2/06/2003 03:03:00 AM | Jared Alessandroni Conservatives Together It could be argued that the very nature of the thought process - being conservative - doesn't allow for dissent. In fact, easily. Jon, read my post. My gripe wasn't about AIDS, it was about an inability to see beyond the Fox view of the world. I didn't say that they didn't die for a scientific cause, I said that the reason people care doesn't have anything to do with that. Why are you so angry about my posts against the diefication of these men and women? Your argument about no one caring about no one bothering or whatever blathering crap you were aiming to express has nothing to do with my point that our focus is unfortunately misguided. These people died living their dream - good. Who cares if they took more risk? Doesn't that mean it should be less likely for a bunch of overly dramatic half-wits to go teary over them? I mean, how is it more tragic that they guy who stood in the empty field got hit by lightning, than the one who was in his car? Your elephant example is just inane. And, I never said that my position was unique. You, our friends at the Dartlog, and our peer from Cornell are all happily adding context to my posts, but yes, most societies care about symbols, and demagogues running the country? No, I couldn't imagine that... The gentleman from Cornell is actually the initial owner of this site, he set it up with Laura, in case you're wondering how he's associated to this Blog. But, as for your dramatic and excessive post, I regret that you won't respond with another, final post on the subject, answering the original question that my post was meant to bring up. Why doesn't it suck that people are so obsessed with symbols? Your sort of immature wonderings on my opinions of the masses, your inane rhetorical question, maybe...the priorities of those are just as noble.... What crap. I never said they didn't have other priorities, just that it sucks that they care so much more about symbols than other, logically unless you have star-envy, more important events. Either way, get over your astronauts - enjoy the fact that you and your Review friends agree that a few lucky people are much more important than thousands of others, even when you have the advantage of having it on your mind that else may be the case. And, I'm sorry for this personal - I mean ad hominem - slight - I just couldn't get over your bidding of goodnight and then your final negative comparison between ourselves or myself at least and the Reviewers. Bloggers, readers, I bid you goodnight. Unless I'm so so so angry..., oh, I just can't let it go... oh oh oh. perma link |
