The Last Word

Since this is after all My Blog, I cannot and will not let the latest direct attack on me go unchallenged. I had made it my rule that the only comments I would not publish would be spam or sales pitches from automated phishers, and I had to stick by that.
But a comment posted to my previous entry (defining insanity) from an anonymous person is too much and I must give up. They or He or She or It accuses me of having no self esteem. Well, I wonder how that can be when I have the fortitude to stand up here and sign my name and show you my picture and tell you what I think of the world? It is has been so easy for you all to sit on the sidelines and call me dangerous and evil and sick and twisted and negative and hyper-critical and an embarrassment to my family. But where are your blogs? What do you any of you have to say about the state of this world that is spinning toward self-induced oblivion? Where is your courage to stand up and flip off the charging lion as he bares his teeth to devour the mouse? I may lack many things but self esteem is not one of them. I am the biggest smart aleck I know. I have the sharpest tongue of anyone I know. I do not miss very much, thank you, and I am pretty proud of the brain god gave me. I use it and I am glad that it still works well enough at my age to help me see everything that goes on around me. If I had any more self esteem I would get my own show or run for office. I am already insufferable; how much more do you people want from me?
What is the point of writing about pretty sunsets or playful puppies or God's Plan for Our Salvation? When I call such stuff claptrap, it is not to say that good things are inherently bad. Happy fluffy smiley stuff is fine; it is just worthless to the future of civilization. Calling attention to good things so as to celebrate them is being done by the MSM and countless institutions with vested interests and I don't care. They don't need my help to further their agenda. I don't ask them to go away; I ask you to think about the other side of the coin they don't want you to see.
But none of this matters any more since very few of you seem to get it. The relentless drumbeat from most people who know me "for real" as the person behind Tom H to cease and desist and rejoin the human race is now deafening. So once this has sat here long enough for you to all digest, I shall take the whole thing down. I wish I could say it has been fun, but the bizarre and completely unexpected reactionary reactions have outweighed all the good that came of this. If my attackers have done anything, they have steeled me to find more and smarter and sharper ways to flaunt my ego and my intelligence and yes my self esteem to get the message out that humanity is not a gift to this earth but a bane and a plague that will be the undoing of humanity itself UNLESS we see the mistakes and work to change them.
The goal was never to make you feel better after reading this. It was to make me feel better for writing it. Apparently, it worked way too well. I hope everyone is happy with the outcome. I know I am not. Watch this space; it will soon vanish.
