As I see it there is still a need, it is still lacking.
Partially it is a regional problem. A thinking, a culture that has yet to get with the program, in a matter of speaking. The days of being regional have been changed with the internet. Allowances made because of acceptance of thinking rather than correcting the thinking and disallowing it to continue.
An example, my Creative Writing teacher in college – whether it is real or not or merely trying to see a reaction I am uncertain; however, this is true – told me she was astonished – not the exact word – at how quickly my writing had improved from the first assignment to the next. There is nothing wrong with that. It has to do with exposure. Because they failed to understand that mind’s like mine worked in such a manner. It is not a typical academic mind. No, I cannot give them any credit. They knew better and did nothing to prevent certain people. They knew otherwise.
These are supposed to be smart people, yet they have let their ideology become greater.
They are wrong.
They are out of excuses with me anymore.
