Subject: RE: BS: How do you Convince a Moron...
Thanks Jimmyt, tho I only said what you've said all along, in my own imitable way.

I didn't mean to assume what was being looked for in the way of short and convincing arguments, but this repetitive admonishment isn't a bad idea, since it's very easy to get frustrated with people you disagree strongly with. Well, I tried.

Peg it's lovely that you used to be an exotic dancer--many people get stuck at that, meaning to move on to something else, but not getting around to it. My sister wanted to, and it would've helped at the time, but she was a little scared she might lose the momentum to do other things, because of the money.

I think of myself as a red-blooded American male, but I still shave everywhere just to stay busy.

   The lesbians in movies are fake lesbians. Why don't we let people tell us what's sexy and beautiful? Customers--people are such customers. It's not so offensive to be perfectly conventional in one's tastes and opinions, it's just obvious, and not very noteworthy. Nothing terribly wrong with it, but why expect anyone to find it of any interest? For weird people I suppose it's a fun project to be "normal" but for normal people there's little interest in the exercise. They aready have the Encyclopedia Of Received Ideas gathering dust on the bookshelf.
