Reed, Reed, Reed, you foolish foolish Harvard man. you have really nailed
yourself to a tree on this one.

I don't ever think I'll take anything you say with any amount of respect
ever again.

you clearly submit your desire to
"...cut the quotes, you've read them already"

but not 6 lines later here you go denying your our "ideals" (for lack of a
better term) and you dare to put into your little (OH! not SO...) "Random
Quote"...

"A foolish consistency is the Hobgoblin of little minds."

I challenge your response.....
----------------------------------

Ouch, it stings!
But it discovering the truth you have still allowed yourself
to be manipulated.

First Law of Memetics:
Repeat only those things you wish to hear.

See? Once again Emerson gets propogated:

"A foolish consistency is the Hobgoblin of little minds."

And why don't you respect me? Trust me? I wouldn't...
I'm trying to manipulate you to my advantage. But
respect me...

A constant tension, aye? How much should you listen,
and to whom?

What a great response, Jim. It really made me think!

Reed
