Moonie, Moonie, Moonie. I suspect that I have given you more credit than you deserve and I therefore apologize.
-------------------------------------
Your apology is accepted but please don't do it again. I fancy myself to be an independent logical self actualized tour de force, an ego extraordinaire, the Ne Plus Ultra. Credit from you would, for me, be only a come down.
---------------------------
I thought you were a rational, autonomous person with the ability to use reason to dissect the meanings of thing as there are and as they ought to be. Clearly, I was wrong.
-------------------------------
Yes, I know, this has been a constant in my life. I am a great luminous being, a genius right up to and until my admirers, almost all of them, fall in the spotlight. Then I'm a deluded fool. Yes, yes, I reason to dissect the meanings of things as they are and as they ought to be right up to the point where I disappear into your inner darkness. At that point I become clearly wrong.
-----------------------------------
You seen, Moonie, one can be independent and "travel the threads giving drippy moral support." They are not mutually exclusive. I exercised my own free will and will continue to show my support whenever, wherever, for whomever I choose, which is consistent with my philosophical ideologies, providing, of course, my decision to show support was not influenced by another.
--------------------------------
My, my, my! Methinks thou dost protesteth too much! You weren't accused; you were asked to examine a couple of questions. We find you have sore toes about being an individual. Hum? An overprotective Mother, a father who didn't appreciate or pushed his bright child. Gott in Himmel, never mind, not enough data.
--------------------------
Moreover, like some on here, you illogically draw flawed conclusions from a one-word post: "Nice." I would take to time to quote some the drivel you toss around about these proverbial mirrors, but that would be a waste of time...
-------------------------------------
As it proved a waste of reflection?
--------------------------------
In short, I am free to show my support, but I do not ask for it return. How is this not consistent with my thoughts toward individualism? "I live for no man, and would never ask another man to live for me."
--------------------------------------
And yet you take the time to explain all this to me asking from me or others, what? nothing?
I love you Galt. You remind me so much of myself. It's hard for me to really say for sure, my friend, but it may be that I don't think so much as I feel. My box may have bigger air holes. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Ah me a lovely cool breeze is blowing in off the ocean. Just perfect with a coffee.
