Comments on: A Restatement http://lastbender.com/blogh/a-restatement/ The Website of Author Jon Frankel Thu, 17 May 2012 13:54:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: jonfrankel http://lastbender.com/blogh/a-restatement/comment-page-1/#comment-897 jonfrankel Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:58:19 +0000 http://lastbender.com/?p=484#comment-897 I knew you would say this! judging by the traffic, my public temper tantrum was entertaining to people, like minded or not. I have been thinking of appending, or upending, the dirge to the retraction. but you know people have to be responsible for their words. and there are people, like my family, who depend on me not being labled a violent crank. context is everything. i agree, a little vitriol is good for the soul. i like absinthe as much cherry juice. i don't know. we can email our diatribes to each other. maybe we are tiny quarks finding the muons and mesons out there in pursuit of a proton, an electron, an etym, and a neuron.

As to your point about violence, should it come to it (fuck forbid) there are people on your side-- it's just time to INS out who they are already. Nobody wants a civil war, but wishing for the sky to open up and pour down money is as effective as trying to convince the ruling class to be reasonable, stop ahooting wolves from helicopters, or read a book. I'm just saying: things are terrifying in the world, utterly so, and selfishness is not getting us anywhere as a worldview. I will take up my pitchfork for your family if your family's health or safey is threatened. And a little vitriol never hurt anybody, especially a stranger. You should go into your wordpress trash and retrieve that post, while keeping this retraction. You never know-- maybe people need to be reminded of these things, no matter how you saythem.
