Post #108,490 by Ashton 7/6/03 6:34:25 AM Reply	Yawn. Shades of Newt's little electioneering booklet on "how to confound the democratic process via cut-phrases of bafflegab". Works disgustingly well in an ignorant disinterested electorate, though not on adults. Sophomoric vehemence and xenophobia - those persuaded by that are already yours and Rev Foulwell's lawful prey. 0 for 0. Moral certainty is always a sign of cultural inferiority. The more uncivilized the man, the surer he is that he knows precisely what is right and what is wrong. All human progress, even in morals, has been the work of men who have doubted the current moral values, not of men who have whooped them up and tried to enforce them. The truly civilized man is always skeptical and tolerant, in this field as in all others. His culture is based on "I am not too sure." --H.L. Mencken via Rand

Thanks for giving us another small sample. ---------------------------------------------------------------- DEAL WITH IT. Never mind all the mass graves. Where's the nerve gas? I helped depose Saddam. Did you? When the facts speak for themselves, only a fool insists on having a debate. The future is leaving the station, the US is at the throttle, and the Left isn't on board. [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/marlowe/index.html\|http://www.angelfire...arlowe/index.html]

Among the regular participants here Ashton is, so far as I can tell, almost universally esteemed, and while "bafflegab" might seem an apt term to a mind too blunt to absorb A's more delphic pronouncements, "xenophobia" in this context is just silly--of a piece with most of your ill-informed bombast, really. Die Welt ist alles, was der Fall ist.
