i used to shoot regularly out on long island. once, a feller out there struck up a conversation about EBRs, and he came around to saying the words "i hope they don't decide to take these away from us." i grinned and replied "not mine," emulating a friend back home that once put it into perspective for me, "they'll never take this one."
that was what, just prior, looked like a grown man that had said those words to me. perhaps a decade my elder. but i guess i grew up a lot that day.
anyone that gets out of there on the day the hammer comes down should be praised for making it out at all. you can't fault a lesser man for what he is when it's all he ever knew he could be.
