Headline: "The word 'cowboy' is now equivalent to genocide."
I don't have decent words to reject the foolishness anymore; maybe none of us do. Harder words might follow, or harder acts. In general I prefer violence to discourtesy: one might have adequate reason to kill a man without wishing to insult him.
I guess they don't get that. It's a hard road they're mapping out for themselves.

Unfortunately the word "wicked" seems to have lost some of its edge these days. Some folks think it something to boast of.
You should watch that movie I was just talking about.

ReplyDeleteI just added that to my collection of quotes. Thanks, Grim.
Thanks for this- I am anticipating listening to the Ian Tyson tribute- I had no idea of anything about him save a few 1960's folk songs- "Summer Wages" always spoke to me, having spent a lot of time in my late teens and 20's in various fishing ports and logging towns in the Pacific northwest. In a time when one would not be ashamed to say they were from Seattle.
ReplyDeleteWhat movie was that, Grim?
ReplyDelete"Bad Times at the El Royale," Mr. Harman.
