Well SHUCKS, Keith, not only are you flaming, too, you are
ALSO misquoting me.  <Furthermore I can't help it if you  haven't gotten
all of the followup articles...>

First off, I damned well DO understand the absurdity involved.

The fact that at least twenty people saw fit to reply shows me 
just how close to home I hit, as far as I'm concerned, since  these
people are both taking the argument seriously, and then using the
same liars tactics to try to make me look absurd.  You say that
the person who mentioned the South Bronx was trying to make me
look uninformed. In the south Bronx, they call uninformed people
lke that fascist pigs <which is one place that the word came into use,
aside from net.politics>.  The author of the article was quite deliberately
trying to pin the label on me, by association, if not by direct mention.
There is a mistrust of anyone with a paying job in this country,
and the author is also trying to dishonestly take advantage of that.

I suggest that you consider what you felt when you read the articles,
and the replies, and see whose article you felt like using
logic on, even to deny it.<Gotcha> Also consider whose article
inspired you to bring up the emotional manipulation.  
(Perhaps the part about the south Bronx??  I didn't mention that
first.  Maybe the part about starving babies??  I didn't even USE
that phrase in my  article, it was too transparently and deliberately
emotionally loaded, and I figured that people would figure that
I was misquoting.)

Perhaps the emotional response brought on by my article, when you 
recognized the tactics mentioned being used, deliberately, prompted
you to read and/or reread the article???

Good day, sir. <IF such exists in this socialist society.>
