Ok…just now seeing the GloLady response ...Mr. Shanafelt, any ideas why I receive notifications of comment follow-ups sometimes and sometimes not? It seems to be fairly common…
Wow, where do I start….
I must admit I’m tempted to let this pass because I value my privacy and anonymity on these forums. But the self-righteous BS posted directly at me makes me not only laugh out loud at the hubris but also gives me an overwhelming desire to lay out of a well-deserved smackdown.
So, let us proceed….
Why? did you missed my Bele Chere 2008 show that I featured Mountain Xpress?
WHAT? What the hell does this sentence mean? Really? What are you trying to convey with this sentence?
First of all, do you have ANY comprehension of the english language. Is it your second language? Truly, I will never comment again on your complete lack of even the basic grasp of grammar if you were raised in, say, Slovenia.
Or because I use my 1st Amendment Right of Free Speech?
Hate to break it to you my dear, the Mountain Xpress has complete control of what is posted on these forums. Your right to free speech does not exist here. And my comment about your endless self-promotion was an, rather lame I admit, attempt at getting ‘The Man’ to put an end to your endless prattle about your tv show. Plenty of people on these forums are local musicians, artists, authors, business owners, etc. and seem to be able to refrain from self-promotion 99% of the time. Whereas, for you, every other post is about your freakin’ show.
Utilizing URTV to produce content that is not seen on Main Stream Media.
For some reason people watch it without me having to endlessly drone on about it in every other post. Or, for that matter, bring it up at all.
Providing Solutions for Change to the problems in Society.
Please tell me the solutions you provide. Telling people about crystals? Your, obviously, fake ESP talent? Solar flares? How the HELL is that providing solutions to problems in this society? Getting people to believe alien beings are coming from the pleides to usher in a new era of consciousness, or whatever New Age BS you currently spout, is just as bad as christianity telling people “Don’t worry, follow our rules and everything will be OK when THEY come to save us all.” Think Happy ThoughtsTM and the world will magically change into a better place?
Gimme a break. If you truly believe that you are providing solutions to change actual problems in our society (hunger, homelessness, disease, oppression, etc.) then you are SERIOUSLY delusional and probably shouldn’t be allowed to operate heavy machinery.
Please Tell Us….. what do you do for the Betterment of Humanity?
Apparently unlike you, I strive to achieve tangible results in the here and now. I help inform people of what is going on in our world. Not about crystal forces or vortexes or alien visitors, but about real-life concerns: the corporate interests that control our governments, the politicians who lie and deceive in their quest for fame, fortune, and power. About the very real and documented rape of our environment. About the struggles of people in other countries, and in this one, to achieve self-determination and autonomy. I document police brutality. I plant gardens and help feed the homeless. I make movies that highlight the imminent destruction of unique cultures. I march in the streets and yell at the top of my voice. I build houses that are completely off the grid. I’m learning to hunt my own source of protein. I learn about herbs and how myself and my friends and family can use them to stay healthy.
Basically I DO…instead of endlessly talking some ethereal BS that, as far as I can tell, is doing nothing for humanity, only something for your ego…
I guess to sum it all up…you can shove it.
I know there’s a whole bunch of complete sentences found in the preceding paragraphs. I hope you can decipher them. They do make a crystal for that, don’t they?
