That was fantastic. I've never considered the idea of cartoons being boring because they're so predictable, but you're absolutely right. A bit of unpredictability can be great. I saw the new "Twisters" movie recently, and the first half of the movie was almost identical to the first one, so I (thought I) knew exactly where it was heading, and I was wrong. It was fantastic.

The political part of your post is something I've noticed in my world lately too. As a 48-year-old white male Christian, people automatically lump me in a certain group politically, and they're almost always wrong. I don't want to be unpredictable just for the sake of being unpredictable, but I also never want one part of my life to dictate what other parts need to look like.

As always, that was an amazing post!

I love that—keep ‘em guessing! You are a deep and honest thinker and that will always confuse a lot of people.
