The Logic Off Topic list

Thoughts from the mind of Kool Musick, 9/25/01:

>The poster who originally set off these various threads was not in the
>least interested in learning anything.
>By his own admission, he posted simply and in order to be confrontational.

?

>By his own admission, the poster also posted because he was 'annoyed' with
>the policies that he saw being currently enacted in certain areas of the
>world. The poster did not post asking what constructive he could do to get
>such policies altered ... but simply in order to register his displeasure
>with them.

?

That person seems to have admitted quite a few things that I've never 
read anywhere.  And for some odd reason, I get the creepy feeling 
that 'that person' is me.

>If that person is so concerned then they have do avenues available to them.

Maybe that person has not much faith in politics as a means to helps 
us towards enlightenment.  Or maybe that person feels that there's 
still, despite politics, something like personal responsibility. 
Meaning: having to say what you think you have to say, if you think 
it can in anyway contribute to the 'awakening' of mankind -- even if 
mankind in this case is just a 300/400 people group.

>But ... this is a list to learn from.

Maybe, just maybe, this entire discussion teaches all or some of us a 
lesson about how different various viewpoints can be.  And that there 
are other viewpoints than your own which might be at least equally 
valid.

So, yes, this is a list to learn from.


Have a nice day,
HJ
