promoting McCarthy, who in turn is promoting bozo?
I am not going to say Greenwald is a shit. But I have to say I lost respect with him over Assange. I am sort of contempteous of self appointed journalists, and did not think Assange really qualified as such. I took Assange for a shity troll, and Greenwald, by extension, was rolling around in the shit, with shit.
But who is a shit really isn't my point here. Neither is the Old White Lady. Speaking for myself. I have a very strict moral code, and as a result I am hard to persuade with argument. And becoming a lawyer made it that much harder to make a point to me with only argument. My pet peeve of . . . if not late, at least constantly lately, is the cult of argument.
Fuck argument! Fuck anything that is supposed to persuade me about shit that is just fucking someone's opinion. I don't like people much, as a default. So just based on that (never mind having been a lawyer for over thirty years,) I do not give a fuck what people think.
The Old White Lady is a retired law professor. I am happy to say I grade much harder than she does!
So am I really concerned who's idiotic opinion, about another idiotic opinion, about yet another idiot the Old White Lady is promoting? Hell naw! I am just at the meta level surprised that a lawyer who has 10 years on me is that easilly impressed by argument, opinion.
