What I think is funny, not ha ha funny but hmmmm funny, is how so many
people who are really pretty intelligent and who really think they know
better, will hear something on the radio or see it on TV or read it in
the paper, and if it has some bearing on their own personal obsession,
GO ON A TEAR about it, as if they actually had some concrete knowledge
about it instead of a bit of emotionally slanted one-line newspeak.
Somebody I know, for example, once after merely BEING TOLD ABOUT IT in a
phone call from another person, came charging up to me livid with
outrage about some atomic satellite being launched in three days which
was probably or possibly going to explode in the atmosphere maybe and
exterminate all life on the planet perhaps. Then that person found it
terribly irritating that I too didn't get totally outraged and demand
that SOMETHING BE DONE instead of saying what I did say which was that
I'd never heard anything about it before and I'd have to have a little
more information to form an opinion about it. I also tried to remind
that person that the telephonic source of this fearful "news" was the
same person who refuses to eat anything off any plate or bowl with an
applied decorative pattern of any kind after hearing that SOME pottery
SOMEWHERE may contain "dangerous" amounts of lead.
Look, lemme clue you in - if you heard something on the news or read it
in the paper, you STILL don't know anything about it. It's gossip,
nothing more. That goes double if the word NAZI is involved.

YES.
This entire article is one of the most sensible things I've read
in a couple or ten years.

I don't think it was very funny that you could have stopped that
satellite, but chose not to, before it detonated, it's radiation
rapidly melting the icecaps and spreading that plutonium cloud
through the ozone layer. I mean, geez, like *one* phone call
would have been *that* much of a hassle.
However, I *do* think it's funny that that guy who was so afraid
of lead poisoning didn't realize that storing sugar in an old
"Rat Poison" box wasn't such a good idea. Arsenic! Haw haw!
Serves the old Nazi right. Even if he had survived, it prolly
would have caused so much dementia the tribunal would have had
to let him go.
^Thank you for your sport.

Being a con-artist in the health profession, & a DAMN good one, I know what
you mean. People are so incredibly empty & ready to believe anything they
hear or see from someONE or someTHING, that's it's actually kind of sad, but
very hillarious at the same time! These are the kind of people that I make
my living on which make up most of the population. I'm probably that way
too in a sense, but at least I KNOW everything is pretty much bullshit.
Sometimes, I feel kinda bad, conning these poor, empty individuals into
thinking that I'm actually doing something to help them feel better. I
cannot understand why the subG foundation can't get a measely dollar from
these type of people! WHAT'S REALLY SAD & FUNNY are all those people that
actually believe in what they are trying to con off onto someone else. What
about those pathetic creatures that think that they're satallite or whatever
will actually work! Man, if we could only be so lucky! This is Nazi
America, so I say let's use it up so we can move on.

I got so tired of finding my own self doing that, that after I hadn't
been able to watch or read the news for awhile, I deliberately KEPT not
watching or reading the news, because it felt good, and by GOBBS if I
don't soon feel better informed, yet LESS inclined to say anything
about any of that PRIMATE HOGWASH.

A buncha HOOEY is what it is. A bunch of monkey signifying.
Somebody called the ESO radio show just tonight and asked ME STANG the
TEXAN what I thought of George W. Bush. And I told him that I didn't
really know a GOD DAMNED THING about George W. Bush, never having met
him. I did blurt out something about the decoy crown prince son of the
puppet king of the secret police but that was later, after the
monkey-shrieking sound effects started up.
At the Devival in Cleveland this lady kept shrieking, "WHO SHOULD WE
VOTE FOR??" I expressed proper preacherly frustration at such silly
secular preoccupations but suggested that maybe if everybody threw
their votes away on ANYBODY EXCEPT the Republican and the Democrat, ANY
of those other nut groups, the Limboterrans, the Reaffirmers, the Grim
Party, who cares, but what would happen if like in Minnesota, NOBODY
VOTED for ANY Republican or ANY Democrat. The worst thing that would
happen would be that slightly different warring coalitions of lying
Pink bastards would be in office.
