If it is something that you say with such conviction and assertion… is that because you really understand that way of being? All caught up in it, oh the tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive. If a person says something to you, and you misunderstand them, take it the wrong way, then it takes some effort to undo that. Part of you still asserts the misconception, to much nonsense being thrown around. Are we collectively misguided in some respect to our sense of social justice? I got some good ideas lately out of all this, love to have a televisions show about linguistics having callers comment on issues and then go back and forth on matters linguistically, revisiting until a higher degrees of consensus is formed. That would be the real Wide Open, that being the subject never closed and the so called experts can be pulled out on the rug. I heard a talks show the other day, it made reference to the amount that people lie. That being in their daily lives, it claimed that people lie on average twice a day. I thought I don’t, I avoid untruths. I dislike lies they serve no purpose for me, it’s all about me and my soul, a lie puts to much emphasis on what others are thinking. It’s more about perception and less about judging. If I perceive and you fully agree or fully disagree then you are judging my perception, and that is valid but it is also very offensive. I abstain, I am the conscientious objector. What do would you call it when you, say that a person will do anything to win?

Alo – why do conservatives play-act these concrete brain people? I’ll get you started:

Advocacy leads to advocating leads to support.

Oh yeah – that word Sarah Palin substituted for Madeleine Albright’s original word, which was “help” when Palin wanted to tell female voters they’d go to hell if they didn’t vote for other women.

If ACORN isn’t an advocacy group, how do you explain this?
