He had E-scruff

Picking on someone is never a good thing (not to be confused with picking off of someone. That’s good for social animals like primates). I’ve never seen ‘picking on’ to have any good merits, with the exeption of establishing who’s the biggest meanest person you know (because that’s a good merit?). Bullies are only powerful when they’re around. They tend to be ignored when they’re not there (When the cat’s away…). When bullies get feared outside the room, we tend to call them tyrants, or overlords, or bosses (,or assassinated).

The biggest problem with bullies is that they don’t even try. They bully people who are already weaker than them (and that’s pretty weak, if you ask me). No one really complains when a bully meets someone who’s willing, and then does stick up for the bullied. This is especially true when the bullied sticks up for themselves (the boring plot-line of sooooo many movies…). The problem is when the bullied sticks up for him/herself by bullying back. Fighting fire with fire doesn’t always work (often burns observers double). The best way to stick up for the bullied is to mount a strong opposition with non-violence (Action through inaction). It gets all those people who aren’t involved to see where the real moral high-ground is (with themselves; after all, they’re the ones judging the situation). This is why my heroes are people like Jesus Christ and Martin Luther King Jr. (and Vash the Stampede).

Having said all that, some guys tried bullying Him today. Guess they were feeling weak and decided they needed to feel powerful. They picked the wrong fight. He beat them up quite efficiently. Apparently cat’s don’t need the moral high-ground when they have the clawed low-ground.

I’ll have to drink on this.
