Oh my gosh! You are so right! I am so embarrassed... ok, would you believe I didn't get much sleep last night and uh, I'm getting old, and uh, I'm not very smart, apparently! lol

So what did JJW sing, was that "Up against the wall you redneck mother"? lol I know he sang something!!!

Hey Tex, what do you think of our Red Raiders in the tournament? Any chance?

Sorry it took me so long. I was using the self-search but not the one for the stupid forum.

That was a peach of a complaint letter.

Ok. my turn :)
My complaint about Mr. John Q Public III I am not short on words, so please bear with the length of this letter. To plunge right into it, I find Mr. John Q Public III's demeanor and pomposity downright apalling. Well, that's getting away from my main topic, which is that he is always prating about how we should all bear the brunt of his actions. (He used to say that he is the ultimate authority on what's right and what's wrong, but the evidence is too contrary, so he's given up on that score.) I am not in any way placing the blame on him for repressive pinheads who leave a generation of people planted in the mud of a prudish, antihumanist world, to begin a new life in the shadows of antiheroism. That notwithstanding, he is still culpable for plotting to alter laws, language, and customs in the service of regulating social relations. John's loyalists are too lazy to lift the fog from John's thinking. They just want to sit back, fasten their mouths on the public teats, and casually forget that John's shenanigans are based on a technique I'm sure you've heard of. It's called "lying".

Maybe some day, John will finally stop trying to utilize legal, above-ground organizing in combination with illegal, underground tactics to demand that loyalty to debauched pickpockets supersedes personal loyalty. Don't hold your breath, though. He bickers and argues over petty things. Of course, it's not that simple. Even though he insists that some people deserve to feel safe while others do not, I really believe that anyone with eyes and a brain can tell that he is the type of person who can look you right in the eye and, with an expression of the utmost sincerity, tell you any kind of whopper that suits his purpose. (Actually, he gives new meaning to the word "stinking", but that's not important now.)

If you can go more than a minute without hearing John talk about conformism, you're either deaf, dumb, or in a serious case of denial. There's a lot of talk nowadays about his ill-bred ploys, but not much action. When I was younger, I wanted to subject his snow jobs to the rigorous scrutiny they warrant. I still want to do that, but now I realize that some of the facts I'm about to present may seem shocking. This they certainly are. However, he has been deluding people into believing that all any child needs is a big dose of television every day. Don't let him delude you, too. I have a tendency to report the more sensational things that John is up to, the more shocking things, things like how he wants to obfuscate the issue so that one can't see what ought to be utterly obvious to all. And I realize the difficulty that the average person has in coming to grips with that, but it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt. That said, let me continue. His notions manifest themselves in two phases. Phase one: dominate the whole earth and take possession of all its riches. Phase two: rip off everyone and his brother.

John contends that governments should have the right to lie to their own subjects or to other governments. Sounds rather goofy, doesn't it? Well, that's John for you. The foregoing analysis is self-evident, even if it is sometimes overlooked. Less evident are the specific ways in which we should pave the way for people of every sex, race, and socioeconomic status to fulfill their own spiritual destiny. He should not be allowed to operate heavy machinery, specifically, his ego. Okay, that's a slight exaggeration, but you get the drift.

The problem with John is not that he's improvident. It's that he wants to ascribe opinions to me that I don't even hold. Under these conditions, his secret police are tools. Like a hammer or an axe, they are not inherently evil or destructive. The evil is in the force that manipulates them and uses them for destructive purposes. That evil is John Q Public, who wants nothing less than to intensify or perpetuate solecism. Mr. John Q Public III's policies violate the rational, enlightened claims of their own enunciatory modality. There, my ranting is finished.


whatever all that means.. my little brain got lost after the first paragraph :)

A little incoherency goes a long way.

Just ask any rambling political eminento who's got your ears bent and your wallet halfway out of your pocket while he's convincing you that it's all for your own good...

Yes, it was JJW who sank "Up Against the Wall".

Our Red Raiders? I have them going to the Sweet Sixteen, then getting bounced by Connecticut (barely). We can always hope for the best. GUNS UP!

FYI, your son might enjoy this .

I guess that's what cars will look like if we live in Anarchy.

LOL, Rush. I bet Texas uses that built in speaker on the roof to tell the kids to get right back in this truck, NOW. As they pretend they don't know her when she picks them up after school.
