Lattices of Bogosity

There is a war being waged in the real world, and there is another one taking part in the public square of Cyberspace. We are engaged, as a civilization, in a deadly struggle, and its prosecution is being hampered by twisted thinking and deliberate disinformation. It is fueled by a virulent ideology and by childish self-interest which is rampant, persistent and utterly without moral compass. It constructs lattices of bogosity to obscure our vision. I'm here to dismantle them.

A Lacking Brain

Roger Ebert, in a review of A Mighty Heart:

"The Americans who complain about "negative" news are the ideological cousins of those who shoot at CNN crews. The news is the news, good or bad, and those who resent being informed of it are pitiful."

I am not even going to disect the idiocy in this; it speaks for itself. You either get it or you don't.

Thus my pseudonym.

I get physically tired and a mild headache trying to fathom the thought process that not only thinks this in the first place, but then types it out, rereads it, thinks it worthy to keep, then publishes it for a worldwide audience. It almost like trying to visualize 4th dimensional geometry, which is hard enough, but when one thinks of the ramifications of HOW MANY people operate under similar twisted thinking, its worrisome to say the least. Trying to imagine a mind which would draw such a parallel, and find it valid, is stupifying.

So, I guess people on the left (and right) who complain about Americans exercising free speech to criticize them (and being so popular with the public for doing so) are the ideological cousins of those who shoot at CNN crews. Reality is reality, truth is the truth, ratings are ratings and those who resent being informed of it are pitiful, no?

Idiot.
