Blackmoor Vituperative

Here’s a thought for today:

Historically, “who is right?” is usually a rhetorcial question. What matters is who has the power to impose their opinion on others. Being right doesn’t deflect bullets, defend your property, keep your family safe from thieves and cutthroats, or ensure that you can speak your mind and worship or not as you see fit. The people who wrote the Bill Of Rights understood this. It seems that not many people today do.

It does not matter if you are right or wrong, if you can’t prevent people from imposing their opinions on you. For most of human history, it wasn’t even a question worth asking: might made right.

As Ash once said, “Good… bad… I’m the guy with the gun.”
