On the evidence, you are smart enough to know that the question you posed was utterly disingenuous. So why did you do it? For the sheer sake of shit-disturbing? That might be fun now and again, but you do it so frequently that over time it becomes difficult to believe that you don't degrade the signal-to-noise ratio out of sheer hatred for intelligent discourse.

Post #385,097 by Ashton 1/9/14 2:25:05 AM Reply	There is some precedent, possibly. When Gurdjieff, his cohort Ouspensky + students of their experiments in (say) increasing levels of consciousness, settled for a time in a manse in the outskirts of Paris: there was amongst the lot one person who seemed to irritate everyone. Whenever faced by one of the others over some action, accused of doing X, his response was, invariably: "but then I never do X!" IIRC one specific was an accusation that he interminably argued (and, he argued: the same.) One scribe reported in later years that: Gurdjieff, consistent with his ideas on how to train people to become hyper-observant of their own foibles/mechanicalness (when no One was 'paying attention--from inside') had revealed to her that he had hired this man. (Perfectly reasonable, given the aims of the group and the unique lore of its teacher.) But then, am unaware that we had elected a teacher or that full-consciousness was expected--or particularly to be striven for, officially. Neither had I heard that intentionally-reduced consciousness would be welcomed as.. some virtue. (But I could very well have missed that thread--while not paying Attention.)
Post #385,098 by boxley 1/9/14 9:35:59 AM Reply	so playing politics with public facilities is what tubbies aids are doing how is that different from playing politics during the government shutdown? Oh, nother, when I was visiting the AFB in Clovis NM over the holidays, the folks told me that their golf course, completely on base was closed for the duration. Apparently the commander in chief didn't have a hankering to play on that course. So yes, it was for show. In case you have never visited the DC area Rand, barricading the Lincoln memorial would be like taking the expense to barricade Golden Gate Park and refusing to let people step on the grass. Completely political.

Post #385,094 by a6l6e6x 1/8/14 10:47:47 PM Reply	Yep. The smoking gun seen. The mystery of who closed two lanes onto the George Washington Bridge Â turning the borough of Fort Lee, N.J., into a parking lot for four days in September Â exploded into a full-bore political scandal for Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday. Emails and texts revealed that a top aide had ordered the closings to punish the townÂs mayor after he did not endorse the governor for re-election. ÂTime for some traffic problems in Fort Lee,Â Bridget Anne Kelly, a deputy chief of staff to Mr. Christie, emailed David Wildstein, a high school friend of the governor who worked at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the bridge.

Post #385,110 by Ashton 1/9/14 2:49:54 PM Reply	Since this excuse is patently laughable, why is it that so many are crying? Because his supporters cannot see his frequent lies? Because they see his lies--but it's OK because he's Our Liar? Because so many are so frequently unable to detect lying (nor faux-facts)--are thus unarmed when Rush, Fox et al are preaching (and are thus proven incapable of committing-Reason, at all?) All of the above? (or have I missed a significant/better rationale for the National MInd-quicksand?) BECAUSE, SomeHow.. there needs soon to exist: a brilliant analysis of the Stupid-virus before it snuffs so many collective-grey-cells that the organism dies from breathing Nitrous Oxide instead of Oxygen.

Post #385,134 by dmcarls 1/9/14 10:49:21 PM Reply	..... because he's Our Liar? Sometimes you just get accustomed to stuff... In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said: "Is it good, friend?" "It is bitter - bitter," he answered; "But I like it Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart." Stephen Crane, In The Desert, 1895

(via another Crane) We make our meek adjustments, Contented with such random consolations As the wind deposits In slithered and too ample pockets.

Post #385,156 by Another Scott 1/10/14 12:36:11 PM Reply	Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. (I tried to watch the clip this morning, but didn't have the time.) This probably explains why so much of the e-mails have been redacted - they don't want evidence pointing to those institutions. Easier to leave in mentions of the Major and Ft. Lee and let people draw their own conclusions. Cheers, Scott.
