[Platt] Typical. Talk-show rhetoric is deceptive and distortive, and Limbaugh is vile.
[Arlo] Yes, it is. And yes, he is. [Arlo had said] It was "capitalists" who branded Pirsig a "radical professor"? At any rate, yes, the perennial nonsense that brands "radical professors" I do find, as Pirsig did, "just right-wing politics". [Platt] Typical. What capitalists say is "nonsense." (Talk about "all or nothing.") [Arlo] Did I say that? I don't think so. In fact, I wonder how on earth you went from my condemning those who branded Pirsig a "radical professor" to "what capitalists say is nonsense"? But that's just another in the great legacy of examples that prove the deceptive, distortive nature of your talk-show rhetoric. [Platt] I gave examples of dumbing down in previous posts that don't cater to anybody -- just the facts. [Arlo] Really? And what were those that were not "the fault of liberals" or "the fault of foreigners"? [Arlo had said] Whites as the minority?!?! Oh my god! Run for the hills! We are doomed! [Platt] Which is good reason why you should study the Western canon. [Arlo] Unlike your xenophobic, racist cronies, I don't care one whit that "whites" may soon be the "minority". Why do you care? As for what "canon" I study, I study the human canon, Platt. Sorry if that offends you. Say what you will. I am done. It was bad zen on my part, and I have no interest in being caller number twelve. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
