To: Rarebird who wrote (57667 ) 8/28/2000 8:17:24 PM From: d:oug Respond to of 116766 Rarebird, Might your conclusion from receiving a Ph.D. in Philosophy that all other humans without the insights your have obtained from your extensive studies in the source and nature of knowledge are but wandering aimlessly on this planet Earth completely unaware that the thoughts they create have originated from a thought process without a proper foundation, like you have. Seems so, as rather than forward the thoughts that reflect what you perceive yourself as, that you do a Bon Beece cut & paste from those many books used in your studies of those current and past thinkers that have been reconized correctly or not as having insight into the matters of life. For example, your "Reality appears in many guises." "Being is revealed in many ways." as thoughts of wisdom, given by you to others, if you required payment for, to represent worth as in a barter, then i guess the US Mint would have to create a new coin 1/100 of a penny, as they are not worth one cents for both. Guess one could say "Your sense is not worth one cents." But "hay for horses" and "hey its raining", lets me not put out my words to discribe you, let i use your words in the context you used them, to describe you. a.k.a. RareBird on RareBird. Message # 57667 From Rarebird Aug 28, 2000 To ***** "What makes you think you are any better than what you accuse the person in question of?" ok? Now if Rarebird's declaration to others on how they should conduct life is the same as his a.k.a. applies to himself then... Ooooops look what RareBird layed onto himself. To: Doug A K From: Rarebird Monday, August 28, 2000 As usual, the GATA Parrot[DougAK] is there with his one dimensional, narrow minded, politically correct, bigoted point of view....[end.] Dictionary aTime bigot = intolerant person...religion, race, politics... As i disclosed many times, i have no religion and only live life in the context of Good versus Evil and accept that what is after life is unknowned and can include anything, even that teached by religions. As for politics, yes there are good folks there but the system is corrupted and any good person who wishes to serve in politics has to compromise with an evil structure, and as Ayn Rand teaches it will corrupt you in doing so. Unacknowledge by Ayn Rand was that living in a corrupted society one has but no choice but to compromise with it, as she was not able to live in that secret hidden place where her characters went to, to escape. As for the race card, during my boot camp and training and then Vietnam, i was the only "white" person that moved freely between the race groups that gathered together in seperate groups, of whites, blacks and many of Mexico heritage because i enlisted at the Oakland, Calif point and entered at San Diego, Calif for boot camp. Many times i would leave the "whites" and visit with Mexicans and listen to their stories of their history, and then visit the African Americans and listen and marvel to their ability to sing gospel songs as if all were professional singers. Once returning to my group of "whites" i would always be asked "How are you able to do that?" and i would reply as an answer a question of "How are you not able to do that?" Bottom Line Neither i or RareBird fit the follows words of Rarebird. <<...his one dimensional, narrow minded, politically correct, bigoted point of view...>> doug
