Escalating Violence @ New Normal Protests

[Wallfire]

Many many years ago I got me a pair of scissors, and God have I paid a high high price for cutting the strings and not dancing to the puppeteers tune

Yeah, I did that too, probably a long time before you. I was never a rebellious child, just a very inquisitive one. Some old ways die hard, and some don't die until you do.

The problem is the phantom effect. Like an amputation of a limb, when you aren't focused, you forget the limb is no longer there. You find yourself automatically doing things they way you did before the amputation. Unfortunately,  you find yourself falling on your face or behind, after you experienced the slip.

You still have strings, read what you wrote . Its not important to me who is better than who, its the ability to run and spin round with no strings to tangle that I enjoy.

@Wallfire, that one huge bug in this type of communication. 

I was not attempting to compete with you, nor was I trying to appear better than you. I was pointing out that I was "older" than you, and have seen over the years that old behaviors die hard, even when you have cut yourselves off of them.

I will admit that at times I can see the nubs of the strings that I cut, and for the sake of honesty, there may be even be a few that I missed.

I wonder how you guess how old I am, lets put it like this, im old enough to have been in the Vietnam war if I had lived in the USA
