the fact that all the shots missed isn't all that reassuring, is it?
Well, I'm sort of horrified that someone could be that bad a shot [Sox may be the only one who understands where I'm coming from on this point - our fathers were, when their eyes were good - some of the best shots in the US and we were raised with certain expectations] but honestly troubled by the thought that the U would rather stay out of the news than let me know someone with a gun, who isn't afraid to use it, is somewhere nearby.
Yikes, Sparky! That's scary!
I'm going to keep tilting at the stupid windmills on the internets.
You know some people love metaphors and analogies? I'd really rather them not be used, than them be used wrongly. That's not actually how James Bond movies go, sir.
Yikes, Sparky.
So you know that robocall I got election night? [link] It's quite convoluted.
The single thing that worries me most about our future is the trend toward fact-free discourse. Climate change is a hoax. The deficit is because of Obama's new spending. Cutting taxes increases revenue. America has the best health care system in the world. Obama's policies are communist. Iraq was behind 9/11. Scott Brown advocated violence against Martha Coakley. Palin said "I can see Russia from my house". Al Gore said he invented the Internet. So many things flying around are just not true.
That worries me a lot too. I tend to get into my fair share of political arguments, because I, uh have a lot of opinions, and in my experience what tends to happen at the end of the argument is that the other person says to me: "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion."
And then I turn around and say, "Yes. everyone is entitled to their own informed opinion, but no one is entitled to their own facts."
Then they stare at me like I have just lost my mind.
Vortex, I have no thoughts, other than the GC's office is relatively sane. Ears now open, though!
Thanks! They wanted 5 years experience, which I do have, but it's just not called what they want it to be.
