The Unheralded (and Deservedly So) Return

At last I am back in the fold! Due to some difficulties with the blog site, I was nearly knocked out of commission, but the problems seem to be sorted out now. I started several entries over the past few weeks but have not been able to finish them, but I can do so now if properly motivated, which I'm probably not.

Money can't buy happiness, but it can win you a number of insincere friends.

What a stupid philosophical conundrum that whole "tree falls in the forest" thing is! If a tree falls in the forest and no one's around to hear it, does it make a sound? Using that logic, couldn't the question just as easily be: If a tree falls in the forest and there's no one around to see it, does it actually fall at all? See what kind of world it is? Even the philosophers are morons!

Wouldn't it be great if, instead of displaying outrage whenever somebody said something really stupid, people simply pretended they forgot who someone was? For instance, suppose immediately after Kramer's tirade, the entire world would go into conspiracy mode.

"Did you hear what Kramer said?"
"Who?"
"Kramer, the guy from 'Seinfeld'. "
"I don't remember a Kramer. I remember Elaine, George and Jerry, but not Kramer."
"You know, Kramer, the guy with the funny hair!"
"Nope, can't place him."

You can see how effective this could be if enough people became involved.

"Did you hear what Tim Hardaway said?"
"Who's Tim Hardaway?"
"The basketball player, killer crossover, you know!"
"Killer what? Who'd he play for?"
"Several teams, the Golden State Warriors in the early 90s, for one."
"Nope, I don't remember a Tim Hardaway. I remember Mitch Richmond and Chris Mullin and Tyrone Hill, but not Tim Hardaway."

I won't belabor the point, but wouldn't this really do the trick? It could help squash the endless blathering "what does this say about our society" claptrap, which would certainly make the world a better place.

I'll try to finish some of what I started so it doesn't seem like there's such an enormous gap in posts, but hey I'm not getting paid for this, you know.
