"Disrespectful..."Sadly immature..."<br /><br />"Disrespectful..."<br /><br />These are words we use when we live in a small town and can't say what we really feel...<br /><br />If you do, they will email you and call you, corner you at Farmer's Market or at the store... wheedle and wear you down, tear you down, until you take it back. But you will live to regret it.<br /><br />Intimidated, threatened, bullied, cursed... one has to be careful not to speak up or speak out for fear of violence from the psychos who think every meeting is open mike night to preen and blather their gibberish and the socios who clog the blogways with their paid dreams of a Carmel on the Bay without us. (Sometimes one and the same.)<br /><br />One sad thing about it is, it's too bad we can't just disagree with people or tell them what we think of them without risk getting stabbed or shot. Not that they would ever listen or pay heed.<br /><br />Yet, by not being able to be honest with them, they become the Beasts of Baywood, the Monsters of the Microphone, the Bipolar Bears of Los Osos -- good for nothing but paving them over with the biggest sewer Los Osos' money can buy.<br /><br />If I'm County, a Garfinkel,a Tornatsky or Kelly, that's real inspiration! And who can blame them on that count? <b>No one wants Perlman!</b><br /><br />Sometimes you just have to call a jackass a jackass (it's probably congenital), screen your calls, bar the doors and seal the windows:<br /> <br />Mental illness is contagious.TheOpenEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07106593208062341862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13758431.post-83228303761596768082010-10-04T06:05:32.981-07:002010-10-04T06:05:32.981-07:00SLOTowner sez:"Is it too hard for Alon to enj...SLOTowner sez:"Is it too hard for Alon to enjoy the poetry you post?
