You are a quick one. Yes, Clinton is a fabulist-in-the-making,
an altogether fatuous man who reads statements off of tele-prompters,
sends his best friends to serve time and enjoys gratis in
the back seat of limousines with little girls and prostitutes. He is
A Politician.
Perhaps in your morphine delirium of a 'better society,' you have
forgotten that the universe does not conform to what
you-think-the-universe-should-be.
This brand of normative ethics is a tired field that has already had
its day from early Wittgensteinian fools and other self-aggrandising
scheisters who must resort to an argument ad testimonial to sound
somewhat plausible.
You are an indignant little boy who has just discovered that the world
is not flat.
: BRAVO!!
: You have *mastered* Newspeak!!! Please send me the
: 18th edition dictionary when you get a chance!
: In true party fasion, you have successfuly
: eluded any factual intelligent dialogue. Comrade,
: you shall be issued an extra ration of victory
: gin for your fine service!
: Because it gives me great pleasure to point out
: party fallabilities, I will humor a retort, and
: give you a chance to stoop to my level so you can
: enlighten us unfortunates.
: : It seems I have put strong wine into the mouth of a babe, and
: : he does not like its bitter taste.
: I much prefer milk, thank you.
: : Excuse me, I was under the impression that you have read '1984' and
: : was familiar with its principle mechanics.
: I have read 1984, and am probably more qualified to
: understand it's meaning more than anyone. I'm not
: certain if a book can possess mechanics, or what
: mechanics have to do with reading a book.
:
: Your typical splenetic duh-duh
: : response could only come from a truly 'Americanised' mind and reveals
: : that you are a loyal prole engaged in The Government-supported activity of
: : 'Hate Week.'
: Now this is a flavourful insult! What, pray tell, is
: a duh-duh response? Is that similar to a doo-doo,
: or a doy-doy, or a ding-ding response? It might be
: helpful if you tell me exactly what language you are
: speaking so that I might be able to know what the
: hell you're talking about. My guess is duh-duh is
: a brand new newspeak word. You must ship the new
: edition soon before I make a major faux paugh in
: front of a party member!
: Now the accusation that my mind is Americanized...
: that truly, truly hurts. But, I understand that this
: is a popular newspeak tactic. (When accused of
: murder, call the accuser a murderer) Just like
: Clinton, at a posh fundraiser this weekend; when
: asked about the swamp of controversy he's s(t)inking
: in replied by saying the people investigating him
: have been lying, subordening purgery, leaking to the
: press, etc. I understand why you are still at the
: University, because when you graduate, you will
: have learned that this is an effective tactic when
: dealing with large numbers of proles, but becomes
: less efficient when dealing one on one conversations.
: That being said, I will give you an opportunity to
: show and tell me how my thoughts and words reek of
: amerikkkanization, and that I'm a mindless prole
: engaging in hate week. My guess is that you will
: dole out more newspeak insult attempts, or ignore
: me altogether, but I like giving people chances. It
: makes things fun, you see.
: : As for your questions, I am merely stultified by the rare brillance of locution
: : that you seem to possess in abundance.
: Why, if that is a complement, I accept! Thanks.
: But I am not playing fair. One cannot explain
: : a world of six-dimensional colour to a dog that sees in two-dimensional black-and-white.
: : It appears that you are of the latter and not the former, as your perception is limited
: : to a 'cause/effect' argument reduced on a linear scale.
: Wait!! Wait a minute. My questions stultify you, but
: I'm a linear thinking doG?? What, then, would that
: make you??? Comrade, you have effectively insulted
: yourself!!
: What part of my argument dealves in
: cause/effect relationships? By this, do you mean
: beCAUSE the CIA spies on everyone, is the world
: largest drug dealer, and inates poets, prophets,
: peace activists and all threats to the agency (including
: people who work for them) the EFFECT will be
: mive destruction on a global scale? Is that what
: you mean? Hmmm... maybe you're right. Please advise
: me on how to expand my mind in a more cirnavigational
: manner, such as yours. I need help, obviously, please
: enlighten me.
: : But the most interesting thing you ask is 'Who are the poets?' Perhaps you should begin with
: : 'What is a poet?' then move onto the more brain-stimulating questions.
: Doubleplusgood Doublespeak duckspeak at true
: perfection comrade!!
: You are the one who stated the poets will save us. I
: was "attempting" to get an explanation regardin these
: mystery poets who will jump out of the blue and save
: us from BB's eminant cataclysm. Apparently, this
: was a hollow statement, or I'm talking to a CIA
: agent, rather than the one who actually posted this
: statement originally...
: : (Hint: the answer is not in the dictionary)
: :
: Ah, true. most of the difficult answers are not. Nor
: are they in the CIA 'How to , Murder, and
: Supress Democracy' manual.
: G'day,
: Comrade
