Reading the About...

Alan Berkelhammer is very active on http://gainesvilleteaparty.org/ and has quite a lot of stuff on Google... FWIW. Cheers, Scott.

Just because her sign doesnt really say that doesnt mean itÂs not true. I noticed it was photoshopped too and I commented on that on another post. However, it does not take away from the point of the picture. This picture basically represents what these people are up in arms about. They took ridiculous majors in school and now can not find a job in their field. Whether or not this picture is real is totally irrelevant. And from another commenter: Henry, lighten up. The man has a point and the photoshopped poster makes a satirical point. These people canÂt even articulate what theyÂre protesting about Â itÂs just anti-capitalism, as if what we have is real capitalism, which it ainÂt even close. What we have is corporatism, which is akin to fascism with a smiley face. Because of course the protesters couldn't possibly be as enlightened as Jesse Brown here. Jesse knows that what we have isn't properly called "capitalism", but those DFH protesters, they think it is caplitalism and they don't like it so they're against "capitalism", which makes them wrong, even though they're against what we actually have, which means if what we have isn't capitalism, then "capitalism" isn't what they're actually against, but rather they're against the corporatism we actually have, but because they too stupid to understand that then they must be against some abstract semantic construct instead of the reality of our current system, because they're stupid. -- Drew

This is yet another example of them "knowing" what the "truth" is, even though they can't find actual evidence to present with their argument. Making up an image, or making up a quote, or making up numbers, isn't being deceptive or *lying* it's telling the greater "truth" that they "know" in their hearts. Evidence doesn't matter to these people. That's why trying to have a logical argument with them is so pointless in so many cases. They're too often sociopaths - http://www.mcafee.cc/Bin/sb.html :-( FWIW. Cheers, Scott.

Just because my photoshopped image of Rick Perry devouring an unbaptized infant is a composite doesn't mean that Governor Perry does not in fact feast upon the newly-born now and again? Whether or not this picture is real is totally irrelevant. And we are obliged to share a Republic with these delusional fuckwits? cordially,
