Big Girl lived downstairs from me years ago and I would run aground of her sometimes. Talking the political talk, she relayed to me her radical thoughts in a very thorough and hand-talkin' way. She was spitting. She was passionate in her views and I see those views sometimes. I don't know that I believe them because it is seems so unreal, but sometimes I see them :
Big girl believed that there are Those with an agenda. Those are weakening our education system, our unions, our wages, and so forth. You know, the social structures that have been in place in this country to better our humanity; the good stuff. Big Girl believed it was a concerted effort of epic proportions on the part of Those. She believed one of the reasons for this was to make the military more attractive and all the other cynical pops we have heard forever since. It was the first time I had heard a view different than that of my peer group, and it has set me apart from them. I became more rebellious.
I don't know what Those are up to, but anything that is "kept mostly secret" needs to looked at under the magnifying glass. You know there is more there and I think everyone should be reminded to - look sharp! I am going to start to bring it up in every conversation I have in one way or another.
It intrigues me and i want to be a detective, or maybe a spy.
