Please, God, forgive me [us] for making fun of these “people “. I [we] know it is wrong. But then again, their silliness can be gist for some reasonable thought – as hard as that is to believe…
As noted below, yesterday we hit a daily view record. This happened with the likely help of a conservative blog sewer at which some of us used to post. This blog is the frequent subject of comments there. The “people” there contend that we don’t post there because we are “close-minded”. This accusation comes from “thinking humans” who contend the planet earth is 8,000 years old, that global climate change is some liberal ploy to deny them their SUV’s, and that the government exists to attempt to deny them access to their firearms. Don’t these “thoughts” sound like material one could naturally be drawn to?
In regard to one blogger there [oko], I used to contend that if she had a half-way responsible family, they’d do an intervention and take her keyboard away. But, I think it is likely they would rather hear her keyboard clicking up in that locked attic room over hearing her incoherent yelling and slobbering. Another open-minded confederacy apologizing fool, abandoned a friendship of his because the offending party had the gall to post on this blog – doesn’t he sound like a “friend” one would hate to lose. The list of idiotic ravings and rantings could go on and on… But hopefully, these examples provide a window into what I am talking about.
I am recalling the words of a supervisor who once told me, “When those folks disagree with me, I know I am on the right track.” I believe today, that I know what he was talking about…
* This occurs in the Bible, Job 10:15 (King James Version) in the form ‘woe unto me’.
Job is one of the oldest books in the Old Testament, early versions of which date from about 1200BC, making the phrase in the original language 3,200 years old. The first occurrence of it in English would have been Wycliffe’s Bible translation in 1382.
