Sometimes Cooper doesn't say what he really means in his editorial. I inserted blue text in where I think he was having trouble speaking his mind.
When you are in this business as long as I have been, there are a few things you learn. And I continue to learn. I have learned that many people's favorite recipe is learning how to make mountains out of mole hills. I have learned that no matter how much good is being done in a community, there are a few nega-holics around looking to say bad things - and quite of bit of that talk is untruthful, especially most of what's in this newspaper.
I have learned that most people in today's society want everything in an instant. When people look at me, they instantly want to look away. When they stand downwind of me, they instantly want to plug their nose.
I have learned that some things of high quality involve a process. I have learned that a fool always finds a greater fool to admire them, and that is usually a sole county commissioner and a silly little newspaper editor who has a crush on him.
I have learned that if you try and convince kids to stop using drugs, kids will likely ignore you. In my case it probably wouldn't matter what I was trying to say to them, because they all think I'm a creepy little troll. I have learned that if we convinced parents to stop using tobacco, alcohol and drugs, we wouldn't have quite so many kids on drugs. I have learned that many critics attacking those who achieve are functioning with a film-mentality in a digital world. I have learned that no matter how good the soil is, there will always be some grub worms of negativity crawling around who really get under my skin. I have learned that nega-holic grub worms congregate on forums and those who provide the opportunity dislike me because I smell like an armpit. How dare they allow free speech? My squeaky little voice should be the only one heard in this town! I have learned that at 211 degrees, you can have hot water. I have learned that at 212 degrees, you boil water and the steam from it can run a locomotive. But I still have not learned proper hygiene.
I have learned that although you can get ice and steak from the same freezer, they have different uses. I have learned that when folks post comments on idiots.com forums, it really really frustrates me. I cry, poop my pants, and call them names in columns like this. That will show them! I am well respected, how dare they not bow down before me!
I have learned that I can spell 100,000 names incorrectly and no one will say anything, because everyone understands I'm an idiot. I have learned that you can misspell one name, and that person won't shut up about it. And this is my way of letting them know I will not hesitate to write about them if they don't shut up and kiss my flabby butt. I have learned that it is true you never forget how to ride a bicycle. I have learned that despite having that knowledge, the more of a lardo I become the harder it is to do.
I have learned that people's tongues are like a fire - it can be a good thing and help or it can be a bad thing and used to destroy. I have learned that when you reach the age in life when you should know better, you have reached that stage in life where you realized you are glad you did not miss some of the fun stuff before you knew better.
I have learned that when you make comments as I have in this column, few people will read it, but many will hear about it and will laugh at me behind my back. I have also learned these same words won't help me get over the fact that the grubs made me upset. Now I have to go cry and poop my pants again.
