Bullying is in. We are seeing more and more stories about this unsettling phenomenon in our daily news reports.
When we were coming up it was Butch and he was king of the recess period. He was feared. He was avoided. He was followed around by his “friends” as he hurried about the school yard performing his daily task of making the rest of us hide and scurry away from him.
Regarding his “friends” mentioned above. They were not real friends in the truest sense of the word. They aligned themselves with him in order to avoid the shame of having to become Scurriers and Hiders themselves.
Now my newspaper tells me about a new type of bullying victim I thought I would never see. The newest victim is an NFL Football Player. This shows how far the Art of Bullying has progressed since Butch’s reign of terror at St. Anthony of Padua in the 1950s.
I personally think this is an impossibility. I do not think it is physically possible to bully a person who weighs 312 pounds and stands 6’ 5” tall but that’s what we are being asked to believe has happened to a certain Miami Dolphin Football Player.
If you read my blogging on a regular basis you know I do not have much respect for our News Media. This proves that it does not have any respect for us. They think we will believe anything.
Next thing we know they will be telling us that the manufacture of Food Asbestos is not the largest industry in China.
Would I kid u?
