Rick-You ask,<<"Will you speak with me today Gary?">>
My hunch is, the only way I "will speak with you today," Rick, is if they allow patients in mental institutions to make phone calls, and you find a dime.
You ask me also whether I "recognize your speech patterns?"
Regrettably, I do, Rick. Early in my career I participated in a case involving a serial rapist--and he and you share not only the identical speech patterns, but in addition, you both project a sense of unbalanced megalomania. He was diagnosed officially as suffering from schizophrenia*
Have you been diagnosed lately?
