A teenage boy had just passed his driving test ...
... and asked his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.
His father said he'd make a deal with his son, "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little and get your hair cut. Then we'll talk about the car" The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he'd settle for the offer and they agreed on it.
After about six weeks his father said, "Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm disappointed you haven't had your hair cut."
The boy said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.”
The father responded, "Did you also notice that they all walked everywhere they went?"
Mornin
It's owl party o'clock. Getting ready for our Earth Wind and Fire concert next week. Mark thinks the owls enjoy the music. All 3 are in the tree.
The reason he's loved by the world so much, is the example he sets.
When other world leaders see what he is doing to protect his country, vis a vis getting the illegals who would do harm to its citizens OUT, it "gives them permission" to do what is necessary to make their countries safer.
When U.S. citizens overwhelmingly elect a man like Trump, citizens around the world take note, and they can more easily adopt a "We don't have to take it anymore" attitude, thus electing likeminded politicians or giving permission to those already in power to do the same.
While not quite the domino effect, more of a rising tide.
To find a term to best describe DJT at the moment, I look to that classic film, COOL HAND LUKE...(2)
