A COMMENT ON THE BILL COSBY JOKE OF THE DAY I POSTED TODAY........................ AFTER BEING ON FACEBOOK NOW FOR FOUR YEARS OR WHATEVER, I REALIZE OCCASIONAL ARGUMENTS AND DIFFERENCES OF OPINION ARE INEVITABLE. I POSTED WHAT I CONSIDER A VERY INNOCUOUS BILL COSBY JOKE THIS MORNING AND APPARENTLY ONE GUY FELT IT WAS OFFENSIVE OR WHATEVER. O.K., LOOK, WE ARE ALL HEARING BILL COSBY JOKES NOW AND JOKES ABOUT THAT POOR YOUNG MAN KILLED BY THE POLICEMAN AND I AM NOT EVEN GIVING MY OPINION ON THAT TRAGEDY AND WE ALL HEAR 9/11 JOKES AND HE HAVE HEARD HITLER JOKES. WE LAUGHED AT MEL BROOKS THE PRODUCERS, DIDNT WE? WE ALL HAVE SEEN HOGANS HEROES, RIGHT? IS THE BILL COSBY THING WORSE THAN THE HOLOCAUST? LOOK MAN, LIFE IS TRAGIC. THERE ARE NOT MANY THINGS ALL OF US CAN AGREE UPON, BUT THAT WOULD BE ONE. WE MAKE JOKES AND I THINK IT EASES THE TENSION AND UNHAPPINESS WE ALL FEEL WHEN WE READ AND HEAR ABOUT THESE HORRIBLE TRAGEDIES. FOR WHATEVER REASON, POSTULATED BY WHATEVER CREATOR THERE IS OR WAS, LIFE, ALL OF OUR LIVES, ARE FILLED AND INTERSPERSED WITH PAIN, PHYSICAL PAIN, MENTAL PAIN, SPIRITUAL PAIN. THE HUMAN BEING IS AN IMPERFECT CREATURE. (ANOTHER RARE POINT WE CAN ALL AGREE ON.). HUMOR IS A SAFETY VALVE THAT LESSENS, TO WHATEVER DEGREE, THIS PAIN. I GREW UP LISTENING TO BILL COSBYS ALBUMS AND WATCHING HIM ON I SPY. I ENJOYED BOTH IMMENSELY. LIKE ALL THE REST OF US, I WAS DEEPLY SADDENED BY THE ACCUSATIONS AGAINST MR. COSBY. DO YOU THINK I WANT INNOCENT WOMEN TO BE HARMED OR RAPED OR GIVEN ROOFIES OR WHATEVER THE EXACT ACCUSATIONS ARE? THE BILL COSBY SITUATION IS ANOTHER IN THE COUNTLESS LINE OF HUMAN TRAGEDIES THAT HAVE PLAGUED US SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL. WE ALL LAUGH AT THESE EVENTS TO GIVE US A BIT OF RELIEF. NO VALIDATION OF THE ACTS PERPETRATED IS INTENDED BY ANY OF US. IF YOU WANT TO BE AN PART OF LIFE AND PLAY THE GAME OF LIFE AND LIVING, UNFORTUNATELY, YOU HAVE TO DEVELOP A BIT OF A THICK SKIN. FORTUNATELY, DESPITE THE COUNTLESS TRAGEDIES AND ACTS OF CRUELTY, MOST OF US ARE STILL GOOD. THIS IS THE GREAT BLESSING OF HUMANKIND.
