One nation under god where same morality must apply to all - Page 2

You -- you? -- believe you grasp reality?

You really should quit believing that one at once, sir. Nobody else here believes you. Might as well make it unanimous.

While you're at it, quit your damned hysterics about Barnett's book. A mature, well-balanced man knows when to have patience, instead of carrying on like a three-year-old. Or are you three years old inside a fiftyish body? Your intemperate language tells us this is so. Kindly write with your brain, not your neurotic cyanotic necrotic -- organ.

He's never managed it with me, Warch, nor has he found the way to engage me in ongoing bigtime debate without merely submerging the effort in being irritating. Not all that reliably, at least -- I remember thinking he's not stupid.

HM simply doesn't like what I tell him. Doesn't make it any less right. About the time he gets honest, we might have something fruitful. This isn't unique to HM, but something I require of all persons.

May the morality wars begin in the glory of god and the Spanish Inquisition.

Really? Did they do it on TV? If they did they should just fine them like everyone else has been. I am curious how explicit language is not ok for ABC, NBC, and CBS, but it is ok for cable and sat, where the majority of viewers are now watching. Anyone know?

No, he is far from stupid. Open dialogue is often more interesting than the form of "bigtime" polarized debate I've seen. When either side "doesnt like" what is said, it seems rather than examining nuance and perspectives, the tact is to cite questionable pundits and conspiracy theory. I like that HM asks questions that reveal the nuance and contradictions that are ignored in the black and white, simplistic I'm-right-youre-wrong-if-I-am loudest debate world. If you are really honest, facing complexity, thoughtfully, it can be irritating.

That said, I am fascinated by your perspective on national morality as well.

What do you think about a pardon for Scooter?

I would not support or approve of a pardon for Scooter, his current sentance is to short, but I fully expect him to get one from Bush on the way out the door.
