Dennis Stern came to see me today, I was little surprised to have a big VIP in the office. It just has as well that Louise was out otherwise I think there might have been a little disturbance. He came with his heavies one either side of him with completely vacant expressions. Quite a small man really no presence whatsoever no wonder he needed his men to let know people he was there. He has small fish like eyes with staggeringly thick glasses resting on a very small nose, just walked in and started talking straight away without a by your leave, no introduction whatsoever.
"What you have been saying about Corcas is complete slander and I will have you up on charges so fast that you will not have time to blink."
"And you are?" Thought it best to slow things down a little.
"Dennis Stern!" he said with all force he could muster in a somewhat quiet voice, more of high pitched squeak. I'm not making this up this is exactly what he is like.
"What exactly do think I have been saying?" I threw my voice a little; creating a slight echo effect (trick I learned from a ventriloquist) it makes you seem larger than you are. Gives you a slight psychological advantage, I do believe in stacking the deck against annoying impolite people who think they are in charge.
"You have stated on your rag of a site that Corcas is behind a missing asteroid, you have absolutely no proof to back that statement up."
"I think you will find that any 'Blog' is merely an opinion and also I did state there was no proof that your company was involved. I have been led to believe your company is involved, it is possible that I have been misled. Would you care to comment for the record that Corcas is not involved in harnessing the 19980 asteroid as a delivery system of the rare element you have discovered?" Not much room for him to wriggle out of there and he did not even try.
"You people just don't get do you! It has been forty-two years since we landed on the moon and what have we done since? We should have colonies on the Moon and Mars by now. Progress has slowed to a crawl in the western world, great we have faster and smaller computers which run slower because the software is loaded with features nobody wants. Yes we have breakthroughs in medical and genetics but what good is it except break nature's hold over man with regard to natural selection."
I was tempted to point out that he probably would not even exist due to those breakthroughs, but he had a head of steam up best to let him ramble along.
"Purely for profits we continue using fossil fuels pouring poison into our atmosphere why because we are lazy! The world has become lazy, we are stagnating. With stagnation comes predictably and predictably is death. It is a worship of the past."
I thought it best to interject here before we lost the subject all together, "Surely we have been forced back into fossil fuels of late due to the Nuclear Power Crisis, and in fact if we did not have fossil fuels to fall back on then we would be completely without power? Are you and John Howard just following Dwight blindly into the abyss or do really know what is going on?"
"Dwight is a greater man than you will ever be, he is a visionary of our time!"
Oops, off topic again. "So, about this asteroid, what exactly are doing with it again?"
"You and that Foilhead character are just clouding the real issues with your conspiracy theory nonsense, we know about your involvement with COPS. You are not as clean as you think are you!" He practically shouted (squeaked) the last sentence at me.
He about turned and left, not sure why he came really, he did not leave a lasting impression or any useful information.
Still I thought people would like to know how silly and fruitless my day has been.
