Messangers smessengers.

How dare they come here to my street and disrespect my car! or my houseguests this is SPARTA!!!!!! (If only there was a pothhole deap enough that I could kick that bitch into)

You guys are completely right to dismiss this guy based on his vocation point of view and his call to action media and political messages.

However unlike most of his kind, his motivations, and funding are unapologeticaly hangging out there, like a pair of hairy boys for all to judge.... of course theres no point to his media message at all. How could there be?

I don't dismiss him based on vocation, I dismiss him based on promotion of rhetoric. He's an attention whore that doesn't deserve attention (hence the whore part).

So are sexual whores only whores if they don't deserve sex?

I guess if you use my fuzzy logic, that would be the case.

He too was a major asshole.

Sometimes as asshole is just an asshole.

I'll readily admit that some of this thread is flying right over my head (Aristotle? Jim Jackman?) but as usual I don't care enough about a Daily Grind thread to actually look things up.

I'd guarantee you my immortal soul if you can bring me a person employed as a <erk> lobbyist who does not give "gifts" to representatives.

Any "gift", no matter how small or incidental, completely negates the concept of equal representation for all, no matter how the rep ends up voting. This is my solid stance on the profession.

If lobbying actually was "just talking", I'd have no problem with it.

Yet again, I have no idea if you're completely joking or half-serious or WTF. It would be nice if I did.

You guys are completely right to dismiss this guy based on his vocation point of view and his call to action media and political messages.

It would also be nice if you actually replied to my assertions instead of simply restating things in a sarcastic manner. Please reread my previous post and respond to the concepts therein if you wish to discuss it.

Me too....not just this thread either. All of the Daily Grind has been flying over my head for the last couple of days
