BURIED STORIES, EXPRESSIONS OF HOPE

News hounds dig for the buried stories that explain everything. Sometimes it works better than others.

They find diamonds in the rough, clean them up, and exhibit them.

Where’s that buried story dog in Oregon?

Asking for readers from the Top Ten states on boomerpdx overnight: Oregon, California, Washington, followed by Texas, New York, Florida, then Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, and North Carolina.

For the buried stories archive:

Imagine men who talk the talk, and walk the walk, in public. Why would they do that? Because they are sensitive to the environment around them. Maybe even over-sensitive.

They have a certain understanding, maybe a solution to problems, and want to share.

It’s bold and daring to express things others stay silent about. I know people like that, you know people like that.

You might be one of them?

However, expressing feelings of concern, or any feelings besides anger and resentment, is a challenge for men who learned that being sensitive and empathetic brands them a pussy, a pansy, a sissy.

Men who learned to compete for every breath, every heartbeat, men who believe that someone, somewhere, is stealing their air, are angry. Their rally cry echoes around the gun store: “Not on my watch.”

Staying angry proves they’re not embarrassed momma’s boys when they hang with their angry dude friends, or when they take a night ride to the neighbor’s property and tear up Joe Biden banners.

If you hear the words ‘sensitive men’ and ‘near Portland’, do you think of the ongoing Portland protest against police brutality in support of Black Lives Matter?

Or, do you think of frightened men who live out of town for protection against the invasion force of liberal women.

Patron Saint John Wayne would say, “Leave that unmanly jackassery to others, Pilgrim. Punching down in the dark is the worst kind of candy-ass.”

For a woman it’s different? 

When women step up, some men feel free to threaten, denigrate, and verbally abuse them. Poor behavior didn’t suddenly show up four years ago with Mr. Trump, but he gets mentions.

Women with conflict experience shine like diamonds when they deal with those men.

The problems start when adults whip out their pocket constitution and interpret law for other adults. By their actions, constitutional rights in rural Oregon come under their jurisdiction.

Hang banners on a horse fence for Joe Biden, Vote For Joe Biden, Biden/Harris2020? Hold on a minute there, little lady. 

They got torn down at night by neighbors, put back up with a light overhead, then torn down again.

Every time the banners came down, two more went up. And two more. And two more.

This is the math learning curve in action. Adding Joe Biden is plus.

What do you do to help? Try and do it better.
