Golden Rule in Progress

Hey Folks,

Just a while back I was at Comfest sitting at the Not In Our Name booth where we have Bush "Wanted Posters" on display. Most folks are lefties at Comfest, but one DH came by, pointed at the wanted poster and said "That's disgusting." I said, "He's [Bush] disgusting." He said, "You're disgusting." I said, "You are disgusting." He couldn't think of anything but repeating himself; so, again he said: "You're disgusting."

I said, "Your Mama," and he left - which was his first wise act.

I explained to the other folks standing near the booth that I had followed the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." That SOB had come up, unsolicited, and gotten in my face (i.e. he "did unto me"). Obviously he wanted me to do unto him as he had done unto me; so I did.

Once he understood the ground rules, he stopped looking for trouble.
