Talking Points

[moon_custafer]

Snow made the bus trip this morning almost twice as long, plus I was stuck listening to an hour-long sermon/rant from the guy behind me, mostly to his cel phone, than later and less coherently to himself after his friend had hung up.

Think is, he was Rastafarian, which in his case at least basically meant he was a Christian fundamentalist *and* a left-wing conspiracy theorist. His view, in a nutshell and stripped of all the biblical/historical/cultural references, seemed to be that Jews, Catholics, scientists, Capitalism, gays, civil-rights activists, Hollywood and the US government are all in one big plot to ruin everything; any apparent political differences between them are just “misdirection.”

I can't stand sitting on a bus with rambling or screaming loonies. I'll get off and get the next bus. It reminds me too much of the sleepless two days I once spent one Christmas when my dad went off his meds. When I was living in St. James Town downtown there used to be this one woman who would scream about the KGB and if you got off the bus to avoid her she would get off too and follow you around for the rest of the day just to make sure you didn't miss any of it.
