I AM and HAVE BEEN looking into the facts (the definition of that word, I
believe, is part of where you and I differ). I will take the time to look up
your references, but I want to know more about what makes you a
"first-hand witness." If you have seen such devices at work, I, and I am
sure many others, would like to hear about your experiences. Don't
hold back on us!
As for my being close-minded, I offer these questions for
your consideration:
1) If I were close-minded, would I even be looking into the possibility
of free energy at all? Would I be concucting my own experiments
and using my money and time to construct such devices in the hope
that they may indeed be legitimate? Be open minded in how you
consider these questions.
2) Is being critical, skeptical, and examining the same as being
close-minded? Is being willing to test, try, experiment, discuss, and
debunk in the search for truth the same as being close-minded?
3) Is my unwillingness to accept all information as fact and not examine
it critically the same as close-mindedness? Isn't accepting all such
information as fact WITHOUT being willing to examine it THE SAME as
close-mindedness?
Once you answer these questions with an open mind, you will truly
know if I am close-minded.
As for my being arrogant, well, you got me on that one. ;-)
I do apologize. Humility is hard for me when I am engaged in heavy
discussion. It's one of my faults.
As I have stated, I will follow up on your sources. It's just that I should be
working on finishing a graduate research project instead of typing
e-mails all day. When I have more time away from my current, very
publishable research, I promise to do the fun research and follow up
on your sources.
Open-mindedly yours,
HOFFA

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
