Making fun of the inmates of the 19th century lunatic asylums.

WHY DO YOU DO IT?

Presumably this is not a rhetorical question?

The public were protected from the, largely untreatable, inmates of
19th century lunatic asylums. Many were not even lunatics but merely
wronged by a religiously corrupted, class ridden, sociopathic, largely
uneducated society. One which claimed the moral high ground while
sending children down the mines. Performing wars for obscene profit
and land theft. Or inflicting their hideous rituals on innocents
abroad in the name of god and country.

On Abusenet the public is imprisoned in the asylum and the lunatics
are mostly outside. Looking in and protected from sanction by their
unique anonymity. Anonymity is the curse of the devils who invented
Abusenet. In the unforgivably naive expectation that those who used it
would be either sane, self-disciplined, intelligent or both. They were
wrong on both counts. Nobody sane would put up with the lack of
intelligence shown by the resident lunatics. Their infantile drivel is
so easily proven wrong that one wonders why they ever bother get out
of their institutional beds in the mornings.

Burning at the stake still has its merits. No smoke without fire. If
that fails there is always the ducking stool. Or, my personal
favourite, the sharp, pointy stick of a well aimed, response post.
Everybody should have a hobby. That said, lunacy is not officially
listed under "1001 fun things to do when you are bored!"

THE BASIC LAWS OF HUMAN STUPIDITY
by Carlo M. Cipolla

THE FOURTH BASIC LAW

Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of
stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly
forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances
to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to
be a costly mistake.

Thanks for that link, Bert.

At the risk of associating with one well known for confirming and
breaking several laws at a swipe:

It is always the journey rather than reaching the goal. Goals are at
their best when glimpsed distantly, as shimmering mirages beyond
personal reach of even the most daring flights of fancy. Never as the
unnatural glister of the personal oases of the sales brochures. To
remain hungry and thirsty, for personal discovery, is the only way I
know to inner happiness and personal growth. To have changed one's
mind several times in any day is to have risen marginally above the
mediocre humdrum of a haphazardly constructed, half-cocked belief
system about our known universe, both micro and macro.

The Seventh law:

Without exception; advertising is always aimed squarely at those who
are intellectually incapable of understanding the concept of
advertising. Including, of course, the sale of politics and religion.

Sir,

In the interests of your obviously fragile state of mental health I

So,parents pay astronomers $2000 dollars per week and these people
can't explain what causes the seasons and why rotations keep in step
with 24 hour days !.

I work in astronomy for nothing as it is a God given talent and how I
wish others would share in that endeavor.When I see what I can do
while knowing that those who have jobs and pensions using the name of
astronomy and astronomers yet can't handle basic principles,methods
and insights I have every reason to feel aggrieved yet it is love for
what my ancestors did and future generations that moves me and not how
well I can bury astronomy under a pile of voodoo.

Badastrobuster indeed !,the only person ever to design a game where he
didn't have to play and he lost !.
