The man makes an excellent point!

Who is it that gets together in mobs and hunts down, tortures and kills people who are different from them? Who is it that teaches modesty, courtesy, and generositv but lives in depravity, rudeness, and greed? Who is it that can gather together the time, energy and money to murder millions and destroy cities for the sake of a flag, deity, or economic system? Not weirdoes, not kooks or cranks or nuts. It's the "Normal" people who do those things.

It's the "Normal" people who believe there's only one "real world" and it's the one THEY'RE living in. It's the "Normal" people who kill each other over differences in that reality, and if someone can't trick themselves into ignoring the millions of inconsistencies or can't gloss over the gaping flaws in that reality-construct, or can't even pretend convincingly that they believe that flimsy and self-contradictory world is ALL TRUE, rather than have their own illusory stability undermined or accept that other ways of thinking and seeing might be valid, the "Normal" people imprison those "mentally ill," and experimentally destroy their personalities by use of drugs, electroconvulsion, and brain surgery.

In other news, Congress is full of liars and child molesters, which sadly doesn't surprise me, and people keep crowing about what they believe so strongly that they just copy and excrete from what other people are telling them to say.

:/

But, on the other hand, the kicker in the MNF game just made a 54 yard field goal, and that was pretty cool.

You know, if Gongress lies it's our fault. We don't vote against them with they lie, particularly when the lie smears someone else with a different idea. We punish people who tell us the trugh when it is a truth we don't want to hear.

Political Scientists have a saying "People get the government they deserve' Maybe you and I deserve better, but we as a nation do not. We could have chosen differently.

Sadly true. I have to admit I'm developing a bad habit of voting against the incumbent on reflex...

For more Bach

BTW, if you want to hear some Bach, come to my church sometime. We do free organ concerts every month or so (I'll be singing Vivaldi in November) and an average Sunday service begins with a Fugue.


And the Music department does it right too:

I may well - I do like Organ music, even if churches and I haven't gotten along in awhile.

I also really just like the Switched On Bach arrangements because they're so deliciously electronically peppy.
