EvenGreaterPeeve!: There's a new book out; don't remember the exact title
but it's basically "Portable Curmudgeon Revisited."  And check out the
"Portable Curmudgeon's Guide to Love."  I read it whenever I get the desire
to attach myself to some half-wit man or woman just so I can have a
sweet thang to bitch about at work.  Selah.

You're missing the point. My personal objection to Sinead's action and
ongoing position is twofold:

1) It is offensive. She is certainly entitled to disagree with the
Pope's positions or actions, but I find it endlessly amusing that the
same radical fringe who would eagerly crucify me for accidentally
using last week's term for people of melanin-augmented persuasion is
rallying around what very nearly amounts to a blatant declaration of
bigotry.

I use the term bigotry with all due consideration. Think about the
uproar if someone had gotten up there and said that while ripping up a
picture of, say, Jesse Jackson or [name of head of Jewish church]. Not
that I personally necessarily agree that such an action would
automatically constitute bigotry as opposed to merely a dramatic way
of expressing one's disagreement, but I'm sure that Jesse Jackson, for
instance, would be very quick to characterize it as such, were it
applied to him. Certainly, publicly calling the leader of one of the
world's major religions an evil slimeball who deserves to be torn limb
from limb by slavering hairless radicals (not a direct quote ;>) is
hardly a proven way to promote peace, goodwill, or rational discourse.


More importantly (at least to me),

2) It is stupid. Did you by any chance catch an interview with Sinead
on MTV about a month ago? (yes, through a long and convoluted process
I actually came to be watching what passes for political discourse on
MTV) She said something very close to "There is nothing positive about
organized religion." I'm certainly not saying that there is nothing
negative about it (I vehemently disagree with the above-mentioned
anti-contraception stance); she could even credibly argue that it is
on balance a bad thing, especially in this day and age; but to be
unable to perceive _anything_ good about it combines the selective,
black-and-white vision of an extreme radical with the perspicacity of
a flatworm.

                                  Cordially,

Unfortunately, that's the impression I'm sure a lot of people got.  This
bothers me, because I'm sure it's not accurate.  Stockdale struck me as
an extremely educated, intelligent and down-to-earth person whose mind
just moved too fast for his mouth to to be able to keep up, and who isn't
at his best in a debate setting.

On the other hand, I thought Gore came across as too slick and deliberate;
with his slow, carefully enunciated speech and expansive gestures, he acted
as though he was narrating an educational film for third graders.  I found 
this subtle condescension annoying.

Quayle was guilty of a far greater crime, though: his persistent interrup-
tion.  Nobody ever won a debate by shouting down his opponent.  Shut the 
hell up, Dan!  

!Peeve:  Immediately after the end of the debate, as the camera pulled back
a bit from the moderator to reveal the crowd, I saw The Billster himself.
No lie -- several rows out, stage right.  Congratulations, Mr. Berbenich;
you can now say you've been on national television.

Why do I say you don't understand? It's quite easy really. Our Westminster
comrade makes some unintelligible comments supporting "Good Ol' Maggie" (tm)
but, do you come back with some scathing acerbic wit? Do you hell!


No. The vanguard of Strathclyde wit makes derisory comments about the fact that
the Westminster comrade is affiliated to a "new university". We are thus
supposed to assume that our Westminster comrade is stupid just because of
his affiliation. The logic astounds me.

My simple little riposte was to point out the contradiction given
the fact that Strathclyde is not exactly an old university, but a former
Technology College which changed its title in the 1960s expansion.

I made no reference to the admissions policy of Westminster, Strathclyde or
Oxford. It was you, Steve, I was calling "elitist".

As for me being flushed out as the other Maggie voter ... what was Billy
Connolly's line :

"More to be pitied than scorned"

That seems to fit what I think of you Steve.

I don't understand how you got to University without an inkling of logic. If
I defend your enemy against an idiotic attack, that does not make me his
friend. You are a student aren't you, not an escapee from the Animal House?

Which piece of my posting indicates my allegiance to any kind of Toryism, Steve?

It might help to mention that recent research suggests that Libertarians
are born rather than made. Studies of dead libertarians show that the
part of the brain concerned with logical thought is almost completely
absent. There is, however, some doubt arising from the possibility that
this might be due to listening to Hawkwind albums.

It's worse than that, Tim. We're so far removed from service that providing
it is advertised as an extra bonus. To wit: QFC, a major grocery chain in
Western Washington, advertises its free home delivery. It touts this as
one of the premier reasons why QFC is so much better than the other stores,
which don't.

Think of it as similar to a candy bar: the bar gets smaller AND the price
rises, and you're supposed to be grateful.
