Meet Nonman

All my life I have been followed around by this character. He shows up in many different capacities. Sometimes he's in a uniform enjoying gravy. Sometimes he turns out to be one of those creeps that works for big brother and spends all his time figuring out what everyone is doing wrong. Yet other times this Nonman simply exists in an amazing tapestry of life not knowing where he comes from or how his existence is even possible. We feed him and clothe him. We entrust him with our destiny every two years, but every four if he is even less of a man. Most times he owns no land and has little to lose because he has no idea what true wealth is. He may have a small lot with a huge house. He may have an expensive four wheel drive vehicle with outrageous capacity to get things done but, he does nothing, really. Then again he may have nothing at all. In any case, this character, Nonman, are many, and is like a dark cloud over this country and especially in my life. They come from all walks, creeds, and colors. Every once in a while I will share stories about Nonman. Many of you will be able to relate. Hopefully you will relate as one who knows but not one who is. God help us all. We must change this.
