I'm a writer, and a veteran.

I generally don't use words by accident. Unlike you, Deranged Patriot -- and all those of similar ilk who have responded to the OP.

It never once occurred to you to wonder WHY I called the essay what I did, did it? Not once.

You think writing is easy -- though YOU yourself are utterly incapable of constructing even something as simple as a coherent Tweet.

And you think the TITLE is the easiest part, right?

You didn't even look beyond that two word description. Because people like you never do.
2/
You never looked beyond the obvious generally accepted meaning of the words -- knuckle-dragging goons like you never do because you have the intellectual curiosity of a baked potato.

Your whole word is that way. Simple. Shallow. Incurious. Black and white. Us and them.

3/
You puzzled out the words and you were outraged. It never once occurred to you to look any further or wonder if there might be more meaning. Nope, rage, fangs bared, eyes yellow with hate, that's you.

That's the ONLY reaction you're capable of. Mindless baboon reflex.

You're why toasters have labels warning people not to make breakfast in the shower. Because you'd kill yourself with a waffle, like a monkey playing with a loaded pistol.

It has to be spelled out in detail because you don't have the ability to fill in the rest on your own.

Two million years of human evolution, from the moment the first Homo Habilis picked up an antelope thighbone and learned to use it as a club, a million generations down to Homo Sapiens cracking the atom and landing on the moon, and THIS is the best you can do.

This is the best you'll ever be: an incurious, more or less bilaterally symmetrical lump of protoplasm, indistinguishable from a pair of plastic testicles dangling off the back of a rusted out pickup.

Homo Habilis would whack you over the head with an antelope thighbone.
