Does this mean that you've finally accepted the fact that you opinions are of no consequence?

That your intelligence is lower than whale shit? That you are truly dumber that "a day old pig"?

If so, may I offer my congratulations.

You have just effectively removed yourself for the position of a false authority, and employed the Socratic Method...in particular:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_that_I_know_nothing

IMHO, not only is it an effective technique, but also an honest one.

But don't put much stock into my evaluations...I'm just a stoopid "stick in the mud".

Perhaps I'm not as ignorant as you suspected?

Kind of the same thing...in a way. Completely different in another.

lol

you are so morose

maybe you see me the same way

however I am enjoying my new Powermac Mac Pro 2.8 dual quad core intel unit I found yesterday at the SA for $50......hard to be in a bad mood after that. It has an audio optical in and out

By the way Charles since you value the importance of the dollar and are agains wasteful spending do you feel betrayed by the Tea Party as most of us do?

I don't think betrayed is how I feel.

It's more like finding out that your expensive new coon dog won't tree anything but possums.

That would be a shame, but it would still be better than a rabid pit bull (the Tea Party).

This may be a question no sensible person would think to ask, but why is it good to tree coons, but bad to tree possums?

Nobody wants to hunt possums.
