Will miracles never cease.
>Yea, and? Those men, while all losers, are "whales" in the arena of ego.
"The key word there is "losers." Doesn't that severely undercut your "no ordinary, groomed for, inevitable" theory?"
No, hardly.
It demonstrates I didn't do a good job conveying my idea to you.
It isn't whether one wins or loses for those running for high profile positions It's that they ran, to start. Laying every facet of their lives open to scrutiny requires one not be shy, possess a mighty large ego.
>Wait a doggone minute there, *I* am the public. So are you.
"C'mon. Do you and I just swallow whatever is dished out?"
Well my friend again it isn't whether we swallow or not.
The questrion is do we [ever] have a choice?
See?
>For once & for finally, I might add.
"My thinking is heavily influenced by the doctrines on impermanence so "for once & for finally" doesn't wash with reality as I see it."
Taken in the proper context, it should.
>In one short week I've went from being labeled --by you, incidentally-- an optimist and now the polar opposite.
"LOLOL There's that impermanence thing again. lmao Ahem, I didn't know you so well last week. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it...for now."
Familiarity does breed contempt, they say.
>Clintigula & ruggy better damned well be careful, the path they walk is fraught with all manner of mines & hazards.
"That's true. It's a bet as to who will put who in the Park. And in spite of their myopic arrogance they aren't the only ones who carry daggers under their cloaks. The *army* might get them both (or all three) in Denver."
Denver?
Why Denver?
>Let's pray, hope, chant or whatever Steele's correct.
"Always do what you can do in the way you prefer to do it."
Always.
"Also stock up on cigars and popcorn. The show may be a stinker but no sense watching it without some proper accouterments."
From the mouths of babes.
>What I'm saying was at 60Hz with what you said, still is.
"I'll have to ask my teacher what that metaphor means."
Frequency, we're in-synch. {ol' EEs never die, just lose potential.}
"He has become a HAM fanatic."
Better than a ham who becomes a fanatic, I'd think.
Count your blessings.
"I may have to become one just to talk to him in the future. He hates the telephone."
HA!!
What're friends for.
>...as the ol' song went? :^)
"I dont know the words but the refrain is awfully familiar."
CS&N.
I suspect you're too young.
Have a good one, I'm outa here.
A few well earned days winter get-a-way is due.
Besides.
...we hijacked enough of this thread. ;^)
Denver is where the DNC convention will be. If they don't have a nominee by then...and Hill tries to take the delegates while losing the popular vote...could be fun.
...we hijacked enough of this thread. ;^)
This thead was nothing without us! /s
Have a great break.
