YOUGHAL, IRELAND – There being nothing serious to report from the financial front…
…we go back to our sideline job: irritating our dear readers.
Slimy and Hideous
Yes, “Bad Guy” Theory is on the table. We were set to heave it over the side, like a fish too small to meet the legal limit. But after reading our reader mail… followed by a restless night of prayer, meditation, and hard drinking… we decided to look further.
And from what we can see, it is slimy and hideous.
“Bad Guy” Theory (BGT) maintains that there are some people who are good, and others who are bad.
The good ones think they can spot the bad ones… and that they have the right and duty to kill them, because… well… they’re up to no good.
Many readers believe BGT is essentially right; they know damn well who the bad guys are… and think your editor is an SOB for suggesting otherwise.
Writes one, referring to Muslims, Iranians, or Palestinians (we’re not sure which):
If they could, they’d kill you, me, and our families.
We have some personal experience with Iranian people. We lived in Paris for many years and knew, casually, a family of Iranians.
