When I first encountered Judy Stein I thought, and said, that I considered her a shrewish old schoolmarm who argued incessantly about anything she could sucker people into arguing about because she was still trying to impress her dead Daddy with how strong she is. And she was a TM True Believer. In the years since, I have changed my mind. I now believe that she argues incessantly about anything she can lure people into arguing about because she is insane. And a TM True Believer. According to Judy, the fact that I have changed my mind does not make the first statement a lie. :-) And now, a fun comparison: "I have in my hands a list of 205 [government employees] that were made known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party and who nevertheless are still working and shaping policy in the State Department." -- Senator Joseph McCarthy, 1950 The list was never made available to the Secy of State, or to anyone else. McCarthy later claimed that he could not reveal it because he had to protect a communication from a private source, exactly the same argument used by Judy Stein when refusing to back up the following quote: "We recently lost an extremely valuable long-time poster because of Barry's nastiness and dishonesty." -- Judy Stein, 17 July 2008 Photo of Joe: http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2005/02/04/icon_topic3_feb4,0.jpg Photo of Judy: http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/photos/view/4c65?b=27 Coincidence? Illicit affair? People coming to look like their heroes? You decide. :-)
