New Attack through imagination
FAIL on Beep's part. Feel free to try again with some posts on my part that have an actual "defense" of his act.




"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from."

New Nice try
But you rationalized his act as " not so bad" by comparison. That is defense, even if a poor one.
Sure, understanding today's complex world of the future is a little like having bees live in your head. But...there they are.

Sending dick pix to women he's never met vs. visiting hookers in Nawlins & DC while married and running as a "family values" politician.

Yeah, anyone with a brain would say that Congressman Weiner's situation was "not so bad" by comparison.
