Vancouver Secrets

A Reader Writes…

Howdy,

I was reading something about global warming (aka climate change) tonight: cap and trade, no drilling, no nukes, sun power, wind power, etc., basically economic suicide, and I kept wondering why so many people believe so fervently in this nonsense.

Then it hit me. There’s no fact, no science, no common sense behind it at all which means that any asshat can believe it in it, support it, feel all tingly and superior and saintly about it, and give other people shit about it without having to learn anything.

It’s the ultimate asshole gimmick: something potentially important that requires no knowledge at all!

Knowing what you are talking about is simply not a requirement; in fact, it’s a detriment.

The other thing is a book I found detailing (more or less) the lives and crimes of the western world’s “most evil psychopaths”, people like Clifford Olson and Ted Bundy. It’s a quick and easy read, perfect for the john.

After racing through a dozen or so bios of these guys, I was astonished to realize that something important was missing: almost none of them ever used a gun!

They’d murdered hundreds and hundreds of people without using those evil guns.

Just thought you’d like to know.
