An example. Robert says that currently there is no actual war to stop
and you disagree. Why not define war first. No, you say, define it as
you like because you can resist delivering another newspaper and two
scoops of poop. 

Robert knows that the US is and has been bombing Iraq. He doesn't need
and we don't need to read and reread the newspapers delivered to us from
your manic bicycle and bag as you go skooting through this
cyberneighborhood sucking down coffee, shouting and pointing fingers,
"Dexters, Dexters, Dexters, warmongering republican bush supporters
siege the Pynchon List, reread all about it again,"  a  twisted 
collection of puppet-personas janglingdangling like just married cans in
your wake.
