On . . .
So, I’ve been gone awhile. Sorry about that. My bad. But I’m back, so you can all stop your bitching, and your shameful stares, and your “At least someone updates their site.” In other news, I’m maybe thinking about updating my website maybe sometime in the near future. Something big. Not sure what. To BeginI have recently begun to formulate the basic rules of people in large groups. First of all, most of them all absolutely nuts. Take for example the pro-lifers. They put up giant billboards that show fetuses and then tell us that that’s when life begins. They think that this will accomplish something. They think that someone will be driving by in their car, glance over at the sign, and have a life changing revelation that will cause them to slam on the brakes just so they can finish reading the gospel according to billboards. Then there’s a multi-car pile-up on the freeway, resulting in the death of nine people, and where does tthat leave us? Laughing, that’s where.Then, there’s the pro-choice people. They say that it’s a woman’s right to chose, completely ignoring the opposing viewpoint that it’s killing a baby. Nice work on that. At least they aren’t running around an abortion clinic and yelling at the top of their lungs because someone they don’t know is doing something that they have no rational reason to hate. Always do your research, and if you find some sort of logistical hole, get a way to cover it or make sure it will never ever see the light of day. Kill people if necessary. Another thing that large special intrest groups tend to do is the hide their actual opinions. There are morons who head up a group that hates gays. They have politicains, spokespeople, and senators. They call themselves “pro-family”. Well then. I’m all for families. I don’t hate gays. I have just proven that those two views aren’t mutually exclusive. Maybe you should rename yourselves so people don’t get confused about what you stand for ( on that same note, I’m both pro-life and pro-choice, yet have no concrete views on abortion). One of my theories of large groups is that they will always work in their best intrests, disguising their true intent until such a time comes that they have enough people to peer pressure their way into getting support. This happens out of a wierd sort of idealogical survival of the fittest. Large groups can not take too radical a stance on anything, lest they risk isolating their key demographic. In this respect, large groups will always represent the range of acceptable views within our society (I do mean large, not fringe groups like Furries or the KKK). Which I find sad. The acceptable range thing, not the Furry thing (ah, the drawbacks of parentheses (they are my favorite quotation mark though)). The lesson here (you knew there was one) is that you can’t trust people in large groups, even if they express the same beliefs as you. They may lie *cough*government*cough* or fudge statistics *cough*gay advocacy*cough* or even be outright insane *cough*heaven’s gate*cough* *cough*moonies*cough* *cough*sigil of the new dawn*cough* *cough*hare krishna*cough* . . . ugh . . . is that a hairball?
A side note for those of you who are curious, or like to scroll to the bottom of pages, or who have awoken with their face stuck to the keyboard: Sigil of the New Dawn is not a freaky deaky cult. It's a Magic card. Now you know! |
