Twits will
say anything for money or attention. Sometimes it is both. Other times they say
their silly things because they actually believe what they say and THAT itself
makes them a Twit.
A case in
point:
"Carbon dioxide,
Mister Speaker, is a natural byproduct of nature. Carbon dioxide is natural. It
occurs in Earth. It is a part of the regular lifecycle of Earth. In fact, life
on planet Earth can’t even exist without carbon dioxide. So necessary is it to human
life, to animal life, to plant life, to the oceans, to the vegetation that’s on
the Earth, to the, to the fowl that — that flies in the air, we need to have
carbon dioxide as part of the fundamental lifecycle of Earth." ~Michelle
Bachmann
She might
have heard Mike
Adams try to make his point that CO2 in important in the production of
plane material, some of which we eat, some of which we wear, and some of which
we use to build houses. While Mike's ascertains are technically accurate, he
doesn't discuss the negative impacts of excessive CO2 in the atmosphere such as
acidification of the oceans, heat retention in the atmosphere or how
accelerated plant growth might be diminishing the quality of the plant
products. While bigger more colorful pansies and petunias may be valuable, the
food value of corn and wheat may not experience the same benefits.
Most
physical systems respond in a Bell Curve fashion. Too much or too little of
something is detrimental while the middle ground levels are the better numbers.
We can use
the wind as another example. Wind is natural. It is a good and necessary force
of Nature. We need it to feel comfortable on a Summer day. We need it to blow
the air pollution elsewhere. Too much of it is a wrecking crew, tornado and
musser of new hair dos. Too little of it and we get stagnation and pollutant buildups.
Rain is the
same way. Too much and we get a flood and too little and we get a drought. Just
right and the crops grow and can be harvested. Only a Twit would suggest that
more rain is a good thing when the ground is already saturated or inundated
from previous rainfall. The problem is
we have people who seek money and attention trying to tell the tale of a
Corporate agenda that wants to push the conditions represented by the Bell
Curve further off the center because that is where the profits are.
Days that
are too hot or too cold sells natural gas and electricity. If we were all
living in that center range of the Bell, energy consumption would be lower.
Other
Twit-ness for Sale and Display
When it is
open season on hiring Twits just about every topic will be addressed at one
time or another. During this period of time in the run-up to the 2016
Presidential election, we are getting all the Twit out before the camera and
the publics' eyes. While 25 out of 26 Republican candidates will fail to get
the nomination of the GOP, they still carry the messages that their sponsors
hand them along with the PAC check.
Too many
live births leads to a growing population. Too few live births leads to a collapse of the population. On the average the
birth rate in the world seems to be just right. It is only when one looks at a
specific sub-population that worrisome trends arise that makes political
sponsors fret and sweat. Too many
Hispanic babies in the USA makes whites nervous. But too few white babies also
leads to the changing ratio of whose population is bigger and more influential.
Consumer goods and services providers really only care about the total
population which translates into gross sales. They hire politicians and
pseudo-celebrity faces to tout their positions.
Gay
marriages are less likely to produce numerous new consumer-babies. Many new
couples have waited decades to marry and Now are not going to produce new
children. Even the "child bearing/producing" aged couples are more likely
to adopt an existing child rather than make a new one. This doesn't sit well
with the supplier of monetized services and the plethora of consumer goods that
earn revenues for the businesses.
Therefore it
is no wonder that Republicans are more pro-quantity-of-life while
Democrats are more pro-quality-of-life".
Donald Trump
is paid to say bad things about immigrants and he gets major attention when he
does. Who does he think populates the housekeeping staff at his any every other
hotel in the States? I suppose that he thinks that only undocumented immigrants
crossing the Mexico border bring drugs, disease and rapists to America. He uses
the Twit Portion of his brain to say such ignorant things and get a spattering
of applause from other Twits who like what he says.
The examples
of Twits saying Twit things way too numerous to keep going here.
