I suspect you and I hang out in different crowds. But even so, drinking
alcohol is sanctioned by Western societies. That is no reason for
introducing other recreational drugs. And 12 year old kids should not be
drinking anything except hot chocolate (cocoa)....

What about all the other non-alcoholic [1] fluids available for consumption?

Hard to believe since Mr. Ed Dolan spent four (4) years in the USN.

[1] For practical purposes anything with less than 0.5% alcohol.

Henry, the cognitive dissonance is too much for me. He's all yours.

Ed Dolan manages to transcend the boudaries between being an idiot,
being a troll and being delusional; this is manifest in almost every
one of his posts. Why do you bother to engage him at all? He's a
loser who should just be ignored and then he'll go away.

Just so long as he doesn't own two guns. That wouldn't be acceptable.

I was curious though, what he would say about nicotine, since neither he
nor Henry brought it up. It's more addictive than heroin, the long-term
effects of smoking are fairly severe, and the cigarette and tobacco it
contains have been purposefully designed to be a dose-metering device for
the delivery of aerosolized free-base nicotine to the lungs (for maximum
addictivity). His answer suggests that rather than being opposed to
drugs in society per se, he just doesn't like other people having a good
time he is too scared to try. shrug

Don't forget nicotine.

Yes, you are right of course, but nicotine does not really give much
pleasure if you ask me. I smoked for 10 years in my long lost youth, but it
seemed it was more a habit than anything else.

I thought Ed Dolan was a lonely old coot posting to Usenet for lack of
other amusement.

That's just his schtick.

Ed's a satirist, and pretty good at it, too.

Satirists shoot high and aim low. And true
satire is a trap: ("Step into my parlour"
said the spider to the fly.)

People's impulsive, knee-jerk responses to Ed's
ridiculous statements are more ridiculous than Ed's
ridiculous statements. Tempests within teapots.

People who get upset about Ed should get a life,
or at least think about what motivates them, and
what's most worthy of their consideration. And
maybe stop taking themselves so seriously.

We all tend to take ourselves too seriously.
It doesn't hurt to be reminded of that.
I rather appreciate it, myself.


cheers,
Tom

Still ... Ed Dolan never seems to go away no matter what. I wonder why that
is?

How is Tom Sherman any different? In fact, the same might be said of anyone
who is posting to Usenet.

It is all a tale told by an idiot signifying nothing. But I am having some
fun. I hope the rest of you are too.

Don't kid yourself.

They're just not tested because no one cares. Regardless, some of them
are doping. Doping is part of Western Culture.

Dumbass,

I did the Seattle to Portland Fredfest a couple weeks ago. I met up with
some old friends at the first rest stop and rode with them. When we
reached the halfway point, they ALL pulled out pills and started popping
them. "This prevents cramps." etc. Thankfully, I had a bee sting self
injector strapped to my seat stay. I told them it was my heroin supply
and I fit right in.
