I chose one small item among many, and proved it was a ridiculous, manipulative lie. It took a good deal of energy to do this, but it was worth doing because the subsection of the anti-abortion movement that that pamphlet represents was exposed here for what it is, and so were you exposed. You were exposed, but, oddly, what you actually are is unclear. No, I take that back. It's clear to me that you are dishonest, and it's clear to me that you are cognitively impaired. It is the proportions that are hard to determine. Disingenuousness can masquerade as blockheadedness, of course. It's called "playing dumb." About the calling-you-a-liar matter: Michael was taking me to task for calling you a liar. I merely called to his attention that in the post to which he was responding I had modified my views (consistently with the one he offered) to this one, and I quote: "[PROLIFE HAS} again created some misimpressions. I have come to believe that [he is] in a state similar to an hypnotic one, and [is] innocent of intentional lies." It was reasonable of me to have pointed out to him that I had already arrived at the position he was recommending. Your inability to comprehend this (unless you do, and are being disingenuous when you claim not to) is an example of a striking cognitive impairment. We do not have here a complex conceptual construct. However, lest my statement quoted above leave a misimpression, I will tell you that I retract it, having been forced to return to my earlier opinion. PROLIFE, if I enumerated the personal qualities you have proven here are yours, I would be suspended for a violation of the TOU. Dishonest, crude, and cognitively impaired don't begin to cover the waterfront. If you are living with a wife and a Scottie in a house with a garden, and can use a computer, I concede that you are not living in a sheltered environment. You are fully responsible for your actions and words.
