Government Shut Down

[Lamplighter]

So stupid (all of you, for missing [or, being incapable of comprehending]
the point of anything I've written in this thread [and others]).

HQ, you're kidding yourself. People here do comprehend what you are writing.

Maybe you are the one missing it ... that some/I see your postings
as naive or simplistic or implausible or callow or silly, or maybe just sort of "stupid".

Next.

His user picture is of a caveman. Fits pretty good. I'd like to see him actually try to survive in the individualistic world he espouses.

"I'd like to see him actually try to survive in the individualistic world he espouses."

I think I'd do pretty well.

How do I 'know'?

Been there and done that.

I could regale you with details but -- pffftt! -- you wouldn't believe me, I can't (in a tangible fashion, by way of the net) prove anything, and you aren't worth the trouble anyway.

I'd actually be interested to hear what you have to say. I love hearing people's experiences.

No, 'they' don't.

Your opinion (which I get): you're welcome to it.

Not a libertarian: too many rules.

Look in the mirror.

Insults only hurt when they have some degree of truth. Looks like I might have touched a nerve. And here I thought you were a steely individualist, surrounded in the impenetrable armor of his narcissism.

Refreshing to hear your point of view, in any case. I'd put you a to the right of the Libertarian, for sure.

What do you call your political orientation?

[henry quirk]

Just 'Henry Quirk': I got no politics.

You don't need to prove anything to me. I've already written you off as delusional and paranoid.

Still, I'd enjoy hearing tales of your time living as a member of a tribe in Papua New Guinea. And about how you trekked 100 miles in a day through the mountains of Nepal.
