grusum quoting from Solon: "Trump is committed to education." Solon reply: "I said none of that or what is to follow." how is anyone supposed to know that when you don't attribute anything you posted as coming from anyone else? there was no indication you were copying and pasting. I posted a summary from a pro-trump site because I do two things: I post from others and I post my own EXACT opinions in my words when I have time. We all do that. i don't. copying and pasting is being lazy when answering an argument. especially when you give no attribution. what you're doing is poor form. i don't want to argue with articles. i'm writing to you, so please do me the same courtesy and answer me personally. that way, we both own what we write. I was responding in a hurry to Brumar's pop-gun assassinations that were weak and feckless. please take the time to write your own answers so we can see the intelligence behind them. He clearly has an agenda that is not closely involved with seeking truth. he may have an agenda, but even if he does, it doesn't mean that what he claimed isn't true. I have NEVER entirely agreed with a site I have posted. if you don't agree entirely with the content of a post, you shouldn't post it. it sounds like you're running away from your own post. But when I post strictly my own words I will defend every single word--even WHEN I CHANGE MY OPINION. first, why would you ever defend something you've said after you've changed your mind on it? why not just admit you were wrong instead? second, you're emphasizing why it's important to put things in your own words and own them. True--except that Trump does not give those details and he has told us why. He wrote "The Art of the Deal". That is who he is. I know it is a bit of a catch-22. But if you reduce him to the transparency of the others then he will be just as useless as a President. so you'd rather be BSed?! you don't want transparency, you want opaqueness? you want to be blind? defenseless?? you'll trust when there's no reason to trust? really, that's how people get killed. and that's no exaggeration. i can't believe that you actually don't want to know the details of any of his plans. and you don't have to worry about his transparency as president yet because he's still only a candidate. You can't give all your ammunition to the opposition (I didn't say the enemy!)--if you hope to have any leverage. there's no ammunition for the other side, if the argument is backed by sound reasoning. Notice that Cruz is not suing NE like a normal person would. for various reasons, innocent people don't always sue. plus, he hasn't said he wouldn't. If he does it will take a lot of bribery and uncertainty. that's an unwarranted assumption.
