Some people say that I use too much profanity. Perhaps. But when I see people out there, not YOU people but THOSE people, I have to say to myself, what the fuck is wrong with them or, they must shit for brains or, if I want to be nice, I would say, what is wrong with them?
Could it be me? Am I the crazy one and all of those people out there are sane? I don’t think so.
In college I was introduced to the concept of ‘the curve’, as it is used by the professor when determining the actual grades to be given. I am not going to explain how it works because by now, you should all be familiar with it. I will say that ‘the curve’ can be applied to just about everything under the sun that can be measured, especially people. When applied to people we will ALWAYS end up up with two lunatic fringes, one on the right and one on, you guessed it, the left. In the middle, and it is a big middle, is where the truth lies. If you have some difficulty following that explanation, let’s try this one: Johnny goes out on a date with Betty, after which he brags to all of his friends that they did EVERYTHING. Betty, on the other hand, confides to her friends that all they did was to HOLD HANDS. The fact is that they both lied and that somewhere in the middle is the truth. Get it?
That explanation should do it, right? Wrong. In reality, the occupants of either of the two lunatic fringes believe that ONLY their fringe is the way to everlasting peace and a job that pays more than the minimum wage and God help you if you don’t agree with them.
Take for instance the nut cases who obsess on religion, any kind of religion. Like the neighbor next door who brags that his dog is bigger than your dog, so it is with his or her religion because their God is bigger and more powerful than your God. And what’s more, if you don’t agree with them, they will kill you.
There are a lot of people who feel that religion, all religions, came about because of and at a time way back when people did not know what caused lightning and thunder. And what’s strange about this phenomenon called religion is that all of the enmity and hatred between the various religions did not exist until after Jesus Christ.
And then there are those present day nut cases in ISIS who have to destroy valuable and sometimes priceless works of antiquity that cannot be duplicated because they are supposedly anathema to their way of thinking. Crazy, right? Well, you no longer have to travel half way around the world to see this because it is now happening in your own back yard. I’m talking about what happened in Charlotesville, which is only the tip of the iceberg.
Before continuing, a word or two about our own home grown Hitler wannabees. I don’t know if it’s true but I’ve heard from some internationally known psychiatrists that this syndrome of blind hatred towards everyone else, those who are not part of or who do not believe in their ideology, is due to the indisputable fact that they can’t get it up and that they have teeny-weeny peckers.
Now that we have established that, let’s continue. You may have noticed that certain segments of our population are developing into bona-fide dickheads. Who? The new age assholes and deniers who want to change our history because they don’t like it. They don’t like it because it reminds them that our founding fathers may not have been perfect. Why? Because they condoned slavery and they may even had owned a few here and there. Some of them may even have had conjugal relations with their slaves. Can you imagine that? That is part of our history, the good, the bad and the ugly, and you can’t change it no matter what. And who is it that wants to redact part of our history? For the most part it is white people who don’t have anything better to do. You don’t see too many black people out there acting like fools.
However, because I always want to the right thing, I am making this special offer to all of those people who want to erase all vestiges of slavery in our country. Since all of our currency has on its face the image of some old white guy who not only condoned slavery but practiced it as well, I want you to take ALL of your $1, $10, $20, $50 and $100 bills ( I did not include the $5 bill as that one has Abraham Lincoln on its face. In case you didn’t know, he freed the slaves), and send them to me and I will take care of the problem for you, at no charge. Do not include any coinage as it becomes too heavy when dealing in large sums.
