And I've always respected and responded in kind to your straight-shooting on any matter we both discussed. I've learned a lot about the day-to-day grind that the T/O job is, and would probably sit for hours eagerly listening to the stories you could tell. Sometimes, when talking to a crowd whose opinion sides against yours, you have to speak twice as loud to be half as effective as your opposition. That's a factor of four, and you still are taking long odds. So imagine four of you -- Bill from Maspeth, Selkirk, you, and (who else?) flooding the board with your side on the matter as just a matter of course and the tide I must buck to keep my message from merely getting swept away in the static you all can generate. Each word I type has to hit with the power of four of yours. That, and for some strange reason, I despise the average. I hate the mediocre. I have to be somewhere outside the box at all times. If I was just to drone a bland, flat, and conventional opinion, I wouldn't elicit much of a response, much less an agreement from those too frightened to speak out on their own. How can someone get excited about an unexcited opinion? I believe what I say, but sometimes have to say it with a bullet for it to be noticed. But enough of that. Holy crap, time to hit the ole horizontal. School night. |
