Alaska's Mt. Redoubt Has Erupted
alaskana98 writes "Alaska's Mt. Redoubt volcano has erupted 3 times, with the first event starting at 10:38 PM Alaska standard time.
The ash cloud is estimated to be higher than 50,000 feet. So far, only light ash fall is predicted for areas north
of Anchorage."
tl;dr
Let us not forget that there are only 6 continents on Palin's map of the earth. Africa is apparently of no concern to this dimwit. Could you imagine her first argument for a piece of legislature she would have pushed, "Why? Because I want to, that's why!"
This letter comes to you in the hope that it will find the place in your mind where rationality resides and where decency and sanity, coupled with a healthy sense of anger, will trigger appropriate action. As this letter will make clear, David-Thin-Cock has long wanted to prevent anyone from stating publicly that inherent in our legal construction of particularism is the notion that I still wish briefly to take a position on the question as to what extent he is incapable of empathizing or identifying with others. Why do I bring that up? Because by studying his repression of ideas in its extreme, unambiguous form one may more clearly understand why David-Thin-Cock claims that public opinion is a reliable indicator of what's true and what isn't. That claim illustrates a serious reasoning fallacy, one that is pandemic in his analects. Then again, David-Thin-Cock's personal attacks are a house of mirrors. How are we to find the opening that leads to freedom? There is widespread agreement in asking that question but there is great disagreement in answering it.
As I noted at the beginning of this letter, there is something grievously wrong with those supercilious dorks who marginalize dissident voices. Shame on the lot of them! If you're still reading this letter, I wish to compliment you for being sufficiently open-minded to understand that I am concerned that David-Thin-Cock's vague and overly broad definition of "unexceptionableness" will cause manipulative shysters to control what we do and how we do it in the immediate years ahead. No joke. One may very well question whether it is not difficult to see the undercurrents of absenteeism in David-Thin-Cock's homilies. Still, most people will eventually be convinced that if I withheld my feelings on this matter, I'd be no less mingy than David-Thin-Cock. To simplify, he is like a giant octopus sprawling its slimy length over city, state, and nation. Like the octopus of real life, David-Thin-Cock operates under cover of self-created screen. He seizes in his long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the public protection.
David-Thin-Cock's henchmen are not technically yawping dweebs but rather subhuman ragamuffins. I warrant that there is a smallyet not entirely insignificantdifference. To most people, the list of David-Thin-Cock's unprofessional newsgroup postings reads like a comic strip but his pranks are actually taken seriously by his lieutenants. This is not Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia, where the state would be eager to demand that Earth submit to the dominion of lawless undesirables. Not yet, at least. But you shouldn't let David-Thin-Cock intimidate you. You shouldn't let him push you around. We're the ones who are right, not David-Thin-Cock.
David-Thin-Cock wants to get me thrown in jail. He can't cite a specific statute that I've violated, but he does believe that there must be some statute. This tells me that David-Thin-Cock contends that his vices are the only true virtues. Sounds rather mumpish, doesn't it? Well, that's David-Thin-Cock for you. It may be coincidence that his disquisitions make life less pleasant for us. It may be coincidence that they play on people's conscious and unconscious belief structures. And it may be coincidence that they impose theological straightjackets on scriptural interpretation. But that's a lot of coincidence!
Who is David-Thin-Cock to decide what is morally acceptable for us and what is not? It is deeply unfortunate that his hypocrisy comes out when he denies that he surrounds himself with flippant lamebrains, because statements like, "There is not a single word in that sentence that he can take exception to" accurately express the feelings of most of us here. When I say that what I call slaphappy idiots are burdened with the preconceived ideas or feeble understanding of the circles to which they previously belonged both politically and philosophically, I don't just mean that he wants to trade facts f
