Self mutilation is never a good idea

Unless you are the one being paid handsomely to take advantage of someone's mental illness and mutilate them.

This child has been programmed by one of the parents and should be placed in a home where their gender will not be a toy to play with for a sick and ill parent. Children are easy to program to believe anything and act in any fashion and that can last a lifetime, as in religion, prejudice, and self image.

If the child grows up and still wants to cut it off, let them do it when they are 18.

It has been my experience that generally those who practice self mutilation have severe issues with self-esteem and a need for pain and misery which they are all to willing to inflict upon others. They do make adequate slaves though if you are into that sort of thing.

Let the mutilated hordes decry and froth at this post.

Then they can go out and get a piercing, a brand or cut themselves to make them feel better.

It is a severe psychiatric disorder.

My dear Xrandadu Hutman

Obama has been the choice of the establishment and the MSM since the start of this election. They have ridiculed and marginalized every anti-war candidate, every candidate that would hold the Bush administration accountable for their crimes, and every candidate that would not hold the interested of multinational corporations as their highest priority.

Enjoy 8 more years of Bush 2, WTO, NAFTA, debt, war, CFR and bailouts.

True believers never think about the consequences of their blind belief because it just feels so exciting to be a part of the group think. It really does feel great - just look at the film of the Nuremberg rallies. It is so satisfying to be caught up in the moment.

The bankers and the defense industry own the country and play you for fools.

I will vote for Nader and against every incumbent no matter what party - they all voted for war and they all voted for the bailout.

Go ahead and vote for war and more bailouts - that is your only choice. That isn't cynical at all, is it?

MY MY!

A BA in Philosophy no less!

You label me as being perxoidish?

Nonsense!

I am supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, but not perxoidish.

You are a very silly person.

So, was the rat on your shoulder your pet or the dean of your College?

My dear pazure,

I am curious if you got this joke or not:

"So, what do you think of Rudolph Steiner?

I pity the vole!"

I had assumed that you had a degree in Philosophy but now I wonder if you are not gilding your lily a bit.

I pity the vole is a play on I pity the fool and while that is plain and clear, while anthroposophy and biodynamic agriculture are more obscure and known generally to those acquainted with cults, philosophy and Germanic culture of the period which you profess some knowledge of and now I doubt you altogether as well as any credibility you wave around to add weight to your idiotic rants such as "I have a BA in Philosophy".

Pomp without Circumstance!

My dear ? ≠ !,

Joan Walsh is above truth, accountability or reason. Her powerful pejorative adjectives render the truth a moot point and when you are the EDITOR no one dares to correct you so you had best watch out lest your letter writing privileges be suspended for pointing out her many flaws.

Perhaps you should say something nice about her and her writings.

Her grammar is impeccable!

Her adjectives are pungent!

Her poetry rhymes!

Her nome de plume for posting comments to assail her critics is clever!

She makes the truth look like a mangy dog.

My dear Xrandadu Hutman,

I thought that would amuse you.

You see the same look in the eyes at both candidates rallies. you see the same vitriol directed at the opposition.

Who's the best speaker of the three?
