Because really, if you're such a rebel, why did you come to Taste of Polonia? For the blintzes and terrific polka?

    In Defense of Lone Wolfs

    Why did a Lone Wolf show up at the Taste of Polonia? There's the innocuous: He was riding past and wanted to stop for a drink. His grandmother lives in town and he was visiting, looking for something to do other than watch game shows. He grew up in Polonia and is looking for something.

    Why does a stray show up anywhere?

    While the statement: "If you're such a rebel why did you come to taste of Polonia?" Is on the mark for a superficial analysis, it is insufficient to support your pity.

    That superficial analysis essentially leads to the statement: "You just have a problem getting along with people."

    Really??

    A more deliberate inquiry into the "Lone Wolf" must begin with the "problem." Saying that a loner has a "problem" getting along with people confounds the inquiry.

    I contend that the "problem" is that 999 out of every 1000 people are worthless pieces of shit--the solution is to resist them. This is what others like to call a "problem" getting along with others.

    I posit that evil will never be overcome (and by evil I mean ignorance, fear, and hate), but at the core of being Right is not to eradicate evil in the world but to resist it.

    Now I'm ready for some blintzes.

    I think my sadness came from watching him for a while, as he sort of circled and looked for the perfect outside vantage point. Then he prowled around with his eyes for a bit. I have been thinking a lot about loners lately, and how many loners are people who proclaim themselves outsiders after failing to belong, for whatever reason.

    I don't think loners have any one problem in common. But this particular guy seemed to really want to show everyone just how okay he was on his own.
