today's rant: the cold makes people stupid, originally 21/1/06

i sincerely believe that the cold weather has a dramatic effect on one's judgment skills.  here is why i think it is so.  here's an article from the AP.

"A homeowners association in southwestern Colorado has threatened to fine a resident $25 a day until she removes a Christmas wreath with a peace sign that some say is an anti-Iraq war protest or a symbol of Satan."  oh yeah, i can clearly see the connection between the peace sign and devil worship.  it's a fucking wreath!  A WREATH!  WREEEEEAAAATH!!!

"Some residents who have complained have children serving in Iraq, said Bob Kearns, president of the Loma Linda Homeowners Association in Pagosa Springs.  He said some residents have also believed it was a symbol of Satan. Three or four residents complained, he said."  3 or 4 out of a population of 1600 and change are retarded and pissed off.  holy shit, send the police!  call batman!

"'Somebody could put up signs that say drop bombs on Iraq. If you let one go up you have to let them all go up,' he said in a telephone interview Sunday."  so it's ok to put up multiple signs that say "fuck iraq up the ass with patriot missles, ha ha ha!", but a wreath is out of the goddamn question.

"Lisa Jensen said she wasn't thinking of the war when she hung the wreath. She said, 'Peace is way bigger than not being at war. This is a spiritual thing.'  Jensen, a past association president, calculates the fines will cost her about $1,000, and doubts they will be able to make her pay. But she said she's not going to take it down until after Christmas.  'Now that it has come to this I feel I can't get bullied,' she said. 'What if they don't like my Santa Claus.'"  i'd personally love to see that santa, probably tripping on x in an all-out, drug-induced orgy with his elves.
"The association in this 200-home subdivision 270 miles southwest of Denver has sent a letter to her saying that residents were offended by the sign and the board 'will not allow signs, flags etc. that can be considered divisive.'"  divisive?  4 people out of 1600 is not divisive.  4 people is a group of hecklers at a small concert who had a little too much to drink.  unfortunately, one of the hecklers just happens to be fucking the owner of the concert hall.

"The subdivision's rules say no signs, billboards or advertising are permitted without the consent of the architectural control committee. Kearns ordered the committee to require Jensen to remove the wreath, but members refused after concluding that it was merely a seasonal symbol that didn't say anything. Kearns fired all five committee members."  how did that conversation go?  "it's a wreath."  "you're fired."  Mr. Bob Kearns, you are a retard.  i will drive to colorado and shove a christmas tree so far up your ass, you'll be coughing pine needles until valentine's day.

if you want further proof that the cold messes with people's thoughts, i'll let you have it in my next rant.  it's guaranteed to be worse that this asshole.
