Satiday, in the park...I think it wuz the 5th of July....



1. Never make an enemy unnecessarily!
2. You should never waste good karma on fools!
3. The old folks use’ta say that honesty is the best policy and I tend to prefer good policy over bad…’course, that’s a conservative thing so liberals might tend to disgree...

There’s an old, old saying that one should never discuss politics or religion; And I’ve been ackshully surprised to learn that a lot of people not only say that but they actually (see, I c’n spell it after all) practice what they preach….sumtimes, the world is just a dumb-founding place but since there don’t seem t’be a lot of options, well….what’re ya gonna do???
I don’t really discuss religion a lot…I’ve given up on trying to explain that Creationism ’n Evolution are just two sides of the same coin…nowadays, when I get someone who insists that Creationism is for redneck dummies who don’t understand science, especially the science that proves that Evolution trumps all ~ why, I just axe ‘em how in the world anything that wuz never created in the first place manage to evolve….
Anyway, I just hold that Creationism is how you explain the world to children ’n the theory of Evolution is how you explain it to hormone-driven teenagers ’n what comes after, well, I’d just like to hear that story while I’m still looking at the green side of the sod…
I like discussing politics but it gets harder ’n harder because…well, it seems that the liberals just don’t really have the heart for it anymore ’n if you point out sumthin’ that they don’t like, they just scream ’n call names ’n I swear to God that George Bush just cudn’t be responsible for ever’ damn thing that’s gone wrong in this, our Twenti-First Century…not even with the able help of Dick Cheny…it ain’t humanly possible….
Anyway, I wuz recalling two of my favorite people of the last century: William Buckley ’n Gore Vidal, two of the most erudite arguers of their time ’n two men whose intellect wuz so far above mine that I cud’a maybe got out an ‘uh’ or possibly a ‘gah’ but, Lordy, I would’a liked to have tried….
Anyhow, this reverie wuz brought on by the fact that I had to un-friend someone recently…I didn’t p’tick’ly want to but she kind’a insisted so I had no choice...

Happy Birthday to Jim 'n Kit
