Heh. You have to be kidding.

Not at all. I've always been a big fan of Ali. It's good to see him
still smiling, despite all that has befallen him.

A draft dodger just like you.



A braver man than you were or ever will be, and also a man of
accomplishment, which you never will be.

Yes, truly sad *now that he's reduced to a mental midget.
I wonder who told him to smile and look at the camera?
I can't believe *you* posted that, Tim. It smells like a herring post.

not necessarily. The guy has severe brain damage which is well known,
and from what I gather has to be led by the hand and literally told
what to do. I may be wrong about that, but that's my understanding.

Now, here's the real kicker. Reagan's last days in office, it was
discovered or at least speculated that he was in early stages of
Alzheimer's disease, in which the press started to eat him alive and
some showed him no mercy.

Reagan suffered from a mental illness which is associated with age,
and over such he had no control *Ali's brain turned to mush after
having his head continually beat in all for chasing a prize and
bragging that he "is the greatest"

Yes, Howard said he was the "Greatest boxer of all time"

Ali's reputation proceeds him, but he's not so great now, is he?

Yeah, Tim, he is. Ali is still the greatest. I closely followed the
heavyweight division since the days of Floyd Patterson until the 1990s,
and there was never ever anyone as good as Ali at his best.

If you were around when the Babe was dying, would you have said, "Well,
he's not so great now, is he?"

BTW, I thought Reagan had Alzheimer's by the beginning of his second term..

As a boxer? yes. But look at what it has cost him. do you think that
loosing his mental faculties i was worth it to him? maybe to Ali it
was , but I really doubt it.

If you were around when the Babe was dying, would you have said, "Well,
he's not so great now, is he?"

you're right, Harry. Babe was a time honored record holder but his
lifestyle was no example for the kids that worshiped him.

BTW, I thought Reagan had Alzheimer's by the beginning of his second term..

yep, that's what a lot in the media thought too.

but unlike Ali, Regan's mental disease wasn't self infllicted for
seeking fame and fortune and glory.

Especially in Ruth's case, I suppose what I'm saying Harry, is that
some people can be a hero and a loser at the same time.

In 1964, Cassius Clay took the Armed Forces Qualification Test. In 1964,
Cassius Clay announced his membership in the Black Muslims. He became a
follower of Malcom X. He then, when inducted, used his religion as a basis
for his pacifism.

Sounds fishy to me.

I disagree, but that's just my opinion. I believe he became a Black Muslim
and Malcolm X follower so he could use his religion to dodge the draft.

Follow the bouncing ball.

WWII ended with a couple of big booms. Too big to ever get out of control.

Korea ended with enough bodies sold.

Vietnam ended with more than enough bodies sold.

Gulf War ended with enough bodies sold.

Kosavo's bodies sold to United Nations.

Iraq and Afganistan will end when enough bodies are sold.

Some are not for sale.

You were sold! You was a lucky one. You were in all the wrong places at
the right time.

Sounds fishy to me.
