      How does that differ from being a woman? And can you boil it down a bit so I can fit on a bumper sticker for my Prius? https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1260945442885513224 …

      If you've ever watched a John Wayne or Clint Eastwood Western, you'll notice that the guy who runs his mouth, swaggers, & talks a big game is never the hero. He's usually the guy who gets shot by Clint or the Duke.

          Also, in real life, the West wasn't settled by the Clint Eastwood loner types. It was settled by the Pa Ingalls types, men in covered wagons with a wife, a bunch of kids in tow, a Bible, a gun, & a lot of quiet patience.

          Thank you. That is exactly the metaphor I’ve been using for a while. That was a running theme in Western novels, movies, and TV shows. The blowhard is usually a bully and rarely has what it takes to be a man.

          Dan, what you say is true. But Joe Starrett needed Shane. And we love Shane because he is heroic and his story is dramatic! But life is more Joe Starrett. And it is Joe Starrett who wins in the end.

          John Adams and Sam Adams were on the same side.

          I too get all my life lessons from John Wayne movies.
