Illegal Immigrant Kills Regional Administrator--Victim was active in Wiccan church, ran home for winged primates
--Dorothy Gale of Kansas subject of intense manhunt; alleged to have dropped house on victim--
See, if you don't control the medium, you don't control your message -- so it had better be as unambiguous as possible. Sometimes, not even freeing all the Munchkins from under the ruby-slippered heel of their oppressor is enough. (And that, if you were wondering, is one of my concerns about punching Nazis: the video people see is just some guy getting surprise-punched. It makes him look sympathetic. And the puncher gets into the legal system as "the accused." Far better to be "witness for the prosecution," after the bad guy has done something aggressive, though more difficult to arrange.)
--And you, everybody, might occasionally look down at your uniform, and around at your compatriots, and ask yourself, "Are we the bad guys?" Commies, Nazis, Democrats, Libertarians, Republicans, independent voters, Greens, don't just drift along. Make sure of where you are and what you're doing. They're not all the same. Some ideas are bad ideas; some people are bad people. Bad people often try to sell bad ideas as good ideas. Don't play along; don't get played.
...and remember: If you're only ****ing goats on the internet to troll your opponents and get a rise out of them, you're still ****ing goats.
ReplyDeleteExcellent.
ReplyDeleteThe Munchkins don't believe the headlines. They can read Pravda.
ReplyDeleteGood one.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think the old joke ending "you ain't here for the hunting, are you?" ties into Tams comment.
Well said, ma'am, as always.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the Aspie in me insists on posting the following:
"Correction:
"Yesterday's Munchkinville Gazette reported ('Illegal Immigrant Kills Regional Administrator') that Ms Gale had killed the Regional Administrator by dropping a house on her head.
"We now know that the person Ms Gale is alleged to have killed by dropping a house on her head was the Regional Administrator's sister; Ms Gale is also accused of killing the Regional Administrator by throwing corrosive liquids on her."
I'll go back to my post-work beer now. Don't get up, I know the way out.
Drang, Wicked Witch of the East; Wicked Witch of the West. Why were the Munchkins celebrating?
ReplyDeleteWikipedia has some background.
You are correct in that Dorothy's murder spree continued.
I try to always run dummycheck.exe as a background process.
ReplyDeleteEspecially at the laser mine.
