12-8-2013:  I'm saddened and ashamed this morning.  For myself mostly, but also the Law Enforcement decisions made in reference to my call on November 29th AND the trend that seems so widespread or even prevailing in American Society.  I'm well aware of the multitude of "practical" side/view of my own decision, the LE decisions and that which feeds the trend.  Regardless of all the "rational/rationalization" of choosing the "correct" decisions, it remains and will haunt me because it is simply wrong.  I have decided that I will in fact choose to join local law enforcement decisions to encourage behavior that may/should be considered criminal.  Of course I refer to the behavior of the man and wife that endangered WayVer and me on a public access road.  With every portion of my thinking and perception of ethics and integrity I believe it is wrong to NOT attempt to inform/educate that family that their actions ARE illegal and not acceptable.  I also believe it is wrong for us as a society to fail to address that the lessons the children are learning are also not acceptable for later behavior decisions.  While I believe that not "stepping forward" or "taking a stand" is also wrong, that decision is "correct" for me in this case.  Unfortunately as an Army SgtMajor spoke many, many years ago,  "Once you quit, it always becomes easier later".  All the "correct" choices and the rationalizations that attempt to justify that correctness can NOT be separated from the (IMO likely) possibility/probability that the adults and thus the whole family will learn or reinforce their belief that intimidation and bullying are acceptable behavior.  I have made the choice to avoid the area I've walked on, enjoyed and prefer.  For a multitude of reasons it isn't "practical" for me to stand alone to demonstrate that intimidation isn't allowed and that endangering others is acceptable to society.  My conscious is NOT clear, I AM ashamed but will continue to breathe and function largely and mostly to others in the same manner.  I will remain aware and sensitive to the ramifications of my own behavior and that of others.  As I sit here (feeling either "down", saddened, or sorry for myself depending on the readers view) I'm pretty sure that I'll be aware that I no longer have the right to urge others to "take a stand for the good of all".
