I'll be radical and say you don't even need be a good person. It's most basic instinct...self preservation. The most self centered motive that exist in this world. <br /><br /> Pointing out that this supposedly great country has not been all that great to some of us is the fastest way to get the willfully blind and contemptuously silent to poke their head out of the mud long enough to bleat out insults, angry accusations and denials. The angrier they are...the longer they bleat...the more chance you have to shove some heavily fertilized truth into their thick skulls. <br /><br />Brandyhttp://killwhitey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509760839117869165.post-24466153429490897132017-08-15T11:05:03.347-07:002017-08-15T11:05:03.347-07:00You may be correct.

I will agree with one point. I do not condemn C.K. for taking a stance, he has that right. As you say, more power to him. Consider it freedom of speech (expression). I, however, have those same rights. And to diminish my right by questioning how I am living, without any investigation on your part, is seriously flawed. Here's why. Your assumption is that C.K. is genuine in his "protest." There are those who believe his motives are far from noble and have more to do with his rapidly declining production on the field and his market value plummeting like an Armageddon-bound meteor. A study of his actions throughout his college and pro career will reveal C.K. is egotistical and self-centered. Do some more research and you will find plenty of examples to back this up. Now, suddenly, as his spotlight dims and he is no longer the center of attention, C.K. "finds a heart" and decides to take a stand. Considering his reputation, it would take much more than one act to convince anyone who truly followed this person to believe he has actually changed. Along with that, as I see it, to say I am living wrong if I disagree with C.K.'s actions, that I question his sincerity based on facts consistent with his previous actions, actually puts you in the exact same boat as those you are condemning.
