If this elegant evasion is aimed at me I say this in reply:
1) If it's sarcasm because you think I'm scurrying towards Mother Church,
you are wrong in a big way (I trust you - along with others here - are
working out your issues with having been potty trained in the shadow of the
the steeple and projecting them on everyone else. Get rid of the old moral
absolutes and get yerself a loada new ones, bakery fresh from Berkeley! SEND

FIVE, SIX SEVEN. WHAT ARE WE FIGHTING FOR? DON'T ASK ME I DON'T GIVE A DAMN,
NEXT STOP IS VIETNAM)) 'yer damned lucky to own a record player' says Martha
Bridegam laconically in a Humphrey Bogart accent. WHY PUT UP WITH THE OLD
MORAL ORDER (I think banks are organised crime too, 'then why in the name of
tarnation are you getting all bejessused about...') WHEN YOU CAN HAVE NEW
MORAL ORDER 'thanks I'll have 30 oz (approx uncooked weight) slab of
Foucualt and a nice side dish of SHALL WE GATHER AT THE RIVER THE BEAUTIFUL
'Well quite and since you cannot prove anything objectively (except racism
and gender disparities in the private sector) it makes sense that snobbery
is a worse crime than burglary and under our new plans to recognise burglars
as the small, DISCRIMINATED AGAINST businessmen that they really are we
expect a 78 per cent drop in crime and so much more money could be spent on
wheelchair access for state heroin addicts and a new squadron of Imams at
Berkely. AND TALKING OF ISLAM, SICK OF THAT OLD BIGOTRY ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY
AND RACE FOLKS? THEN SIGN UP TODAY FOR NEW IMPROVED SOCIAL DEMOCRACY (C) (P)

BE CLASS A DRUGS WITH, FOLKS? THEN TELL YOUR MOM AND POP ABOUT NEW SOCIAL
DEMOCRACY! 'hey,' says someone, 'haven't you been a benficiary of the
welfare system? And can't you see that if you criticise socialism then you
must be saying that there be no welfare, kind of like the 'if you hate bush
you love Bin laden' argument that we grown up lefties cannot abide' MAYBE
YOU'RE WATCHING THIS FROM PRISON? HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THE VOTE, BOYS? IF YOU
WOULD AND WOULD LIKE THE PRIVILEGE OF STANDING FOR OFFICE ('no worse than
the crook we've got now,' says Joe laconically) THEN SIMPLY RING THIS NUMBER
NOW AND SOCIAL DEMOCRACY WILL BE DESPATCHED WITH 28 DAYS!
2) People on this newsgroup have always been good as self-righteously
telling others that they are speaking bollocks but always seem to find it
too infra dig to refute those arguments.
3)If you can't be rude on the net, then you risk a newsgroup that runs on
elegant evasions.
