THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

A VENTILATION | 2007-09-14

I tell you what I'm REALLY sick of. I heard this endlessly from the The Greatest Generation, and it is popular on SF. It comes in three parts:

!) "Me Tough Guy, me SUFFERED, me know REALITY."

2) "Reality always BAD!"

3) He then shows he's a Tough Guy by sitting there and blubbering about how hopeless everything is.

He says I'm not a Tough Realist because I don't blubber.

I hope I NEVER get that "Tough."
