    There are real people behind the avatars. You don't have to treat this forum like a bathroom stall.

    A bit of familiarity. Addressing the man personally instead of just assuming I know what he means all the time.

    Discussion is a clarifier. Reading with attention helps too. You can also use the search function to learn more about other posters.

    (I doubt such an effort will sustain your hasty conclusions about MB.)
    I see you share an inflated sense of importance and condescension with your hero. Good luck with that.

    It's obvious you'd rather put other posters down for merely differing from you, than have a real discussion with them to discover what those differences really are.

    Your choice.

    That's rich coming from you, Mr Ad Hominen. Ditto for your little friend.

    I talk to every single jackass in this forum. Been doing it for years. Occasionally, a conversation happens.

    It'd be nice if it happened a little more often. Are you helping?

    If I prefer some posters to others that indicates neither hero worship nor amorous intent as occasionally alleged.

    Apparently not, according to you, I've got a tin ear because I don't endorse know-it-all reactionaries. Now how's that a big improvement in the conversation dept, hmm?

    No. I don't think you knew what MB meant. You might have asked him instead of just assuming. If you were really interested in knowing the content of what you glibly denounce, but I suppose that would defeat the intention behind your glib putdowns.

    Dubious, but it's a start.

    Obviously the real conspiracy is a neo-liberal reactionary one, designed to bring back every leftist bogeyman of the past three centuries.

    Do you have any ideas of your own, or do you only get off on telling others how to respond to your hero?
    I read the "content," and the verdict is that it's pretentious, preposterous "blame the victim" crapola.

    Dubious, but it's a start.
    No, you don't understand. How is your calling me a tin ear such a great contribution to civility and conversation, O Spirit of gravity?

    The VRWC is organized, focused, relentless, multi-decade logistics to pile up ungodly wealth and power, to turn the USA into the UCA, to return to the unregulated 1920s where Robber Barons and banks could execute their predataions and exploitation of people and environment without interference.

    The intentions, victims, benefits, and (successful) effects are clear.

    You have not proved that anyone had a plan or intention to destroy family life.

    The loss of family life is a unintentional result of moving from an tribal, agricultural society to an urban, industrial, services, information economy, aided by cheap transportation, mass media, mass communications.

    Why must there be a specific plan or plot, with a given group behind it? Easier to understand, I guess.

    Kicking each other around like ideological ragdolls is the bread and butter of this forum. Real discussion, infrequent as it is, is the jam and jelly.

    The destruction of the family was orchestrated to liberate the individual.
    Why be consistent? Easier to contradict your own nonsensical viewpoint, I guess.

    Naturally one in a conspiratorial frame of mind would have read that as such.

    Thanks, but what I said was so shallow it isn't even shallow. It was strictly superficial.

    (This forum isn't very hard to figure out.)

    I suggested you should take it up with Marcus, is all. Feel free not to.

    Well, , United We Stand, Divided We Fall.

    The VRWC is united in their objectives, they contribute many $100Ms to financing it, to buying legislators and regulators at all levels, etc, etc. It goes back to the VN and Nixon debacles.

    A key objective of the VRWC is to divide and ELIMINATE the opposition, anybody who's not "with them", which is the lower 95%. Divided, the opposition falls. That's the real goal of busting unions, to divide unions into powerless organizations, or even better, have only isolated, weak employees with no power, and to eliminate a source of financing for Dems, just as slandering/scamming ACORN out of existence was to kill a source votes for Dems.

    The VRWC is a simple concept, maybe not complicated and academic enough you, and it explains succinctly and accurately what has happened to UCA and what will continue to happen unstoppably.

    When a theory matches all the facts, it becomes a useful theory.

    Maier's Law: If the facts do not conform to the theory, they must be disposed of.
    Corollaries:
    1. The bigger the theory, the better.
    2. The experiment may be considered a success if no more than 50 percent of the observed measurements must be discarded to obtain a correspondence with the theory.

    First Law of Scientific Progress: The advance of science can be measured by the rate at which exceptions to previously held laws ac ulate.
    Corollaries:
    1. Exceptions always outnumber rules.
    2. There are always exceptions to the established exceptions.
    3. By the time one masters the exceptions, no one recalls the rules to which they apply.

    Finagle's Creed: Science is Truth. Don't be misled by facts.

    Finagle's Laws:
    1. If an experiment works, something has gone wrong.
    2.1 No matter what result is anticipated, there is always someone willing to fake it.
    2.2 No matter what the result, there is always someone eager to misinterpret it.
    2.3 No matter what happens, there is always someone who believes it happened according to his pet theory.
    3.0 In any collection of data, the figure most obviously correct, beyond all need of checking, is the mistake.
    3.1 No one whom you ask for help will see it.
    3.2 Everyone who stops by with unsought advice will see it immediately.
    4. Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it only makes it worse.
    Wingo's Axiom: All Finagle's Laws may be bypassed by learning the simple art of doing without thinking.
    Finagle's Rules:
    1. To study an application best, understand it thoroughly before you start.
    2. Always keep a record of data. It indicates you've been working.
    3. Always draw your curves, then plot the reading.
    4. In case of doubt, make it sound convincing.
    5. Program results should always be reproducible. They should all fail in the same way.
    6. Do not believe in miracles. Rely on them.
