I can't believe I read the whole damn thing...
...it's sorta like watching a prolonged icy freeway pileup -- unbelievable horror as the grotesque, the comic, the nauseating, and red anger whirl around one another, like screeching and torn metal shrieking down the concrete pavement and retaining walls. All it took was one really, really, really badly impaired 'driver' to start the wreck.
Our Master Charlie Wenzel is a wonderful study in the sociology of our increasingly pathological civilization. He has everything, including the privilege of living in one of earth's most pleasant spots, born and raised to parents who to all appearances can afford him advantages that 98% of the world's kids will never see.
What a waste of a good karmic slot, spent on young Wenzel. What a waste of all the potential to be citizen worth having in our Republic. Is this the 'end product' of our politics, ethics, moral, and civil aspirations? If so, and the future depends upon such "Wenzel's", we are well and truly screwed. Retention of an ethically productive business/material culture and a sociopolitical climate that fosters a morally responsible citizenship cannot be sustained on the shoulders of Charlie Wenzels.
As well, the fellow's actual ignorance and stupidity is exemplary. Is this the best mind we can produce? He's a nearly illiterate second rate con-artist that is so oblivious to the consequences of his crudely executed actions, that he can't even recognize his own imminent destruction -- in greater or lesser degree. He is clueless, both in his missing sense of culpability and his blindness to his very obvious and transparent duplicity.
How many Charlie Wenzels were weaned on MTV, Hollywood fantasies, cable TV, video games, nihilistic popular music, and then never matured past childhood in the sheltered halcyon community of the parents? Parents who actually have a comfortable income, as opposed to most of the parents in our world. How many 'American' Charlies like this are out there, Oh, my country?!!!
As well, his sense of immunity from consequences is dangerous to both himself, and those connected with him. He has no realization that there are folks who would do him, and those with him, great harm for far less cause than his little escapade. I'll warrant that there are folks here who have followed his heaping up of this shitpile, who never will say anything about their plans: now, or after they take care of business.
Legality and the criminal laws do not enter their world or it's equations, except only in the most superficial 'traffic law' sort of way. They know how to keep a low profile. You older guys know exactly the sort of fellow who is a pretty good fellow, honors his obligations, values his friends and is valued by them, earns a decent wage with his hands, is independent as hell, and does what pleases him, when it pleases him. He may even miss his 'old days'.
Charlie, better you should cheat a crack-dealer than cross such a man. And you'll never know it, Charlie, till your casual criminal greed, alligator mouth and juvenile attitude call his name. Then you won't have enuff money, or anything at all you want to give, to meet his satisfactory payment.
Well, gents; thanks for the entertainment; thanks for sticking to the task and showing that the 'Net IS NOT a fail-safe hidey hole for wrong dudes; and thanks for showing that there are still folks who believe that there is right and wrong worth defending.
