Lesson from a Leper….
This was posted over on today’s videocast comment section, in response to Judy.York. Judy shares the same experiences as so many of us, who have friends and relatives who have disenfranchised and marginalized those of us who would not drink the Medical Industrial Complex, Government, Woke Crazoid Flavorade. Near the end of her comments, she said, and I quote, “We are lepers, period.” I feel her pain, as most of us have. She’s not wrong. This is my response to her comment: “Don’t worry about being a leper. Lepers might have something important to say to us today. Might I suggest your reading, “Koolau the Leper,” by Jack London (“The Call of the Wild “ and “White Fang”). It’s a great story; quite pertinent to our times.” http://www.online-literature.com/london/72/ My response is not the point; it’s merely posted for context. The point IS the story; “Koolau the Leper,” is a great tale. And, more importantly it expresses a sentiment in brutal terms with which we all have an affinity. Do yourselves a favor and read the story. It’s a short story, not a novel. Takes about a half hour to an hour to read. It’s time well spent. Pints half off at the Tavern with proof of readership.
