Just play turtle. Pull the tender parts into the shell for a bit if things get nasty, then move along right smartly when they look away, or just any old time you want.

Apologies for dwelling on the nonsense-details, mebbe it’ll help explain some things. Also, heavy-duty history in horse training and university-level background aimed at animal behavior, yes, inevitably including humans. It colors everything I see and do. I firmly believe in the worth of trying to walk in the other guy’s moccasins to gain understanding. I desperately want peace and harmony in the world; a clean healthy, thriving world with plenty wilderness preservation; contageous spread of kindness wouldn’t hurt either; mutual respect and acceptance of our differences; all that good stuff.

Cruelty, greed, mean-spiritedness, such as displayed and reported about the likes of junior & deadeye, & their enablers. Those things set me off like a rocket.

I am stubborn enough that I will not stop working within this framework, however it evolves, for the rest of my time on this fragile, abused planet.

Okay. Your turn! *g*
