Zoso,
With all due respect to your false humility.....you are full of sh**.
You and those like you GAVE us our modern society,and transformed lives
that were uniformly (and without exception)---nasty,brutish,and short,
into lives that the richest kings of old could only dream of.
Not 2 decades ago,the people who gather here could only communicate
via their sad little gossip klatches or perhaps the pathetically limited local
library.They felt alone.In fact they WERE alone.This very medium we are
communicating on now is the product of minds like yours.
(So take a goddamned BOW already!)
You will have all your life to observe the phony,the vain, and the stupid
taking bows for all sorts of meaningless things,be they actors,sports figures,
media personalities,or whatever......and they will do so on a medium, manifested
and made real,on an EM spectrum that they could not begin to understand--
because of
'magicians'
like you.
(Process THAT signal,my friend!)
Some of us know who the real heroes of this society are----and they are NOT
the cast of "The Jersey Shore".As the son of an EE,I know how pointless it is to hope
that the true heroes of this fantastic world we live in will EVER take their RICHLY
deserved credit for bringing us out of the dark ages.
......but in the meanwhile,I will do my best to cajole and elbow them into the
limelight they so richly deserve.......
('cuz some of us know the difference between fluff and the 'real deal'.)
