Too many consonants in my name - I better change fast to BNDGTFKD <- this is a test, let's see who can break the code? Only in private mail - not for use in public.

Just like the movie "JFK", every fairytale has at least one redeeming character. Are you sure you don't just have a crush on Kevin Costner?

This Garrison (as pink as you want to make him) took the bull by the horns and strongly fought for what he believed>

Garrison was, like Joe McCarthy, a drunkard. Like McCarthy his specialty was making false accusations, something alcoholics do with great frequency.

It took a jury of sober citizens a matter of minutes to acquit the gay man he falsely accused.

L8R. I want to savor this.

So, where did you get your doctorate and what was your dissertation. Even among newly minted PhD's it is considered bad form to display your credentials in such a gauche manner. The rule of thumb is not to mention it unless asked.

I'm an even better person for having read your profile.

I keep trying to edit this page and I routinely fail, so I chose to post only a few sentences. I will NOT reply to anyone who does not have a posted profile here, I shall consider them intruders (I got plenty of 3rd degree burns for not having my profile on day 1, 2, 3 and 4 - so I posted this. My most dominant ideas come from Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin, so I'll share a few that try to adhere to: Treason, trechery and lies are for the people who don't have brains enough to be honest. This above all, to thine own self be true. Experience keeps a dear school, but a fool will learn from no other. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting what to have for lunch; liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the issue.

Ilbay, is that you?

Great to see you finished school. Welcome back!

[devane617]

Hmmmm. Do you know what you are trying to say? I sure don't.

Is this you? A moderator at indymedia?

OK, simple statement of declarative fact, so even a "PHD" can get it.

If what you are posting is not a news article that you then comment on, it is, by definition, a vanity.

You are welcome to your opinion. You are welcome to post it here. You are not entitled to ignore the long standing conventions and take umbrage that folks don't genuflect to your awesome intellect.

Hang around, you might learn something. I know I have (witness my flawless posting where I never make errors of fact or style [/sarcasm]). If you do you might have something to contribute that won't be obscured by your ego.

watching the Oliver Stone (BOOOO! - scared ya', didn't I?) movie

ROFL!

Iliya Pavlovich (the plumber)

New screen name?

If nobody else has said it, and I'm not sure if it will be long term, but welcome to FR. Humor is tough to pull off (more so if in fact, you weren't really trying). ;)

But we could use some here.

That's MY opinion and because I think I may be risking nearly 7 years of membership saying so somewhat confirms it. The only way to avoid the 'DOGMA' as you put it is to openly defend your ideas and beliefs against those of others in opposition. Without it, we get lazy and start taking what we say for "TRUTH" without question and forget how to defend it. Example much of the Democrat Party today. Their ideas were once taken as the One Way by most and today they can't express a rational thought in the defense of them.

I don't wish to see it here and welcome differing opinions (but not without a fight... ;)

Having a PhD and wearing it on your sleeve certainly does wonders for your gossamer thin bladder, Little Precious.

[Kate of Spice Island]

Yo, Doc,

I already finished my dissertation and have one or two semesters of testing and measurement to go before I have my PhD, but you don't see me braggin'.
