I Believe... [Small Town Tenacity]

By Don Hall

...that the creation of a makeshift Fortress of Solitude or Batcave is an essential necessity whether you have superpowers or not. And neither Clark Kent nor Bruce Wayne would allow social media to encroach.

...that if men and transgender women are allowed in women’s bathrooms, the ladies will have to find another place to plot dark revenge for mainsplaining and receiving compliments about their hair.

...that it says a lot about my state of mind when, at a time of Russian invasion, Chinese balloons, melting glaciers, and mass shootings run amok, the thing I fear most is a hot, tattooed woman who reminds me of my ex-wife.

...that irony is most prevalent when someone lectures me about the damages to my health due to smoking while slowly eating a bag of Doritos and drinking a 32 oz. bucket of Mountain Dew.

...that there are few things in society as pernicious and unrelenting as a tiny rural town in pursuit of a traffic fine. If the IRS had these hayseeds in charge of cracking down on corporations and billionaires, there would be no American debt crisis.
