So What?

Every so often when I’m working I’ll tune into talk radio.

I was listening to Sebastian Gorka the other day as he was taking calls. There’s always a moonbat or two that make things interesting. That day’s moon bat went on this tirade about how Hawaii was taken as a territory, the islanders not given a say whatsoever, and then later when it became a state. I’m doing justice to the fever rant.

Then something happened that I’ve never heard.

Gorka agreed. Outlined how it was all done and agreed with the dude. Then said “So what?”

huh?

So what? What do you want to do, take the island back? What’s to be done, now that you said that? Too much clarity for the nutcase, he kept on about how it was all illegal, blah blah blah. What ensued was a funny argument. And got me thinking.

So what?

The usual line I’d say when confronted by crazyiness like that would be “Get ter the pernt, Edith”

I get to that point when I read Adam Piggott when he’s writing about sedevacantism. So what? knowing that, what’s there to do?

I get the leave the Latin mass alone. I think they should. I live in an area, and a diocese that allows and encourages the Latin mass. I’m lucky, I suppose. But my so what follow-up would be why not take that train of thought back to 1054, and become Orthodox. I’ve done a lot of Orthodox reading, and there’s a lot there to agree with, starting with the argument over infallibility. Those guys haven’t thought the Roman Catholic hierarchy has been on the up-an-up for nearly a millennia. The Sedevancantists are a little late to that particular party.

But back to so what. That’ll be my thing. Identify when nonsense is happening and just ask “So What. Where ya goin’ with this?”

Getting an answer rather than repeating the issue is a start, I’d say.
