The Criteria for What kind of an Idiot you are.
Posted Nov 4, 2003
Ways to Know if You Are Just an Ordinary Idiot -or Some Other Kind of Idiot:::. Ordinary Idiots(if you're an American):: You listen to Laura Schlessinger and Rush Limbaugh and you believe in Marriage before sex. You don't see temper and anger as Weakness; you think there are times when they are 'righteous'.Other Kinds of Idiots::You listen to 'Remote Viewing and Alien sitings radio shows; you think NPR is the 'people's' alternative radio [and if you are British you probably think the BBC is] You know Anger is Weakness but sometimes you just have to 'express yourself::::Extraordinary Idiots - Athenians, Lovers of Reason: For us "Beauty is Truth - and truth, Beauty; This is all ye need to know in life - and all ye need to know". The BBC (and in the US - 'Democracy Now') is all you can stand on the radio. You threw away your TV years ago. You have understood that there are no important differences btwn Labor or Conservative or republican & democratic administrations.
You realise that CheGuevara is as close to the Second Coming as we'll ever get. You've prob. read something of Dostoyevky's and Hesse's. You know that Internal emotional control is strength and beauty,and that All anger is destructive weakness. You sing-at least if you think no one's listening..."Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms" would express how you would feel if you loved a woman...Because I recommend Belafonte's "La Paloma" those who sense the ambiance of the song would have good expectations of me . I don't drink ... but if you do - nonetheless the wine of Conscious Truth affects you more deeply than any liquor known to Man.
I don't know if I will be responded to by the generality of even a particularity of others posting on this site: Those who are in that period of their life [that for some never ends] who feel that it is either appropriate, sincere or kool to adopt nicknames that seem to express an 'Unaffected and approachable ambiance' like 'NobodyBoy' , 'gothgirl' , 'coolClarinda' or 'Ausseibloke' won't find it pleasant to communicate with me. Life is a great, grand and often wrenchingly horrible thing - depending upon your location and fate. To affect not taking most of all your self Seriously - and thereafter almost Everyone else Seriously in this life - is an impaired conscious state that a majority of communicating-Types in life are for a long time - Stuck at. One should like Burt Lancaster as that desperately lost character 'Merrill' in John Cheever's tale "The Swimmer" be able to look at anyone and answer as he did the woman who contemptuously asked him:What made him any different from all the other men she knew - - " I am a noble and magnificent man" he said. And so he was. And so is Lori Berenson a noble and magnificent woman in prison now for 7 years in Peru. And so is Dr. Helen Caldicot - and so is the reporter Robert Fisk. etc. If you have thought about being a socialist, brave and are concerned about those in suffering in the world, write me at [email protected]
