Consider:
�� *shoes exist for the purpose of fitting the feet of people.�
�� *the twentieth century american thug, which is a particular type�
���� of person, exists.
would it not make sense for the two elements to go hand in hand, or foot in shoe?� thugs need appropriate footwear.�� i would surmise that jackboots are perfect for the job.� but let's think about this...the job of a thug - well that's obvious.� but the design of the boot is not so apparent.� i, for one, have never seen jackboots on sale at macy's.� by analyzing the activities of the twentieth century american thug, one can draw a picture on a mental doodle pad (if you will) of what a jackboot looks like.
now...if we all could think for a moment (whomever might be encompassed under the umbrella of "we all," which could be comprised of several people or just two)...what does a twentieth century american thug do?� well, there are basically two types of thugs:
�� *blue collar thugs (and)
�� *white collar thugs
both types, in essence, participate in identical activities, but for different reasons.(1)� thugs are into doing violent deeds for money and revenge, usually for some other larger proprietor, i.e., a drug runner, mafia boss, or government official.� The only difference between the two is in appearance and their stations in society.� Blue collar thugs are coarse� in their dress and demeanor.� White collar thugs are equally violent in their manner of beatings and killings, but they look much more genteel; more glamorous, or in some cases, more corporate and business like.(2)
what do thugs do with their feet that would require special footwear which also involves violence?� perhaps stomping on fingers and crushing bones, kicking in doors and skulls?that sort of thing.� i can imagine that the footwear of thugs needs to made of durable material...considering the blood, brain particles, and vomit that may result from a thorough drubbing via. jackboot.� i propose that a jackboot is black, made of a leather upper sheathed in teflon, with a tough rubber sole.� i think that it has a reinforced steel toe, perhaps laquered in black.� there is no shoelace in a jackboot;� it would only get in the way.� this boot slides on quickly and has one buckle at the top.� some jackboots might have special hideaway pockets in them, for concealing fun little gizmos of torture and various weapons intended to inflict bodily harm..�
so yes, this is the jackboot.� simple, yet stylish.� fit for the foot of any thug ready to do some violence.� real horrorshow?
(1) the thug and narrator of a clockwork orange by anthony burgess� wore - you guessed it...jackboots.� he referred to them (as did his colleagues) as "horrorshow kickboots."� this was a thug who was into violence for recreation - unlike� the thugs i have described.� but then again, "little alex" of� clockwork was not a twentieth century thug.
(2) because appearances are so deceptive, the white collar thug is more dangerous than the blue collar thug, in my opinion.� the white collar thug does not fit the profile; therefore he will commit more crime successfully while eluding authorities frequently.� in some cases, thugs masquerade as authority� officials, i.e. police officers and political leaders.
