Dreamer, my man, I believe that I long ago apologized publicy to you for the "eat dirt" comment. If not, I do so, here and now. If you will note, most, if not all, of my recent replies to your posts have, thanks to other bloggers reminding me of who I am, and whom I purport to represent, have been, or tried to be, polite dissention, if I disagree with something you have said, politically, or, more importantly, to me, spiritually.<br><br>I hope you appreciated my birthday note to you. I wouldn't want to be in your "family shoes" in any way. All I can do is sympathize. I can empathize only in my already posted fact, that my second wife was (merely) sexually abused by her stepfather from the age of eleven to the age of seventeen, when, in her own words, "I stomped the skinny little bastard's ass!!!". I sat beside this second wife (whom I still dearly love) at the "bastard's" funeral in 1993. Talk about weird highness!!<br><br>You could be an "alphabet souper", or like myself, you could just be "who you are". I hope you will notice, on any of my posts, (excluding self-deprecating, deliberate humor, much like yourself), whether I have been shown to be correct, or incorrect, right or wrong, that, for the most part, I have steadfastly Refused to Back Off of the core beliefs that I hold dear.<br><br>That, my dear, Dreams End, is what I consider the mark of manhood. Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But, when you are shown irrefutable evidence, that you are/were wrong, for God's Sake in Heaven, at least be Man Enough to admit it. My only real problem with your posits, is that, I, and others, feel that you have been shown enough evidence of a conspiracy older than any of us could have ever imagined, and yet, still refuse to believe it.<br><br>But (from my world/universal view), that is your free will, God given right to do. I buy a few shares of Voltaire, myself. I might not agree with what you say, but (I hope) I will have the courage to defend to the death, your God given RIGHT TO SAY IT!!! If you feel I am being unclear here, feel free to disagree, and, never, Never, NEVER Give Up in the cause of FREEDOM!!! (wish there was an icon available here for kick the bad guys' asses, and take their names away from them forever!)<br><br>Alexander F. Mutter, B.A., D.,s.b.<br> <p></p><i></i>
