Defending John McCain
Such a fuss over Karl Rove's endorsement of McCain, my in-box is full of links to it, and the emails all say the same thing... blah blah McCain blah conservative blah blah better than obama blah blah vote blah blah McCain blah patriot blah McCain McCain blah blah blah."
It was a moving statement about John McCain and the man he used to be, but as the saying goes, that was then, this is now. What John McCain did so many years ago is not reflective of the man John McCain is today. Today John McCain is someone who fought tooth and nail to block the release of classified POW/MIA documents, and surpressing those documents leaves his brothers in arms lying in hostile land in unmarked graves. On this issue, John McCain is no better than John Kerry, and if any of you so-called conservative republicans want to explain the difference between them, comments are open.
But hey... as long as you're listening to Karl Rove... you should listen to what he said in an interview with GQ magazine just last month...
Rove says Obama's reluctance to wear a flag pin on his lapel may translate as elitism to many blue collar democrats.
"That comment where he [Obama] said, you know, 'After 9/11, I didn't wear a flag lapel pin because true patriotism consists of speaking out on the issues, not wearing a flag lapel pin?’ Well, to a lot of ordinary people, putting that flag lapel pin on is true patriotism. It's a statement of their patriotic love of the country."
"I respect those who consciously get up in the morning and put a flag lapel pin on."
So sayeth Karl Rove. And... many of you conservative republicans said the same, and more, about Obama's failure to wear a flag in his lapel, so... take a look at John McCain on the campaign trail:
Feel free to post your excuses for John McCain in the comments, I could use a little humor right about now.

Its hard to say Happy Birthday
But it is equally hard to let the day pass unnoticed.
Ron Arad was born on May 5, 1958 in Israel. He is the son of Batya and the late Dov Arad, and is the oldest of their three sons. Arad, an air-force navigator in an F-4 Phantom jet, had just completed his first year of chemical engineering at The Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa when he was called up for reserve duty.
On October 16, 1986, while on a mission over southern Lebanon, Lieutenant Colonel Ron Arad and his pilot were forced to parachute out of their Phantom jet due to a technical problem. While the pilot was rescued in a daring helicopter raid, Arad fell captive to terrorists belonging to the Amal organization.
About a year after his capture, Israel received photographs and letters from Arad’s captors.
Mustafa Dirani, the Amal security chief who allegedly captured Ron Arad when his plane crashed in Lebanon, reportedly broke away from the terrorist group in 1987, taking Arad with him. It is believed that Dirani then "sold" Arad to either Hizbullah or Iranian elements.
According to Israeli newspaper Yediot Aharonot, as recently as 2003, three former Iranian diplomats and intelligence officials living in Europe claimed that Ron Arad is alive and being held in a prison near Tehran.
These reports cannot be verified.
One of them claimed that Arad was being held in a secret, heavily-guard prison near Tehran in the late 1990's. He claimed that he had access to Arad's files, saw Arad several times, and even exchanged words with him.
According to this Iranian, Arad tried to escape from his captivity while in Lebanon and was shot and wounded by his guards. He claims that in mid 1994, Arad was transferred via Syria to Iran. He claims that before being transferred, Arad underwent an operation to paralyze his legs in order to prevent him from escaping, and that as a result, Arad is confined to a wheelchair. He also claimed that Arad was hospitalized twice for heart problems.
Twenty years later, we know nothing about the fate of Ron Arad.
Or do we?
Nick Berg's body was found decapitated on May 8, 2004 on a Baghdad overpass by a U.S. military patrol. Berg's family was informed of his death on May 10. Military sources stated publicly at that time that Berg's body showed "signs of trauma", but did not disclose that he had been decapitated.
On May 11, 2004, the website of the militant Islamist group Muntada al-Ansar [6] allegedly broadcast a video with the opening title of "Abu Musa'b al-Zarqawi slaughters an American", which supposedly shows Berg being decapitated.
Is Nick Berg dead? Yes, and likely beheaded afterwards, but is the man seen in the beheading video Nick Berg?
Journalist Jamie Francis of the St. Petersburg Times ran into Nick at a gym in Baghdad's old Jewish quarter less than a month before this video was released. Nick was a regular at the gym and well known by its owner. Francis described Nick's ivory skin and thin red beard, adding that Nick looked the part of a construction worker, and spoke of Nick's muscular build.
The victim in the video does not have ivory skin or a red beard, he is not muscular at all, is much smaller than Nick Berg and he looks nothing like Nick Berg. However, he does look a lot like Ron Arad.
Question: How do you know an islamist is lying?
Answer: His lips are moving.
The victim in the video did not stand up or even move his legs through anything that was happening. He sat on the floor, legs bent at the knees. When they flipped him over sideways, his legs did not move, the body just fell onto the floor. This lead some to believe that the victim was heavily sedated, however, this is consistent with reports that Arad had been disabled to prevent escape.
The quality of the movie is not consistent with today's technology, and voice-overs cannot be confirmed. The sound could easily have been dubbed over. Despite the lies perpetuated by CNN, the voice over on the video has been confirmed as Zarqawi.
Coincidentally, Arad was in news at the time of the release of the beheading video. His remains were being used as a negotiation tool by Hezbullah, who were seeking an exchange of live terrorists for his remains. Israeli intelligence and defense officials have said that another purpose of the recent spate of media reports on Arad is to try to remove Iran from the picture. Hezbullah of course is Iran's hit squad.
The same day the execution video was posted on the internet, Hezbullah announced they had located Ron Arad's grave in Lebanon. A short time later, they handed over a piece of bone supposedly that of Ron Arad's. The bone was proved to be fake a few days later.
I don't believe in coincidence. Remember, these are the same people who released photos of a toy marine, claiming to have captured another member of the U.S. Military.
I believe Nick Berg is dead, I believe that Ron Arad is dead. What I do not believe is that Nick Berg was the man in the video, I believe that man was Ron Arad. I believe the video was made years ago, and withheld to be released at an opportune time. I believe that eventually, it was decided that a "Ron Arad" beheading was less valuable than a "Nick Berg" beheading and that the timing of the release of the video was a "crime of opportunity." As Moshe Dyan once said, "The Arabs will never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity."
I am not alone in my beliefs. You may look at the pictures, look at the video and draw your conclusion.
We may never know the truth behind the video.
When I think about Nick Berg and Ron Arad, I cannot help but think of Johnny "Mike" Spann who was attacked by a mob of Islamist prisoners and beaten to death, his body full of bites as though animals had been tearing at his flesh.
Know thy enemy.

The Art of Corruption
Ha’aretz claims that their probe indicates that the current Olmert investigation revolves around Olmert using his position to help promote his wife’s artwork and art career.
After looking at Aliza "art," it seems more likely that Joe's wife is right, its a case of easy campaign finance, or... buy the politician's wife’s artwork in exchange for favors.

Don't turn away, look
horror unbelievable, yet true.
To deny the Holocaust is the moral equivalent of taking upon yourself personal responsibility for it, as if you yourself participated in committing these atrocities against mankind.

Hungry?
How about some gourmet chinese food?
Doesn't that look yummy!
A visit to the Guolizhuang Restaurant in Beijing is not for the faint-hearted. Here the menu consists almost entirely of penis and testicle dishes.
The photo above is a house specialty, "Henry's Whip," featuring sheep penis on stick, covered in mayonnaise and sweet cheese, served on a bed of lettuce.
Not to your taste? Well, you could order the sheep testicles on a bed of curry, or perhaps you'd prefer donkey penis served on a bed of lettuce:
There's also yak penis, dog penis (served with a cherry on top) or "a hotpot with 10 different penis-and-testicle selections served on an attractive, four-sided plate tower with little statues of animals," as well as "deer, snakes, horses, seals and ducks, among others."
If you decide on the dog penis, be sure to keep the bone. Its supposed to bring luck and protect the holder against "harmful influences."
Where's PETA when you need them?
UPDATE: OMG! They got me again!

Never Again?
In South Florida, it's here we go again...
Last week, a Chabad Synagogue in Miami Beach was burned to the ground, and last nght, a Chabad Synagogue in Parkland was defaced with swastikas.
On Wednesday, a Jewish schoolboy was the first to see three swastikas spray-painted on the Chabad of Parkland synagogue building at 7170 Loxahatchee Road. Someone also had spray painted "4 Hitler" on a nearby stop sign.
Last week, the Chabad of Miami Beach in South Beach burned to the ground.
Both incidents occurred during or just before significant dates in the Jewish calendar. The Miami Beach synagogue burned down during Passover. Vandals struck in Parkland just before Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day.
I've been to Chabad of Parkland, although it has been several years, and I was in Parkland just last June, to attend services for Pfc. Daniel Agami, who was killed while patrolling Iraq. Daniel's family were members of Chabad of Parkland.
To its credit, the Broward Sheriff's Office wasted no time in calling the parkland incident what it was, an "offensive hate crime of malicious vandalism." Meanwhile, the FBI had to be cajoled into an investigation of the Miami Beach incident, and it still refuses to call the torching of Chabad on Miami Beach a hate crime.
There can be no doubt that, as it moves further and further to the left, this Country is becoming more and more unfriendly to Jewish people. Despite the attempts by law enforcement to cover up these hate crimes by classifying them as vandalism, we Jews see them for what they are.
I take these attacks personally, I take all attacks on all Jews personally because I know what they lead to:
Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day.
In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever-approaching thunder, which will destroy us too. I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.
In the meantime, I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.
Anne Frank, Diary of a Young Girl, entry for Saturday, July 15, 1944
Never Again is being drowned out by "Chrad al Yahood" and I take that personally too. It means, kill the Jews, and when they say it, they mean to kill me, and my family. Like Anne, I see the wilderness coming too, and yes, even here, in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, I hear the thunder.
The photograph above was taken at the Holocaust Memorial on Miami Beach, Florida.

Reason #9438272874859
Why I don't watch television:
CBS’s Simon to Israeli Air Force Pilot: ‘You Don't Look Like a Killer’
On Sunday’s CBS "60 Minutes," anchor Bob Simon talked to members of the Israeli Air Force and asked one pilot, Captain Omri, about air strikes in the Gaza strip in which civilians occasionally are killed:
It's a classic guerilla war. Fifty dollar rockets made in the back alleys of Gaza against Israel's $50,000 missiles. The Israelis will tell you that kind of expense buys precise weapons which limit collateral damage. But it also gives the air force the capability of assassinating their enemy's leadership. The Israelis call this "targeted killings"; the Palestinians call it murder. Have you hit any targets?
Simon then went on to say to Omri: "But I must tell you, your face, your manners, your demeanor, you don't look like a killer. And yet what you do a lot of the time when you're over Gaza, you're killing." The pilot responded: "I agree. I don't think I'm a killer. When I look at my face in the mirror, I don't see a killer."
What would you expect from a man who yearns to recapture the days when he was held hostage and beaten by those who imprisoned him because he found the experience to be more intense than taking drugs?
He's more than just a moron, he's a friggin' moron.

Miami Beach Synagogue Torched
Chabad synagogue in Miami torched
Synagogue's rabbi recounts: Individuals broke into synagogue, tore Torah books to pieces and torched them
Ze'ev Katz, the synagogue's head rabbi, recounted the event on one of Chabad's internet websites, saying that a number of individuals broke into the empty synagogue, took the Torah books from the cabinet, tore them to pieces, and set them on fire.
The damage. (Photo: Shtoram.net)Katz said the view of the burned synagogue was dismal. Miami police have commenced investigations.
Chabad rabbis in the US assumed that the purpose of the attack was to target areas in which large amounts of Chabad Jews gather outside of Israel. The rabbis also said that the majority of anti-Semitic activity that takes place in the US is perpetrated by the Muslim community.
This is not the first time a Synagogue has been torched in Miami Beach, last October another was damaged by fire, but it was deemed to be an accident. Swastikas and anti-Jewish statements spray painted outside a Yeshiva, just a few blocks from my home in North Miami Beach, last year was deemed to be youthful vandalism.
The FBI agreed to investigage, but they don't want to call this torching a hate crime - yet. Maybe they will, but likely, they won't.
I can't possibly express all of the things I am feeling about this right now.
Shabbat Services will be held on the lawn tomorrow, join us if you are able.
And, if you are so inclined, you can donate to help us rebuild.

Success
This is reason # 9483628 why I'm glad I gave up television:
I don't want to watch former conservative leaders making fools of themselves as they shift their position further left and pander to the loony liberals. It turns my stomach.
I have always been a fan of Newt Gingrich. A personalized, autographed copy of his book, Winning the Future, has been propped up in a place of honor on my bookshelf for years, right next to a framed photograph of the two of us taken the day he signed it. Over the weekend, I felt an urge to do a bit of redecorating... the book and the photograph are now out of sight.
They ended up in a box at the top of my closet, the box where things go that once meant so much to me, things that I am now done with. Its not a big box, and because I'm not quitter, its not a full box. But I don't tilt at windmills, and when I'm done with something, well, I'm done.
The items in the box include the framed gold embossed ticket to the George "you're with us or against us" Bush fundraiser I attended in 2004, that went in the box the day after Bush strolled around the Rose Garden hand in hand with his pet terrorist, Mahmoud Abbas. Also in the box, the coffee mug bearing the words "I blog for Fred" that used to hold the pens on my desk, inside that is the "I'm With Fred" button that I used to wear on my lapel. And as I put the top back on the box, and pushed it into the farthest and deepest corner at the top of my closet, I realized that the box holds one additional item, the part of me that is was a political activist.
I am disgusted, disgusted with politicians, political parties and the political process in this Country. I don't want to be a part of it anymore. Its hard to tell what the straw was that broke my back, it was not the video above, that was just the icing on the cake, but it may have been an accidental click on a button that used to be on my website and one word. It could very well be that in the end, it took just one word to change the course of my life, and to kill that part of me that believed in the political process in this country. One word, floating on my computer screen, on an otherwise pristine page at a political website put up to support a candidate I believed in. One word:
If you clicked on the picture, then you too now know what that one word is.
Fred Thompson is using one word to describe the results of his run for president, and if you haven't looked, that one word is "success." Yes, Fred Thomspson considers his "campaign" to be a "success." Its a strange word to use for what is an abject failure, and it reveals exactly what the goals of Fred Thompson's "candidacy" really was, to muddy the waters and to allow John McCain to emerge from the sludge with the nomination. That is Fred Thompson's "success."
Congratulations to you, Fred, on your successful manipulation of conservative voters, and your successful manipulation of the political process. Congratulations! You used conservatives to help a liberal win the republican nomination. Thank you, Fred, you lying manipulative bastard, thank you for taking my money under false pretenses, for playing a game with the future of this country and for making a fool out of me and every other conservative who believed in the political process and who believed in your lying ass. Thank you, and fuck you!
Thanks in part to you Fred, here we are in 2008, in the midst of the run up to the presidential election, and all three "frontrunners" for the presidency are loony liberal nutjobs.
This is what the republicans have given us this year and I don't know about you, but I'm reminded of Johnny Rotten's words at the end of the last Sex Pistols concert... "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?"
Damn right, I feel cheated.
The bottom line is... when it comes to the issues that matter, the issues that will effect how we live our lives here in the United States of America, the only real difference between the three candidates is their stated position on the war, all of them are loony friggin liberals. I have to wonder, will there be anything left of this country after the war?
There can be no doubt that this country is in an economic crisis that is exacerbated by Al Gore's pseudo science global warming nonsense. Its getting worse every day. I'm not going to bother with links to prove this, forget about what you're paying for a gallon of gas and look at what you're paying for a gallon of milk and a box of corn flakes. You don't need links to see how much your grocery bill has gone up.
Ask yourself, are you willing to accept the coming "global warming" backlash? Its bad enough now, what will it be like when our next president implements mandatory carbon credits? The first victims will be the evil corporations because "they can afford it," except... they won't have to afford it. They will cut staff and raise prices, they'll pass it down to the consumer to pay via higher prices, and guess what? We are the consumer.
How many jobs will be lost due to downsizing and corporations closing because they simply cannot continue to do business? After hitting the corporations, well then... its on to the city and state, and the increased taxes for carbon use that will certainly raise taxes, your taxes. Where do you really think that money is going to come from?
Don't like the cost of gas now? Forget about using our resources, there will be no drilling for oil around here and just wait till they hit us with a fifty-cent carbon surcharge per gallon. All three candidates support it and therefore, its going to happen. Add that to the increased cost of living and increased taxes. Add that to higher unemployment due to downsizing and closed business and the resulting lower wages, and ask yourself, how much can this country take?
Well, I sure hope that, on top of all that carbon credit global warming bullshit, this country can take a major hike in taxes, it doesn't matter which of the three gets in, your taxes are going up because all three of them think they should. Never mind that McCain now says he is for the Bush tax cuts, he'd like for you to forget that he sided against them with the democrats and he voted against them in the Senate.
I sure hope that this country can take on the costs of supporting millions and millions of illegal aliens because the three of them are all about open borders, and amnesty for the criminal hordes. I hope you don't mind being one of the hundreds of thousands of victims of illegal aliens committing car thefts, insurance fraud, driving while drunk with no license and, oh yeah, identity theft.
I hope you don't mind being one of the 13 Americans killed every day by illegal aliens on our highways or one of the 12 Americans killed every day by illegal aliens wielding guns and knives and baseball bats. I hope you don't mind being one of the victims of the 618,000 convicted illegal alien felons languishing in our prisons and I hope you don't mind paying for the police to catch them, the courts to try them and their incarceration to the tune of $1.6 billion annually.
I hope you don't mind being one of the 16,000 new cases of tuberculosis, or one of the 7,000 new cases of leprosy, or one of the countless thousands of cases of hepatitis, Dengue Fever, Chagas Disease, new AIDS cases or one of the thousands of other diseases brought across our borders and transmitted to us by illegal aliens.
I hope you don't mind paying $1.75 billion annually for anchor babies, and $2.45 billion in K-12 annually educating those babies. I hope you don't mind being one of 10,468,150 people who lost their skilled jobs to an illegal alien who is willing to work for less. They're not all picking tomatoes yannow.
I hope you don't mind the 93 sex offenders and 12 serial sexual offenders coming across U.S. borders illegally every day and I sure hope one of your loved ones will not suffer through one of the 130,909 sex crimes committed annually by illegal aliens.
Worried about the War on Terror? Good, because you should be. I know I am, and I also know that closing GITMO and bringing terrorists here into the United States prison system will bring jihad to the streets of America and if you think it won't, you must be a fool as well as a liberal.
Our prison system is already fertile breeding ground for jihad, angry violent black men are converting to islam by the thousands each and every day. One by one, they will be released into the streets of America.
If you tried to think of the perfect way to make that situation worse, you might come up with a plan to close GITMO and put those hardened and experienced terrorists into our prison system, men for whom jihad is not just ideology but a life style, terrorists who are familiar with the ways to wage war on civilians. Brilliant idea, isn't it, to give these hardened and experienced terrorists a captive audience made up of angry, violent, hate-filled American citizens and the opportunity to recruit and train and initiate them into Jihad, and to then release the new converts into the streets of American where they can disappear into the criminal underground, convert other Americans, and wage jihad on us all.
McCain, Obama and Hillary want to close down Gitmo and give terrorists access to our prison system and all of them are against using aggressive interrogation tactics to find out when and where the next terrorist attack might be. I hope you are not one of the victims in the next attack, but someone will be, in fact, many someones will be.
Do these ideas sound good to you? I hope so, because no matter who emerges victorious in November, America will have the liberal agenda shoved down our throats.
All you people out there who support McCain as being better than Hillary or Obama, please stop telling me he is “the official new leader of the conservative movement in America.” If you believe that's what he is, well then, I guess you have been holding your nose for so long that you have forgotten what a conservative smells like.
Its your right to pull that lever come November and vote for the liberal agenda. I just hope you're ready to suffer the consequences.
But me, well, I can't help but think about what the consequences will be if this liberal agenda is put into place by a republican.
I have to ask myself, "What's worse, a moderate seeming Republican President who can garner support for the liberal agenda.....or a wild eyed Leftist who cannot?"
When it comes to that liberal agenda, McCain will be more successful at putting those things in place than Obama, or even Hillary. Why? Well, McCain, as a perceived "moderate republican," will be able to garner support from the party republicans and the moderate democrats in Congress. They will back him, whereas they would likely view Obama and/or Hillary as extremist and fight them.
After four years of liberal rule by a republican president, what do think our chances will be 2012? Make no mistake, if the horrors of a liberal agenda come to pass under McCain, it will be deemed the failed policies of the republicans. A liberal agenda put in place by a republican will destroy any chances we have to stop this insanity in 2012.
On the other hand, an extremist democrat would not garner the same level of support and will likely have to fight every step of the way. That's a good thing. And, if its Hillary or Obama who implement some, or even all of these policies, then yes, America will still suffer but it will be an obvious liberal democrat at fault and not a liberal in conservative clothing.
If McCain is successful, it will be a deemed a republican presidential fiasco and leave us holding the bag in the next election cycle. Holding that bag is likely to mean that rather then four years, we will have eight, and maybe twelve years of liberal rule. If Obama or Hillary are successful, well... then America will see what comes of socialist thinking, appeasement and the liberal agenda, put in place by a democrat. Then, we might get things straightened out in 2012.
I won't be voting for McCain in November, and I won't be voting for Hillary or Obama either. This one will have to be decided without me because I don't vote for liberal democrats, I never have and I never will.

Lynchings in Congo as penis theft panic hits capital
KINSHASA (Reuters) - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.
Rumours of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure.
"You just have to be accused of that, and people come after you. We've had a number of attempted lynchings. ... You see them covered in marks after being beaten," Kinshasa's police chief, Jean-Dieudonne Oleko, told Reuters on Tuesday.
Police arrested the accused sorcerers and their victims in an effort to avoid the sort of bloodshed seen in Ghana a decade ago, when 12 suspected penis snatchers were beaten to death by angry mobs. The 27 men have since been released.
"I'm tempted to say it's one huge joke," Oleko said.
"But when you try to tell the victims that their penises are still there, they tell you that it's become tiny or that they've become impotent. To that I tell them, 'How do you know if you haven't gone home and tried it'," he said.
YCMTSU!

Why I love the Marines:
It was filmed in Fallujah, Iraq and it kinda makes ya feel good all over don't it?
I spotted that at Theodore's World and shamelessly stole it to post here. Thanks Wild Thing, that was wonderful.

No clear winner emerged
from the Annual Holy Frond Fight in Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre:

Israeli police rushed into Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre to break up fist fights between dozens of Greek and Armenian worshippers on Orthodox Palm Sunday, witnesses said. Some 20 officers intervened after Armenian worshippers threw a Greek Orthodox priest out of the church, sparking a free-for-all, they said.
Several worshippers then started beating the police officers with palm fronds they were holding for the Palm Sunday celebrations that mark the return of Jesus to the Holy City a week before he was crucified.
After the incident, dozens of members of Jerusalem's Armenian community marched from the church to the Old City's police headquarters in protest at the detention of two Armenians.
Brawls are not uncommon at the church, which is shared by various branches of Christianity, each of which controls and jealously guards part of site -- considered one of the holiest in Christianity.
Precisely in order to prevent such disturbances, two Muslim families have been entrusted for the past 800 years with opening and closing the gates of the church, a cavernous labyrinth of chapels and crypts built on the site where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified and buried.
Over 800 years of brawling in church, now that's what I call tradition. Really, it just wouldn't be Easter without it!

How demented is this?
From Salon.com's Advice Column:
She's decided not to have a child because she can't know in advance whether or not the child would want to exist. Makes you wonder what she's been smoking, doesn't it? On a demented scale of 1 to 10, I'd give that thought process a 15, however, the psychobabble she got in reply might be worthy of a 16...
[This] implies that many other things we create may also take their revenge on us in ways we do not understand: that novels may refuse to be sold or read and paintings may refuse to be seen, that music may refuse to be played properly and movies refuse to be shown. It might explain why so many works of art seem to find such poor fates: They are taking revenge on their creators. They did not want to exist in the first place. They resent us. They laugh at us. They scorn our pitiable attempts to create beauty. They show each other their scars, like cosmetic surgery victims in the waiting room of torts attorneys. Perhaps they despise us for our hubris, too, for acting like gods so poorly, for not knowing our limits.
Yannow, she went to the wrong place for answers. She should have come to me:
No. Other people do not think that way. Do the world a favor, put down the bong for a moment and give some consideration to the needs and wants of those of us already here, those of us who would really prefer that people like you did not procreate. We would be eternally grateful if you would stick to that very good decision to stay the heck out of the gene pool. Lord knows its polluted enough. Oh... and by the way, please stay the heck out of the voting booth as well.
sheesh. If stupidity were painful, I know at least three people who would be in agony.
