    Wasn’t it just yesterday some comments mentioned seeing only the cat’s back? I haven’t been here long, but I think this is the first time I’ve seen the cat’s face. Hey, Wiley Cat, don’t be afraid to show your face more often.Maybe s/he has his/her own agender.

    And in Mark Twain!.From “The Mysterious Stranger,” Chapter 11:…“Nothing exists; all is a dream. God—man—the world—the sun, the moon, the wilderness of stars—a dream, all a dream; they have no existence. Nothing exists save empty space—and you! …“Strange! that you should not have suspected years ago—centuries, ages, eons, ago!—for you have existed, companionless, through all the eternities. Strange, indeed, that you should not have suspected that your universe and its contents were only dreams, visions, fiction!…“It is true, that which I have revealed to you; there is no God, no universe, no human race, no earthly life, no heaven, no hell. It is all a dream—a grotesque and foolish dream. Nothing exists but you. And you are but a thought—a vagrant thought, a useless thought, a homeless thought, wandering forlorn among the empty eternities!”…http://www.mtwain.com/The_Mysterious_Stranger/10.html …All well and good, as long as he doesn’t use it as an excuse to not pay for his meal.

    Does this mean my universe is a fiction? Well…I’ve got to improve my writing, then.-And all of you are figments of my imagination? What bizarre freudian mindset caused me to dream up argumentative know-it-alls skat-ting about comic strips? And why did you dream me up?-Weird, huh?

    There’s a RI cartoonist that does “How To Talk Good Like A Rhode Islander Should.” He has a cartoon (I saw it on a T-shirt) with a picture of a woman: “Brender.” And a picture of of a kitchen appliance: “Blendah.”

    Remember the line about the first person to say “Hitler” loses the argument? For me, the first person to say “tea bagger” proves they are incapable of logical argument.

    Think Repper is refering to the rule that in a chat argument the person who’s lossing will be the first to refer to Hitler, ie, their arguemnt can’t hold weight so they start throwing around emotional epithats. And for Repper s/he/it assumes anyone refering to a teabagger has resorted to name calling and is therefor “loosing.” .Sadly this ignores: 1. the tea party members who embrace this title.2. all the rest of the less lucid who resort to name calling in all of it’s many poltical iterations, be that republi-thug or Obummer.3. those who like to perform oral acts on .ahem. family jewels

    Linguist said, less than a minute ago@OmniusNever did see that part in the Constitution about reality being subjective,>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Then you have not read many of the opinions emanating from the judicial geniuses at the Supreme Court. The more they say that they are "strictly interpreting the Constitution ", the more subjective their reality becomes.

    Eddie’s been fishing more than long enough to know the phases of the moon, and pretty much know the tide tables in his head, by heart. However, his “talent” for wrecking his boat indicates he DOES get his information from Fox News. I watch occasionally, with a sense of humor. The other day, in 12 minutes of their “reporting” there were 16 MAJOR factual errors in their stories! When they get “political”, then all bets for accuracy are totally off.

    Sadly, news has all gone way down. Last night a CBS reporter in the field reported concern about hispanics because of the 2011 election! duh!

    The idea that there is no absolute truth has been around for a while. It’s still utter nonsense: to be true, it must be false. Therefore, it must be false.

    I read an article awhile back. The gist was that the universe may really be a matrix. Hogwash but it makes for an interesting and light read. If it is true, the universe is subjective. >>http://www.movies.com/movie-news/scientists-announce-study-to-determine-if-were-all-living-in-the-matrix/10647
