  • It’s the same as religions … and it all boils down to sales and salesmanship and marketing.

    I know lots of charismatic people who could talk to you endlessly about bullshit and get you buy a used car and make you believe that it’s the best purchase for your situation … and they’ll make you believe that they are your best friend in the world.

    Those same people are the same individuals that can make you believe all sorts of things … things like you should give them money in order to make the world a better place. Then they go on to convince other people to do the same.

    You could say that their biggest skill is that they are salesmen but that’s only half the problem. The other half of the problem is that these sales people also attract the dumbest people. The combination of moderately capable salespeople and an extremely dumb community of people creates a group of individuals that can give one person a lot of power … then it creates a snowball effect where the small community attracts more dumb people and the community grows giving the one dumb idiot that started the whole thing more and more power.

    The dumb idiot leader built their power and prestige on the stupidity of a mass of people. The more dumb illiterate and ignorant people you have in the world … the more likely this scenario will occur.

    The only keys I would ever notice being moved are ‘F’ and ‘J’ … because they have that little nub to let your fingers know where to place your hands … but even then, I usually just move my finger placement left or right until I find the right setup anyway.



  • In Canada with Irish Canadian friends, my favourite was always … JELLO SALAD … basically a bowl of coloured jello with its of fruit in it. The bowl was usually set alongside all the turkey, potatoes, vegetables and stuffing.

    Every other time of the year, it’s called a children’s dessert … at Christmas time, it’s known as an adult’s gourmet salad.

    Never understood it.
