I'm once again shocked at the way people are insensitive to other people, but will go to the ends of the Earth to protect a single bird.
Before I go any further: I am a Libertarian, not a Republican, and certainly not a "Liberal". I didn't vote for Bush, and I didn't vote for Obama. They are isomers of each other, and equally part of the problem.
Did any of you not read that she is in the process of healing and that she can't wear earplugs. Many people can't, including myself. They are a safety hazard, and terribly inconvenient. If you have a JOB, and go to WORK, then you probably wake up to an alarm clock, good luck hearing it with earplugs (How many of you actually work a real 40+ hour week at a job with a W-2 that you must be on time for, and how many are living on the dole).
Get rid of the effing bird, there are several hundreds of thousands of them in just West County alone. No body is advocating animal cruelty here, but you all seem perfectly content to let this woman suffer instead of inconveniencing the bird by allowing the bird to dictate her rate of healing.
The bird will not be in pain if you re-locate it, but yet you would have her extend her pain so that it doesn't have to move. Is this in any way logical? (No!)
What is with you people, are you all insane? How insensitive can you possibly be, you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
If ever one needed proof that the far left is more hypocritical than the far right, here it is...
To the person with the bird/cat problem, same thing. Did you not pay good money for the land? Is there not millions of hectares of public lands the bird could live on? When the bird finally scratches your cat (quite likely), your cat will get infected, and possibly contract an avian carried disease. After you pay the vet bill, you will feel less inclined to worry about the bird's choice of accomodations.
A simple, natural, and passive solution:
Make a drastic cutback in Kitty's diet, and the problem will solve itself in just a couple of days...
Go worry about the last 30 Rhinos in Borneo people.
Oh, wait, they not as cute as pictures of one of the hundreds of Polar Bears that have been drowning every year since the evolution of the species.
Guess what gullible enablers of big business, Polar Bears would still be drowning if we were in an ice age.
"Oh-my-God didn't my high school science teacher say we were living in the tail end of a minor ice age?" Hmmm, might explain why it's gradually getting warmer, and why only about 2% of those who can claim the title of "Scientist" believe that humans have contributed more than 3% of the total of the current cycle of Global Warming (Happens every 700 years or so, ask the Anasazi). Funny thing is that if they jumped on the Global Warming Gravytrain, they could make lots of money speaking to gullible, partially educated people, and yet the vast majority of those who actually make their living in the field of global weather won't touch it. Probably because they know that when people wake up to the fact that it's just a big scam to make money in non-existent "carbon trades", their reputations will be ruined, and as scientists, their reputation is worth more than a few hundred grand in an offshore account.
The last 10 winters have been some of the most severe on record as have the summers. Where's Global Warming? According to all the theories, our seasons should be getting more alike, not more divergent...
News flash people: Virtually all the major players in the European "Carbon Market" were arrested last week for bilking the public. The courts have examined the evidence and found that: "Carbon traders are trading in a non-existent object, as the whole market was brought about by the public fear mongering of a non-existent climatic event". In other words, the courts have decided after exhaustive examination of the evidence that Al Gore is full of feces (Didn't he invent the internet?), and oh, by-the-way, the whole multi hundred billion dollar market was completely unregulated...
FYI: The Ozone holes have been getting progressively smaller for the last 20 years, and it has nothing to do with the fact that you can't use CFC's to spray your armpits. Wanna know why? Because 30 years ago we had the worst solar storms on record and THEY burnt the holes in the Ozone. Moreover, every electric arc-welder puts out a tremendous amount of ozone (ask any welder why they always have headaches), more than enough to offset all the CFC's that were being released. The whole thing was nothing more than a way to make billions in CFC compliance trades. Just like "Global Warming".
Wondering why I'm digressing in so many directions that apparently have nothing to do with Mockingbirds? Well read on, because I will sum up my thesis quite nicely...
Remember the great Asbestos scare? Surprise, only the blue Asbestos caused lung damage, the white Asbestos fibers were too big. Guess how much blue Asbestos made up the total: Five percent... Amazingly, the companies like DuPont, who make non-asbestos fire proof cloth, like Nomex, made bazillions of dollars, replacing the same Asbestos they had previously sold. Their biggest customers? Governments, who, because of safety laws imposed by the far left, had just finished replacing all their fire-retardant draperies, with fire-proof Asbestos.
Then there's the greatest scam of all; Barry Sotero, AKA: Barrack Hussein Obama. Wondering why he's taking so long to pressure BP? Probably because they were his single biggest campaign contributor, over $378,000 (on paper). The oil companies and Wall Street gave to BHO at a ratio of over 10/1 over McCain. Who headed the efforts to require that all the mortgage companies make loans to people who even on the loan documents, couldn't show the ability to pay them back even after they were allowed to claim welfare money as wages to obtain the loans? BHO. Who is the CEO of the multi billion dollar private trust formed with funneled tax dollars that bought over 10% of Chase so they could triple their investment over it's failure and inevitable government rescue? BHO. Who was ACORN's official attorney? BHO. Who steered tax dollars to the hospital where his wife worked on the condition that she get a $200,000 bonus because of the importance of her work, and yet when she quit, that all-important position was deleted? BHO. I can do pages on Obama's shady and illegal dealings, just on the crap that was known about him before you all decided he was the Liberal Messiah.
Where did the $900 billion Wall Street bail out go? Nobody in the White House seems to know, especially Joe Biden, who in a rare sober moment, said: "We don't know where it all went". Well Joe, the public knows, because even the leftist MSM can't hide the fact that it went to all the Democrat Wall Street executives who caused the whole mess, in the form of multi million dollar bonuses and expenses, as payback for their huge campaign contributions. "But hey, we capped their salaries, doesn't that sound good everyone...".
We had to bail out GM and Chrysler right? (Wrong!) But where did all those billions go? To the UAW bosses that caused them to fail in the first place by the fact that unions by their very nature, enforce mediocrity and stifle innovation, thus making products that were poorly engineered and poorly built. Funny how shortly after that Toyota wound up facing charges by the same government that had just bought their competition for doing the exact same thing they have been doing since the 1950's.
Why did Obama hire as advisors and cabinet, the very same people that history has recorded as making the mess in the first place. Geithner, Emmannuel, Volckner, etc. etc.? How come so many of his crew has been indicted in so many felonies for underhanded dealings? Why is it that virtually everyone that works for Obama, is either under investigation, has criminal charges pending, or has had criminal convictions who's enforcement of sentence has been openly ignored?
Where did all the stimulus money go, it's been removed from the treasury, but where is it now? Why did we have to cram it through Congress before anybody had time to read what they were voting on, if the majority of it was not to be disbursed until 2013? How was this supposed to create the jobs it promised as a basis of it's necessity, in 2009-2010?
If the Health Insurance companies, the drug companies, and the AMA are all the reason why health care is supposedly such a mess, then why were they the biggest supporters of the bill, why did they spend millions in advertising and billions on PACs and downright bribery? If I have health coverage through Blue Cross/CMSP, then why am I considered to be uninsured. When was the last time a hospital turned someone away for emergency care because they had neither funds nor insurance (Illegal)?
So you ask, WTF is your point, what does this have to do with Mockingbirds? Glad you asked!
The same selfish, insensitive mindset that says it's Ok to make a woman suffer so a bird doesn't have to move, is the the same mindset that votes for "Hope and Change" when there isn't a shred of evidence that it can be produced, and yet there is a preponderance of evidence that, that person is a compulsive liar and the complete antithesis of what they claim to be. It's the same mindset that has supported all the scams I have enumerated, even when again, the truth was plain to see. It's the same mindset that has thus enabled all the things that it hates. Self defeative, living in denial, in a made up fantasy World, where feelings and emotions over-ride logic and facts.
There's a tremendous insecurity, and thus selfishness, laziness and false pride at the core of this mindset.
Let's see if I can get one response that actually says: Oh-my-God, have I really been behaving like that, am I really so lost in my own little World that I am insensitive enough to put that poor woman's pain and suffering over a bird, just because it makes me feel good to think that I am making up for my insecurity by helping that bird?".
Now that would be a good thing, but I'm not counting on it. This kind of massive insecurity and extreme closed mindedness is the petrol that leftists use to power their comfortable imaginary World's.
You'll be surprised to know that the far Right operates on exactly the same principals. They are as closed minded as the far Left, (but slightly less hateful about it, and a little more tolerant of those who think differently).
Before you start composing your reply, stop and say this aloud to yourself: "I just stated that it is more important for a bird to not have to move, than it is to help speed the rate of that woman's recovery. I actually said that I believe that her suffering should be extended, just so a bird doesn't have to be inconvenienced".
If that stops your fingers, and starts your mind down a path of introspection, then start thinking about your stance on all the other things I have talked about, and how wrong and misleading they have all been proven to be. Then you can question why it is that you feel so insecure that you want to automatically jump on everything that makes you feel good about yourself, without examining it to see if it is real, or just a scam.
Open your mind, and close your mouth, and enjoy the beginnings of clarity of truth, and factual logic.
I'll happily debate any fantasies you may entertain about the subjects I have spoken of with factual logic who's source's of information shall be universally acknowledged as objective and non-partisanal.
If you can't abide with using objective and non-partisanal information sources, you have already lost, and I shall thus feel no compunctions about shredding you as KATs are known to do.
Good luck....
