Wow you really can't get out of your own context to understand my point can you? That was my central point about Mao and of course it is a comparison, but not in the way Nabbie was implying. There was no comparison I have ever made that could be summed up in the misleading phrase "worse than Mao". And here is where I have a bit of an upper hand since I am the one inhabiting my own skull and know what it is I mean by what I express here. The darshon point is key to how I view the world. The other comparisons of lifestyle are minor points of how alpha chimps abuse power even if they have holiness in their self appointed name. You are trying to pull a trees for the forest Judy game and it is not going to work concerning the meaning of my own points. > > Nor did you contradict Nabby's assertion that you'd > said MMY was "worse than Mao."

Funny how you missed how I cleverly did correct Nabbie in my response while simultaneously exposing your double standards for correcting blatant lies about a person. But I forgive you because I know you are very good at taking another person's perspective here. BTW from now on, any missile Barry lobs your way is hereby labeled a bang flag on a toy gun, and I will delight in pointing our whether it causes you to get "freaked" about it. But only to help you improve your skills understanding other people's POV here. >
