Emile, I noticed that they have appropriated for themselves William Harmon's research on the news media. Dude, if you call that research, you need a new dictionary. Badly. It was, however, refreshing to find that the Vanguard pagans do not share your ignorance and cowardice on political and historical issues. I'm SO glad the people that pay me large sums of money for my opinions on political and historical issues aren't aware of my ignorance. What would I do for a living if they were? Maybe you ought to apply to replace me, though I rather doubt that your credentials would cut the mustard. A bit of literacy training might be in order. I quoted Mencken. Mencken studied Nietzsche, among many others. Hitler studied Nietsche. Does that make me, or Mencken, a Nazi? Your pathetic attempt at sequential thought results in what is called a faulty syllogism, though it might as well be described as a piece of delirious buffoonery. You really ought to stop trying to think, and stick to quoting scripture. If you quote Harmon, and so does the National Vanguard, does that make you a member of the National Vanguard? Well, perhaps you are... what portion of their political and historical derangement did you find brave and knowledgeable? I actually appreciate Mencken more for the style with which he expressed his thoughts than for the content of his thoughts. He said much that I agree with and much that I do not, but he said it all so beautifully that I will happily read just about anything he wrote, as I will Shaw, Wilde, and many others. I find Nietzsche very nearly as tedious as I find Kant and Hegel, though I once forced myself to plough through them all, for some long-forgotten reason. Now I read mainly history, and do my own thinking. It is so beautiful the way the devils children expose themselves. Well, we agree on something. You exposed yourself a long time ago. Mencken once said of Mozart that "he sweated beauty as naturally as a Christian sweats hate". He must have had you in mind. Steve
