esp. for Alex...was: Still More Snot chapter 2....The Snot Report..... 536

Why am I not surprised? A real man of your word, eh?

Nope. No divide and conquer here. That is where you take two or more opponents and drive a wedge between them so that you can debate each individually. Unless you are posting with multiple personalities, there is no divide really feasible.

Nope. The whole subject is your naive view that "the CEOs (and their brethern) are greedy-selfish bums, period". There had been no "change the subject" strategy, except when you try to bring in WMD, Iraq, etc. as if that were what was being talked about.

I've made enough comments that a discerning reader could get a good feel. And I could elaborate but I won't. I guess that makes me, using the Sowerian principle of guilty until proven innocent, guilty! LOL!

Is this still another Sowers principle, along with guilty until proven innocent? All I can say is that it is a good thing you are not in charge!

Okay, I'll spell out the nontortuous interpretation for you and for the extremely unlikely event that anyone else was confused: You said "The only ones that are going to get the blowtorch on their buttes are the ones that pled guilty and agreed to cooperate with the lawyers." I said "I hope you are wrong," which I think that any reasonable person of modest or higher intelligence would understand to mean "I hope that the ones that pled guilty are not the only ones that are going to get the blowtorch on their buttes" In case that is still not clear enough, another way to say it is that I hope that someone other than just those who plead get punished. I'm not used to having to explain such seemingly clear statements. I hope this cleared up whatever confusion was in your mind.
