Follow the Sandal!

Whoops, sorry for turning to derision here. I seem to be starting to follow in
his "light"...

(And whoops, I did it again. Shame on me.)

Okay, enough of this rubbish.  PLONK!

Once again you have managed to turn a normal post into massive whinge/rant.

Well done, you are the first, one and only person I have put in my killfile.

Forget the sandal, follow the gourd! ;-)

Yet 2 little trolls revolve endlessly around me with egos of gravitational
proportion, so in love. Makes me think of Rose on 2 and a half men; creepy
sweet.

Just cause you haven't the capacity to catch a glipse, keep trying, anything is
possible. The light will keep shining. No amount of jealousy will put it out.

Thanx for your creepy sweet and oh so sick interest in something you'll never
grok!

I'm not going to enter the discussion of who made what. I'll just give the
suggestions that those spirals don't look quite right if they are supposed
to be galaxies, make them double-armed and I believe it'll look better.

Recent study suggests:

1. Those that are completely incompetent overestimate their competence 
to the point where they ignore and reject the advice of people that *are*.

2. Those that are competent tend to get that way be second 
guessing/questioning everything, including themselves, and thus almost 
always under estimate their own abilities.

Gee.. wonder which camp AQ is in..

Hey Dre, Thanks for the reply:

Bravo! Congrats to someone anyway. It's difficult to say exactly which part of
your programming broke you, or its source. Well-trained monkeys can do what you
just did. Your first mistake was allowing the consensus to influence your
thought and speech in anyway. But don't worry there's cure for what they did to
you.

There's a blue pill that will delete the current programming from your head and
allow you to think for yourself. I highly recommend it for your type.

Note that this "blue pill" contains fluoride.

Last time I heard people talk like that, I ultimately found out they were as
blind as everyone else. Not knowing what they were actually talking about, they
had found *something*, and in their excitment called it *the light*.

Me included. A hard lesson to learn, to be so convinced yet so mistaken.

They (well, we), too, were fond of that "blue pill" imagery.

Right now about the only thing I do know for sure is that I'm still far from
"the light". Just like probably everyone else. Alpha included, that's for sure.
Been there, seen it, done that. Alpha may wake up some day, too.

I see truth in some of what he's proclaiming, but he doesn't grasp its real
meaning, obviously. Not yet. When he does, he'll realize all he had been
swallowing and advertising were placebos. (Figuratively speaking - not talking
about his real-world medication here.)
