There you go again, Dickey, with your misquotes, mistrepresentations and outright lies about what I have said.

Do not again attribute to me any statement defining the root cause of poverty as anything other than the lack of resources. I have typed that statement so many times that I will simply copy the last one. Actually, Dickey, I have clearly identified the root cause of poverty. Lack of resources.


The items you listed above, as you very well know, were an answer to a question you asked which was, "What creates the need for resources? How do people get in the position of needing these resources?" Later, after I realized what you were actually asking, I amended my answer and very clearly and carefully explained to you that people need resources in order to stay alive.

Your 10:36 am post, to which I am responding, is simply another way in which you reveal that any concern you actually have related to poverty, and I am not convinced it is an issue you consider of importance at all, is about trying to insure you and the masters for which you are such an ineffective sycophant don't have to give up any portion of your excess wealth, power or other resources.

The value of continuing to 'play' you and to occasionally mess with your pointy little head is that you provide a very simple and easy to discern example (and thus not very effective) of the tricks and deceptive practices used to try to manipulate public opinion, obsfucate issues to conceal your real agenda and lack of values and integrity, use of specious logic and and fallacious arguments, feeble attempts at 'bait and switch'. You illustrate the intentional deceptions through misquotes, misrepresentation and, as you just did regarding my statement on root cause, outright lies. You demonstrate how to dodge responsibility for your words and deeds, and also for the actual intent and meaning of those words and deeds.

I wish there were not a real person behind what you exemplify in your words. But there is. There is you. I do not pretend to know any other aspect of who you are than what you reveal of yourself, intentionally or not, on this thread. I do not want to believe that there exists a real person who so clearly embodies the stereotype of Bobert's "Boss Hogg" and his sycophants, even if that is only one piece of who that person is.

In terms of the psychological make up of such a person, there is little difference between the values and morals of "Boss Hogg" and a gun-welding gang member. The gang member is at least honest about who and what he is. He will readily acknowledge his antisocialness, his greed, his total disregard for anyone who is not one of his gang. And it is possible to have some empathy for the gang member. It is possible to imagine how the conditions of his life and environment made him into what he is. That doesn't mean he is not accountable, but it does make empathy possible.

What you represent is as big a menace to the health, safety and welfare of our neighborhoods and communities as is the gang.

This is indeed a personal attack on you, but also on all those of whom you are representive. You have blood on your hands, Dickey. But before you wielded the knife that sliced through the muscle, sinew and bone of the back you stabbed it in, you were careful and deliberate to create a lens, a filter of psychological defenses, and incomplete and inconsistent bits of information, ideas and justifications, through which blood is not visible, and through which who and what you are is also not visible to yourself. then you grafted that lens to your eyes in such a way that you don't ever have to be concerned that they will come off. So you will never have to see the blood, death, suffering and destruction that you wreak on the people and the earth. You are incorrigible and absolutely corrupt, but so well protected from yourself that you will never, ever have to know it. You'll just have to rot in hell.

I am surprised at myself for saying these things, but I mean every word.
