Piecing together your posts, I feel as if there's a whole series of dangerous incidents that which happened decades ago which weren't explained to the right people at the right time. And that must suck, to be honest.
But...Nobody cares what you (or anyone else) did in high school. Why should anyone care about your situation over 25 years ago? Everyone else has moved on as an adult, and nobody cares much about how exciting your specific situations were because it's impossible to relate. The echoes of the past are silent and the individual actions of history are all but forgotten.
I care. No matter what you think of Bandit, his posts generate a lot of conversation, much of which is hilarious. I've been a fan of his for years now.
Eh, it's not a slight. We all have things to get over; maybe it's all therapeutic. And his posts are a welcome break from the usual around here.
Speaking as fellow 45-year-olds, talking about how much you rebelled against your high school authority is like talking about how shiny your tricycle was back in the day. Someone who hasn't been through the same things (say, a co-worker or acquaintance) and expecting that they
should still care about the events of years ago, seems out-of-depth, because it won't trigger the same response after as the years go on.
Maybe it's because I find ever-decreasing relevance to the events in past to those in today's world, which has likely happened since the dawn of man.
