Hey!

Jack just wants to say, "Hey!"  His hyperactive assertive behavior tends to chase away most of those he would love to meet the most.  A lot can be learned from Jack.

People we meet walking down life's pathway can behave similar to Jack.  We misinterpret their intention because they have misrepresented themselves by decorating their shells in an abrasive manner.  What does that mean? 

Jack is clearly a dog.  Jack is clearly hyper, but if Jack were wearing a choke collar, most people would think he was also aggressive.  His "attire" says he might bite or scratch if he gets the chance.

The same can be said for people that dress in clothes that look like they too could "bite."  Does that make people that choose to avoid them prejudice?  By definition, yes.  There's a flaw in this thinking though.  Do you run up and say, "hi" to a guy holding an automatic weapon and a ski mask?  I would hope not.  No!  You'd be licking the floor, just like Jack.  Survival instincts, we all should have them. 

I can't say how many times I've watched Steve Harvey's routine about the African safari.  Excuse me for paraphrasing, "black folks hear a strange noise and head the other way.  The white guy says he's gonna go see what that was."  Not the smartest of moves for the white guy, right?  Guess what!  Most people get this!  Guess what else!  The Media wants you to think people don't! 

The Media at large wants us to believe that the majority of Americans are stupid, racist, and disenchanted.  It's time for us to show the media they are wrong.  If you take the time to say, "Hey!"  You'll find out people feel the same way you do.  We're tired of the propaganda.  We're not stupid.  We don't hate each other.  We're fully aware the Media is trying to spoon feed us a bunch of bunk three times a day, which is called the NEWS.  Pull back the Media's curtain. 

Go out and say, "hey."  Cross that line of your comfort zone and restore someone's faith in humanity!  Show the Media they don't know Jack!
