A++ The Dems never miss an opportunity to grab guns.
- sophist
- 1542, earlier sophister (c.1380), from L. sophista, sophistes, from Gk. sophistes, from sophizesthai "to become wise or learned," from sophos "wise, clever," of unknown origin. Gk. sophistes came to mean "one who gives intellectual instruction for pay," and, contrasted with "philosopher," it became a term of contempt. Ancient sophists were famous for their clever, specious arguments.
- philosopher
- O.E. philosophe, from L. philosophus, from Gk. philosophos "philosopher," lit. "lover of wisdom," from philos "loving" + sophos "wise, a sage."
"Pythagoras was the first who called himself philosophos, instead of sophos, 'wise man,' since this latter term was suggestive of immodesty." [Klein]
More info, interesting.

Anyone else listening to the families of the victims forgive the shooter? Powerful.
It has rained off and on since just before dawn, but we were able to finish a job we had-and I’ve been collecting from customers and paying the guys-that falls to me now that my compadre is gone...
With another lunatic criminal
Murdering and causing terror
Obama makes it all about him
Committing yet another error
The sophistry of his speech-
At once offensive and foolish
Made him appear just clueless
And maybe downright ghoulish...
With the victims yet unburied
He scolds, pushing gun control-
Proving it is about his legacy
And that he really has no soul...
I saw a bit of the relatives’ statements on the news when I got home-they are far more forgiving than I could ever be. You can’t help but contrast their example of Christian charity and love with what Sharpton and the other race hustlers will be howling about...
DH said last night that he likes Lindsey for president. He thought it was his last name. When I stopped laughing/gagging I told him who he was. Still giggling about it.
That is funny-what does he like about Lindsey Graham? I saw him on the news being saying people who bleme the confederate flag for that shooting or racism are totally wrong, but that is just about the only time I’ve ever agreed with him...
Oops-must slow down-get rid of “being” and spell “blame” properly...
I have no idea what his reasons are. He is a political lightweight compared to FReepers.
Those escaped murderers have made near my hometown, watch out for them. Headed toward western PA.
Stay in and safe there. But I don’t get why they have not made for the Canadian border, with or without a vehicle by the trails in the woods or little used dirt roads-or why they haven’t stolen a vehicle from one of the remote places they have supposedly been seen-if those areas are like similar places around here, there are weekend cabins back off the roads in the woods, usually with some food stocked in them-and often an ATV or other vehicle-but I hope it means they aren’t really all that smart and will soon be caught...
They must have help. Someone picked them up and they are long gone.
