A cartoon that isn't funny

[Dragonfli]

42. Sorry I AM an asshole, I should fix that someday. I like to state exactly what I think

without worrying too much if it hurts someone's feelings, it is a horrible character flaw I have developed these past dozen or so years because, I believe, right or wrong (and I could be wrong) things are getting exponentially worse for this country and the world in general, leaving us much less time to repair things than we actually have. I simply think we have run out of time for politeness, coddling those in denial, or showing sensitivity towards either fanatical hero worship or apathetic quietism. It shows, and people rightly are offended by me quite often.

Take a moment and think, perhaps accidentally you are making a huge error in judgment regarding the possible motives and/or intentions of the author of this cartoon.

No, it does not make any sense at all to claim or believe that "Libertarians are usually the ones complaining about this shit" and it is a really uninformed assumption "that one of them would write something like this."

They rail against what the author appears to think about the value of universal free education and support of the population, again it is like an anti-libertarian complaint, in fact, it would be far more reasonable to assume a Ron Paul supporter would be disgusted by this cartoon. They like to complain, sure, but their complaint would be the exact opposite of this IMO valid and reasonable complaint about our nation's attitude towards education.

Their toon would make the argument that we are hurting our country by spending any money at all for education, and would claim it is the responsibility of each individual, no matter their resources, to find a way by God to to educate themselves! Perhaps make a clever invention and get rich enough to be able to afford some private, completely for profit university, even tho one would probably need an excellent education to create such a clever profit making thing before they get rich and can thus afford that education. They are not only selfish, they are a bit crazy, and their theories are pretty damn stupid any way you look at them.

This is the closest I have come to making an apology here in probably 7 or 8 years, so feel coddled and comforted by that rare honor.
