I am left handed and have known for a long time that certain things are made to favor right-handed people, because there are many more right-handed than left-handed people. But I don’t whine and complain. I have learned to deal with it. Who the f*%# cares except whiney complaining immature people.

Remember that song by Randy Newman "Short People"?

"Short people got no reason

Short people got no reason

Short people got no reason

To live

They got little hands

And little eyes

And they walk around

Tellin' great big lies

They got little noses

And tiny little teeth

They wear platform shoes

On their nasty little feet"

Ha ha, I'm a short person and I gotta tell you, I always liked being petite even if it is kinda inconvenient - at concerts and sports events and reaching high shelves. Today, he would be so cancelled, wouldn't he? The cancel crowd would completely ignore that the bridge of the song is

"short people are just the same

As you and I

(A fool such as I)

All men are brothers

Until the day they die

(It's a wonderful world)"

The article says it is not a parody.

But it IS a parody.

The activists just don't recognize it. They are reduced to self-parody.

My ancestors are from Norway. I am shocked at how many Americans don't speak Norwegian and totally disregard Norwegian culture. Including me.

I for one, admit my privilege. I am privileged to be an American citizen, with all the rights and privileges that confers upon me and every single citizen, and a hell of a lot of non-citizens in this country. I freely admit my bias for my privilege, and my gratitude. There are no victims in the USA (except the Americans being held in captivity by our rogue government for actions taken on Jan. 6th that were completely and legally their right to take) - just ungrateful losers and complainers who, because of the freedom they enjoy, choose to abuse it and all of us who happen to appreciate who we are.

Oh, and Kyle Rittenhouse - he's legitimately a victim, also.

The Kyle Rittenhouse case is obviously self-defense that he shouldn't even be on trial.

What is being done to that young man is perfidy beyond belief. He is being politically persecuted and deprived of his freedom in plain and open view - the entities behind his persecution need be investigated and prosecuted, right after Kyle is released and receives millions in restitution. John, have you written anything on Kyle or do you intend to?

I have only tweeted about him. I was going to raise money for him right after this happened, like I did for Kavanaugh, but Lin Wood started a prominent campaign first.

Sorry, I misused the word perfidy - doesn't quite fit in this context. Disgusting, deplorable, dishonorable, atrocious, abominable, dreadful, painful, terrible, unspeakable, dire, horrendous, and horrific are a few of the words that apply.

I wonder, how many people here have been confronted by their own, biological parents who demanded to know what "I was going to do about my "white privilege?" The insanity of the Left is all-encompassing, and knows no boundaries of logic or hypocracy.

I married a black woman. She had to go to a bit of effort to find a hairdresser. Wow, that's too bad. That's what happens when you're a minority. Are we supposed to have just as many hairdressers for the 13% of Americans who are black as we do for the 62% of Americans who are white? Who will pay for that? Are white people supposed to subsidize black hairdressers just so black people don't have to drive a little farther to get their hair done? Indian Americans (i.e. from India) are 1% of the population. Should there be a law requiring that there be as many Indian hairdressers as their are white hairdressers? Subsidized by white people, so the Indian hairdressers can sit around doing nothing all day because they only have a fraction as many customers?

And of course this wouldn't be limited to just hairdressers. Lots more Americans like to play the guitar than play the cello. Should music stores be required to stock as many cellos as guitars so cello-lovers have just as many choices? Etc.
