Chris,
I have seen many of these. It was =
the male
being protective of his female and showing her how much he cares of her
safety.
Not consciously of course. =
The female likes to see her male strong =
in her
defense. This is instinct. Ancient, inherited traits. =
The
female's complains, words, incites the man within, eggs him =
on...
Most fights in a bar, dance hall, =
parties happen in
an instant. Bar owner will tell you that these fights are =
basically
started with the female's "defense". There is an urge to do it, to =
prove
oneself. "Looking for a fight" term is more understandable this =
way.
And there is the other one, when men are proving themselves to each =
other in a
group of two and more, which on there own would never attempt. Not =
mentioning the fact that most people are living under someone else's =
control and
have none for themselves, creating a piled up frustration in =
them, and the
only control they have in their daily life commandeering their car =
around town
and country as they please... Not to mention an unsuccessful life =
loaded
with bills to pay. And watch out for physically unattractive
persons. Their love life could be poor too if their communication =
skills
are low.
Road rage, throwing things, slamming =
doors,
shouting, screaming, blowing up in a cluster of insulting words, is =
just
one way of showing that frustration. Provided that the perceived =
balance
of power permits it. He has to win. He is in a trance of =
which he
can come out in an instant when the balance of power is suddenly and
substantially changed. Hollywood gives us the material, the =
examples, the
criminal education and if that's not enough he will become a graduate =
after
spending time in prison.
Have you ever used your mind to =
think about
the fact that while there is a certain percentage of the population that =
is in
prison or jail, while only a small percentage of criminals are =
apprehended, how
many are than between us that are supposed to be in there and are =
working on
their next assignment, even making a living out of it daily. And I =
don't
even mention now the white collar thieves who bleed you white. All =
those
man who were misled as a child until their mid twenties that their
strength, good looks, their gift in that particular sport, their =
charm and
wits will make a great living without the effort of the hardest thing in =
the
world;doing a university or acquiring a professional education, find =
themselves
on the outer edge of life knowing that they are as smart or smarter than =
the
other guy he knows who is living great. He is frustrated =
too.
Overly dominant bosses, wives will make =
a man
mad. Every day, every minute, every place.
Or have you thought about; how many man =
are
divorced and living a life without their kids but pay a lot for them and =
being
in a fix they can't get out of, =
financially,
mentally. If seventy percent is divorced there are a lot of =
unhappy man
and complaining woman living a miserable life.
And their children are the people of =
our world who
had no love as we knew it, who are looking for something they don't know =
what it
is. They will divorce in an instant. Especially the girls =
who will
not tolerate a man who tells them what to do. (they only doing it =
by
instinct, the way it always was)
The battle of the two genders have =
created a very
unhappy society and it is getting worse very fast. Hollywood will =
speed up
the process. "You aint see nothing yet".
So a financially more civilized Vanagon =
owner will
be looked upon as a failure by the SUV guy who pays $400 a month for his =
make
believe space ship to use it for satisfying his boss to show up at work =
daily
and his need to feel and look good for the outside world. Low =
class have
always tried to make even on the road in a good car. But if you =
would
follow him you would be surprised to see the area he lives. And if =
you
happen to get in his home you would see a war zone littered with junk, =
barely
enough space to walk, dirt, dog poop and hair, cat vomit and poop under =
the
table, no books or bookshelf, but one TV and a couch. Shoes and =
shirt and
pant around, piles of anything all over. In one room there may =
even be a
bike getting fixed the last three years.
And a fat lady will come out of some =
hole
screaming, holding a new baby. And it does not have to be a =
trailer
park. Than the frustrated man jumps up gets in his space ship and =
flies
away to a make believe world where he is the boss and will give you shit =
it you
get in the way with your funny looking Vanagon that he has seen =
somewhere
already.
These are the people we grow now =
here. They
are our product. They are no accidents as divorces and Hollywood =
is not an
accident...
I hope you will not be so surprised =
next time you
sit behind the wheel of your beloved Vanagon that will not be a =
spaceship ever
and will always let you be in command and will serve you faithfully, =
changing no
character, longer than any new wife after new wife.
That's all for today. =
The Vanagon does not make a good =
getaway
car.
