NP: With Me, It's All or Nuthin'

[Henry]

Oh! THAT quote, Bryan.  That was an interpretation of the badly founded
fatalism found in your message.  A quote would have been additionally found
in "Original Message" my message.

Pompous?  Moi!  How about your "bison" in your previous messages, i.e. the
mob amongst which you are not included? "You're tired of the worst... I'm
tired of it ALL?"  Nah, nothing pompous there, but I dunno, it just doesn't
sound very "Chomskyite" to me, but maybe I haven't read as much Chomsky as
you have, or perhaps you meant to say "nihilist," as in "Vee are Nihilists,
Lebowski; vee belief in nuh-ting, Lebowski."  Nothing inherently pompous
there, either, but maybe that's just me again.

I didn't say they seemed like my own words, I said you are quoting them as
if I said them.  That I made pretty clear... And I spend plenty of my time
looking "at my own house" ...now I'm just disgusted by the assumptive and
pompous high-horse tone.

This isn't going anywhere, you pretty much missed or misunderstood most of
my points... Maybe that is my fault but either way back to Pynchon for me.

Besides, I'm a Chomskyite... There's no sense discussing politics with us.

But I was serious when I wished Obama luck.  He's the better of the three
but that's like picking a cancer to die from... (for me at least, obviously)
