Don't hate, discombobulate · 6:43pm Mar 20th, 2012
"Power, Money, Persuasion, Supplication, Persecution--these can lift at a colossal humbug,--push it a little-- crowd it a little--weaken it a little, century by century: but only Laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of Laughter nothing can stand." -Mark Twain
Don't hate on idiocies, trivialities, humbugs, trend-following, miasma, horror and the darkened souls of easily-led sheep whose conceptions of the world begin and end with an anarchic playground of destruction. I have learned the lesson well. Don't hate them. Laugh at them! Giggle at those ghosties.
Mock them, shame them, humiliate them, confuse them, confound them, cut their philosophical legs off at the knee with quick irreverences when they attempt high-falutin' passive-aggression or arrogant assertions of knowing the future. But don't hate. Hate in your heart if you want, that's your right. But when it comes out, filter it through a system that makes them look bad in the end. Hatred spread and revealed makes YOU look bad. Scalpel-sharp mockery, satire and farce makes THEM look bad. Blow them to atoms and rags if you have the inclination. Make it matter. Make it funny.
"...atoms at a blast..." I think that may have been me letting out wind!
Also FIRST!

You and your blog posts...
You are like a font of intelligence which is constantly being filled by a hosepipe of information, causing the waters of pondering to cascade down upon us, the tiny elves who live at the base of the font, lapping at the drops of reason and philosophy that fall from the rim of your mind!
... EXTENDED METAPHOR!

I do not mean to be abstruse but I so rarely blog at all. So when I do I have to have a really damn good reason and lots of good thoughts.
38408 Abstruse? Not at all! I believe I understood the message conveyed here, and besides, it's always nice to share some intellectual thoughts once in a while. Quality over quantity, and you have shown quality time and again!
