My life with Kathy is your basic married couple life. Kathy is retired and writes novels among other things and I am still working. Between our two incomes we manage to pay our bills and our taxes. We talk about finances, we talk about the love we share with one another, we have our ups and downs our laughter and tears together. We support one another whether it be family matters, work troubles or people problems in general and yes we slow dance together in the kitchen or actually any room in the house on occasion.
This is where I don't "get it". They're many people outside of our support network that curse us, that judge us, that call us horrible hateful names and they don't even know who we are and what we are about. People like Phil Robertson, Duck Dynasty, have every right to speak their mind in public, no matter how hurtful it is. The thing is when they speak their truth as they see it and as they've been taught, that comes with a responsibility of the consequences of sharing that truth.
People in our supportive circle always say to me, oh don't worry about them we love ya. Even though I am grateful for their love, that's not the point. These hateful, horrible, disgusting and descriptive words that are used by people like Phil Robertson in public only spawn more people of like minds to speak the same words and all these people speaking these words cause nothing but problems and trouble for people just like Kathy and me trying to live our lives everyday in peace.
Just an observation but if you notice at the end of dynasty, as in Duck Dynasty is the word nasty. Just sayin.
These are my thoughts and feelings from Jillsville.
