Random Rants

Oh yeah?! Well, you’re still a namecalling moron!

You’re pretty tired of all my whining and ranting and probably wishing and praying that I stop.  I won’t.  The reason I won’t is because I’m hateful bastard.  I’m not going to stop until the economy gets better. Meaningful debate requires that all parties involved carefully consider the merits of their counterpart’s views and arguments.  Being cordial also helps.  What doesn’t help is when I carefully present my views and your retort include the following…
