Dear Starchild,
TYPOS aside, I’m a (humbler than most) Ivy Leaguer & Lit major. I use language very strategically & intentionally. Even My newfound FREErangeSFnudistPIONEER Pals have figured out it’s better NEVER to take My bait & just stay cool, & never get personally offended, because I enjoy having fun with words as with most things in Life that amuse & tickle Me.
What You call “contrarian” We Ivy Leaguers simply call being “smart,” “intelligent,” “literate,” “numerate,” “thoughtful,” & Most of Us are well schooled & equipped for being attacked & ridiculed by “the other 99.98%” of college grads & the legions more of non-college grads ( most of whom are nonetheless, wonderful & lovely human beings ). “#SticksAndStones…”
Regardless, when I do engage with purported libertarians & Libertarians ( who I hope are above being snow•flakes having daily meltdowns, à la liberals & even gopers taking things way too personally & triggered by garbage they see on teevee ), I expect them to be both LITERATE & NUMERATE & at least understand, if not embrace, everything the flawed yet heroic founders of Our Nation were at least half-heartedly trying to establish.
As John Quincy Adams heroically stated, at the top of His lungs & more calmly in writing ( as the founders were known to be quite shrill & loud, out of frustration ), which I am sure You remember, as an unimpeachable principle:
“Americans should not go abroad to slay dragons that they do not understand in the name of spreading democracy!”
That applies so obviously to the recent fleecing of US$40Billions for fraudulent purposes as any other #USgovt fraud. If You have swallowed hook line & sinker, the specious brazen imbecilic dumb propaganda about Monsieur Putin — or previously Monsieurs Gaddafi Hussein … even Hitler ( who in his entire career NEVER had at his disposal the ANNUAL bloody murderous budget slimy Uncles Joe Trump #OBOMBA #GeoWarmongerBush used at their fingertips ) — is some kind of a hydra that could hold a candle to hundreds of years of #USgovt bloody aggression still currently in full effect ( albeit accelerated to a jaw-dropping degree ), then You are operating from different Libertarian Playbook than I & Ron Paul & Doug Casey & Jake Hornberger et al & You are obviously not familiar with how fine Chefs are able to boil fresh live Grenouille without making a MESS.
All that NONSENSE aside ( & since I, with some regret & shame, brought Hitler into this conversation ) I was wondering if You are planning to do any Libertarian activism during the rarely seen annual full ring cast of Circus Clowns assembling for the upcoming local meaningless vapid charade Pink Triangle MEDIA FRENZY coming up on Wednesday June 1 since upstaging the clowns — even from the cordoned off side lines — should garner more attention & acclaim than most of the activism I have seen You note on this platform.
That & I’d LOVE to see You go head-to-head & face-off with & challenge an actual local powerbroker/sociopath as You have now done repeatedly & with so much fervor & with so many words — yet futilely — with Me.
Have a blessed day!
