Probably because most people who read and disagree with it are idiots... who have computer access. Yeah K and the original Anonymous I'm talking about you.<br /><br />To the blog author 'Mutt' fits very nicely on the continuum described in the original essay. Whether you get pushed into being more wolfish of sheepdogish more than likely depends on your environment, as it does with most other people. <br /><br />It's getting very tedious reading criticisms of this piece that are either not thought out or are simply hypocritical. People cry out when Police use brutality and assume and assert that only sheepdogs will become police and thus it is ‘sheepdogs gone bad’ who are the problem as opposed to wolves in police uniform. I can assure you that a good number of wolves have realised that the position of police officer gives you very great access to the flock. This delusion is almost as stupid as expecting the ranks of politicians to be solely made up of folks who have the best interests of the citizens at heart. Wherever there is power, real or perceived, there will be evil men trying to get their hands on it in order to harm as well as good men who wish to wield it to do good. <br /><br />For people who claim they have a full grasp on the non black or white nature of the world you sure do forget that principle quickly when reading this essay. <br /><br />If you like you can think of the three groups described by Grossman as referring to population means of three different but overlapping groups.<br /><br />If you don't like well then I guess you're also free to bitch ineffectually on the internet some more. Perhaps there's a Wikipedia page somewhere you can check for correct apostrophe usage in order to boost your feelings of intellectual superiority?fluoro ninjanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632928765983902491.post-79060329344019736592010-05-05T22:11:17.070-06:002010-05-05T22:11:17.070-06:00Anonymous and jw: I'll bet you wish that the i...Anonymous and jw: I'll bet you wish that the imaginary scale of your self worth could rival the size of the fake testicles you probably hung up on your pimped out Ford F250s. <br /><br />You can think of yourselves as 'sheepdogs' or 'wolves' or 'sheep' or whatever the fuck other category that makes you sleep better at night; in the end, the people who prosper, and the people who realize what is precious/important in their own lives don't have a NEED to label themselves as a hero. <br /><br />I'm quite certain that around 8th grade, I began to realize that issues in life weren't EVER black and white, as Grossman's essay would have anyone believe. Although he cleverly masquerades this opinion towards the end of the essay. He was also pretty swift with saying that there's nothing wrong with being a "sheep", while subtly degrading them in every successive sentence. <br /><br />When a person can think for themselves and QUESTION THOSE IN "POWER", I consider that a success. <br /><br />People who need an essay about how they are big brave sheepdogs didn't get hugged enough. It's like helping an elderly woman across the street, and then reminding her every day that she wouldn't have made it without you. <br /><br />I'm all for gun rights. But when people carry them around and talk about it, all I can see is the child in them who didn't get enough praise from Daddy. <br /><br />-KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632928765983902491.post-57084067823507221582010-01-07T10:57:39.744-07:002010-01-07T10:57:39.744-07:00Bleet bleet bleet is all I heard....

I thought you might be an unemployeed sheepdog, since you definately aren't in denial with the other sheep, but you didn't even mention a family you would protect, like most hidden sheepdogs. I think you're just a low-level wolf, not dominant enought to initiate the aggression. or maybe you've been castrated by all the societal conditioning you mentioned. <br />you need to ask yourself. what kind of life do you pursue? do you take advantage of others, the sheep, or do you work to improve others. or do you just provide a service. then you might be a mutt.jwnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632928765983902491.post-6519131082766017932009-11-04T09:03:38.483-07:002009-11-04T09:03:38.483-07:00So what you're saying is that you're ignor...So what you're saying is that you're ignorant? It's a shame since all these sheepdogs have fought for your freedom and protected your little fuzzy white ass while you've been asleep. Danger does not present itself momentarily and then disappear, it is a constant state. Stop assuming your ass is safe as long the wolves and sheepdogs are harassing you. The minute the sheepdogs give up on you sheep, then all sheep, including yourself, are going to get skinned and killed. Stop being so ignorant and start appreciating the men and women who have provided you with the comfort and food in which you survive with. You are no mutt, there is no such thing. You are a sheep and the least you could do is be a good sheep and keep your mouth shut.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632928765983902491.post-76211559561921756642009-07-18T20:05:50.896-06:002009-07-18T20:05:50.896-06:00Grigg's been good at reminding us that LIC is ...Grigg's been good at reminding us that LIC is going on and the result for the target is the same.<br /><br />Good work on your lair.
