or How I learned to love the Dumb.

Saturday, after the wife and Oglet and i headed for home, a bunch of asshelmets hopping up and down on a bridge fell, not to their deaths, unfortunately, but to their dampness.

A couple injuries, which will result in lawsuits, no doubt.

Bottom line, is, stupidity reigns. It should hgurt to be stupid, and these people got precisely what they deserved, which was to be dumped into the drink because they were too stupid to stay off the bridge as directed to by cops. Instead of staying home and missing work and nursing their lumps for being stupid, they will probably get a nice payday.

Had I designed that bridge, it would slowly lower as it was overloaded, so people would get wet without getting hurt, a direct result of their own stupidity. Maybe that’s what we need- a world that once again has consequences for stupidity and bad decision making.

And that’s just what Mr porretto has in mind, here. He has an interesting plan, and the more people I can reccomend it to, the better. I like it a lot, and i hope it works well.

Here’s the thing: I have but one fear, and that is of hubris. I mouth off in public, and I put my opinion out there writ large, so everyone can see it. but in my private life, I am the very model of humility, because I understand what Hubris is.

The very model of Hubris, on our planet, right now, is the wingnut-headed fool at the helm.

Let me remind you, for a moment, of the story of Nimrod.

Nimrod is seen as a great hunter. He is looked upon as some model sportsman, and this is where he started to go wrong. Accounts differ depending on what you read, but having the power of death over all of God’s creation gave him the (erroneous) impression that he was godlike himself. (Not realizing it was the ability to endow LIFE, and not DEATH, that made one a God)

Nimrod’s hubris brought him more and more defeat all his life, until his crowning glory, the building of the Tower of Babel. Babel was built to be a monument to mankind and the builders, with no recognition of the place for The Creator. And it was summarily destroyed.

Our little dumbo-headed nimrod has coe to a place where his hubris is about to vertake him. It may be the Creator doing so directly, it may be legions of people following Porretto’s plan, it may be something else- but the cosmic toilet is being flushed, and the shit storm is a’coming. Watch this space.
