When you don't get it

I just want everyone that reads blogs, that reads anything and belives that reading gives them a right to an expressed opinion, to take a step back and think before they speak, and especially before they join any existing conversation, whether it be between individuals or a larger cultural discussion.

Because, mainly, if you have a position, if you have a story you believe works, then you should just shut the fuck up or listen if you can.

If you have an existing story of the world that you believes works, is pat, takes into account, then you have stopped thinking.

And if you think that story is right, is grounded, is explained, you are a miserable dialogue-destroying idealogue, and it doesn't matter how "good" or "nice" or "inclusive" your ideas are, they are bullshit.

Because any owned story will value its own survival. As a good and unassailable thing. And that will kill the truth on a little, tiny, petty altar of satisfaction.

Some stupid bitch of a waste of education and enlightment cut short a discussion of the way communities deal with racism with her ideas about what former NYers tend to say just this very eve. Which of those two ideas sound interesting and valuable to you?

Goddamn am I pissed off about it, too.

For the love of Pete, have something to say or shut the fuck up - don't share pieces of rhetoric like they are wisdom.

And have the good sense to realize your intellectual elders are talking, and pipe down.

Beige boy, you know what I am talking about, and if your balls are bigger than bb's will send this on to her. Nothing worse than a mind that could be right thinking it is right, and being fucking simple.

Fuck - if you don't want to think, and think deep, just go home.
