I believe you bought into the superficial intellect badge of a PHD. At least you can spell it, that's more than some MBAs can do.

You are quite informed but have molded some of the facts to fit your own leanings.

Join us for discourse. Don't pontificate; it's offensive to the intellects and professionals here.

That is possible I admit that I have serious doubts and the last thing I'd do is pontificate (but I may have done it inadvertently). If I didn't have this type of a dilemma I would be more concerned about my own thinking process. It's much easier to quote the previous person "politics is war without bullets - start firing" - but I'm afraid that is a little too dogmatic and doesn't allow my opponents to right to disagree with me as much as I disagree with them. What if the shoe is on the other foot?

Do you know Illya Shambat?

Sweet guy, a bit sad, writes really dramatic russian poetry on the newsgroups.

Although this seems directed towards me personally, for arguments' sake I'll go along with you (maybe I shouldn't, but I will).

Naturally that I mold my thought along my own leanings - what's so wrong about that? If you have any other ideas, criticisms, corrections - shoot, spell them out. Do make it into a discourse instead of a veiled attack of my PhD, (envious, or what?) If my premise dosn't hold - go ahead shoot holes into it. But do it directly and openly - I didn't fear to expose my weaker side and my fears - that I wish I never had - but why should I be kidding anybody, least of all - myself.
