Libertarians, My Libertarians!
Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas -- unlike some people . This Breitbart fellow (discussed in the link above), by all appearances, deliberately doctored a video of Shirley Sherrod to make her remarks appear virulently racist, when they had, in fact, the opposite import. I heard that at a recent Austrian conference, some folks were talking about "Callahan's conservative turn." While that description is not entirely inaccurate, I must say that a lot of these people who today call themselves conservative give me the heebie-jeebies.
I see it as some sort of mental affliction, can't quite tell if it is yet an identifiable disease. I love info and whatnot, but one cannot help but notice that everybody around them has their face in their phone.

ReplyDeleteEscuse me, who's Tom?
ReplyDeleteKnapp. He once asserted here that only 1% of Americans did anything with their phones other than make calls.
ReplyDelete?! Does he live by himself in a log cabin in the deep Poconos?
DeleteClose: Arkansas.
DeleteIt's awful, isn't it? To paraphrase you, it's like something out of a Phil Dick novel. I'm not being sarcastic. But it is ironic, that I'm typing this from my galaxy S4.
