Snoopy and Woodstock contemplate a battle

If you ever get to Richmond, Virginia to see the monuments to lovable people but unlovable soldiers from North and South you won't be able to forget the war was a horrible thing and took a heavy toll on lives of people on each side of the conflict.  The nasty memories which rise up as you see the statues of famous generals and the barely submerged bad feelings of living in a battlefield tells me a little story about all the people who see these reminders and show strength the source of which I can't determine but there is strength there nonetheless.  It's like camping out in a fort which one long past day determined the fate of a nation and the freedom of oppressed people--it's like camping out if you just come to camp out but the people who live here have the task of dealing with the residue of battles which are bitter and caused bitter feelings for many years.

Here in Richmond we have a battle again between Team A and Team B lets say.  Team A is the team which united the people under fair rules of play, honored the fallen soldiers before them, and insists respect be shown to all citizens in and out of the  political arena.  Team B on the other hand whose co-captains are David Letterman, Jay Leno, and Keith Olbermann have an idea that all the other team's rules weren't established fairly and can be ignored.  Team A's leader they assert needs to be shown no respect since he unfairly united the common man under the banner of fair play, good feelings, and showing respect for everyone. 

Dave, Keith, and Jay are contrarians you could accurately say since everytime I say black they say white.  I say day and they say night.  I say hello and they say goodbye.  It's true.  Just say something to Dave and he'll try to change your fact into a non-fact and in the process he'll try to sell you something dumb.  He is dumb.  Keith and Jay are similar in that an actual fact is just a starting point to twist you into doing or being something else.  Don't buy it . 

Don't play dumb!
