Even normal people tend to roll their eyes at me, as if I am some kind of lazy mooch who has never had a 'real' job in my life, so I am used to this. However, I may be decrepit and I may be old, but the first asshat that tries to get into my shit will find out that I am also a born and bred swamp boy who does not feel afraid of bigots or children. Which is what is running the country now. Sure, they may win that fight, but I will go down knowing that I did not cower or back down in front of those sub humans who are trying to act like they are people. They will not get that satisfaction.
