I'm not wanting to replace anyone

[soldierant]

6. The only people I would ever want to replace

are those who are doing a shitty in their life's work and hurting people. Such as my Congressman. And even him I would not want to replace personally - but I 'd love to replace him with someone better. Sadly, that's not going to happen in this district any time soon.

The "replace" trope is not new. I know it goes back at least to Hitler's Germany, and it would not surprise me if it went back much further. It strikes me as crlea insanity. If you are afraid you might be replaced, in a position, do a better job, If you are seriously araid of being replaced as a human being - try being a better human being. No one is trying or wishing to replace Jimmy Carter. (Not that any human being is really replaceable anyway. The whole concept is worse than idiotic - it's insane.)

I apologize for writing in anger. It's not aimed at you but at the idiots. You are a human jewel, and I accept, welcome, and applaud you.
