In this first installment of the thoughts and wisdom of Big Daddy Abel, readers are taken into BDA's (Big Daddy Abel's) interpretation of one of "those" forwarded emails that blast the world's inboxes everywhere - you know the kind I mean "Send this or repost this if you agree, if you don't you are a horrid person and your head will explode in 5.2 seconds of reading the last word".  Yeah, we have all had our fair share of them - I'll be honest, most of mine get hit by that little old button with the "Delete" half worn off from usage.  In any case, this is an email that I actually recall seeing around a few times and love that BDA has taken the time to respond, in accordance, to broken down statements throughout.  The email is titled "Everyone Should Read This!"  The gist of it is how our "land of the free", "home of the brave" land has turned into muddled waste.  Agree?  Well, whether you do or not, BDA will make you think and think hard, with his thoughts and comments.  The email is broken down in sections with BDA's thoughts following each section in parenthesis - very easy to follow and incredibly well structured.My thoughts?  I LOVED it and think that everyone should read this.  It is also something that should be read again and again and again.  If it wasn't so long, I would be all for turning these words into a plaque and proudly displaying throughout every house and every building.  There are heaps of truth within BDA's thoughts.  They are open, honest and brutally thought-provoking.  For some, it may be like rubbing salt within open wounds and then pouring alcohol on top for good measure.  BDA gives his soul responses to topics such as immigration, freewill, rights, the battle of "Christmas", religion, media impact and so much more.  Here is a bit of an excerpt that I think will make a little light bulb flash above people's heads:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language!"(BDA: You are correct again... now YOU do your part and spend some time teaching those who need a GOOD teacher so they CAN speak English instead of ostracising them.  Don't COMPLAIN... DO something about it.)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My thoughts on this statement: Amen and God Bless.  That is one of our greatest downfalls as a society - the ability to HELP instead of CONDEMN.  In any case, as you can tell, this is one of my favorite pieces of literature that I have ever read (and I have read A LOT!).  Even if you are not a "reader", this is something that screams to be read - it will not kill you to take 15 minutes from your busy life to read this - that 15 minutes of reading will equal a lifetime of thought provoking neurons floating around in your brain,  I promise! I could truly go on and on and on and on about this, but I will zip thee lip and just say this: GO GET A COPY  NOW!!  Yes, I said it in all capitals!!!  Lol!
