That they need to base their approach to, oh, everything on personal experience; acquire some street smarts, make critical examinations and engage in thoughtful interaction with their peers. Maybe read a book now and then. Reflect, and profit thereby. Needless to say I got nowhere.<br /><br />So one might reasonably imagine I'd be dismayed to find the same admonitions are as pointless and futile when given to a pwog. But I'm not dismayed. I've been spared the need to come up with a new futile thing. The old futile thing is perfectly appropriate, to the issues at hand, and as the end result is the same, there's no point to cobbling something new. In this way, the pwog is actually superior to the wingnut. Sort of maybe, kind of perhaps. Okay, not really.Al Schumannhttp://stopmebeforeivoteagain.org/noreply@blogger.com
