Imbeciles Will Be Imbeciles

With all of the screaming I have been doing at the television, with all of the bird flipping I do at the television screen in the lobby (at my major network employer), I decided I needed to take drastic action before my head explodes like a pumpkin dropped off of a ten story building.

So I announced to my friends on Facebook that I was going to start reading the bible on the subway.

One friend asked me, "why?" and I explained that I was sick of all of the stupidity out there and just needed to be reminded of the truth since the new low standard is called "spin". Another one was curious too, seeing that I'm not exactly your stereotypical bible thumper with my truck driver mouth and hand gestures. I explained that at the end of the day, I wanted reassurance that all of the assholes would indeed go straight to hell where they belong.

So me the Yenta found the rosetta stone, the antidote of the msnbc/cnn/nbc/abc/cbs golem arising out of the muck: I read the good book, and I'm actually improving. My head is not a smashed pumpkin (though I did feel my blood pressure surge at a meeting today when the issue of "healthcare" came up, as though it was not a controversial issue!)

I guess these things take time. I will learn to accept those things I cannot change like imbeciles will be imbeciles. Let's see how I do over the next few weeks.
