A hundred generals but no army
In the fight against BSL the pit bull is sure to lose! WHy?
The BS that goes on in the pit bull community itself.
Although most of the pit bull community does nothing, there are many great people that are activly fighting BSL. Some of these people have done great things already. Some are doing their best! All are part of the fight. But, absolutely none of these individual groups are working together.
Those who are most militant are doing great things and are very proud and boisterous of what they have done. However, because they are dead set on obtaining credit for “saving the breed” they have alienated and isolated everyone else that has the desire to work at this cause. “We have done this, and we have done that” they cry! We are the ones everyone must bow down and worship for our efforts.
Do each of these individuals and groups not realize that they will never win the fight alone?
It is in the best interests of the activists who are against our breed, that we NEVER come together under a single flag. We could win the fight if we had solidarity and unity of purpose against this injustice.
Yet who should, would, or could be the general, the one to bring the warriors together. The shogun leader, the one to find them, the one to bind them, the one bring us all together so we can save them? I doubt there are ANY of the individual factions that would release their claim to fame long enough to even consider the option.
So I do what I can to build a network, a set of communication tools, some educational tools, I try to remain above the various forms of reproach that are so eagerly heaped upon anyone who would dare to claim to “save the breed”, I try not to draw attention or publicize my efforts, I dont ask for credit, and I eagerly await the NEO~
Will we chose the one when he/she has shown themself? Will we forget all our petty differences and link arms? I doubt it! I used to optimistic but no one gives me hope!
A sad sad note I play at the end of the day, as the childhood friends who protected, honored, and bestowed enduring, unequivocal, unconditional, love on me are turned into a distant memory!
Goodbye true ones! I will hopefully be good enough in life, that I have the priviledge of walking with you again across the rainbow!
