Never Censored

God really does work in mysterious ways, doesn't he? Apparently Ann Coulter broke her jaw and has, as a result, had to have it wired shut. Change truly has come. :P

Seriously, though, I wonder what she'll do in the interim. Consider: her job consists, essentially, of pissing on anyone either not in the majority or not big business; so, losing her voice reduces her ability to work by half. No doubt in the meantime she'll write a book or two ostracizing gays, atheists, and/or democrats, while complaining that Christians are somehow persecuted despite being in the overwhelming majority. Nevertheless, she'll still make ends meet (and then some).

Still, I'm not the type to take glee in other people's misery, but I have to admit, this is very poetic nonetheless—someone who makes a living trading bigoted prose for a paycheck gets her mouth wired shut. But, at the end of the day, despite many people hating her guts, I still have to wish her a speedy and safe recovery. As much as liberals and many conservatives alike would like to see her locked up in some insane asylum, hyper-polarized, inherently wrong people are, believe it or not, valuable.

From psychotic PETA members spouting nonsense like "no animal experimentation" to psychotic evangelicals spouting nonsense like "god hates fags," viewpoints in the polar extremes serve a valuable purpose: to the rational among us, their faults help to emphasize why rational discourse and compromise truly is the best option. Idiots provide us with a frame of reference to making informed, rational choices, because they can be relied upon to give us the wrong answer the vast majority of the time. From there, the right answer is a lot easier to derive. Silencing Ann Coulter would be a great loss to us, because without knowing what's inherently wrong (i.e., the opposite of what she says is "right"), it becomes a lot more difficult to know what's actually right.

So on behalf of all the rational, sane people out there, Ann Coulter: get well soon. We need you to tell us what you think is wrong so that we know what's truly right.

Cheers. :P
