A brilliant little snippet from a local cycling celeb's blog
"I couldn't give a flying @#%& at a donut hole whether or not human activity is responsible for the warming of the earth and resulting climate change.
Yep, you heard me.
Furthermore, all the Glen Becks, Al Gores and whomever else have decided to turn something so simple into a hot-button political issue can also get screwed in the nose.
For me, this issue is very simple. Cut and dry. An open and close case that goes back to a concept I learned a looong time ago back when I first learned to read. Yep, there I was about 5 years old headed with my best buddy to go swimming at the local pool. As we arrived and got our first whiffs of chlorine I see this baffling riddle on a large sign and it reads:
"Don't ee in our ool. Notice we left out the "p"!"
Indeed. How simple a concept is it that it's just common sense not to trash up the place? I mean, who cares if by everyone peeing in the pool that it gets a little warmer? The real issue is that it's just plain disgusting, no?
Does it really matter what the long term consequences are of taking a dump where you eat? Seriously, who does that?"
Keeping score implies something important is on the line; it begets passion, competition and even conflict. In keeping score we size up the issues we believe are important -- issues that we are willing to voice our opinion about without any expectation of accord or tacit approval. So call it how you see it.
