Things That Confuse the Hell Out
of Me.
Under the truth
in philosophizing laws let me declare up front I view my intelligence as average. That puts me at 5 on a 10-point scale. There would be many who say that is an over
estimation, and there are some who say I might be slightly above. I also recognize in today’s society most
people believe average is 8.5, but that is just one of the things that confuses
me. I am also pretty old (not really old
as some would suggest), but not biologically in tune with all the social media
stuff of today. Although I do use Apple
so I’ve got that hip thing going for me.
Another thing
that confuses me is one of the things I saw on Facebook today. There was a post about some family who had
their son or daughter’s second tweet retweeted by the White House Agenda Twitter
Urgent Provocation Control Center (WHATUP CC) showing their child cross
dressing for Halloween. They were devastated
at the hateful replies their tweet received and as a consequence are voting “against
hate,” I assume this means they are voting for Hillary because lord knows she
is not for hate. What confuses me on
this is a) Twitter is known for its unthoughtful (oft times vitriolic)
responses from people against almost anything they see. b) While enthralled
that their son or daughter’s tweet was rebroadcast by the WHATUP CC they must
have realized at least half the nation thinks anything coming from the WH is
evil, whether it is or not, so what did they think would happen when the WHATUP
CC used their innocent tweet to push its political agenda? c) Why are you exposing your pre-adolescent to
a technology you should know brings out the worst in people? And finally, d) do
you really believe the Democrats and Ms. Clinton are not for hate? Who has sent the violent demonstrators? Who has set two standards, one for the elites
and one for the common folk? Most
importantly, who has the largest body count of people who could have brought
them down?
What you see
as hate is the society we have become over the past 240 years. We have become an intolerant people,
especially by those who demand tolerance of their personal views and life
styles. If you think voting for HRC will
change that then you are in for some rude years ahead, especially as your
son/daughter turns into a teen ager and hates you for being his/her parents.
Cats! Cats confuse the hell out of me. Don’t get me wrong, I like animals, dogs,
cats, cockatiels I’ve had a few. As far
as I know, I’ve not killed any whales (directly), nor have I decimated the North
American Wolf, Deer, Antelope, Buffalo, or Coyote populations. I thought cats were supposed to be the “leave
me alone” pet of choice. I have this 14-year-old
cat we have had for about 12 years, and if I am at the keyboard he insists on
laying on it. If I am eating, he wants
to stick his face into whatever I am eating to decide if he wants some or
not. If I am going to bed, he wants to
go as well to make sure I assume the correct sleeping position. The correct position involves laying where
there is a space for him to bite the heck out of my hand if I don’t pet him
correctly. Cats, I often think they
would make wonderful slippers.
Well that’s
enough confusion for today.
