Not Cut Out For a Life of Crime
I was just now watching our local news (San Antonio KSAT channel 12).
They ran a story “Tables Turn On Robber Gunning For Cash“. Now there is a real idiot. If only all of our criminals were that stupid! Perhaps when he gets out of prison, he should get a job that doesn’t require a lot of thinking.
I applaud the clerk’s quick thinking and action! It just goes to show you that the average person like you and me can make a difference if we just stay alert. Not every situation like this will afford you an opportunity. Sometimes, there is nothing you can do. But sometimes, the jerks of the world make mistakes. We can take advantage of those mistakes. Just be careful not to take risks you don’t think you can handle. Know yourself. In making a practice of knowing ourselves, we stand a better chance of judging our abilities. Be ready.
About Me
My most treasured value is my freedom. It is one I have been willing to die for. Without freedom, my life is not my own. Why should I live a life not my own?
I served 6 years active duty in the U.S. Army. I served between two wars – Vietnam and Desert Storm.
I have spent most of my life seeking truth. I am still looking and suspect I always will be…
I have a vision of this blog being a place where I can explore the “Devil’s Advocate” position on various topics and share my opinions (and where I get them). My hope is to help myself and others to develop skill in critical thinking.
I am not a scholar. If you are looking for scholarly debates and dissertations, please look elsewhere. I am merely a middle-aged woman on a quest. If you are interested in following my thinking, welcome.
Sometimes I make mistakes. I even make dumb ones at times. So, if you catch me in one, please do point it out. That is how I learn. If you find yourself with an opinion different from mine, by all means, tell me about it and explain why you think the way you do. That way, we can all learn.
In the interest of making fewer mistakes, Logic and Fallacies – Constructing a Logical Argument is a great resource.
It may take me awhile to find my voice, but this is a journey, right?
