The Creepy TMJ Look

This guy is creepy. You know why? Because he believes this life matters less than the next one. I’m guessing, of course, but look in this guy’s eyes and tell me you disagree.

As a general policy I’m personally uncomfortable with anyone who is looking forward to the end of the world so that their God can take over.

    From the article: "It'll be a long time before we fight a war over used veggie oil," says Claiborne with a sly smile.


    It's not clear what he's suggesting. Does he mean that everyone should use used veggie oil instead of gasoline? Does he really think that there is enough? Does he really think that switching to veggie oil is better for the world? Does he think that compounding world-wide food shortages would not contribute to war? Is war over food somehow better than war over oil (if that's what he thinks the current scuffle is about)?


    Does he really think that there are easy answers and that his group are the ones chosen to come across those answers and share them with the world? The answers are not easy and if we ever make it through to global prosperity (defined in any way you like), it will be because we finally decided to (or had to) make some tough choices.

    From the article: "It [the philosophy of this group] emphasizes caring for the poor and the downtrodden."


    This is a noble position. It is likely the reporter's fault, but placing the quote about wars over veggie oil at the start of the article takes away from the impact of this position (of caring for the poor).


    Groups like this could learn something from the main parties. Find a message that will resonate and STAY ON MESSAGE. Don't let your own personal tangential views become a distraction.
