		<description>G reminds me of the Hamas boyos. Launch a few attacks, declare a cease fire, and then go into the shadows to re-arm their fragile psyches for another explosion of hate.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ll give G. credit for one thing, on a personal level.  I should put on the thinking cap, forsake blogs, and focus on writing.  But, Greg, I don&#039;t feel insecure as a writer.  Only underpaid.</description>

		<description>Well, reaching past greag&#039;s idiotic attempt to appear intelligent, and Book&#039;s gentle (but devastating) rebuke of said attempt, to Book&#039;s original comments--bravo!  

I have been struck by the same contradiction for some time, and especially this whacko idea that nothing in the physical environment can ever change; that the shape of things during our lifetimes--an eyeblink or less in geologic time--is THE form that the earth must take; and that human agency is anything like the major driver of such change. Childish, naive, utopian; certainly of a piece with the rest of what the left has on offer.</description>

		<description>Plastic natures are no minor matter.

G is a nice target. He is simply a computer pretending to act like a human. The Turing Test is being bypassed by the large vocabulary tricks.</description>

		<description>There, if you read my translations 1 through 4, you&#039;ll get the gist of what G means.

G, like all malignant narcissists, often want to create this fantasy world. You, Book and Z, are just actors on the stage with a play directed by G. You two are of no special important to G, really.

&lt;i&gt;
Respect - you know, that something he never had for anyone he wasn&#039;t scared of.&lt;/i&gt;
...
&lt;I&gt;In fact, humanity&#039;s so-called intellectuals are arguably the worst. Recent studies in the UK show that their minds tend to remain permanently in the &quot;immature&quot; state, &quot;educable mode,&quot; which results in congnitive flexibility, blindly believing whatever some authority figure says, and a wide open mind that will let anything in without first running a logic check on it.&lt;/i&gt;

...
&lt;I&gt;They have a deeply ingrained mental habit of filtering out everything but the kind of information they want - their own reflected grandiose image - in their interactions with people. This goes further than &#039;selective memory.&quot; This is &quot;selective consciousness.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

...
&lt;I&gt;Remember that you are bug in his esteem, unworthy of more attention than a fly on the wall. To give you any would pain him as a terrible comedown.&lt;/i&gt;

...

&lt;I&gt;Again, for example. Take one muddy kid and set him loose on an unsupervised playground with clean kids. He will run around, smearing himself off on every clean spot on other kids - till they are all muddy and crying and he looks good by comparison.

That is just a bad day at the playground.

But when he grows up, what if he keeps doing the same thing? What if he projects his faults and flaws off onto others by character assassination? People lose their jobs. Families break up. Businesses fail. Good leaders bite the dust and bad leaders get elected. No minor matter.&lt;/I&gt;- Kathy</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Indeed, Bookworm, partitioning change by its drivers is an awfully good idea. 

Unfortunately for your apologetics and knee-jerk impulse to scorn, anthropogenic ally-driven change remains the defining characteristic of this epoch. 

Still, such change remains open to modulation, management and reversal. 

The plastic nature (as opposed to determinant nature) of anthropogenic change is what confers responsibility onto the individual, a personal responsiblity that conservatives cheer in other arenas.&lt;/b&gt;

Allow me to do a translation service. Since I often use some of the same methods to save time, when more elaboration may be called for.


1. Siding with those that want evil changes is a good (sarcastic) idea as opposed to siding with those that want changes for the good.

2. Unfortunately for you, Book, your attempts at apologizing for the forces of darkness and your petty desire to libel the Forces of the Light is still no match against the reality of human centered meddling in the stream of time.

3. However, just because such forces of change come from humanity does not mean the Left cannot have a say in the destiny of lower lifeforms. For no lifeform can escape its ultimate fate under me.

4. The easily manipulated nature of lower lifeforms is vulnerable to human interference, thus providing responsibility to the discerning human and would be godling. A discernment that conservatives doth not conserve.</description>

		<description>Because your insecurity as a writer, Z-Ray, drives you to ridicule others for the faults you wish you lacked? I&#039;ve advised you before to put a cap on it and get down to the hard work of your own writing. Try it. And thank me a year from now.</description>

		<description>One thing baffles me: why do people who have nothing I would envy accuse me of envy?  As far as the Seven Deadly Sins are concerned, I&#039;m so infatuated with Lust I have no time for the other six.</description>
