What a shocking and unfair mischaracterization of my creative literary inventions (which are only of the highest)! I seek to impose nothing! I merely share with others who are of like mind, as a way of spreading joy and inspiration here and there, wherever it might be needed or appreciated. Certain cretins here (I shall name no names) are incapable of appreciating my kindly and illuminating efforts. Well, that is the way of the world. One encounters a certain number of swine along the path. The pity of it is that these very same ruffians and ill-intentioned Philistines, rather like the person who posted at 11 Feb 10 - 01:27 PM above, feel it incumbent upon them to attack my worthy contributions! I am sure that in time the negative karma that inevitably accrues to their hostile actions will catch up with them, and in full measure. |

13 Feb 10 - 11:49 AM (#2838174) Subject: RE: BS: who is the weirdest Catter--and why? From: Donuel Who gets to decide? Who do you trust? who is the weirdest? Where is the vote? We are all wierd, We are all wrong. We can never be certain. In a free society you get to decide with your vote. You get to decide in your E Pluribus Unum sort of way even when you don't have any understanding about what you are deciding. This goes to show how we end up in such a catch 22 nonsensical society but that is the nature of democracy and freedom. It is messy sausage making. Our American founding fathers knew the importance of freedom in a society which has academic and scientific freedom to speak, speculate and research new ideas which lead to discoveries that help a nation grow stronger. Some societies which deny freedom, do not allow a forum of its citizens to decide important issues and instead have a tyrant, king, religion or political bureau decide issues for the nation. These kinds of systems or governments decide just like an individual in that they too can be totally ignorant about what they are deciding. A free society or a closed oligarchy are much alike in this way. In America today we even have people marching under the banner of freedom who in fact work in concert to eliminate freedom in scientific research, speech and education. The irony is that the these religious organizations are often sponsored by corporations that want no laws to be passed that would limit their ability to do anything they can dream up. I contend that no matter who you decide to trust or support in decision making, they are most certainly wrong, corrupt or ignorant of the outcome of any particular decision. Yes it's all guess work based on egotistical greedy notions with a weak grasp on outcomes and correct answers. Such is the nature of politics, human intelligence and grand mistakes. In the twentieth century when the theory of Relativity was proven after WW 1 when light was shown to bend from the gravity of the sun, there were plenty of people and organizations who were completely ignorant of what that scientific discovery meant to our understanding and growth as an intelligent species. Some people mistakenly transmuted the meaning of Relativity for their own purposes to a political philosophy that justified the most cruel and demented concept of moral relativism. Hitler, Stalin and a host of other authoritarians based many of their actions on this perverse idea of moral relativism instead of the well grounded concepts of clear cut right and wrong. While everyone can be ignorant of what they are deciding the decisions get made anyway. We decide if we trust a scientist who probably has certain self interests, or we may decide to trust a Corporation or political party that is certainly self interested, or to trust God who has any number of self interested people speaking for him and/or her. We do not even get a right to vote on the most important things. We did not get to vote if we wanted nuclear weapons in the first place. We do not get a vote in the release of nuclear weapons. Now that we have religious state governments who command the use of nuclear weapons we have reason to worry about their religious beliefs in inevitable Armageddon, just as other nations worry about America using nuclear weapons in anger again. There is probably no issue that demonstrates decision making in the dark that bio ethics. Like splitting the atom, the most important things tend to be very small things. For example DNA is rather small. The political battles over stem cells have all the usual voices speaking at once with little or no understanding of what their opinion, if made into law, will create. Some religious voices seem to say that human knowledge is wrong and worship alone is right. Scientists with good intentions may not know the outcome of some projects which could affect the DNA of every living thing. Corporations may not care about anything except a big short term profit and legal larceny of life itself. Deciding or voting to allow or deny the next generation of science that may lead to relative immortality or genetic manipulation that could lead to the execution of bio diversity, will be done with all the same limitations and ignorance that has given us past catastrophes. We will make our best guess and throw our dart. Some of us will not even see a target and others will end up hitting the cat by accident. As in atomic relationships, there is no certainly, there are only likelihoods. So whenever you say, "you are wrong" or "you are an idiot", they are both true; for you and me, them or us. I contend that the more history you know or the more knowledge you have in general, the more likely the likelihoods you believe, will to be true. You are all as wierd as the wierd uncertain stuff of which you are made. |

I have a steady job, pay my bills, own my house and dress better than my sister. I have hobbies and make a little more than I spend. I pursue occasional recreational things like diving and kayaking and go for long walks on occasion. I build stuff. I write stuff. I play and sing in a somewhat musical manner--at least I can carry a tune and play in more than one key. Now Jock, he's weird. He deliberately exposes himself to ice and blizzards every year, lives out in the North Hebrides, and speaks a bizarre variant of ancient oatmeal. Talk aboot weird! A |

15 Feb 10 - 03:40 PM (#2840203) Subject: RE: BS: who is the weirdest Catter--and why? From: gnu No. But the hamburger was part of it. A BBQd burger was actually eaten off the paper plate that was first thrown in "Frisbee style", giving Walter Fredrick "Fred" Morrison the idea. The fact is that the burger was so thick that it slipped out of his hands and landed on the lawn. He swore terribly and he was taken to task by the hostess of the BBQ. Still angry, he grabbed the plate and flung it at her and VOILA... the Frisbee was born. Oh... I know the "offical" story is about cake pans. But, back then, they had to prissy up the story in order to market it. I mean, they would not have been able to sell it under Walter's original name choice, the "FUCKMEE". |

Great controversial ideas have been branded weird like Civil Rights, Woman's Suffrage, Abolition, Union bargaining, stopping child labor..............
