I have 900 pages of substance at one site alone

So does Barbara Streisand and Rosie O'Donnell and Alec Baldwin and Bubba Clinton, and probably Osama too.

Are you saying that merely having quantity is equivalent to having quality?

Looks like RLK has stolen Alec Baldwin's "The Bloviator" title. Somebody call a cop! Hurry! Hurry!

Anything new or just the old stuff?
To be so prolific you must have something new out there.
As That Poppins Woman, Mary, stated...
Dadaism brought about everything new: new ideas, new materials, new directions, and new people.
Got anything new?

It's continually updated as I write it. What occured in this post is part of a 10 part mini-series written months ago. I have other things to do. In a few minutes I will be taking cut concrete block to the house I'm building. I'm working on a low frequency piezo-coupled oscillator. I need to get back to my laser and optics work as well as update my optical ray tracing analysis program. I spend far too much time here.

I to have questioned 'RLK' about his strange inability to communicate , when on FR, as well as he does through his articles.
- Suppose it's just a 'off the cuff' writing deficincy?

Until I came along you seemed content to stay and argue your point. Now you're leaving? So sad.
It's easy to expand on something already written isn't it. Must make your job so much easier.

He communicates just fine, Freudian slips and all.

If that short statement is removed, the article retains it's purpose, but your argument dries up completely.

Dude, my whole argument addressed ONLY that one paragraph.

Put down the scotch. Now. While you can still get up when you've fallen.

Your analogy of the man whose fortune is wasted at the slot machine having no right to talk about the evils of gambling fails. Just because a man can not control the demons that are destroying him, does not mean he can not accurately see that destruction and realize the root cause of it.

No, there is not an addict or alcoholic alive who, while in the throws of their addiction, can see accurately the destruction and realize the root cause. That's why they call it bottoming out, and while it takes a long time to identify the real root cause for the alcoholism/addiction.

There is use and there is abuse. And there are the significant and devastating consequences to society from the CRIMINALIZATION of substances.

Thousands upon thousands of people are killed annually, dozens from your own community, by alcohol and by drunk drivers. There is far less outrage over that than the neighborhood crack house bringing down property values, and making mugging/robbery targets of all the residents.

Face it, if no substance was criminalized, then we could designate appropriate parts of town for the equivalent of opium dens, and drugs would be very, very cheap indeed, reducing the crime rate.

You have unreasonably latched on to a minor clause in his statement and tried to use it to discredit the major thesis.

No, I haven't. I haven't discredited anything but the paragraph where the author engages in the same psychotic Dadaism he is railing against.

Perhaps RLK comes from an environment where illicit drug use has had serious and devastating consequences to the surrounding community. Crack houses in the hood, are nothing like suburbanites having a joint on the patio.

Those are the consequences of criminalizing a substance. If RLK "The Bloviator" doesn't like the consequences of his laws, then he should work to change them, and stop whining like one of Clinton's tossed trollops.

I had my plans made earlier. I sawed block yesterday with intention to take them up today before I ever heard of you. I'll be returning with mor block to cut tomorrow. I'm about to take the smoked sausage I got yesterday off the stove and eat it in a splendid sandwich. Discussion with you has little to do with any if it. I am now eating the sandwich and making another one. Afterwards, I'm leaving. If you regard any of this as a personal victory, so be it.

Ummm ummm. Now eating second sandwich and frying third. Must habe serious fuel in my body to manipulate 35 pound block. This one has German horseradis mustard on it. Pennsylvania Dutch potato bread also adds to the goodness. Yummy in the tummy. When third sandwich is eaten, I leave for a while.

Stand before God with an open heart Robert, not me. I've learned that my judging means very little in the here and now. I just hate to see you deceiving yourself.

Now eating third sandwich. This has catsup on it. Soon leaving to unload and load block. Tonight will eat stew with beef, sausage, cabbage, potatoes, kale, mustard greens, onions that has been cooked on and off for four days in th crock pot. This will be interpreted as a concession of defeat and humiliation by some people in the forum.

No it won't. It will be seen as the vain ramblings that they are.

At times you sound like an angry spoiled seven year old girl. What, exactly, is your real complaint?

During the year 2000 Republican debates we saw two simpletons, John McCain and George Bush, taking the better part of an hour accusing each other's organizations of putting negative campaign flyers on people's windshields.

The American people were desperate to vote against Al Gore and the Clinton residue. Bush started out with a 14% lead. The more Bush opened his stupid evasive mouth, the more it became obvious he was useless and it was business as usual. America became disgusted.

You lost me there. Any writer who can't coherently express an opinion instead of name-calling has lost my attention.

Post 30...I sawed block yesterday with intention to take them up today before I ever heard of you.
Post 36...At times you sound like an angry spoiled seven year old girl.
Ah yes...you've never heard of me.
Isn't that supposed to be a twelve year old?
You sound like a child with his hand in the cookie jar.
Age indeterminate, just a child.
You really should work on your diction.
