In our best efforts, we are nothing more than a clown. More often than not, attempts to be "serious" give me the distinct feeling of being a pompous ass. I guess I felt some "cover" posting this in the Unpopular Opinions thread. I get the feeling it belongs there. Is that me being cynical, or realistic?

Incidentally, in reference to the slipping clown mask; Joseph Campbell refers to a recurring theme in Native American mythology wherein the highest deity appears in the form of a clown, or comical trickster. There's a point in there I can't seem to articulate. About "truth" ...

Perfectly said IMHO. Bravo.

Thank you. I'm delighted to have made such an impression on Hotty McHot-Ass.

Does anyone besides myself feel as if they are fighting a life-long battle to be able to articulate thoughts acurately? I believe that message boards can be a useful place to sharpen your skills. There are many people on this site who have an impressive command of the language, the kind I strive for. I appreciate you all.

You're welcome, but the flattery is unnecessary.

jinx makes another post missing the work-safe SCF label.
The topic in question has to do with the exhibit selection from a new anti-evolution museum.

It is people that think like you that got us into this mess in the first place and now that concrete steps are taken to change that and prevent future loss you want to dial back the clock. I got news for ya, it ain't happening. Well unless of course Hitlery Clit on is elected and then the Dems will certainly have all the control they desired, and all of the responsibility to keep you safe. Good luck on that last one.
