Don't lose any sleep over it. We all have our bad days! I had a "bad day" last night actually. Take care.

I'm Feeling Frustrated...
..and perhaps a bit juvenile.
I dunno. Sometimes I want to smack people upside the head because what I am hearing them say is so completely ignorant it flummoxes me. Perhaps because I was there once and I have yet to make peace with my own inner cretin.
Being reasonable and repeating the same facts, over and over again, gets old for me. I've been screaming, proverbially, since before I was laid off from my job back in 2002. Hell, I was onto this guy back in the Summer of 2000 when I saw a story get pulled from national television where George Senior explained that his son wasn't the most qualified candidate for President. YANK. Once something like that hits CNN, it is very hard to pull it back. But they did. And NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, picked it up. They even pulled it off of Nexus (back when I had an account). Scary.
Evil is just a sickness like any other mental illness. It comes from hanging around in a bag of water with all the other little bags of water waiting to process out for a dirt nap. It comes from contemplating all of the things that you will have to give up valuing positively before you die...and remembering distinctly how much promise life held for you when you were just a child. What happened? Well, it must have been unspeakably cruel, no?
Such is the world according to the 5 senses. Opposites and opposition are required for anything to even register in them. And so the entire mind bends around them and begins to think in binary terms. Totalities and eternities become unfathomable. And Lucifer is born.
Luciferianism is really what the Skull and Bones crowd is actually about. These cats date back to well before the Masons. They were the first scribes and the first ones to sit down with pen to paper and discover that they were suffering from a serious case of, "you gotta be kidding me?" This place can't be it. And yet, it appears to be. So these cats took that simple fact and ran with it. No higher order principles need apply. No horseshit, no more bullshit...if I can't perceive it, it ain't happening.
In that attenuated universe the only ethical system that makes sense is Machiavellianism. Plain and simple.
Now I can have a conversation with someone like this. Someone who has a clear grasp of their plight and its depressing characteristics.
I have this compulsion to beat my head against the wall with people who LIVE in this question and yet make a lifestyle out of chasing it out of their own heads. They live a lie and it is only a simple shift in perspective that would trigger their own salvation from themselves. And yet they prefer to live in fear and terror.
Yawn. This is what happens when I take myself too seriously.

I commented on one of your other posts, as I did agree with you on some of the nuances of the Conservative Party.
But as for this post; I may agree with you that Bush has made some wrong decisions in his policies and actions, and it's possible that maybe this country does need a change. But to be calling him evil incarnate, well that does sound just a bit juvenile, no?
If you want to rant on what he has or hasn't done for this country, well that's one thing. Calling people evil because it is another. Haven't we all had enough of that already?
