If all you want to do is have someone make you money, you should give that $50,000 to KW. I understand he has done quite well. I'm serious.

It wasn't difficult. What should be unbelievable but is not, is that all of Ah's points were in just in one of his posting #22321. It is not unbelievable because most of us are used to it. You could pick about any of Ah's posts and find plenty of his points to add to the list.

Some of his gems that I listed as a single point were actually several points as in;

<... FED officials like government officials can't trust people. They know people are inferior and need to be handled like cattle. The result of this attitude is the people act like cattle. >

1. <FED officials like government officials can't trust people.>

2 <They know people are inferior>

3. (people) <need to be handled like cattle.>

4. <The result of this attitude is the people act like cattle.>

Any of these sub points could be debated separately. This is why it is very difficult to debate with Ah. He overwhelms his readers with so many of these Controversial points. IMO, an open minded person should not take these points at face value.

Ah also intoxicates many of his readers with his powerful vocabulary. Many people do not challenge him because of this.

Speaking of vocabulary, I had to look up "sophist" in the dictionary today. Lo and behold, I saw Ah's face for the first time. <g> To help others who share my limited vocabulary, I have posted the definition. Sorry, according to SI rules I could not copy Ah's photo for you. (of course, you have already seen him).
