re: #38 Charles

Watch — this is going to be the new tactic the freak show blogs will try to use to discredit me. They’ll pick through my archives looking for posts that “prove” how much I’ve changed.

Going by what’s in the search log this morning, they’re already at it.

Charles, just an observation.

I am not saying that you have changed at all. You’ve always been a thoughtful type who is interested in the facts first and the truth first.

You have also always been hysteria resistant.

Because of this you have also, taken in some new information and actually re-evaluated some things. My point is, this is the sign of a thinker who is honest. This is nothing to be ashamed of, and if people were to try to “smear you” with proving that you can actually think for yourself, rather than going with a blathering horde of losers, well, honestly, how is that a smear?

In the books of sane and intelligent people, being able to think is considered a good thing, and that sometimes means refining views or discounting crap once it becomes clear it was crap.

OH well…

In my book, being a rigid idiot who blindly follows hateful impulses and can not be reasoned with is the insult.
