Saturday and Perry Mason

I must be crazy!

Who would have thought that a comment on a post would cause people to respond with some of the most vile, ignorant, and pathetic replies one has ever seen?

I’m used to a few but today was like nothing I have ever seen before.

After sending dozens of posts to the “block” bin, it was time to just delete everything and block the main source of the problem.

Done and done!

What does any of this have to do with Perry Mason?

Absolutely nothing.

I’ve been watching reruns on the Retro TV channel and paying close attention to the courtroom drama. People dressed up back then and they were civil to each other.

I miss civility most of all.

SILVER LINING

Reflection

“We’re so self-important. So arrogant. Everybody’s going to save something now. Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save the snails. And the supreme arrogance? Save the planet! Are these people kidding? Save the planet? We don’t even know how to take care of ourselves; we haven’t learned how to care for one another. We’re gonna save the fuckin’ planet? . . . And, by the way, there’s nothing wrong with the planet in the first place. The planet is fine. The people are fucked! Compared with the people, the planet is doin’ great. It’s been here over four billion years . . . The planet isn’t goin’ anywhere, folks. We are! We’re goin’ away. Pack your shit, we’re goin’ away. And we won’t leave much of a trace. Thank God for that. Nothing left. Maybe a little Styrofoam. The planet will be here, and we’ll be gone. Another failed mutation; another closed-end biological mistake.” ~George Carlin
