Societus Lupus

The Wolf gets a bad rap in my opinion, Throughout the centuries we have projected on to the wolf the qualities we most despise and fear in ourselves. Savagery, blood-lust, disregard for the flickering flame of life, willing to snuff that flame out the instant it furthers our own selfish goals. Long forgotten by the masses are the truly magnanimous traits of the Wolf. Honor, loyalty, order, restraint. The Wolf respects the packs hierarchy, the wolf never betrays his own kind, the wolf never takes what's more that needed to survive. Noble characteristics to be admired and emulated. No, instead we take this regal creature and demonize it, make it's lonely howl at thing to send chills down ones spine, instill in it the very things we are most afraid of. When in reality we are more likely to ravage ourselves than to become victim to anything else. There is much of the wolf to be desired in modern society. But the masses are much more content to be Sheep...
Being Sheep is easier, there is no free thought required. There is just do what everyone else is doing. Move with the herd wherever the Trend Shepherd tells you to go. Trend Shepherd CNN tells you what to think, Trend Shepherd MTV tell you what to wear, life is good! What's next guys?! I know! Let's worry about the "Crisis in Darfur" Madonna and George Clooney say it's bad there!. Open your eyes...
Take care of your own as the wolf does. The Sheep gets taken care of. A people in a country half way around the world are killing each other and inflicting grievous acts upon themselves. Horrible horrible things agreed, yet they've been doing these things since time immemorial, they will not stop now. Meanwhile YOUR countrymen are being wounded or killed to the tune of three a DAY and you ignore them, allow them to be relegated to a numerical footnote at the end of the evening news. Must you support what their doing? No. Again, I am a fan of free thought. What it is you MUST do, is support THEM. Whether you like it or not, the Airman, Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines are deployed FOR YOU, they spend months and years away from their loved ones, in harms way to protect your RIGHT to choose to Sheep or Wolves. Do not disgrace this selfless act, sometimes to the point to that greatest of sacrifices by ignoring them, debasing them as the uneducated dregs of society following mindlessly the direction the government points. Lest you forget this Great Country was founded by "We The People..." 7 years ago "We The People" Sent them over there. Hope you haven't forgotten why yet. Watch this if you have...
