I have a wake this morning
A service for the father of a friend. I will drop my daughter at school, get a haircut and a shave, put on a suit for the first time in a couple years, and drive across two states to be there.
On a daily basis I deal with the mindblowingly ignorant. And their number grows. All anyone can do is fight the good fight, even though nobody listens, and keep going. The ignorant are, to those capable of reason, a crushing burden. Witness Obama voters, people who drive ten under, and tubthumping god-botherers.
So I will stand behind my friend as he deals with his father’s passing, and pray for them both. And I will pray for the patience to deal with the morons that beset me on all sides.
Safe trip, and condolences on the loss.
What Paul said.
My Lovely Bride keeps telling me to ignore the idiots because I can’t change them and they don’t think they’re idiots. My take is that ignoring them only encourages their idiot behavior.
It’s tough when you’re an introvert coping in a world of extovert idiots.
Condolences.
Yeah, that’s my most recurrent issue: unable to restrain the anger with the previously mentioned idiots.

This.
