In an earlier post I talk about working the Plymouth County Fair. My goal with that Fair and all the others that I go to, is to TRY to bring awareness about health. It seems to be a losing proposition and in the weeks ahead will decide whether to continue to TRY or just bag it and let the people find out for themselves as I did some 20+ years ago. As the saying goes...you can lead a horse to water but the horse will ultimately decide to drink or not and face what happens with that choice. I feel more that I can't even find a horse to lead. Oh well. An interesting moment yesterday as my booth was next to the Democratic booth. For much of the Fair young people would walk past that booth sporting Trump hats or flags. It seemed to intimidate them and think they had a talk with someone to try to stop that. I find it amazing how they are easily offended when a few people exercise their right of expression. Of interest a former military vet and father of four young girls really got in their face and called them out. Their motto at the Fair...Democrats Care about People and listed all the things they stand for...what a CROCK of Crap. As I was leaving the Fair, I wanted to call them out and simply say...their motto is a JOKE and it isn't funny, but didn't, I just walked out. I also wanted to say to them...how do you like being verbally attacked, it happens all the time to our side. Still encouraged that so many young people seem to have an interest in what is happening knowing their future is at stake.
