I knew I could count on you to learn absolutely nothing from your experiences at the Ann Coulter Fan Club, Mark. That I-can't-be-wrong attitude of yours is why conservatives listen to me, a libertarian, with something resembling respect, while they dismiss you, a Libertarian, as an arrogant, self-righteous, dangerous fool. It crippled you there, and it will cripple you here. As long as you maintain that posture, you will neither learn anything you don't already know, nor influence the thinking of anyone who doesn't already agree with you.

Enjoy yourself.

Freedom, Wealth, and Peace,

"That I-can't-be-wrong attitude of yours is why conservatives listen to me, a libertarian,..."

But you're not a libertarian, Fran. You admitted that on the Ann Coulter (also not a libertarian, though she was arrogant enough to try to run for office as one) Fan Club site. On that site, you wrote that you were a "freedom-loving conservative."

And I've got no problem with that. Not many of those around.

"As long as you maintain that posture, you will neither learn anything you don't already know,..."

If this is where you're going to explain to me how the federal War on Some Drugs is actually constitutional, I'm ready to learn. ;-)

"...nor influence the thinking of anyone who doesn't already agree with you."

Sort of like Ann Coulter? :-)

"Enjoy yourself."

You, too. Hope everything's going well in the "Palace of Reason." (How close is that to the Fortress of Solitude?)

Peace, love, and alfalfa sprouts,

Mark A. Bahner

Good grief.
Big or little 'l', - makes no difference to the above line.

You are the pitifully arrogant fool, imo.
- I doubt many will continue to respect your opinions if attacks like this are your norm.
