"Might Makes Right"

David, great memory and story. Here is my memory and story about my Dad. Not quite like yours for sure, but in 1976, I did give Dad a new Cadillac Eldorado, but he soon traded it for a Porsche:

I was 16 years old, when my father, Lord Howard, came to me, and asked me to drive over to his apartment building in the middle of Maidstone, in Kent, and collect the rent from a Mr. Carter in apartment 212. He further told me to see that I did not leave without receiving the rent owed. Well, I went to the apartment building, a new, modern, building that held 64 rentals in a horseshoe design, with an extensive and beautiful garden, giving the modern complex both a trendy, and at the same time a "country cottage" look. The building was directly in the commercial part of the town, and was quite convenient for persons who did not have a car for transportation, and relied on either walking or taxi transport. The rents were modest, and the occupancy rate had held at a profitable 97% over the 10 years since the buildings' opening. The renters were mostly retired persons, singles and couples, who held small pensions. Nice quiet people for the most part.

When I got to the building, I went directly to Mr. Carter's door, on the second floor, and pressed the outside bell button. He answered the bell, almost immediately, and when I told him that I had been instructed by the Lord to claim his rent check, he began to respond to me in both a loud and domineering voice. He said that I need not bother him for he had always paid his rent on time; that he was busy at that particular time; and that I could go home, and inform Lord Howard that he would forward the rent check in due time. He then proceeded to close the door in my face.......... punctuated with a loud slam. Thinking that I had done my job, I proceeded to go home, and inform my father of the situation. Well, I was in for a huge surprise. Father, started, "You moron. I told you to bring back the rent....no excuses. I could let this cretin send the rent when he pleases; I don't need you to go around, and translate for this fool. He has a binding contract, and he needs to pay according to that contract." Well, I was quite surprised at the furry of father. I had only seen him this "wild" on no more than 3 occasions in the past 16 years, and I was not sure, by his ferocity, if he was going to "kill" me, or the errant tenant. Father told me to bring the car around, and said that we both would go visit Mr. Carter, and see that he understood the complete meaning of an obligatory, legal document.

I brought the car around, and father got in, and he seemed so calm, that I was thinking that I had dreamed the previous encounter. We arrived at the apartment building without further incident, and father beat a path up the stairs to Mr. Carter's apartment, with me following in dogged pursuit. Father did not even ring the door bell.....he pounded on the door, 3, or 4, very hard hits.... and it was suddenly opened by Mr. Carter. Mr. Carter was a slight man in his mid fifties, and father was just slightly less than 6 foot, but with the build of a prize winning boxer. Father, did not even give Mr. Carter time to speak. He grabbed this renter with his left hand.....a handful of shirt....and proceeded to push him across the living room, and into a wall. Father, using the handful of colorful flannel..... then lifted the slight man upwards so that his toes barely touched the floor. He then screamed in Mr. Carter's face, "Don't give me excuses and don't dismiss my son when I have sent him to collect your rent. I am going to count to 10, and when I get to 10, if you have not put your rent check in my hand, I will grab you by your shirt once again, and I will take my right hand, and grasp your balls and squeeze them, and I will then throw you through that front window. And then I will go outside and pick up your bloody and broken body, and throw you back into this room, and continue to do so until you say, "Quit." Father then let Mr. Carter down, and there upon he (Carter) ran into his bedroom and returned with check book in hand. Looking quite scared, Carter then sat on the living room couch; leaned forward....... and used the steamer trunk, he had as a coffee table, to substitute as a writing desk, to write out the rent check. He handed it to father, and announced, "I have included an extra $15 dollars to compensate you for your collection trouble." Father took the check, and we went home, saying not a word in the car during the trip.

Later that night, father, summoned me to his library, and he informed me that I was to take charge of the rentals at the apartment building starting as soon as I either evicted someone, or took over from someone that had an expired lease. He further informed me that I would be living on my own, and handling all the general maintenance on the building, and the collection of all rents...... and that I would need to figure out how much to increase the rents to compensate for my living in one of the apartments...for "free". I was overjoyed at the prospect of being only 16, and living away from home, and having a "bachelor pad" in the middle of town. Father, also told me to contact his friend, Carl Zinman, who owned a furniture store, and to get myself everything I needed to establish my future domain. I lived in that apartment building for three and one half years, and learned how the "real world" operates on this planet we call Earth."Might Always Makes Right", it is just a matter of how much force to apply, and when to apply that force. This is what always separates "Good" from "Evil".

Hillary Lied

Our FBI and Justice Department is totally corrupted. James Comey is a coward and a traitor, and deserves the maximum punishment for his crimes. It is time for Donald Trump to tell the "worm" that soon he will be investigated, and if found guilty punished. And why is Comey caught up in all this mess? Because he is a "worm" and to bring charges against Hillary would have forced him to bring charges against B.H. Obama ll also. Obama has lied as much as Hillary through this entire ordeal. Comey has caused enough problems for this nation, and it is time for him to "Man Up", and stop blaming Hillary Clinton's problems on Putin. Putin had nothing to do with "Dumber than Dirt" Hillary using an unsecured email server. Putin had nothing to do with her and her "Dumber than Dirt" Minions from lying, and stonewalling at every point of inquiry. The emails of Hillary and her corrupt band of traitors were exposed by whoever? It is only relevant in that the American public was finally able to lift the cover from this "Macbeth character" (Hillary) before she was elected President. So it is time for the Patriots of this nation to take action against the continued lies from "Big Media", and boycott all businesses that continue to sponsor Hillary Clinton, and the corrupt Democratic Party. This nonsense about Putin and hacking....and the influence of the American Presidential vote of November 2016 is childish college student talk. Here is the truth about Putin and Russia and Hacking:

Putin had noting to do with our Presidential election. Putin is not a stupid man. He survives because he is most cunning. If he had hacked the emails of Hillary Clinton and her Minions he would not have shown them to anyone, or even mentioned that he had them. And by the fact that he is most cunning he would know that they would be a most valuable asset should Hillary get elected President. Putin works in blackmail like an artist works with paints. Getting the drift yet? Putin then would work hard to get Hillary elected rather than un-elected. Then when she would become President he would send her some samples of the hacked emails for viewing. Get it yet? Suddenly, President Hillary would have to "play ball" with Putin, or be exposed as the corrupt lying moron she really is. She could not let the emails become public. Her world of fantasy would come crashing down unless she acquiesced to the demands of Putin. Hillary Clinton is a traitor and needs to be punished. Big Media needs also to be purged and punished. The American Patriot's need to continue to push this new President, Trump, into returning America's Moral Compass and Constitution to the ideals of our beloved Founders. It is time that we finally get out of Wonderland. “If you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison' it is certain to disagree with you sooner or later.” Lewis Carroll
