Take SEATS!!! Have you ever heard the saying,"The inmates are running
the asylum?" Anyone who has been here since this training began SHOULD
have heard it, from ME, unless it was a guest class I gave, in another
venue.
Anyway, hold onto your seats! I WAS WRONG!!! To the inmates, my humble
apologies. You AIN'T runnin' the asylum, I don't believe you could
screw things up THIS BADLY!!!
I'm sure everyone has heard about the twit female reporter who walked
into a male locker room, advertising her femaleness & was traumatized,
when the guys showed their appreciation for her displayed "charms".
While I am a firm believer that no mode of dress (or undress)
justifies unwanted physical contact, I believe (with equal conviction)
that anyone who puts their assets on display invites critique!
Had that same woman (attired for BUSINESS, which is what a reporter is
SUPPOSED to be doing, in a locker room) gone into that room, with a
bunch of "pumped up" guys and conducted herself as a PROFESSIONAL, I
would have expected a different outcome, even though I believe that
the very idea that she was able to invade their privacy, in this
manner, is STUPID!!!
If there was a concern about male reporters having an "advantage", by
having access to the players, in the locker room, the better solution
would have been to bar ALL access & arrange a time, b-4 or after
showers, outside the locker room, where all reporters could have equal
access.
Now for the $64,000 question: Do male reporters have equal access to
FEMALE athletes, in their locker rooms. If not, I may begin a sports
column so that I can file a sexual discrimination suit & we can see
how quickly "now" & the other "feminist" organizations show their
dedication, not to equality, but to female privilege.
I have been irritated, for a long time, at the arrogance and hypocrisy
of women who dress in a provocative manner & then, when a guy looks
at them, they scream "pervert" or "sexual harassment".
Next bit of insanity. I am glad that the jury dismissed the suit filed
by the young woman (won't say lady) who spewed her venom on her
"Facebook" page & was offended (& claimed harrassment) when it was
published in the local paper.
As some one else commented, "That's why they call it the "World Wide
Web". I, fully, expect that my comments will be read by people who
disagree with me. I HOPE they will (as one of my "major malfunctions"
is that of instructor & hope that they may learn something) & am,
fully, prepared to deal with any criticism.
I have, in fact, been criticized for some of my positions & answered
the criticism.
Bottom line, "Put up or shut up." If you can't deal with public
response, to public statements, DON'T MAKE public statements. Vent to
your diary & GET OVER IT!!!
I, recently, provided sound system & some D.J. services to a wedding
party, at the "River Ridge" Ranch, in Springville, Calif. The facility
& the staff were GRRREEAAT!!! Any of my Troops who plan an event that
could be held outdoors, other than a bivouac, would do well to contact
these folks.
The gentleman with whom I worked is Gary & I give staff & the facility
an A+ rating, inspection & performance-wise.
There was something else nagging at me (no not the "Li'l Corporal")
but I hear the dogs barking, so better do a perimeter check.
God bless y'all & all of our guardians, wherever & however they serve.
May God grant them
a quiet shift/tour & take them home, safely & God bless America!!! HOOAAHH!!!
Dis-MISSED!!! Sgt. Mack, out. Leaving the air & closing station
