And for the record, I am not wise and make no claims on posessing any wisdom. For the record, I am just a dumb-ass.

And what judgments have I made? I thought I shared an observation and made a sarcastic and satirical reference in order to make a point and find some humor. Bummer that it is turning out to be interpreted otherwise. The bane of the "artist" - eternally misunderstood.

Not being involved is not possible. I am involved simply due to the fact that I choose to be here. I am not seeing how I have chosen a side though. Wouldn't it be more accurate to say the people are placing me on a side? Seems to me that those are quite different actions.

My choice of a "label" again is for humor purposes. If it sticks and/or holds some "loaded meanings" for people, why would that be about me? Why is using the various terms, metaphors, and phrases that exist automatically deemed "labelling"? Seems to me it's just communicating at this point, and there are some obvious miscommunications to clear-up because of "labels". However, doesn't the "labeling thing" required a said belief in such a definition? Do I believe my sarcastic rantings as "truth", no. It is true that I see a sarcastic slant on the circumstances, yes.

Or am I not allowed to have my own set of misunderstandings and/or misperceptions? And find and express the humor in the same?

-me (Getting more bummed...)
