I believe that RDean and Ken, while abusive, do actually believe what
they spout.


That's pretty funny. Kennie doesn't believe in anything......and
dicklet doesn't say anything.

While I disagree with most of what each of them say,


And who do you suppose gives a ****?

Oh wow, 20 questions.


Looks like just one to me......but then, I'm not a good reader.

That's the second step to recovery, admitting that you have a problem.


I do, I do.


Well, that makes roughly two of you.

And he can count.

it's obvious that they believe what they say.

Show me where I said that did.

You did.


Sticks and stones my little pretty.


True enough......but it doesn't make you any less a dumbass, does it?

Makes you more of one though.


I'd hate to have to put up with you in real life.


You'd hate it more than you can possibly guess.

On that we agree.


On this board, you're just a pitiful little person.


Yeah, not the sort of thing you'd bother with.......right?

Oh don't oversell yourself. You're no bother. I've dealt with
worse trolls than you.

No, it can't. "Congress" didn't "make" the Bill of Rights in the sense
contemplated by the Amendment, it proposed it to the legislatures of the
States. But in any case, the Bill of Rights (the 1st ten amendments)
is/are not law(s), it/they is/are a bar against Federal (and now, as
decided by the SCOTUS, State and local) action that the law promulgated
must follow, not laws made that citizens must follow.

And a close study of what the SC has popped as prohibited by the 1st
will show that, for the most part, they've been right, but it's not
their job to consult with a State's legislature while they draft law, it
is, generally speaking, their job to tell them when they've done it
improperly.

HTH,

By the way, did you call me yesterday?......or did I have a really odd
fever induced dream? :(


Yup, I called.

Whew! I was asleep again seconds after you called. Woke up about an hour
later and had forgotten about it completely. Stumbled about the house for a
few hours and then crashed again. Just as I was falling asleep around 9:30
I thought I heard the phone ring. Sat bolt upright in bed, said
"huh?.....Wayne?" and collapsed again. Woke up in the morning and didn't
remember any of it.

Hm......come to think of it, this must all have been Friday, not yesterday.
Yesterday was kind of foggy too, though. Last night, with a steely
determination born of desparation, I even tried what my Romanian/Californian
friend calls the "hat cure". You lie in bed on your back with a hat perched
on one foot (he didn't specify which foot......I don't think it matters) and
then drink whiskey till you see two hats. Didn't have any whiskey. Used
red wine. Didn't work......ran out of wine. :(

So, like, I got the ****in' plague ain't enough!......Becky hauls my still
feverish ass out of bed at 7:00 this morning and says "Come on. You're
going to yoga with me!" "huh?......yoga?" quoth I, rather wittily (I think)
considering the circumstances. "It's good for you." Well.....yeah.....I
guess.....sit on a mat, do a little deep
breathing....meditate....chant....whatever.....can 't hurt, I s'pose. Sweet
merciful Christ, they like ta ****in' killed me! I got twisted....I got
stretched....I got pummeled! I did down dogs, up dogs, warrior stances,
crows, pigeons and whatnot all animals.

"Turn your head." she says.
"Like this?" sez I.
"No, like THIS!"
"AAAAAAAAAHHH! AAAAAAAAHHHH! AAAAAAAAHHH!"
"Now, look down."
"Down? Um.....what are those bumps?"
"Those are your vertebrae."
"Vertebrae? AAAAAAAAAHHH! AAAAAAAAHHH! AAAAAAAHHH!"
"Oh, stop being silly!"
"Silly? Where's my left leg?"
"Right there!"
"Th.....? AAAAAAAHHH! AAAAAAAAAHHH! AAAAAAAAHHH!

I escaped......eventually......well, most of me.

Anyway, it all came back in a flash.....um.....well, o.k., sort of a dull
fizz to be more precise.....when I saw your name on the screen this morning.

I owe you half a lunch.

Fat lot of good it's gonna do me. I think the perky little Nazi
torturer/instructor sent my intestines out to be laundered or
something......I don't know.....all day I've been afraid to look down there.

Worse? Yet, somehow, I managed to lure you not only into this thread, but
another as well........and without posting a single word.
