So, you quit the TMO and Rama to go over to join Yahoo and Facebook and
Google. I guess we know now what you do on Saturday night. LoL!

Because I'm in a jolly mood today, I'll reply to this for the
fun of it.
Did anyone watch the TED talk I posted a link to recently?

It's really worth your 18 minutes, if you didn't. It is about
memories, and how they can be "edited," both by ourselves,
and by others.
Isn't that Judy's Whole Act -- trying to "edit memories?"
I just wrote a bunch of shit today because I felt happy and
felt like writing. If any of you enjoyed the posts I made, and
one or more of them lifted your spirits, that's just gravy.
But Judy doesn't want you to remember them as lifting your
spirits. She wants you to remember the way SHE sees them,
as a response to HER, and as worthy only of what SHE gives
them, scorn and derision.
By now some of you must have figured out the formula.
- First, pretend to be the "authority" in matters such as this,
whatever "this" may be this time.
- Second, pretend to "know" what the person you're ragging
on was thinking and feeling as they wrote whatever she's
ragging on.
- Third, pretend that everyone already agrees with you.
Do this enough times, and science tells us that some of the
weak-willed ones *will* agree with you.
