Bob#'s is a classic example

#1 Post by Spock » Tue Jun 30, 2020 7:58 pm

of someone who views life completely through an extreme partisan, political lens and he can't imagine people who don't.

Bob#'s>>>"Sounds to me like he just threatened armed rebellion if his preferred side gets blown out in November. --Bob"<<<<

Obviously, I will vote for Trump and I am hoping and praying for his victory.

But the path we are on is independent of Trump's victory or defeat. In my view, we are obviously 2 countries now and it can only end badly.

Bob, your assignment is to write an essay convincing people that we are still one country.

As part of your homework, I would like you to visit a gun store and shooting range and explain how those people are part of your vision for America.

If you want to assign me homework, you need to pay my hourly rate (I think the firm is currently billing me at $640 per hour), and I'll need a $25,000 retainer as an advance. --Bob

Another part of the assignment is how do the Mormons fit into your vision for America? Pay special attention to their recent decision to form their own version of the Boy Scouts.

Boy, for someone whose time is worth $640 an hour-you sure spend a lot of time doing political commentary on an obscure message board.

It doesn't take that much of my time. And at that rate, I don't have to get that many billable hours in to earn my keep and then some. --Bob

Good, that means that you have time to work on your project.

Let's break it down into pieces and start with a simple question.

1) In your vision for America, are you willing to leave the newly formed Mormon Boy Scouts alone to do their thing as that organization chooses to do?
