Perhaps you’d be more comfortable surrendering your brain to me if we were better acquainted.
My name is Stephen Knapp.
I was born in Tucson.
I was raised in Evergreen, Colorado.
I have a bachelor’s degree in history, the attainment of which parchment required twenty-two (22) years and the intellectual contributions of no fewer than six (6) institutions of higher thinking.
I’m a freelance writer currently living in my piney hometown and working tirelessly for the amelioration of human suffering.
And money.
Also for money, I have at various times labored as a restaurant night manager in Evergreen, as the chef at a Greek restaurant in Boulder, as a graveyard-shift aircraft support monkey at a busy FBO at Anchorage International Airport, and as a helicopter flight-seeing expediter in Denali National Park.
Perhaps more relevant to our purpose, I spent four (4) years as a staff writer for Evergreen Newspapers. While almost Olympian humility prevents me from saying it directly, my legions of admirers will tell you that more than a dozen of my feature articles have been honored to receive Colorado Press Association and Society of Professional Journalists awards, and that a dozen others were requested for reprinting in publications from Big Sur to the Chesapeake. They might also mention – on my behalf – how I made substantial contributions to two (2) separate volumes of Colorado history, and how I self-published a colorful Evergreen guidebook.
But I wish they wouldn’t.
It embarrasses me.
Even so, and in perfect keeping with my famously generous nature, I am pleased to offer my services to anyone desiring assistance at thinking, or writing, or some combination thereof.
Such persons are warmly invited to contact me at stavrosknapos@aol.com.
You certainly know how to spin a yarn into gold. Love this website.
Your climate change article in that shit rag serenity is the result of being a coddled little baby never being told he was a mediocre writer who lacks the wit or critical thinking skills necessary to understand basic science. You do future generations a disservice with your ignorance and bluster. Delete your account.
I appreciate your feedback, Abe.
And thanks for reading!
Just when You think you have heard it all, here comes Stephen Knapp with his ‘knapsnack’ full of stupid shit. To Stephen’s credit, I have never heard this type of slant on climate change as reflected in his recent article. Stephen, your Bachelor’s Degree in history and the influence of ‘no fewer than six institutions of higher thinking’ have not served you very well. Your article on climate change is not only ignorant, but also incredibly irresponsible. Not surprised that Serenity Magazine ran the article, they are famous for giving ass clowns a platform. Enjoy living out the rest of your pathetic life the world of fantasy you have built around yourself. Delete your account fuck face.
Many thanks for your thoughtful criticism, Logical Human. And thanks for visiting Knappsnacks.com!
I do not get a sense of tolerance from this comment. If one is certain of his worldview, he has respect for those who are not so certain.
Stephen, how on earth do you get away with your intellectual load of slanted bullshit. The Doomsday Clock committee , consisting of several nobel laureates in the field of climate science, rightfully claim climate change and nuclear arms tension are bringing us ever closer to midnight. Stephen you give the reader the impression the clock is pulled back 20 minutes till doomsday instead of the more recent 2 and a half minutes. Your climate science article leads me to believe that you work with the fossil fuel friendly conservative think tank the Heartland Institute. Serenity Magazine should be ashamed of printing such misleading data. Like the concentration camp in the movie Life Is Beautiful you can always find a bright side to anything if you wish to twist the truth into your beliefs but you ultimately are bullshitting yourself just to deny where you are and where you are going to meet the gas chambers. Get real Stephen. Climate change is a real threat to humanity and much of earth’s natural ecosystems and species.
I appreciate your response, Mr. Paige. No, I don’t work for the heartland institute, and not so very long ago I might have written your comments myself. But the thing about BS is that it slants both ways. Time and inquiry have quite convinced me that public climate policy long ago ceased being driven by science. Political goals are driving climate science now, and people with little or no interest in the climate are working frighteningly hard to suppress voices not in tune with the “settled” orthodoxy. I would welcome genuinely balanced and objective public discourse on climate change, but don’t expect to hear it any time soon. I think Serenity should be commended for making space for an alternative viewpoint. I respect your apocalyptic vision of climate change, Mr. Paige, but I don’t share it.
I’d like to use your picture of the Griffin Memorial in my Trail Ride Magazine. Would that be possible? I run a charitable foundation through which I publish stories that illustrate scripture.
