...ignorance is proud of itself and when presented with something other than itself, runs away.

If one wants to confront me with moral indifference, one cannot insist that they didn't ask for a response.

The "screed" is a remark demonstrating that you "didn't ask" because you, um, don't give a rat's ass about 7 million deaths per year from air pollution, a fact which I feel compelled to point out.

Whenever I confront fatal ignorance, I certainly do feel better when I confront it, whether it is racism, hatred or, as in this case, indifference.

I hear a lot of stuff from ignorant people, and much of it doesn't stick in my mind, but, um "fried metal" is a classic though, as amusing as anything can be when one is talking, as I am, about 70 million deaths per decade.

Have a nice day tomorrow. Like I said earlier, don't go near the ocean.
