(written on May 23rd)
I made my way to Flagstaff, Az. I stopped at a local Walmart there to purchase more vegetable oil for the RV. (my dogs were safe in the RV, or so they kept saying over and over.) As I was in the small line to pay, some people behind me and infront of me were talking about how the 4400 were menaces to society and that they shouldn't have been able to have been brought back. That the future should have just kept them and let everyone continue to believe they were dead. They were also very anti on those who took Promicin.
The man behind me, a rough looking guy around his fifties, but still buff, asked me what I thought. I simply told him that despite the 4400s and despite the Promicin + , they were still humans and that we should treat them with respect no matter the differences. Both the people behind me and infront of me looked at me in disgust.
When it was my turn to pay, the cashier stated that I cared for the 4400s and the Promicin +. My response, "What if I do? What's it to you?" He just smiled and replied, "That's cool. That's the problem with this world, everyone is so judgemental towards them. You'd think that we'd over come this history of this world but we haven't." He then pulled out a card from his pocket. I then noticed the lettering on the card, it wasn't any language known to man (except to a selected few.) I read the card and I knew what it meant.
I thanked him and then went on my way.
At least someone was on my side and despite the people infront and behind me who were big and mean looking, this one guy helped to change my insecurities. And the fear that I had of those men went away.
When I arrived back at the RV, I got to thinking back on what he had said. Troy, the cashier, was right. You'd think that we would have learned from our mistakes but prejudice has always gone on as much as you try to hide it. People judge each other by their heritage or the color of their skin. Unfortunately, the same is now happening to the 4400s and the Promicin +. There has got to be a stop to this!
