[Howlin]

Yes, you did. You said he kept Klayman out of CPAC, and he didn't.

Larry just didn't get his application in on time and he won't admit it.

[Howlin]

The lies are being put forth by Larry Klayman.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

No, but I see that you are a fan of Thoreau, who was an insufferable poet and writer.

If Thoreau really wished to live a full life, why did he go to live by himself in a $29 shack by a pond? Why didn't he ever get married, have a steady job, or pay his poll tax? The man was looney and a wannabe Emerson.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

C.L.A.V.E.

[Mo1]

Because they are.

Is that what Larry told you??

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Seriously...are those your own personal pictures from visiting Walden Pond?

Let me guess...you are a big fan of Walt Whitman too?

If Thoreau really wished to live a full life, why did he go to live by himself in a $29 shack by a pond? Why didn't he ever get married, have a steady job, or pay his poll tax?

I am currently investigating each of those questions. Along those same lines:

Have YOU ever gotten married?
Do YOU have a steady job?
Have YOU ever paid a poll tax?

The man was looney . . .

By the way, does YOUR shack have a pond?

[FreedominJesusChrist]

You must live over by Walden Pond or something.

I guess I just don't like his poetry because I don't agree with Transcendentalism.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

I am not a grown man and do not live in a shack.

Those Transcendentalists wrote some pretty scary poetry. For example, one of Walt Whitman's greatest poetic works was about how he stalked Abraham Lincoln's coffin all over America and then found comfort in smelling Lilacs, sort of like Ferdinand the Bull. It was one of the funniest poems I have ever read.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

I was not at all surprised when I found out that Whitman was gay.

[ned]

It was one of the funniest poems I have ever read.

I shall find out myself when I stop by the library in Concord. Tonight I'm shoveling manure.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Any other American authors you want to know about? Preferably from that time era.

I personally liked the Transcendentalist-pessimists, like Hawthorne and Poe.

And if you ever get to the earlier American writers, I personally believe that John Smith's journals were greatly exaggerated and that James Fennimore Cooper's stories stunk.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Well, I do not believe that you ever shovel manure. And I do believe that you are very intelligent and a intellectual.

[Amelia]

Tonight I'm shoveling manure.

Well, you have come to the right place! There's a lot of it on this thread!

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Have you ever read Dubliners?

[Amelia]

I personally liked the Transcendentalist-pessimists, like Hawthorne and Poe.

You'll grow out of it, if you haven't already.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Perhaps you should consider that I just like annoying ned.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Well, that is what I am taking for fun instead of an accounting class.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Forget about the Dubliners part, that ain't American Literature anyway.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

"You'll grow out of it, if you haven't already."

What? Learning something new everyday?

I don't think I will ever grow out of that. Learning new things every day is a definite intellectual turn-on for me.
