Certainly real soul searching thought provoking message. The problem is that the human species for some reason views the “outlaw” image as masculine, although in reality they are outright society menaces!
When I was in college, the conversation turned to Bonnie and Clyde. A girl who rarely spoke said, "They killed my grandfather. They weren't cool." That ended that.
Where I live, the Jameses are still celebrated. I loved the scene in the re-make of True Grit when Mattie calls them trash. Yep.
I’ve never been sure why Americans seem to look up to the flashy, fly-by-night people, but never the persistent, careful handlers of the tasks that do accomplish good things. Thanks for this - very thought-provoking!
Thank you for your continued message. We need to refocus our attention. It reminds me of my aussie when she was a puppy and acted obnoxious or nipped and bit. The trainer said she wants your attention. Don't do it. Withdraw your hands, turn your back ( no eye contact), do not speak. She said she'll get the message it's unacceptable and you won't give her the attention. When she settles, turn, make eye contact, praise and treat. Maybe we can use some of this training.
The American versions of racism, sexism, classism, inequality and other human ills are just different flavors of fear and violence that often overwhelm humanity.

All true. As a culture we do love the flash, we marginalize the nerds.
Way past time to flip the switch.
Thank god for nerds. No one on the Sopranos found a cure for cancer. Or tried to.
Nerds do the work
Remember Robin Hood of British mythistory?
He was a robber who did good.
There are many more.
Americans are not as special as we think we are.
