Subject: RE: BS: Wheels Fallin' Off Straight Talk Express
I once saw a video of an elephant tender with broom and pail who unfortunatly was sweeping up behind an elephant when the elephant backed up suddenly.
The man's head got stuck in the elephants anus and was extracted only with help from another tender.

The unfortunate tender would certainly have a unique description of the elephant which is far different from an old friend of the elephant who could see in the elephant's eyes a loving recognition and respect.

We all have our points of view. Some from above, in front or from behind and inside.

Sometimes a person will retreat into saying that "it is my opinion" but that will not mean that the opinion is true or false, sacrosanct or base, meaningful or nonsense.

Albert would back me up when I say it depends upon the relative point of view of the observer.

Opinions are not sacred or inately honorable in any regard but intentional misrepresentations defile the speaker and the audience.

My condolences go out to you if you were an unfortunate tender. My ire goes out to those who would intentionally lie and distort their description of the elephant in the room.

Amos takes a pov that he supports with facts and figures while I have a pov of a socialogic overview.
I see another pov at work here which only seems to use the oldest propoganda trick of an accuser accusing individual A of actions of which individual B is actually most guilty.
