Cletus Snow and Fred, our weather spotters down in Owensville, have called in to inform us that Owensville is now out of portable generators and kerosene for kerosene heaters.  These items have been flying off the shelves.  Cletus and Fred report that salt and snow melt are still available.  No food outages have been reported in the Owensville area.  Owensville is receiving a light drizzle of freezing rain at this hour.

Conditions in Hermann remain the same.  Light freezing rain.  The parking lots and sidewalks are "slicker than snot".  Charlie and Winston urge you to stay off them!  Streets in the city are still passable, due to the fine efforts of MoDOT and the Hermann Street Department.  If you must get out, use extreme CAUTION!

Charlie sent us another photo from Ward 2 .....

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. – 1 Timothy 6:18-19

When God the Father sent his only Son to earth on a rescue mission, he gave to us generously-the best that he had! We too are to live generous lives, being “rich in good deeds”. By sharing what God has given us for his glory, we can store away treasures in heaven. Life that is truly life is a life lived giving and displaying God’s infinite generosity to the world. This is what we were created to do!

Editorial Comment: The Abnormal Psychology of Angry "Crank" Commenters

Published by Jimmy Oldsun, Editor

Date:  1/30/2011
Post:  1,599

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ..... 

"Crank" is a pejorative term used for a person who unshakably holds a belief that most of his or her contemporaries consider to be false.  A "cranky" belief is so wildly at variance with commonly accepted belief as to be ludicrous. Cranks characteristically dismiss all evidence or arguments which contradict their own unconventional beliefs, making rational debate an often futile task.

Common synonyms for "crank" include crackpot and kook. A crank differs from a fanatic in that the subject of the fanatic's obsession is either not necessarily widely regarded as wrong or not necessarily a "fringe" belief. Similarly, the word quack is reserved for someone who promotes a medical remedy or practice that is widely considered to be ineffective; this term however does not imply any deep belief in the idea or product they are attempting to sell. Crank may also refer to an ill-tempered individual or one who is in a bad mood.

The second book of the philosopher and popular author Martin Gardner was a study of crank beliefs, Fads and Fallacies in the Name of Science. More recently, the mathematician Underwood Dudley has written a series of books on mathematical cranks, including The Trisectors, Mathematical Cranks, and Numerology: Or, What Pythagoras Wrought. And in a 1992 UseNet post, the mathematician John Baez humorously proposed a "checklist", the Crackpot index, intended to "diagnose" cranky beliefs regarding contemporary physics.

According to these authors, virtually universal characteristics of cranks include:

1. Cranks overestimate their own knowledge and ability, and underestimate that of acknowledged experts.
2. Cranks insist that their alleged discoveries are urgently important.
3. Cranks rarely, if ever, acknowledge any error, no matter how trivial.
4. Cranks love to talk about their own beliefs, often in inappropriate social situations, but they tend to be bad listeners, and often appear to be uninterested in anyone else's experience or opinions.

I have found the Wikipedia information about "cranks" to be most helpful.  Sometimes we get "cranky" commenters here at Hermann Hearsay.  It's not that often, but it does happen from time to time.  When it does happen, it can be most discouraging to my junior staff writers.  Many times, I have had to step in to address the "cranky" commenter myself.  When I do, it has not always gone well even though I have tried to be polite and civil with the complaining person.

It seems to me that cranks have no interest in learning about the subject or person which they harshly criticize.  They simply have no respect for listening to a differing point of view. 

They will not read books (or any other kind of written material) on the topic they argue.  To do so would require them to expend some time and energy.  They will not talk to the individual they criticize and smear in an effort to learn his/her side of the story. Their motivation is only to speak (most often loudly) and be heard.

When cranks get into a defensive mode, I think it helps them more in the long run to be ignored.  I am currently ignoring one such crank who has come to this site repeatedly to accuse an innocent man of wrongdoing.  This crank no longer cares whether or not he has his facts correct.  He simply seeks to maliciously smear an innocent man and use the good name of Hermann Hearsay to help him do it.  That's why I am ignoring him!

Hermann Hearsay does not tolerate angry cranks, and we will NEVER allow them to use our blog site to publish and amplify maliciously false accusations about innocent people.

The longer debates with cranks rage on in the Comment Section of our blog site the more likely it is for the crank to write or imply any one or more of the following:

1. They are a genius on the matter under debate, a genius on the scale of Albert Einstein.
2. My staff writers who've researched the topic they have written about or the matter which the crank raises in a comment  are ignorant and don't have the gift of seeing the "real" truth and are unwilling to perform investigative due diligence. 
3. My staff writers and I are or ought be afraid of them for some reason or another.
4. They (and others) are watching me and my writers, implying that we should be concerned for our own physical safety.
5. And so on to include cursing, threats and intimidation of every kind imaginable.

Obviously, the more they say stuff like this the less likely they are to have an "oops, I was wrong" moment.  Consequently, I think elongated debates reinforce their resistance to being educated in the facts of the matter which they haven choosen to argue.

Thus, it often seems that the only choice which I am left with is to just ignore them.

"Jobs are disappearing from every sector of the economy, from engineering to health care workers, forcing hundreds of thousands of families into unemployment and low-paying jobs."  ~ U.S. Congressman Jerry Costello (D-IL)

Commentary:  Isn't it funny how politicians are so perceptive when it comes to recognizing the obvious but so terribly inept when it comes to doing something about it before it has actually occurred.

“Then the Lord said to me, ‘Go; I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’” The crowd listened to Paul until he said this. Then they raised their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He’s not fit to live!” – Acts 22:21-22

When the apostle Paul made this statement to his Jewish listeners it was too much for them to bear. They would have to expand their views and accept that God was moving beyond their Jewish cultural borders. This strange new teaching that came from Jesus Christ threatened their very identity as a people. Like the Jews of Paul’s day, we can become very set in our religious ways. Yet the gospel is always expanding beyond our cultural borders to reach the earth. Are we willing to embrace the discomfort of change as this happens? Or will we cling to the systems that we know?

According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were nearly 31 million people unemployed (as of August, 2010) -- that's including those involuntarily working part time and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting. "The Decline: The Geography of a Recession," as created by labor writer LaToya Egwuekwe, serves as a vivid animated 
representation of just how much. Watch the deteriorating transformation of the U.S. economy from January 2007 -- approximately one year before the start of the recession -- to the most recent unemployment data available in August of 2010.  Unemployment has not improved since this animation was created.  If anything it has deteriorated further.  Original link: www.latoyaegwuekwe.com/geographyofareces­sion.html .

Commentary: 

Pretty sad, isn't it?!  The politicians on a national, state, county and local level have promised you that they are working hard for their constituents to bring jobs to your community.  Have you seen them do anything?  Have you seen any positive results? 

The lesson in all of this is that we need to rely upon ourselves vs. politicians or the government.  That's what our fathers and grandfathers and great grandfathers did.  They build this nation on their own self-reliance and grit.  And that's exactly what we need to do in our generation!

If you're waiting on your local Chamber of Commerce to do something, don't hold your breath.  If you are waiting on the Gasconade County IDA, GVEZ and the politicians who sit on their boards to do something, don't hold your breath.  If you're waiting on your representatives in the Missouri State legislature to bring jobs to your local area, don't hold your breath.  If you are waiting for the U.S. Congress and President Obama to do something which actually works, you may find yourself waiting a long, long time!

Folks, you are going to have to DO for yourselves!  Start a small business and control your own destiny!  No capital to start a traditionl business?  Don't let that stand in your way!  Grants and low-interest business loans are available.  You have to search and find them!  Another option is to start a non-traditional network marketing business.  These type of businesses require no large outlays for inventory, overhead, employees, utilities, insurance and physical infrastructure.  They are home-based businesses which anyone with a little imagination and motivation can start. 

If you are reading this article and you are thinking that you would like to start a small business, I would be happy to offer thoughts and advice based upon my own experience as a corporate manager, a financial services representative and a network marketing business owner.  A small business of your own can be very satisfying and very profitable IF you are not afraid of hard work.  Robert T. Kiyosaki, himself a successful business man, investor, and author of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" book series, has written in his most recent book that "network marketing is the business opportunity of the 21st. century"!
Don't wait on anyone else to help you find a good-paying job!  Take the bull by the horns, and make something happen on your own!
