how is it okay that the people we elect, the people that demand my respect, are just as morally corrupted as the rest of us? You ask me to give you respect but, where is my respect? I don't care if you find me rude. I will not give you respect when you look down on me, or others for their appearance, or how they talk, or their sexuality. I refuse to give you respect when you try to shove your beliefs down my throat. Why should I give you respect because of your tittle? How do I know you earned that? On the other hand where do I get off, suspecting that you didn't earn that tittle, that placement of power? aren't I just as bad as the person who would demand it, as I judge that you don't deserve respect? Where is the line? all too vague, is respect demanded, or earned? or a courtesy?
