I agree with this. At the risk of sounding like a luddite, the Internet made a lot of this possible.

All that's really changed is the degree, and I suppose, that it's reached the point where more people are noticing it.
Despite intense replies, on occasion, I try to find the joke in just about everything - putting off the inevitability of going postal.
Oh yeah - the ignorant embracing the stupid - it's so "in your face" these days.

On occasion you try to find the joke?
Or
On occasion you reply intense?
But... either way... being you? both look like a bit nicely exagerated, don't you think?

Just what I need. Another critic. Another ing critic.
I suggest you re-examine my bio. "I have done things".
I didn't say I what, and,
I didn't say I have stopped . . .

I can't reply to your post without going into political territory.
You have caught me at quite the disadvantage.
Suffice it to say, not everyone agrees with your thinking/beliefs, including myself.

I thought about that after I wrote it actually. Social commentary and political commentary are very much related beasts. You *almost* can't have one without the other, but you can tread just so I think. We'll see if Chris and company agree. I think he will or I wouldn't have wrote it.
I don't expect everyone would agree. But I expected more to see people disagreeing over who that citizen was.
Still again, hard to talk about without waxing political. The machinations of man as a social animal fascinate me, and it was in that spirit that I made the comment, agree or disagree.

To agree or disagree I should firstly really understand what you are trying to say, and in this very moment I can't... and knowing myself, I don't think I will re-read your post later or another day to try it again...

Somehow I think you should have worked the whining (by he privileged) into it.

Your post sounds interesting but I haven't a clue what you are talking about.
Just be yourself?

Note to me: Read the whole post before answering...
That's pretty much the same I wrote a couple of messages above.

See Rudyard Kipling's 'The Gods of the Copybook Headings'. He's not very popular these days, but some of his poems are timeless.

Strong men create good times.
