No, let's not. You continuously use analogies that collapse at the first comparison to actuality and then wonder why others don't get the point. Anyone who walks in to the Mudcat asking for a clean fork -- let' s say the equivalent to that in our space is a request for lyrics -- gets it in three minutes or three days for the tough ones, as a friendly contribution by someone who likes to help. Might be you or me or Sorcha or anyone.

Now, first all I do not live in the Cat. Second of all I know the difference between List Moms (as they are known elsewhere) and police and it is scurrilous to collapse that distinction. Third of all I know the general boundaries of what the List Moms here will do and will not do, and believe there is good reason for having them do those things. Fourthly I think I know what the common grounds of community well being are that will require action. I have learned all this by attending secret meetings of the Inner Clique simply observing what actually happens.

Roger, there is a point where the virtue of persistence becomes the pathological patern of perseverance.

Goodnight, pal. Sleep peacefully.
