Being a lIBERTARIAN, the opposite of an authoritarian, I tend not to feel contempt for those that disagree with me. I don't rank others as inferior or superior to me. I just try to convince people that I am correct until they prove they aren't willing to accept that. Since I'm not looking to "overpower" anyone or shut anybody up, I'm actually pretty open to being proven wrong. That's the thing that I'm looking for when I post, as a matter of fact.

I defer "my way" to the correct way, and by that I mean the one method that serves us all the best. I believe in freedom to the greatest extent for everybody willing to lead positive and productive lives as well as those that haven't yet realized that those are the best lives to lead.

Somehow that might transfer over to my ideas about the sad-sacks that post here and the god-awful methods by which they tend to do so, but I'm sleepy and uninspired right now.

Nice thread, though...

mburbank~ Yes, okay, fine, I do know what you meant, but why is it not possible for you to get through a paragraph without making all the words cry?

How can someone who obviously thinks so much of their ideas have so little respect for expressing them? How can someone who so yearns to be taken seriously make so little effort?!
