I detest verbosity (sound and fury signifying nothing) so let's pare to the
basic bone... liberalism is a euphemism for slothful. The Mick Blake is
intelligent, I'll grant he has a higher IQ than Duh'Weenie and Twilly
combined, but he's totally devoid of intellect and he has no common sense
whatsoever... without a doubt the most bitter, pitiful individal ever to
come through the rfc portal so you can't take anything he says seriously...
his world is all about him and excludes all others... it would literally
frighten him to death to consider another's opinion on anything, and that's
because he goes through life wearing blinders, he recognizes no one but
himself, and there lies his greatest handicap by far... everyone on the
planet carries burdons, many much weightier than his.
