Mikey wins comment of the year and it's only the middle of January:
*Sigh*
I dunno. Is it just me? I’m tired. Tired of going over the same ground, again and again. Tired of mindless syncophantic creatures slinging the same crap over the same transom day in and day out. Maybe they’ve outlasted me. There’s just no way to make them live in reality, respond to real events and require real knowledge.
How long are we going to have to keep responding to the same mindless drivel? At what point will we no longer have to respond seriously to the same idiocy we were subjected to almost four years ago? Why is it that political blogs, an exciting and democratizing advance in public discoourse, have turned into some kind of low IQ Groundhog Day?
I’m tired of it. The facts are in. I no longer want to banter with cretins and mongoloids over the criminality, cruelty and blatent illegality of Iraq, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo. A long time ago I learned the futility of getting up every morning and grinding my face against the same brick wall. And while we piss on each other, arguing about how many WMDs can dance on the head of a pin, people are dying, real people, not Aces and Drudges and O’Reillys and mikeys.
Honestly. Please. Is there a way to move this discussion forward? Must it remain stuck in 2003? Can we stipulate to something, ignore a few idiots, try to get most of the people, for a few precious minutes, talking about something important? I’m old, tired, sick, and working on drunk. But I’m just not sure what all this leads to, y’know? Talk about fiddling while Rome burns, Mister Nero. It’s like we’re complicit in a way. By engaging in nonsense rhetoric while they end civilization on our watch, we seem to be letting the Rodeo Clowns of the Apocalypse get everybody’s attention on the shiny pony of 2003. And no, I have no idea what to do about it. But I’m ready to desert, or surrender, or something equally humilliating, because I just don’t seem to be making a contribution here…
