That said, there is a strain on the whack job left that has taken the pendulum swing too far and spends too much time seeing flaws in the society without seeing greatness. I am recalled of W.S. Gilbert's "little list" from <i>The Mikado</i>, deploring "the idiot who praises in enthusiastic tone, every century but this and every country but his own." Where JJV and I differ is that he seems to consider the "whack job left" as being everyone not currently on the RNC. And maybe more than that, if Olympia Snowe is on the RNC.<br /><br />But oddly enough I don't feel at all defined by either JJV or the Daily Kos. Humorless zealots may be found on all sides, deploring the trivial things that we do to entertain ourselves and get through our working day. Whether it's right wing "family values" types deploring sex/movies/TV or left wing hand wringers who hate the NFL, I shall continue to enjoy both sex and football (they can't make me watch <i>American Idol</i>, though ... I shall eschew idolatry). Instead I follow Queen Elizabeth's search for a <i>via media</i>. That way I get to laugh with everyone, and <i>still</i> strive to make the world a better place. An open mind <i>and</i> personal responsibility. It's a groovy time, man!<br /><br />JCCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-15477707766081333772007-01-17T21:14:00.000-05:002007-01-17T21:14:00.000-05:00It also finally tells us where Prawer ended up.It also finally tells us where Prawer ended up.Dave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12642181505614685541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19078641.post-83253718775506414122007-01-17T13:49:00.000-05:002007-01-17T13:49:00.000-05:00I am perfectly capable of watching football and pr...I am perfectly capable of watching football <b>and</b> protesting McChimpy.<br /><br />That is the perfect post of The Left - that monolithic, fractured, omnipotent, powerless non-entity entity - in that it confirms everyone's stereotypes simultaneously, including mine for <b>JJV</b>.Dave S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12642181505614685541noreply@blogger.com
