A wonderful time with the ever gracious members of the Indy Blogmeet crew. Too much to write now, but suffice to say I was a total asshole, as usual. The Old grouch had to award some consolation prizes to keep the assembled throng from rioting, and everyone walked off with a wonderful disc of christmas songs, about which I ‘m sure he can tell more. I listened to it all the way home, and it was total sweetness. I don’t know jackall about music, but this was fun. And free is always good. More later.

Jusat because it has come upo SEVERAL times in the past couple of days, here’s a litmus test I use for bullshit, and it rarely fails. It has never, ever failed me.

If someone approaches you with an idea,or a product, or a service, either bidden or unbidden, and attempts to sell it to you as if it is the second coming itself, that idea, poroduct, or service is most likely a load of shit.

Witness the religious zeal and fervor with which people will describe or defend the following:

Apple computers. PC computers. Amiga computers. Commodore computers. Ipods. Iphones. Blackberries. Treos. Razr phones.
Winamp. Itunes. Media player. Photoshop. World of Warcraft. Wii. Playstation. Atari. Ford. Chevy. Toyota. Chrysler. Pontiac. Mercury. Subaru. Jaguar. Audi. Mercedes. Glowbull Warming. Glowbull cooling. Acid rain.Amway. Hebalife. Aloe vera. Da Vinci code. Morse code. Ikea. Obama. Minnesota(ok, I put that one in there to see if you were paying attention). Judaism. Catholicism. Calvinism. Tattoos. Piercing. Nose rings, wedding bands, hair bands, dry hands. Most recently, here, Anarchism, Collectivism, Objectivism, yadda yadda yadda. If someone steps up to the plate to defend something so strongly they feel prepared to come to blows about it, it is unquestionably themselves they are trying to convince, that the idealogical tent they have made for themselves is the correct one, and will manufacture all kinds of evidence to prove their tent is the only correct one.

Me, I try to take a different route. I have objectively looked at all types of governmnet, and I have objectively looked at all types of people, and I have great faith that our little republic is the least bad of a field of horrible choices. ALL forms of government, and yes, Anarchy is a form of government, are full of shit, and I would never espouse ANY of them as the be all and end all. On the other hand, I can easily see that a lot of what’s out there for alternatives bites mule cock. So be wary of anyone selling their ideas like religion, you might just find out their god is P.T. barnum.

In comments below, from another enlightened Anarchist:

Well, actually, Anarchism does work. There have been many Anarchist societies throughout time.

Yep. Six whole seconds of googling was the massive effort it took to determine they have all failed, or are in the process of failure.

And even if there weren’t, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.

Ooh, How Original!

And even if there weren’t, it doesn’t mean communism doesn’t work.
And even if there weren’t, it doesn’t mean socialism doesn’t work.
And even if there weren’t, it doesn’t mean collectivism doesn’t work.
And even if there weren’t, it doesn’t mean marxism doesn’t work.
And even if there weren’t, it doesn’t mean fluffy buny poop worship doesn’t work.

Congrats on falling into the stupoidest logical fallacy on earth. Nice to see you checked your brain at the door.

I’m sure you like democracy

Are you now? How is it that you’re sure of that? Like Billy Blowjob, you come here without any knowledge whatsoever of who or what i am, and you’re “sure” of how I feel on a subject? What, you can read minds now? You don’t even know if I’m human. You know exactly nothing. And you demonstrate it every time you open your piehole to make another utterly invalid point based on your own prejudice and utterly closed mind.

There were no democratic societies for thousands of years. Ever hear of a Monarch? Does that mean democracy doesn’t work? Also, maybe there aren’t many Anarchist societies around, because at the moment we have leaders who maintain power, they aren’t exactly giving that power up.

Here’s a little clue for you. When you decide to ramble on about things you understand not at all, try to keep those voices in your head, and don’t let them leak out onto the keyboard.

If you had done some research other than talking to other people who dislike Anarchy you might have learned something. Then we all could of avoided the pleasure of hearing you mindlessly bitch about Anarchy on some blog.

Hm. Maybe I see people like you, you purulent piece of dogmeat, and I understand what a morally bankrupt piece of shit you are, and how morally bankrupt the concept of anarchy is, when it is practiced by anencephalic fucktards like yourself. I’ve a: Done more research than you can imagine on the subject, thus arriving at the correct conclusion, and b: knew it was bullshit the moment I tripped across the goat turd ot Anarchy,

Yes Ayn Rand is a fucktard – though I’m not sure what that has to do with Anarchism because she rejected Anarchism hugely… (Again with the research.)

The point of that, you pusilanimous scumbag, is that most of the idiots that espouse Anarchy in one form or another also espouse objectivism. If you would stop being such a close -minded idiot. You might avoid humiliating yourself over the internet trying to act intelligent.

God, I cannot even IMAGINE using that kind of grammar and trying to pretend I had a clue.

So finally, if you stop being such a close-minded idiot. You might avoid humiliating yourself over the internet trying to act intelligent.

OK I’m going to correct your grammar here because it’s your first visit. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you’re a product of the public screwel system and the bong you have stuck to your lower lip right now.

Try this on for size:”So, Finally, if you would stop being such a closed-minded idiot, you might avoid humiliating yourself over the Internet , trying to act intelligently”

That actually makes some sense, though, as usual, it was your thought no matter how disjointed, and is of course utterly false.

You came here to spout shit about which you obviously know not a thing, to someone you don’t know from adam. You have been rude and an ass, and as thus, I appoint you Queen of Anarchists. Go somewhere, put down the bong, and try to learn something. I do despair of that, lord knows, because it obviously hasn’t happened thus far.
