I am not the author of the above; I found it online and am reposting it here. I grant it makes blanket statements and they are exceptions, but on the whole whether you like it or not, whether you agree with it or not, it’s rather the way things are today.

Updated: I really like this: someone added their own Libertarian slant to the above. Hear hear!

BTW, while I generally don’t delete comments, I did delete a comment and my reply to it (thought about keeping my reply, but lacking his posting my reply lost all context). I saw something in my blog stats that raised my eyebrow so I poked around t3h int34w3z a bit and this guy seems to be specifically looking for any and every (re)posting of the above and copy/pasting his reply to every forum and blog he can. Yes it’s copy/paste, I saw the same posting in numerous places. If he was willing to engage in discourse with me that’d be one thing, but it appears he’s just trolling. I can sympathize with his cause and perhaps even understand the chip on his shoulder, but won’t be party to his Google bombing. 🙂
