I have been grabbed a number of times by articles today but by the time I set fingers to keyboard I have been released. Several times, after scrolling down to look at the comments (sometimes I learn some very interesting things there), I get so depressed from reading the crap spewed there I move on without even setting fingers to keyboard. So many articles I read today make it plain to me that intellect is dead here in the US. It was a long slow sickness, but knowing the end is coming doesn’t necessarily make the realization any easier.
On the way into work this morning I was all set to author a post to address DaWei’s comment about the greatest good for the greatest number, but that motivation ebbed away by the time I was actually in front of my computer. I hope to regain that motivation at some point as I think it is a worthy subject for clarification (but of course, likely no one will care except, perhaps, DaWei).
I have been on the point of deleting this post a couple of times as well. However, this time I am going to click ‘publish’, though I am probably not doing my reader(s) any favors by doing so.
