If you always do what you always did, you'll always be what you always were!!

Something to think about.

After the Boston bombing the news media has spent days and weeks trying to determine why these men did what they did. They want to know what America did to make these brothers so angry with us. They want to know why these men were not arrested before they did something so terrible. The media is in a tizzy about this new era of home grown radicals, and about why they
could live among us and still hate us.

A friend of mine from Texas explained it all to me:

"Here in west Texas I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway. In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter.

I kill rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject me with poison. I don't stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me; I know: It will bite me because it's a rattlesnake and that's what rattlesnakes do. I don't try to reason with a rattlesnake.I just kill it.

I don't try to get to know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me.I just kill them. I don't quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other snakes are, because (a) it won't tell me, and (b) I already know they live on my place. So, I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.

I don't look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous rat snake...I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion, I
accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know, for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are lurking out there in the brush. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes. Do I fear them? No!

Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes! And because of that respect I give them the fair justice they deserve...I kill them...."

Maybe as a country we should start giving more thought to the fact that these jihadists' are just being like rattlesnakes, and act accordingly!

In God We Trust!

Maybe we can convince the rattlesnakes to shelter in place.

Rattlesnake Jihad would be a great name for a band.

Good idea.
So... we should kill every single person on the planet, since they all have the potential of becoming a terrorist.

Since this is your idea, I expect you to start first. Kill everyone in your town, then yourself. I'll make sure everyone follows suit, and after a successful execution by everyone else, I'll off myself. Pinky-swear.

Better to act accordingly not only to the rattlesnakes but also the friends, enablers, and apologists of rattlesnakes as well.

Ummm guys? It's been like 48 hours... I still haven't heard anything on the news about any hard-asses killing everyone in their town. Hell, I haven't even heard anything about anyone just killing the brown people in their town.

Why is that?

There's no way that this was all just bravado and talk is it? Don't disappoint me like this.

Nut up and get to work. Don't forget the children too!!! 🙂

Most people who get bitten by rattlesnakes, get bitten while trying to kill them, and would have been safe for leaving them alone.

This fact does not support the analogy. I'm just sayin'.

I think Victor is just upset because he's joined one of those churches where they dance around with poisonous snakes.
