C'punks, Coming up with the "canarypunks" concept, has really clarified my thinking. I'm taking the pledge and will no longer strive to protect the dumbest and most aggressively ignorant members of this list (the Three Stooges) from the error or their ways. I finally got it through my head that they don't WANT to deal with the truth, but are incapable of reaching beyond their own self-referential worldview. As Friedrich von Schiller put it, "Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain." So, I'm going to do something far crueler than point out the inadequacies of the Three Stooges: I'm going to ignore those inadequacies and let reality provide the lesson. The folks on this list who are smart enough to understand that the "lawyerpunks" are on their side, will listen to their take on the law. The folks who think the lawyers are out to get them will go to the Three Stooges for legal advice. Reality will choose the winners and losers. Very Darwinian. S a n d y
