Wow. I’m so happy when i happen upon blogs such as this. I understand now that internet blogs will never be the marketplace of ideas because like other tangible locations: church, barbershops, clubs–people will flock to things that just validate their own point of view. This whole blog entry is a justification of that speech. Truly whatever came out of his mouth or whatever he did would be “of the devil.” And whatever Bush did, or anyone who shared your skin color, political beliefs, religion, would be golden. Some people will validate themselves at any cost–if it means belittling others, casting aspersions “that person is the devil,” or starting wars and killing people to do it. Are people merely animals who just react to sight and sound and animal instincts? It really pushes me to the cynicism that you all seem to share here, but i refuse to let my hope that one day people can get past it and use the intelligence that is god-given to make intellectual decisions and reach a higher level of consciousness–not based on race, gender, prejudice or what-have-you, but achieving what you claim is a principle of your Christian religion(its mine too)…Righteousness(not self-righteousness) and peace. I enjoy people in the world who can look past themselves and see things from other POV than the one they share. They make for good leaders. The rest of the people, many who must be visitors to this site, are a bunch of scary sociopaths. You’re all the “bewildered herd” too, okay? As I’m writing this, i’m thinking I should delete it because I understand that it will not be well-received and is totally pointless except for a venting moment for myself. But I did contribute to this marketplace so i have done my civic duty and accomplished what i learned in college. Thanks PajamasMedia for opening my eyes.
