This is Why We Fight

No Jews Allowed.
No Blacks Allowed.
No Irish Allowed.
No Italians.
No Indians Ever Allowed.
We’re whitewashing history, but you’ve seen the signs.
Or black and white pictures at least.
If you haven’t, it’s because you’re not looking.
Not seeing what’s in front of you.
Ignoring facts.
We are good at it.
Better than almost anything else in the world.
We ignore facts.
Because of…
Feelings.
I lived it yesterday.
Two of us reading the contract.
The other guy had a “feeling” it meant something other than what it actually stated.
And he dug in his heels.
Stood his ground.
He was wrong and that was the hill he chose to die on.
Because of…
Feelings.
Logic didn’t work.
Reason didn’t apply.
Hell, the actual language didn’t work.
