Dear America,
it would be nice, to be in position, to swear off swearing... for quite honestly, it usually falls into the category of a pretty trashy way to talk and get along in this world. [And yeah, call me quite the contrarian to my fellow modern woman, clinging to the petticoats of my Victorian era roots, but this is where girls and boys are different. And I like it. I usually like behaving goodly and like a lady. Hope this doesn't become a crime any time soon,]
Besides...occasionally it's just fun...to drop the f-bomb;
occasionally it adds that perfect punch, to finish a story, tell a joke, or complete the picture;
occasionally it just feels good to let something naughty slip off the tongue in a moment of lively banter, and of course, being well aware of one's audience.
There is that.
Timing might be everything; while the word, itself, might fall suspect... no matter who is saying it or the occasion. Some words should just never be said, whether it is in public, or the privacy of one's home.
AND that word begins with the letter c.
It is a bad, bad word.
And Samantha Bee knows the c-word is a bad, bad word; for if she were to ever be on the receiving end of that word, herself, she, Samantha Bee, would be seething and perfectly peeved wee wee wee all the way home; for there is no comedic relief in the c-word whatsoever.
And yet, it is a free country, and Samantha Bee has a right to say whatever the f*^$^ she wants to say, and I will support her right to say whatever the f*^$ she wants to say until the end of time.
I will also add this little number: like me....pretty darn sure Ivanka Trump would never, ever, never-ever-ever, say the c-word, whether it be face to face, on twitter, over the phone, in an email, for comedic relief, reality show splendor, sit-com filler, alike. Ivanka would simply never go there...because she IS a lady and knows how to behave like a lady, and actually likes -- no loves -- being a lady, like me.
And yet this morning, just wondering if all the liberal ladies think Bee's just being funny...if they all got up this morning, putting their pant legs on one foot in the mouth at a time, and thought, wow, that Samantha Bee...she really put her stinger in it this morning and isn't she something... 'using the C with such glee, that Bee...love that girl...'
Seriously, though. Who thinks that sh*& is funny?
Although equally ugly, I would rather be Valerie Jarrett, on the receiving end of Barr's now infamous tweet going something like this....“muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.” ...then be stung by Bee's capital offense C tweet.
But maybe that's just me.
The thing is --- the words we choose to use carry immense power, to heal or to harm. We learned that as early as kindergarten. The sooner we realize the essential aspects required, in the safekeeping of a civil, cultured, compassionate, and courteous society, the better WE, the people, will all BE, and that goes out especially to both Bee and Barr.
To raise the consciousness and consideration of all, truly begins with each and every one of us to begin as individuals; perhaps, in some warped way, Samantha Bee and Roseanne Barr are simply leading the way.
And yet, isn't it a sad day for America.... to find ourselves so consumed by the he-said, she-said, Bee said, Barr said, tabloid level, sensationalized system of news-telling. Perhaps Trump should follow up his latest embargo taxation across the EU and Mexico, with a tax on the use of social media for the sole purposes of making gossip and perpetuating nonsense....like Uganda. teehee [question is, would the president really be in favor of the censorship, complete with financial penalties, of one of his favorite tools??]
This morning, this girl is just looking for the real ladies and gentlemen to show the world how its done, that's all. [Ladies like Ivanka, for one...] Is that too much to ask? Would not our time be better spent developing a more cultivated society, one that spoke with a certain grace and moved with a common elegance, being educated, polite, and upstanding in every possible way? How lovely and divine does that sound?
Oh Pollyanna, have you met G?
If nothing else, I wanna be a lady.
I just find it remarkable that grown adults are discussing c-words and tweets as if they speak volumes, yet all the while totally missing the point. Instead of revealing our class, we seem completely amused by our crass, and that, in and of itself, is profoundly heartbreaking.
We should know better than to give this kind of crap any attention....and yet, here I am, repeating the nonsense, highlighting the low-lights, re-telling the story all over again like all the other broken records, tweeters, bloggers, journalists, reporters, partisans, left and right. Might as well just shoot us all.
But this, apparently, is our reality these days; and this is just the day it's gonna be, here on G...right, Bee and barring no one?
All in all ....
It's just one day.
It's just one day in the life.
May we learn from the error of our ways...
and may tomorrow be better in more ways than one.
Make it a Good Day, G
