” riot at UC Berkeley was “just the beginning,” “

Yeah I was talking to an individual yesterday who expressed a similar sentiment. Said he didn’t want a civil war but that this evil monster is asking for it and just wait until we come after him.

“We?” said I?

He defined “We” as “The Majoraty” (which he misspelled, probably probably a typo but it was funny anyway) I did not point out his error on either level as I was working my input mode. There are times when you want to listen. I have found that there are some for whom output is the default. They will talk and talk. I’ve long since acquired their point and I’ve attempted to interrupt their long stream of consciousness emission. But they are in Output Mode so their ears are closed. Best to just wait for them to run out of breath.

Once he completed his thoughts I started some subtle mocking of his positions by hyperbole. Fortunately he wasn’t really sharp enough to have recognized the ironies I was presenting. But when he let it slip about the “We” I had to consciously resist pointing out. This ‘We’ group in which he’s involved has intentionally disarmed itself. Guns R Bad. Perhaps the next encounter I will engage him in a 2nd Amendment discussion to discover just where he’s going to get these weapons to carry out his wee fantasy?
