No, I'm part of the twenty percent that do all the work for the other eighty percent.
Now you know what I've had to put up with for the last eight years.
Just remember, kids. "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."
At least that's what the bumper stickers used to say.

I am so confused. 20%? 80%?
I nominate Paula Abdul for Art Czar before this thread gets locked.
I mean, c'mon, she so talented and smart.

non sequitur. Your facts are uncoordinated. What have you had to put up with for eight years, where the side that claims it's not torturing people has been in power and dissent has been continually labeled as treason?CurtZHP wrote:No, I'm part of the twenty percent that do all the work for the other eighty percent.

which is why you just ridiculed an opinion that differs from the official line of the current administration...way to support the highest form of patriotism there duder.CurtZHP wrote:Just remember, kids. "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism."

Who?
Paula Abdul? She'd probably shack up with the surgeon general. The poor kid would be named Sanjay Abdul Gupta Jr.???
But maybe Quincy Jones himself?
Herbie Hancock perhaps?
Bono?
wait, what am I thinking... how about The Boss?
You know who's earned it... Bonie Raitt.

Right you are. After rereading my earlier comments, a couple things in reverse order of importance:
#2
The point I hamhandedly tried to make originally was that I didn't think we needed another cabinet-level department. Personally, I think we have too many already. I think several of them could be easily done away with, starting with....(wait for it, sports fans...)...The Department of Homeland Security. Here endeth the rant. Thanks be to God.

Young Winston, I owe you an apology. Our political disagreements do not warrant the ad hominum attack I lobbed in your direction. I've been on the receiving end of such remarks and didn't like it, so for me to treat you in kind (having never been attacked by you) is something I'm ashamed of. I know better. Even before Dwlb called me on it I was thinking about it, trying to rationalize the irrational. Bad day? So what? You had nothing to do with it. Facts and/or opinions aside, my attitude sucked.
Because of our shared passion about audio, I like to think of everyone here as a friend. I was always taught to deserve my friends, and today I blew it. I'm truly sorry.

I am equally at fault, however.
My original comment was off topic and out of line as well. I did nothing to prevent the situation from escalating, and that's not fair to anyone. You have my sincerest apologies.
To you and to everyone, I'm sorry to have derailed the thread.
