Personal Responsibility, the RW and fear

[nadinbrzezinski]

folks over the least two weeks, due to an accident at a store owned by a Right Winger... we have truly found more than we ever wanted to know about what drives them

First off this is about me... how things affect ME, and how to make things work for ME. Never mind how the accident affects the person affected...

Second off, they have bee reacting out of fear throughout the situation, I have yet to be able to corner them. I have yet to be able to speak to them. I have yet to be able to ask... do YOU have liability insurance? So here we are, stuck... because I do not want to go the lawyer. I am sure at this point they will close the business just to avoid ANY responsibity... ain't that incredible?

Oh before anybody asks there are only two stores in town that do this kind of niche business, small retailers, mom and pop shops, and both are owned by pukes, one of them the wife is a fundy.

1. Give them a couple of weeks to let the shock subside

and if you're still unable to get an answer out of them, THEN call the lawyer.

There is no earthly reason you should suffer for their incompetence or lack of foresight or stinginess in not having appropriate business insurance.

Accidents happen and you may never see much return on what they owe you. However, you owe it to yourself and to them to try. If you don't teach them, they will never learn.

2. Right wingers have a very specific set of personality traits

Thank you for bringing this up.

How I have seen right wingers is as follows:

1) Savagely selfish;
2) Adore and get off on authority (either they're following or they are the authority. They are adamantly against equality in every and any scenario from govt., to marriage, to business, to anything - this is why they adore the military, whether they're in it or not);
3) They believe society should be divided up into classes: poor, middle class, rich, powerful-weak, racial differences, etc. (They have had to accept women, blacks and Hispanics because these are voters and from among them they select the most servile women, blacks and Hispanics to befriend or run for office);
4) They tend to be Protestant. It is more convenient for them to be Protestant. (This is because Protestantism does NOT require the individual to do good deeds (for example, for the poor) in order to "get into heaven." Right wingers are not into doing good deeds unless they get publicity and tax credit for it. They would never, for example, secretly donate, or belong to a Dorothy Day style group).
5) They have psychological, emotional and mental sex "issues."
