  1. Ed Snider is an Objectivist remember! He does not have to answer to freakin anybody. Good thing because this action is totally incomprehensible to the entire hockey world including me. If you have been following the TO sportsmedia they all think it sucks.Maybe it is a complex contract thing. But no way does the coach deserve this, I call it unsportsmanlike conduct in spades.
  2. Not anymore, I quit! You promised anonymity! - Stella fully qualified Human Resources Professional
  3. tee-hee-hee thanks Adam! I never read this before. Obviously Twain had daughters.
  4. Right, I forgot! Once again I see the inestimable value of a leader who is expert in Ideological Semantics such as you It strikes me that when looking for Romantic Realist heroes and heroines, Puccini is not exactly the go-to destination. Horny exploiters of teenagers (isn't Linz adamant against that sort of thing?), communicable- disease-spreading parasitic prostitutes, layabout self-described artists mooching off the productive... and that is only the operas I've seen! Good thing you warned me about Turandot, I will boycott it vigorously.
  5. Weeelll.. of course torture and murder in general are bad things . But as fellow Committee Members on the NO NRQQ Assessment Board, we must see them as sometimes justified. Not both together though!
  6. I did get some complaints about reading "girl's stories" . Haha, said I, Mark Twain did not think so. If Anne was good enough for him she is good enough for you.
  7. Children are so emotionally generous. I know so many great people with pretty bad parents, really bad human beings, and their children truly love them. The big bonus for parents is, absent real neglect or abuse, your kids are going to love you. And even like you!
  8. The Reps story is, a less=privatized health care system is the gravest threat faced domestically by the US, and any legal measures are justifiable to prevent it. This is a hard sell to the undecided or uninformed sector of voters, but not an impossible one.
  9. Geez Dougie, don't you ever check the schedule, it is the Oilers and we will be protesting on Friday. This is Canada you cant break the law Protesting, but you can make the cops mad so we will have to be extra Polite. Great job on the float! Sent JS a pic. G.
  10. Gord, I just saw that the American truckers are going to break the law down there on the Protest! How is wanting cheap gas unlawful, no wonder they are all so mad. Do we have to break the law too? I think the Wings are in town that weekend and my cousins have got tickets, I cant miss my shift! Doug
  11. I better not say. They could still decide to sue me. All those Anne of Green Gables bedtime reads when they were too young to fight back, may have scarred them forver.
  12. Not needing or wanting those things is good, I guess. You did not say no beer!
  13. Somehow I already felt you were a cheapskate, Moralist, and all props to you for making a lot of money and saving most of it so you can impress us with your new wheels. Carol proud bus rider
  14. In Dear Leader's latest he knuckles under to Moeller and reluctantly acknowledges that bloody revolution is just not practicable. Also he confirms Jonathan's observation that his Rational Rage is basically not political, but cultural. Like every Angry Elder in recorded history, he is horrified that the society into which he was born looks and sounds so different now; that youth are mostly illiterate and degenerate; that the societal markers of superiority which he mastered are no longer admired. That there is too much leadership these days and not enough followership. That he Don't Get No Respect.
  15. You know, whatever they hear in school I think it is really hard to control the minds of children. I found it impossible.
  16. Well, we don't know that Dagny wasn't pregnant by the end of AS. As for Dominique, obviously she would not get pregnant because that was a Legitimate Rape, by God. -ex Legislator Missouri
  17. That's true, of course. I was just conjecturing that in the Anglo-Saxon |Christians, RM saw a meld of the priest, warrior and merchant classes - the Touchables.
  18. His name indicates he is Brahmin, the highest caste (scholars and teachers),which explains to me some of his context. WASPs entered India and became the dominant class through force of conquest and commerce. The "untouchables", the lowest caste, recognized this... he sees an America collectivized, as Michael says, into superior and inferior groups, not as an aggregate of individuals.
  19. Aren't the stock markets all driven by emotion and rumours and irrational panic anyway?
