I Believe... [It Ain't Cultural]

...that self discipline is a 24-hour proposition rather than a sometimes goal.

...that in the din and chaos of the moment all it it takes is one person with which you share mutual respect to keep things on course.

...that if you give a group of teenage beauty queens an opportunity to trash a brand new RV they will cover the inside with half eaten tacos and glitter.

...that the excuse for one’s poor behavior “it’s a cultural thing” is its own form of casual racism—being on time, respecting the time of others, and functioning for the benefit of the whole have nothing to do with culture.

...that no one wants to be the beat up, saggy burger you actually receive at the counter yet most of us are. Thus is the ugly truth hidden behind filters, social media, and plastic surgery.
