I was asking a question. If the Fool answers it, I'll explain my reasons for asking.
Oh my god there really is a conspiracy out there; I have been manuevered into liking Clancy better than something else. Lets get real. This guy is of course a nut, but his fantasy is not a popular fiction
it is a wish (kind of like me wishing that Rebecca Romjin would walk into my apartment right now and
do unspeakable things to me.
Byron posted a scenario, described it as his deep dark thoughts, then explained that the reason did so was to show how undesirable a solution it would be. I believe I was clear on this when I posted the intro in the first place.
Okay, I admit it was a stretch to compare the guy to Tom Clancy... they do have one thing in common though: they're both terrible writers.
Of course I am not planning on this but I do wish it would happen). I am also a bit suprised by the
moral relativism that I see here. Some right wing nut says something horrible and a moderate or liberal
complains. When the bad thing can't be denied the answer is that all groups do it.
Um.... were you referring to something I wrote? What was it exactly? What 'all groups' reference are you talking about?
This may be true but it matters very much how often all groups do something and how members of the group respond to bad things coming from their group. The statement that everyone strikes out does not mean that Jason Giambi and I are equal. I think the right does it more and excuses itself when it gets caught. We forgive Rush for his little drug problem; poor man was addicted to pain killers and had to get drugs illegally (by the way; I am a doctor and I have serious doubts about how often people get addicted to pain killers because of problems like chronic low back pain. Most people get addicted because they want to get high). No conservative raises an eyebrow about the timing of Rush's decision to enter rehab. Do you think a democrat would get cut the same slack?
ROFLMAO! Are you accusing me of being a _right-wing Republican_??? HA! LOL!
FYI, I'm pro-choice and I voted for Clinton twice and Gore once. With that in mind, ask Kevin 'VRWC' Tarr and JDG how right-wing I am. Somehow I doubt they'll agree with ya. ;-)
So enough of this crap. Quit ganging up on the Fool (my god more of the nasty conspiracy - now I am defending the fool).
Nope. I stand by everything I posted.
Fool rants on the list constantly about how the Bush administration is twisting everything we hear. (And to repeat myself onlist, I do agree with that (although perhaps not to such an extreme, paranoid extent that he does)... they have elevated spin control to a fine art.) Then, he twists a story himself in order to prove a point.
Please explain to me why the Fool's own hypocrisy should not be pointed out to him?
