Most People and Some People

Right. So in a parallel universe, there's this guy Simon, and he supposedly met a pieman, but that's another story. So anyway this Simon veck says: "...because for most people in America and especially on the net, you either drink their kool aid or you are evil incarnate."

There we go, picking on Most People again -- everybody's favorite target. Ever notice that it's always Most People who are less intelligent, perceptive, sensitive, and fragrant than we are? True enough. And I think it's even true to say that Most People feel that way.

Most People once thought Bush was the kind of guy they'd like to have a beer with, so after 9/11 when he said Saddam is a threat to us let's go to I-rack and git him Most People went along. And Most People were for the war when it started -- that's a true story.

But then the war kind of got stuck on stupid and Most People turned against it. So it goes, as Vonnegut used to say.

Then Most People soured on Bush and on the Republicans, and after this bigass recession started in 2007, they got really sour.

So Most People voted for Obama last time around, and Most People like him.

So I try not to be too hard on Most People. They have their weak moments, their Duh moments, and their tormented gee-it's-all-too-much-for-me moments. But mostly, Most People seem to do OK. Except for when they don't.

And then in this parallel universe I'm speaking of, this distinguished chelloveck, or it might be a ptitsa, who is a spiritual agnostic comes in and says: "'most people' really mean something synonymous with either US or THEM when they refer to 'most people' - US when referring to a postive, and THEM when referring to a negative. ;-) "Most of the time", I think it's a holdover from our tribalistic evolution that I truly hope we'll evolve away from ...

1. "most people" are the same as US.

2. "most people" think like US.

3. "most people" are..... you know, NORMAL, and REGULAR people. You know, like US.

4. "most people" can't find their a$$ with both hands... you know, like THEM.

5. "most people" don't know what they're talking about.... you know, all of THEM and THOSE...

At least it's my impression that 'most people' may think this.... Or maybe it's only 'some people' that may think like this...."

Ah, well, Some People -- that's a whole different subject from Most People.

There was a time in our country's history when Most People stayed where they were at, meaning where they were born, but Some People left where they were and went west, to "make a new start," as it were. And that shows you right there that Some People are not like Most People.

And that is as true today as it ever was, because today, as the polls show, Most People like Obama, and voted for him, and say things about him like, "Yeah, Obama, he's my Main Man" and other lame things of that sort, because they are, as the spiritual agnostic points out, REGULAR and NORMAL people trying to appear cool.

But Some People are not like Most People, and don't fit in, as anyone who spends time around here knows. Hence the title of this thread, which distinguishes between Some People, Most People, and others.
