The Sheriff and the Cemetery

Today's discussion had me thinking about the sheriff, and of his views on truth. Our closing discussion kind of revolved around his perceptions of truth, but we also discussed the significance of the story about cleaning cemeteries. I think now that perhaps maybe the sheriff finds cemeteries so important because they are ever-present visual reminders of our history. Maybe the sheriff believes that cemeteries are more than just social constructs because they hold the truth that will remain even after the stories have been told.

While some may argue that the sheriff is a maniac stuck in the past ideals of the west, I still argue that he is an adorable old man who just wants to preserve the respect and honor of his western community.
