It is hard to tell if Harry really couldn't understand the difference or he
was choosing not to. At one time, I always thought Harry would pick and
chose what he "chose to believe". Now it seems that Harry is losing it
quickly, and is having trouble telling the difference. That might be the
result of dementia or it might be a result of depression, aggravated by his
NPD. Harry's outburst at the Best Buy is very typical of those suffering
from severe depression.

Kevin really can not tell the difference and will posts 3 or 4 links showing
you that he is wrong.

Harry, Harry, Harry. This really is a terrific story. Surely you
understand that when any of the top five are killed others then move
up to
take their place. There will always be a top five until there are
no more
leaders left to fill the ranks.

You understand that....eh?
Oh, what a spin!! So, I take it, then, that when you play chess, and
someone takes your Queen, a Rook or a Knight becomes the Queen??
Another who knows nothing of succession of command.

In a game of chess, there are two opposing players. If one gets
killed, the other wins. Amen.


Sorry, but Vietnam proved the "war of attrition" techniques don't work.
You were there, right? We lost.

Harry, only someone with your extreme intelligence could relate my
statement about chess to Vietnam
attrition techniques.


In chess, there are two opposing teams of many players under the command
of a king, as it were.

The game isn't over when a player is killed. Further, it is possible to
replace "killed" players within the game.

Not much of a chess player, eh?

The North Vietnamese had a virtually endless supply of players ready to
take over from those who were killed. Which is why we could never win a
war of attrition there.

And which is why we are losing Iraq.

If you and I were playing chess, and you shot me with one of your new
shotguns, you would be the
winner, not me.

Is the difference between a chess piece and a chess player hard to
understand? I could imagine Kevin
having that problem, but you?
