Pussy Fest

I started watching some of the re-runs of the "Sons of Anarchy" television show.  It is kind of hokey and way over dramatic.  These guys fight when they should lay low, lay low when they should fight and walk into ambushes as if they couldn't possibly happen.  Hokey, but, what television isn't.

I started DVRing the show and I am watching the episode "savage".  There is this scene where the kid running the club calls a meeting with everyone and literally tells the members of all the other chapters that they are going into business with pussy exclusively and that the other chapters couldn't run guns.

A bike club, like any other group, is just a bunch of people who do different things.  There are some loyalty issues with bike clubs that do not exist in most other organizations.  The guys do different things to make money and will either create partnerships and/or ask members to do stuff.  It ain't club business.  Club business is pretty much the same all over, paying dues, paying rent, organizing stuff, etc.  Club business does not change just because the club is all about motorcycles.

So, business is business.  People buy stuff, they add value and the sell stuff.  It really doesn't matter what the stuff is, it could be construction where people buy the labor of others and the added value is a new roof which they sell to someone.  The added value could be all B.S. like it is with some people who buy cheap jewelry and pretend it is good stuff and sell it out of high rent stores.  Business is just business.

If someone's business brings heat down on a club, and I was always considered a wild cannon, unpredictable, so I know about this, they are told to cool the fu*k out or get lost.  If things are bad enough other stuff can happen, but, everything has consequences so most people in business try not to over react and this includes bike clubs.  The more likely someone is to hurt a club the worse the situation.

Some people liked keeping me at arms length and others thought I was too much trouble to have around.  Yeah, I could be ruthless, but, I also pick and choose so no one could be sure if they called and told me to show up if I would be there.  This is still true, I am nothing if not inconsistent enough in the minds of others that people who like to put other people into boxes don't like me.  I am consistent, on my terms and no one else's.  I am not about to be a patch holder, but, I know enough about how things work.

So I watched this kid on SOA whining about getting out of the gun business and literally thought to myself, this is a pussy fest.  This guy is right, the future of this club is all in pussy.
