Is there some point to this? Or are you just going on with your Dubya
act? Does what you wrote somehow make you feel superior?
Self-reighteous? Why would you think i would have to look up such
trival words? Would *you* have to?

But apparently you do too. That was my point!

i thought the Dubya analogy worked pretty well. Arrogant, lacking
ability to see past his own criminal nose. i still stand by it.
>I'm no more significant to the RIAA or the rest of the world than he is.

i've pondered insignificance--my own individual insignificance,
humankind's insignificance, and even the insignificance of the whole
of reality as i know it--enough to realize that *everything* i know
could be wrong. Therefore, i don't come out with my insults afire when
someone sees things from another point of view. Apparantly, you are
threatened by his alternative viewpoint, or, contrary to your above
words, think that your opinion is actually *quite* significant, and is
enough to warrant cutting him down with unbased insults.
>At least I do have some opinions and they are based on some sort of
>knowledge and thought, though. That a problem for you, Chris?
No, it's not a problem for me for you to have opinions. It's just your
heavy-handed, holier-than-thou, insulting demeanor. It's like trying
to argue with Rush Limbaugh.
