We are all
of the same mentality, and the fact is we do get use to our own stink.
When we
first got to Alaska my wife and I both smoked.
The Native kids would come over to the house and tell us ‘your house
stinks.’ Native kids are refreshingly
unabashed - they say what they think.
Our house
was always clean, and at first we were somewhat resentful; because when we
visited the Native houses there would be dried, smoked salmon on the counter, a
chunk of moose quarter sitting on the floor in a cold corner of the room and
perhaps muskrats being skinned in a tub in the kitchen floor.
It is the
same thing in politics: our own opinions are reasonable and everybody who
doesn’t agree with us is actually stupid or else conniving – looking out for
themselves at the expense of others.
So where
does that leave us?
I actually
do believe that most people that vote Republican are on the down side of the IQ
scale – or looking out for their own personal interest at the expense of others.
I know that
what I think is true, because my shit doesn’t stink as much as everybody
else’s.
