(27,137 posts)...regarding taking seriously the statements of ''some'' comics, in this instance the point is quite apt in my view.
The court jester was at one time venerated because they were the only ones who could openly state the TRUTH to the King/Queen in a comical manner -- that which could not be said by their Counsel, Advisers and/or The Courtiers, for fear of losing their heads.
While I will not in this instance try to speak for others on this issue, as to what is being ''taken too literally,'' in actuality I take none of it seriously at all. To me it's all rather absurd nonsense as far as I can see. And, (once again like George Carlin), I'm just here at The Greatest Monkey Show On Earth as an observer.
- Although it is no longer entertaining. Just mostly repetitiously boring and barbaric......
