I'd probably be happier if i didn't. I could tell these badly informed folks to keep their funny stories to themselves and go away. But when they thrust themselves on others, perhaps less able to defend themselves from stupidity, i feel the need to weigh in and defend their potential for intelligence. <br /><br />I'm a self acknowledged idiot who tries not to make it worse. I'm pretty sure i can't make it better. And sometimes, just to shorten the conversation, i'll point out the historic insignificance of the current foolishness, the unlikeliness of anyone's idea's creating the utopia they advertise. I bang my head against walls because sometimes someone needs me to, and my callouses are sufficient. <br /><br />The dog and pony show has been upgraded with flashy shiny's and everyone's an informed pundit. But everyone was always an armchair quarterback and nobody's changed. Well, i've changed, older, tireder, but dogged still. From my armchair i pontificate with the best of them. I'd apologize for it, but doubt that would help either.<br /><br />olcharliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00309255390011851502noreply@blogger.com
