Michael, Now we know why the marines made nihil a correspondent. They couldn't trust him with a weapon. ~H~

I think you are wrong, and it is the inconsistency of your thought that makes me brand you an imbecile. I have never assaulted an homosexual per se alone or in a gang. The sexual assaults in junior high schools to which you refer ended in one case in a fight (which I lost and was rescued from rape by my friends) and in the other case in which I literally turned the other cheek. I have, I believe, never projected enmity on persons in a group when one or a few members of the groups injured me. That is something my father taught me long ago when I has a child that I have never, I believe, acted against. As far as mental disturbance goes, I have suffered from a brutal nerve disease and depression for almost all my life. Much of my youth was wasted in talk therapy and self-analysis. I believe that most of my problems are physiological, and that I have handled most psychological trauma very, very well. My "career" such as it was, fluctuated between extraordinary achievements when I was functioning well, and abject failure when I was depressed. As a chemist I studied for many years trying to find a biochemical and physiological basis for behavior and mood. I think this is on the verge of cure now. I believe that activation of the endorphinogenic system by drugs and nerve stimulation will provide the basis for curing not only me (if I live long enough and I (or others) am able to complete the research) but everyone else. It is natural. It is cheap. It is safe. It is non-addictive, and I am convinced it works or can be made to work very soon. So yes, I think you may safely say that I am neurotic and possibly disturbed. But I am functioning, I think, quite well under what I consider trying circumstances. I am struggling to stay alive and functional. I am working every day. I think it fair to say that the internet is my chief intellectual stimulus and my outlet for aggression (see! he has insight). I have found some extraordinary, brilliant people on the web (not this thread, of course!) whom I could not have met any other way. I have also met some of the most annoying, ignorant, confounded nuisances I have ever heard of. They seem to follow me around like chiggers. Some of them, like you, appear to have normal or even normal-bright intelligence, but don't seem able to learn or keep on task. In my case, I read perhaps a 300,000 words (not all of them different, of course) a day and remember many of them, their sources, and their meanings. My mind's active memory turns over many times a day. I have friendly, useful contacts with dozens of people every day. I am sorry, Michael, but I don't think I learn much from you, despite your frequent pestering. Many of the people I spar with are open, amusing, humorous, intelligent. I beleive my classes at the university average three S.D.'s above the mean. I agree fully with no one, but I can say with Will Rodgers I never met a man I didn't like. I have never had a serious conflict with any one of the thousands of students I have taught. One of my failings, I guess, is that when someone had injured me deeply, I tend to make excuses to myself for his conduct. Despite the fact that you are a punk, I feel like Ann, that there is something good in you. I have no idea what it is. Maybe you like dogs. Hitler did.
