Ahhh another player...well for you, Mr. Sailing fool...
I've reached a point where I feel the need to express my disappointment with Mr. Sailingfool. Without going into all the gory details, let's just say that Sailingfool is trying hard to convince a substantial number of callow poseurs to instill a subconscious feeling of guilt in those of us who disagree with his jokes. He presumably believes that the "hundredth-monkey phenomenon" will spontaneously incite the worst sorts of ruthless scrubs there are to behave likewise. The reality, however, is that you don't know how tempted I am to slap the stuffing out of Sailingfool. Period, finis, and Q.E.D. We wouldn't have a problem with Marxism if it weren't for him. Although Sailingfool created the problem, aggravated the problem, and escalated the problem, he insists that he can solve the problem if we just grant him more power. How naïve does Sailingfool think we are? Truly, he recently stated that the only way to expand one's mind is with drugs -- or maybe even chocolate. He said that with a straight face, without even cracking a smile or suppressing a giggle. He said it as if he meant it. That's scary, because we must deal with him appropriately. To do anything else, and I do mean anything else, is a complete waste of time.
You know, it strikes me that the concepts underlying Sailingfool's deceitful memoirs are like the Ptolemaic astronomy, which could not have been saved by positing more epicycles or eliminating some of the more glaring discrepancies. The fundamental idea -- that the heavens revolve around the Earth -- was wrong, just as Sailingfool's idea that a plausible excuse is a satisfactory substitute for performance is wrong. Sailingfool does not tolerate any view that differs from his own. Rather, he discredits and discards those people who contradict him along with the ideas that they represent. Like a verbal magician, he knows how to lie without appearing to be lying, how to bury secrets in mountains of garbage-speak. The problem with Sailingfool is not that he's silly. It's that he wants to spawn a society in which those with the most deviant lifestyle, contemptuous behavior, or personal failures are given the most by the government. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
