Jocko, with all due respect. You keep referring to yourself as "we".
I'm a real bad smartass and I'm trying super hard not to hurt your feelings. But that just sounds weird.
Are you sure you yourself are not an advanced scout for the ET invasion? We humans just don't talk like that.
And remember, I said "with all due respect" so you can't get mad.
I've been a platonic housemate of Q's long enough to see him be brutalized up one side and down the other relentlessly about this topic--usually by normally decent Freepers until this topic came out.
I fiercely believe that my housemate deserves credit for his vast knowledge and well seasoned perspective.
A lot of what I write on the topic is my own words and insights but more of it comes from my extensive conversations with Q in our daily relationship. And, often enough, I take fairly fast dictation as I write to post.
I just think it's more fair and honorable to say "we" because it truly is we--particularly on this topic.
