Hmmm....


Question Posted Saturday June 11 2005, 10:51 pm

Hello,

I see recently you've added me to your "favorite columnists" and im just wondering what caused you to do so. I haven't been getting a horribly astounding reputation here, except with a few of the other people that basically just stop by to remind themselves how crappy the world is getting to be. Lately i've been having a lot of different people actually giving decent advice add me to the favorite columnists section. Im just confused as to why.

Enlighten me?

Thanks,
-Justin

Greetings Justin,

As you did not identify yourself, I'm going to assume that you are known as Panramos.

Actually, you made it onto my list for a number of reasons. What the original answer you gave which sparked my curiosity about you was, I don't remember.

What actually got to onto the list was your list of suggested books to the young woman who was looking for summer reading activity.

The world is crappy, there is no denying that. The difference between you and your contemporaries is a simple one:

I don't believe they could carry your IQ in a wheelbarrow.

I have read your blog and, with the exception of some poor research, found it a very accurate summary of the exposure somebody your age would experience in the current pop culture.

I used to be you to a certain point. Because of various factors in my early life I went through the things you are going through, to a greater or lesser extent, at a much earlier age.

I believe that once you understand the true movers of the puppets that have made our society what it is today you have the potential to grow into a brilliant mind. Not an angry wasted mind, as I nearly became, but someone with a grasp on reality. Someone with a good understanding of the true cause of the pandemic of sheer and unbelievable stupidity that is plaguing our society today.

Sure, you have been known to write some angry, mean and insensitive things. You directed these things at some people that are indeed practically too stupid to remember to breathe.

I honestly believe, that as you grow to understand the causes and deliberate design behind the problem, you may become a great champion in educating those who are truly seeking a way out of the stupid farm.

What convinced me to look into you with greater interest was your answer to the anarchy question. That was absolutely the right answer to give. No better answer could have been given.

The subject of anarchy is not written down in a single sentence. It is a subject for ongoing study and debate. Most people would agree that you cannot tell somebody what anarchy is, they have to feel it.

The common counterculture is only counterculture for about 15 minutes. If you need proof, look at stores like underground attitude and the proliferation of clones littering the malls that sell "punk" clothing. The whole point of punk clothing was that it was your own, you couldn't buy it anywhere because you made it.

Now it is a fashion trend common to mall rats pretending to be "indie" on the weekends.

You have a grip on it, so I would like to encourage you to climb the ladder. Stop being mad at the victims.

Nobody ever led a sheep out of danger by slaughtering it. Think on that. Take some time and consider the answers you have been giving to people.

You have a tremendous gift and insight yet you insist on belittling, bashing and cowing the very people that are most in need of your assistance.

There are very few people with the insight and the intelligence you possess. I only know seven and I have been diligently looking for 20 years.

You escaped the programming and mindlessness by accident so don't get a big head about it.

Be angry at the right people.

Aren't you glad you asked?

-Russell
