I hereby dub her Hefty Heffernan. ( grin)

“Heffer” has its conotations.

Interesting morphology:

Heff - er -nan

........ the phonemes combine to sound German, but not so.

Contrary to an assumed Teutonoic conclusion that it is a German name, its actually from the Gaelic O’hIfearnain.

She likely has type “O” blood.

All this adds up to the fact that she actually has a perfectly good lineage which somehow has been wasted.

One of her books : “The Internet as Art argued that the Internet is a “massive and collective work of art”, one that is a “work in progress”,[1] and that the suggested deterioration of attention spans in response to it is a myth. “

Increasingly we live in a strictly “imaginary” world rather than earth born reality, because of the “internet.”

That may be the greatest enemy of human freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Hefty Heffernan is on the wrong side of History.A new age spinner in the line of Joseph Goebbels.

But you will find as others do, that your research GROUNDs reality. That sometimes is why people take offense. They are secure in their alternate reality until you point out the truth. And it pisses them off , sometimes no end.It certainly would piss of a Heffernan. Never apologize for it, because people like you are the thin line between sociopathy/psychosis and factual truth upon which freedom thrives.

And that is really the wider role of Free Republic now in the blogosphere as well, despite the continuous publication of alternate reality crap articles which must be continuously debunked, like the last one on the Great Australiam Brush Fires of 1974/1975....which NEVER HAPPENED.....LOL..

Let the Heffernans of the world support their own alternate realities. Neither you or I will likely be celebrating much of it, unless it leads them into self destruction, which is the eventual destination of their exit from the reality of fact into imaginary world as “ Art”
