I also volunteer to help special-needs persons - this, without compensation, reward, or to assauge any speculated, deep-seated feelings of guilt. I have and do assist persons that most other people would avoid by walking on the other side of the street. (Do you do the same?) I'll return to a question I have asked of you before, which you failed to answer in any reasonable manner. Who are you to judge another? (And I'll wager that I'm compensated annually less than you are. I'll also wager that my income stream is less than yours.) Good for you!!! Weren't we talking about love and party affiliation? Are you a compassionate conservative and did you support GW Bush's pre-emptive war of choice? What percentage of the folks who "avoid" your friends do you suppose are Republicans? I'd expect it to be larger by at least the weight of a six pack or two. How much "love" do you have, jps? Do you volunteer your time for the unfortunate, the dispossessed, the disaffected, the pariah of our society? Or do you defer to "government" to do your lovin' for ya? Let's see the love, dude! Changing the subject. I'd be pleased to discuss my efforts towards the benefits of mankind but you haven't favored me with any real answers yet. So why should I invest in your inquiry when you haven't invested in mine? This is how it normally goes with you. I think a review of who first toke the path less relevant would yeild a contrary result. What is apparent to the sensible reader is that your declarations are far removed from reality, are not representative of the truth, and that by design. You are a propagandist and you are a minor one at that. You're traipsing around with your basket of radical blubs in remote newsgroups, far from the big-lights that the more notorious radicals, such as Michael Moore, enjoy. I'm sure your family understands you. "toke the path"? I was bleary-eyed last night. I would recommend that you avoid reading C.S. Lewis' "The Abolition of Man" if you have problems comprehending what I write. Then again, I suspect that if you or HK were able to comprehend "The Abolition of Man," any acerbic and witty rebuttal that either of you issued against it would fall as short as all of your other lackluster "blurbs." I don't recall reading this CS Lewis book, but I really enjoyed the space trilogy, and I most enjoyed (and remember) Out of the Silent Planet (apologies to Harry... it's just a coincidence). EM It's more of a philosophical work, em. I haven't read much of C.S. Lewis fiction (one Narnia novel and "The Screwtape Letters," an epistolary). I've read more of his religious and philosophical works, the most difficult to negotiate being "The Abolition of Man," and the most poignant being, imo, "The Problem of Pain." The man was an estimable apologist. And I may be being a bit brutal in this opinion; but, I doubt that either JPS or H the K possess the prowess or acumen to fully absorb it, considering their respectively unremarkable intellectual demonstrations in this NG. That's why the most you'll see from either in a criticism of his work is a "pithy" blurb. -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDemon.com------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access |
