    How can any of them recover from being themselves? --Brant

    Peter, enforced "civility" will kill this place. Civility like cleanlines is next to nothing. (The Miracle Worker) It is up to you to keep Jon in his place vis-a-vis you, not Michael et al. When the owner steps in it's with some newcomers or the really bad like Victor Pross or when Philip Coats went generally toxic. Your problem is you don't know how to handle Jon, expecting help in what is a personal endeavor. I handle Jon by not handling him. I handle you by writing this post (and such). I didn't ask Michael to write it. If Jon were to call me names I'd be perplexed and amused. I'd think my way through the perplexedness while keeping the amused. That's because people used to shoot at me with real bullets. I admit words can be more powerful than bullets: "A truth told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent." (William Blake) Thank you for supporting OL. I hope to be able to too, soon. --Brant

    That's not what Rand said. --Brant

    Not a gang? You must think they aren't a gang like the gangs of South LA. --Brant the Nazis weren't a gang nor were the brown shirts because they wore uniforms?

    Third party intervention? It's not happening. --Brant

    State to state economic coercion ranging from mild to over the top de facto trying for a major policy change stated or not. This is prior to any shooting. If your idea of war is shooting we can call it "pre war war dynamics." Is somebody shooting? --Brant semantics can be tiresome

    You cannot ideologically think your way--the US way--out of the Mideast quagmire for no matter how right and brilliant your analysis the quagmire will remain. If some Yokel President tried to apply that to it it'll be worse than if he hadn't. As for trade, sanctions are acts of war. That's why Japan attacked us. We pretended they weren't so we got caught with our pants down. But Roosevelt and Churchill were delighted. --Brant

    It's to create the illusion of moral efficacy by the left from the left. The ostensible target is next to irrelevant. It's bathing in one's own sauce. --Brant

    I'd agree with you except she didn't spend any of it on me. --Brant disgruntled

    Thus Jimmy destroyed the unique culture of the old Atlantis today unrepeatable and inimitable and, frankly, unimaginable to anyone who hadn't experienced it. If it isn't broke don't fix it. At least he went on to better things and we went to Yahoo Groups, AtlantisII. ---Brant it seems only Peter has this stuff archived

    I don't think you understand. You're supposed to do that in Billy's cosmology. It's called division of labor. Get on the team. --Brant if you fail to do so you fail and are refuted, autonatically--and he keeps on trucking
