In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Respect Fades Even Farther Away

I used to like Bill Cosby. He seemed to be rational and thoughtful.

Apparently, he doesn't support a natural gas pipeline, which will help supply natural gas to parts of the Northeast.

As far as I'm concerned, he's another dumbass that lost the ability to reason and they should cut off his electricity, natural gas and cable. If he can't support what makes those things happen, he doesn't deserve to have the luxury of what they allow.

    This sounds like a case of NIMBY. I wonder if he would care if it were Indian land.

      I respect anyone's decision to avoid the trappings of civilization, but I don't respect those that want all it brings and expect someone else to furnish them with whatever they want, without making any sacrifices.

      He has enough land that it won't be even within sight of his compound. It's not like his serenity will be shattered. I am surprised at this attitude. But, I suppose he has the clout to resist.

    It is just part of his dumbing down of America and the loss of freedom as we knew it.

    There are quite a few reasons to be against the pipeline. And there are some good arguments for building it. It seems petty to judge a person based on a position like this.

      If he doesn't want the pipeline on his land, then don't allow it.

      "...Through a spokesman, the couple said it was "astounding" that New England's six governors support the proposal, which they said shows "disrespect for humans, flora and fauna...."

      Disrespect for human? Yep, Cosby has little. He's willing to keep the costs for fuel at the rate he knows he can afford and could give a rat's ass about anyone that could use some savings on the fuel that keeps them alive during the winter.

    Hmmm... just tell the senile ol' coot that the pipeline will be filled with acres of jello pudding.

      For a man that was raised in humble surroundings, he sure has taken on the trappings of a spoiled, wealthy curmudgeon.

      "No natural gas? Why let them rub sticks together to keep warm."

    Is there any such thing as a celebrity we can respect anymore?

      There's only a few, and they have a hard time avoiding the wrath of the media.
