Not Much

Hello Lobolians

Not much to discuss today, but it seemed worthwhile to swing by and say hello. Now that I've done that, I'll just say good bye.

Voltaire and the 1st

'I do not agree with a word you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it' Or something like that. Voltaire said it, but you can't ask him how it went, he died quite a while ago. Anyway, that's the gist of his quote, I think you all can get the picture. You people are smart, I hope.

Now to bring us to Don Imus. Should we defend to the death his right to say that the losers of a basketball game are "Nappy headed hoes?"

According to Voltaire, we don't need to agree that losing a basketball game makes you a glorified garden tool with nappy hair. I most definitely do not. Nor should you. If you agree with that assumption get off this blog and never return. You should know what I think of bigots like you. Now scram. You shouldn't even be able to reach this sentence. Are you gone yet?

It is jerks like Imus who make people like me, (blog writing Libertarians) absolutely pissed off because they only encourage those other third derivatives of position (jerks) to abridge the first amendment. It is that sin, more than anything else, for which he MUST be kicked off every blasted airway in this country. And the planet. And the universe while we are at it.

Those who speak openly, to many people, are required by sheer love of gods (God) and country and liberal democracy to watch their words and make sure nothing NOTHING that they say makes the ever aggravating communitarian's (Order and Equality above freedom) increasingly anxious to knock the first to the ground.

Everyone entrusted to speak to the masses must bear those things in mind. There are always going to be fools who don't think before they endanger the voices of all, but try not to join them. I hope I never do.

So it goes

Just wish to use a little bit of my power here on the Rant to honor one of my favorite authors of all time.

Kurt Vonnegut Jr, aged 84 at this point in the space time continuum died today.

His stories have delighted and saddened me ever since I first stumbled across his works last year. 'Getting my Vonnegut fix' is a common event for me whenever a visit a library.

If the Trafalmadorians are to be believed, and why shouldn't they be?, then whenever we look at a differant place in time, he will still be there, writing away. And as the author that he was, Vonnegut will always be speaking to his readers, amusing, terrifying them, saddening them with his darkly, cheerfully, moralizing fantasy novels. I know I will be one of those spoken to.

So it goes Mr Vonnegut. So it goes.

Announcement

Hello Lobolians

Soon it seems that I will be teaming up with an old friend. Karla Rove, an old college buddy of mine has now joined the web and I've linked blogs with her, see below and go to the pygmyraptor one.

For those reading this after around May 11th you may be approaching this blog from the magazine site of Countess Karla Rove of Lobolia. Note the name.

Peace to thee.

Bees need the help of the entire world now. For those who haven't heard the 'buzz' bees are vanishing. Unexplainably. Beekeepers are losing their hives, and for them that's a beloved livelihood. For us, its apples on the table over lunch. For the farmers growing those apples, it's a travesty. For congress, it is yet another problem.

I'll leave you with that for tonight. Perhaps sometime soon I will make it over to the library and then I will give you a piece of my opinions on John McCain. For those of you noting the name Karla Rove when I told you to, be surprised. This is the libertarian, not the conservative. Oh that's right. You've already read it. Wow.
