So now we're back to 'coward', adding 'thug' and 'woman-beater'. Nice! Keeps you from having to make any actual points, doesn't it? Don't think we don't notice.

We are back to "that" only because you self-identify and keep bringing it up.

By the way, who is we? lwm, is that you again? Damn, had me that time.

But since I am typing, what "points" where to be made that I did not make? We were never discussing anything. You insulted me, and I insulted back, and then we did a repeat. Then again. Again.

Now we are here. You hate me --- want to hurt me. Too bad you got no army to back you up, eh sport?

I, on the other hand, just add you to the cabal from wince you crawled and we are done. Feel free to take a few more shoots tonight, but I am off to do real work.

Bye, thug.

Since, by my own yardstick, I'm on the verge of bickering here, I think I'll let Scarlett be my guide, and busy myself elsewhere until the morrow.

L.W.M. willing, Bucky is free to find a shady spot back behind the pile of Hydramatic transmissions and Hudson Hornet hubcaps, and gnaw on that old New Dealer's leg bone that someone tossed him during the Reagan administration.

-- William Timberman

Good job Willy! You wrote many posts and wrote many words and never once defended your assertion that nothing can be done without the state. Weaseled out of another one!

Then you made the last little insult that I was a Reagan man. Reagan is like all modern American Presidents; guilty of the most heinous of war crimes.

So, you cuddle up with your LBJ dolls and dream of killing gooks --- you know the sub-humans you and LBJ slaughtered.

Bitter-sweat dreams.

Just saying "bucky is dumb" does not answer the question on the table. -- bucky1

No, it doesn't. It may be necessary, but it's not sufficient, which is why I didn't actually say it.

-- William Timberman

But you did say it. Not in so many words, but you did say it.

Do you really think that anyone, outside of your cabal, would agree that if you use weasel words and do not say something explicitly then you have not really said it?

I think not.

How do you see anything with your head so far up your ass? Got a periscope?

Another brilliant rejoinder from bucky. My, the logic of your argument is simply unassailable.

Is that pearl of wisdom something you got from your indepth reading of 'the Sufis'? Or was that 'the Gnostics' in action?

-- quickstrategy

Sorry coward, it don't work like you want it to. You want me to ignore the cheap shots you through my way and not return fire.

The Sufi taught me that I did not have to suffer fools like you; you see, you are the type that hits woman because they can not hit back. To not answer a thug like you would be wrong.

Thug.

And a question. Is the UPS your idea of a voluntary association?

-- William Timberman

No, I do not care enough about your evasion to do your homework. I will say that it was early on and we were first discussing our notions on government. If I get time I might look, I bet it was in the summer when I had plenty of time and the cabal started the libertarian wars.

Yes, UPS is as close to a voluntary association as you will see in Modern America. They probably get some subsidies (welfare for the rich), but mainly the government attacks them over their competition to the Post Office. Have you ever been forced to deal with UPS? Are they the only firm allowed in their market sector by law?

What the hell do you not know about a simple word like voluntary? The laissez-faire market is non-coerced voluntary cooperation.

He never defends a position so much as dances around it.

Still trying to type with that mirror in front of your face, I see.

-- quickstrategy

How do you see anything with your head so far up your ass? Got a periscope?

" ... inflicting physical pain on you would certainly give me pleasure. ..."

My, my. Another armed thug trained by the government shows his true colors.

Not to worry, I knew you were that type by your self-described bio.

The Post Office? Really? It doesn't sound like one of mine, this Timberman doctrine you're referring to. Perhaps you could dig through the archives and provide a quote?

Meanwhile, Mr. voluntary-associations-are-always-better-than-any-government, here's a quote for you: Et in Arcadia ego.

-- William Timberman

Why yes, it is one of yours. You claimed that the poor fellows in the country where the population density was low would not have any mail service without the Post Office being set up and run by our wonderful masters in DC.

If you are now saying that you do think that the delivery of mail could better be handled by the free market, then WOOT!! We have a breakthrough!

What next? Will you agree that justice has been handled in societies in the past much better than we in the USA handle it? I do a little research on the sub-humans in the so-called justice system and almost anything would be preferable to the present cluster-fuck.

"... william, you are doing what I told you I wouldn't let you get away with. You are weaseling around with synonyms and equivocations, trying to avoid the point, ..."

Rowan, you get a lot of words out of Willy and most are weasel words. He never defends a position so much as dances around it.
