actual circus clowns, in a perfect world perhaps they could be slapped in the face but they are Americans too and perhaps there are things I do that make them uncomfortable. They have a right to do that and being uncomfortable is my problem, I just switched seats so I didn't have to look at them. This was at the time when open carry was a popular topic because Texans were struggling for their rights and it gave me some perspective of how some people are uncomfortable when others open carry.
