I Told You To

 There are two types of requests that people make. One is a "because I am telling you to" and the other is "what would be best". I am a "because it would be best" type of person. I do not do something because I am told to do it. To me, that feels like a threat. I read an article this morning about celebrities telling the Democratic candidate that he has to choose a specific type of running made. I take that as a threat. That means that a choice is not made by qualifications. It is made by a person's appearance. Is this equality? I think not.
