The latest from my clarebootheluce e-mail account:
A primitive from Skins's island has complained that we "hate" them all.
Well, I dunno. "Hate" is a pretty strong word, and it doesn't apply even to the four drek primitives; generally the primitives seem to do a pretty good job of hating themselves, so it's a waste of time and energy to hate them.
"Loathe" or "detest" might seem better words to use here.
I guess it's essentially true that we loathe and detest the primitives, but not necessarily all of them.
Over time, most here grew to like the much-lamented Gloria Swanson, first as "OldLeftyLawyer" and then later as "Tangerine LaBamba;" in fact, a few of us even grew to love her with a passion and ardor.
And there was the now-mausoleumed "OPERATIONMINDCRIME;" I myself didn't care much for the operating one, but he was obviously well-liked by many here.
I suppose it's reasonable to say that most here admire primitives when they go against the groupthink of Skins's island. It's not necessary for such primitives to see things our way.....only that they courageously go against the grain of primitivity.
This for example is one of three reasons I've felt somewhat more than just indifference about the now-mausoleumed cboy4 primitive, who so bravely challenged the rabid hate-filled 0bamaite primitives during the Democrat presidential primaries of 2008.
The second is because the cboy4 primitive had a healthy sense of humor.
The third is because the cboy4 primitive knew more about sports, than all the rest of the "sports" primitives all put together, most notably the truemud primitive and the forked primitive, neither of whom knows excresence about sports.
I used to like the hippywife primitive, once "Grandma" but since rebaptized as "Mrs. Alfred Packer," after it became obvious that she was willing to constantly endure embarrassment and humiliation from Wild Bill, the hippyhubby, just so as to have a man.
Maybe it's just me, but I've always had problems with women so desperate for a man that they surrender all self-respect and sense of dignity.
There's been other primitives, too, for whom I used to entertain kind feelings, the defrocked warped primitive being one of them, but such feelings diminished considerably, dipping way down into negative territory, as it became obvious the defrocked warped primitive actually likes being wretched and miserable.
I'm considerably less critical of the Nebraska primitives (as compared with the primitives in general) because of the land and culture that binds us together.
And as for the inhabitants of Skins's island, past and present, who so kindly lent their assistance to proponents of open and honest fund-raisers five years ago, or for those who've bothered communicating directly with franksolich, I suspect I return the favor by ignoring their existence in their comments quoted here.
