The cure for sutpidity is still unknown. Someone told me once that political discussion here is mostly a waste of time. Do you think he was correct? If you believe convincing others is the measure, yes. To help one crystallize their own understanding of the world around them, I would not be so quick to answer in the negative. I must say though, extensive cutting and pasting does allow one to waste time much more efficiently. Even if it does make you look like a dumbass because you can't make your case in your own words and in a concise fashion. LOL. "Concise fashion" was remotely possible? And that's why phd's spend entire careers and write entire books on the very topic? There isn't a bumpersticker version. There isn't a 4 paragraph usenet version. It is not my job to be concise in a bike racing newsgroup where I'm not getting paid, and it isn't even on-topic. I gave a lot of the necessary data, gave some pointers, and appealed to some authorities. But I can't crack a granite skull that doesn't want to be cracked -- the cost is too high. Mullin has the liberty to think what he wants -- even if badly wrong. Your argument can be brilliant and crushing, but you still look like a dumbass because no one will read all that ****. Of course. It is some pointers to authorities and data for anyone who wishes; before even doing it I knowingly resign to having it ignored and I assume it will be (Mullin ignored all of it). Barnett's books will be ignored by most people and they represent a lot better work than I can do. "Proving the case" maybe isn't that important. Injecting sliver of doubt to be chewed on over time may be all that can and should be hoped for. Oh by the way, it's "stupidity". Thanks. "I did not know that." -- Johnny Carson |

But you're the one who said individual liberty was the prime directive. I simply ask you to explain how that is consistent with contradictory evidence from the founding documents and history or our nation. Nothing you have posted has addressed those issues. It's not that my skull doesn't want to be cracked....to the contrary, I find it to be a liberating experience....it's just that, so far, you haven't really tried. |

Dude, welcome to the All-England Summarize Proust Competition. In the end the prize goes to the chick with the biggest tits. How come it's taken you so long to figure this out? That's the main reason that Henry is correct that there is no point in political discussions here. And why more people will read this than will read your voluminous cut-n-paste ****. Take your posting cues from heather, she's SR here. Although she occasionally loans the title to Ewoud.
