Yawn. Tell us all: How do you breathe, Bimbo? From the extra oxygen molecules released by the peroxide they used to brainwash you?

If you are bored enough by an intellectual discussion to yawn, why do you think you have anything to contribute, Terrell? And what is it exactly you're trying to say? Do you think Professor Oliver made a mistake? Can you prove Ayn Rand was wrong? (History has already proven her right. Monetarism triumped more than a quarter-century ago.)
Okay. So you define yourself by having been a grunt. How does being conscripted qualify you to pontificate on political economy?
Sunstroke is a terrible thing. Perhaps there is a hole in the ozone layer after all, centered over Central Florida (1).

(1) ) A demonstration for Jenn of how to freshion up tired old sarcasm just enough to put a marginal sheen on it.
LOL. I doubt Terrell will grasp the subtexts you manage to pack into so few words, George. If he did, I would promptly start doubting his secuality. Hard cases who insist on telling one they were in the military aren't supposed to be sensitive!
By the American definition of an intellectual, you've just elected Krueger to the American Academy of Science ... and of Literature, and doesn't McDonald's sponsor an official American Genius of the Week program?
I get tired of the long winded, and pompous BS cross posted to the sci.electronics newsgroups from news:rec.audio.tubes I did a LOT of work with tube equipment in the '60s and '70s, and I don't really care if I ever see another piece of tube audio gear. If you don't want to see comments like mine, don't cross post this useless crap to the electronics newsgroups.
Grunt? Did they do your botched lobotomy with a spork? I was a radio & TV broadcast engineer for AFRTS. There is no secondary MOS on my DD214.
You have no idea why that is in my sig file, yet you have to make your half assed comments about it. It is there, and will REMAIN there to remind an online stalker that his threatening phone calls and rambling emails about how he can't wait for me to die, followed by his pathetic attempts to interfere with my volunteer work for other Disabled Veterans. He tried his best, but it is still going on.
That isn't sarcasm, its sheer idiocy. Anyone who's lived in Florida for 20 years or more KNOWS how to avoid excessive sun exposure. In fact, I have become heat intolerant, along with the other medical problems that turned me from a hard working engineering tech, to a 100% disabled and unemployable Veteran who does volunteer work, the few days a month that I'm able to do anything.
Keep trying. You're not even close to sarcasm. Its more like petty whining. :(

So you live in a "hot place" that you can't tolerate, and use this as an excuse to be a dole bludger? Move someplace "more tolerant" and get a job, you useless prig.
So a couple years pushing paper for the military is an excuse to be a non-contributing member of society?
