The first serious whiff of that way of thinking happened around the nation the day after Obama’s ‘re-election’. Many people still want to carve some area out for themselves and likeminded individuals because the takers are fast out numbering the producers.
The schools, primary through graduate seem to value obedience and conformity over independence and originality. Society in general is working and twerking it’s way to trash strewn bottom. So, yes, it’s time to rethink our choices. Minor point; when I see the phrase ‘Benedict Option’, my first thought is to think of Benedict Arnold, who would be the antithesis of this kind of venture. That’s just me needing to read more and broaden my mind.
“my first thought is to think of Benedict Arnold”
This author should call it the “Saint Benedict Option”.
Before Obama I was drinking 5-6 diet sodas a day and consuming maybe 2200 calories. Now I'm drinking only water and green tea, and am down to about 900 calories (and down almost 100 pounds so far).
Before Obama I didn't know a .22 caliber cartridge from a .308 .. now I'm much more knowledgable (and practiced) in this area.
Thank you Prez Obama for inspiring me to no longer be a sheep! Hopefully this country is becoming full of wolves!
