If you understand me AT ALL you would already know i consider these words as a dangerous COP OUT << There could be worse, Max>> i have argued with strength, and with some , what is obvious to me mathmatical logic, that Lesser of two Evils as a point of making a choice is AS DANGEROUS A CONVENTIONAL WISDOM amongst the human race. You are are one those people, and i DISDAIN that "Logic"---it is not logic, it manifest wimpitude of mind to believe such SH-T. i now quote what i just put in my last post to CG. The words of Tony Judt. "But in the years since then I have come to understand that Eichmann in Jerusalem represents Hannah Arendt at her best: attacking head-on a painful topic; dissenting from official wisdom; provoking argument not just among her critics but also and especially among her friends; and above all, disturbing the easy peace of received opinion. It is in memory of Arendt the "disturber of the peace" that I want to offer a few thoughts on a subject which, more than any other, preoccupied her political writings." i will NOT ever allow myself, because i like person, EVER lessen my words Such as it "it manifest wimpitude of mind to believe such SH-T." i will NOT lower myself again to give the mathmatic logic to why i am, as the last time i did i realized had had written that incredibly was not grasped by certain others as i was MOCKED. It was the mocking of me by people that WANT to remain STUPID. A dedicated LAZINESS of mind. It should be OBVIOUS the choosing of the lesser of two evils leads directly, just more slowly to The Greater Evil. i myself, of myself, actually can NOT comprehend minds that don't get this, but it is obvious the VAST VAST majority can't grasp this--so welcome friend, you have plenty of company in your "it could be worse', you are ONE WITH THE VAST MAJORITY. Now go back to the President Obama thread, and be a weenie wimp wimp "Love me i am a Liberal" and leave this RAD alone. Max

Rick i should state that i got an e-mail that supports your view. i will not identify this poster. i end up saying i am placing you and this person on ignore, and say why. Ignore does not mean BANNED. <<You obviously agree wirh Rick. i have thought about this DEEPLY, years, i need not reconsider. i will go to my grave refusing to agree with the choosing the lesser of two evils argument as rational.i call it Sophie's Choice. Sophie was always comprising , did not have fixed values, in the end she got the choice of choosing which of her children dies. One MUST NOT vote if both candidates are counter to one's deepest values. By voting the lesser of two evils is to support the continuual degeneration of the human race. i retract NOTHING If this country had a committed group to refuse to vate when there is no real choice could lead to a revolution. But Bing/Farrell in that Terminator/Twitter post presents the reality, such that this revolution to greater values will NEVER happen. "10. You'll forget ... you can fight back, but the will is gone Bing ends gently: "We just forgot all this stuff. Stuff? What stuff?" ... fade to black." Your post was a superflously polite way of saying i am "full of shit" Believe me i don't need coffee and to reconsider my post to Rick So, O.K., we have an understanding. You like living by LOWER STANDARDS than i.That's your choice. Like Rick, you will learn in time, what your support of "This Democracy" and thus your support of this plutocracy will end. We are heading for a bad end. i must demonstrate the depth of my conviction by placing both and Rick on ignore. Peace, Max p.s. the putting on Ignore is the ONLY way i can get the message out, i have deep conviction that the good hearted OPTIMIST can't can't handle, as they still have The Faith in Political Man. Why communicate??? There is no reason, there is an ABYSS between us, why waste words in debate????? i will later dig up a brilliant article from Harper's describing how utterly fallacious the idea we have democracy in the U.S. and depicts this country is but a process of a diseased political system.>> John Foster Wallace view that in the end the POTUS becomes a Madison Avenue product is at hand.>>
