So, um, a constitution that allows for slavery is okay with you? > > But that still puts me leagues ahead of > you, dude. With all of your pretensions > to being so intelligent, Now just a durned minute there, bub. I'm on record here telling how stupid I've been for 30 years. Whenever I find someone else seemingly as lost as myself, I, naturally, point it out to them that they belong in my group, and, I sincerely wish they'd lead me to another one if they can. I know how smart I am to a fairly exacting degree, and I'm record here as saying that unless one is in the 1/2 of 1% level, say, an I.Q. of 140 or above, then one really should never think of oneself as all that cognitively capable of the nuanced thinking that even the most common challenges require one to have if clarity is sought. I'm not that smart, and I've said so here many times. My "pretensions" are those of Socrates -- I know nothing, but I know very very well what "nothing" means. Do you? I do, and I've written about nothing here hundreds of times. I know nothing so well, that "something" (its opposite) is thusly defined, and, thereby, I know that if someone is saying they know something, well then, I'm hoping they're right, cuz knowing nothing is a drag in a world full of somethings. you've now fallen > for two of Shemp's *obvious* trolls in a > row.

If your haughty stance about me doesn't include a clarity that you too can be fooled at any moment by even a dunce, then prepare for thy doom. I did a light search and came up empty on anything Shemp wrote about a hospital and to which I'd replied.

If you > are so smart, why didn't you? :-) :-) :-) I've met many a ten year old who had insights I knew not of -- in fact, all ten year olds have deep knowledge about life but they haven't been educated about how to talk about it. Do you think that if you were somehow magically put inside a ten year old's mind that you go: "Ho hum, how uninteresting?" It would be a freaking alien world, dude. They're out of the box -- only another eight to sixteen years more education will get them inside the box as deeply as you and I are. Edg
