I can't take time to pour over the meaningless utterance you gave us above. It makes *no sense* as written. I see this kind of thing all the time in student papers, however. I'm afraid I'd have to take a few points off under "mechanics" in my grading rubric. I would be kind and just write "vague" in the margins, though. :) > >>> How about the tear-stained people going on about how Obama would >>> solve their gas bill problem?

I never said anything about Obama, crying supporters and gas (petrol? or heating?) bills. I'm quite sure of that. > >>> >>> So you might be an educated idiot but I didn't call you one, did I? >> >> You did when you said I (and others) was (were) brainwashed. > > Not the same.

I have a Ph.D from the University of Chicago. I'm a college professor. I teach people how to think for a living. But, sure, I'm brainwashed because some moron who lives in the "oppressive" (!), liberty-depriving (!) United Kingdom says so. > >>> >>> Your assumption that I would act like a Democrat following the >>> 2000 or 2004 elections is probably not more than a theoristic >>> mistake. >> >> "theoristic"? > > Academics rely on theories to describe the universe, more so when > they never leave their offices. You're a simpleton if you believe academics naively "describe the universe" (umm...it's more complicated than that, but subtlety and complexity are usually lost on right wingers from my experience). Second, we leave our offices all the time. You, on the other hand, might try picking up a book. But, all of that aside, "theoristic" isn't a word, Mr. Webster. Maybe you meant "theoretical" (for those of us who have some command of the English language)? > >>> "Change"? What change precisely can you refer to? >> >> The move away from Bush/Cheney's imperialism, for starters. >> Changes in economic policy, health care reform...etc. etc. for >> another. > > Imperialism? In which handbook did you get such a term? You use > words with a cavalier disregard for their meaning. I suggest *you* go look it up and study its history. For starters, read Edward Said's "Orientalism". I don't have time to dust off my bibliographies and give you citations out the wazoo...but that's a good place to start. > >>> >>> Oh, it's so AWFUL in the US huh?

There's a lot of blame to go around. Republicans have to take the lion's share. They've led us down this path. > >> By the way, who gives a fat frog's ass about Scientology? I sure >> don't.

Thanks! > > You don't seem to be able to leave the keyboard, O Celebrating One. Nor you. And thanks for the honorific title. I do prefer Dr. Celebrating One, however. I'm with Bill (Walker) on this one. This is a joyous, incredibly important moment in American history. I'm thrilled to have witnessed it. It's a monumental, watershed moment for African Americans as well, and I'm overjoyed when I see black college students in tears dancing in the street. And if you don't like it...if you don't sense the importance of this moment...well, you've got a very dark soul, and I'd say you're probably a miserable person. That's about the end of it for me. Jeff
