"All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed,
second it is violently opposed, &
third, it is accepted as self-evident."
- Arthur Schopenhauer, Philosopher, 1788-1860
You're rattling cages & baiting.
While:
I suppose It's okay to try to de-construct what an establishment claims
as inviolate truth.
The internet is full of such off-the-wall fodder.
Our terrific
vehicle of anonymity allows anybody to post anything.
The legalities & customs here in 2006 are in their infancy.
The newspaper of a few generation ago were often sleazey tabloid
cockomanie
medicine-peddling sheets.
C'est la vie.
C'est la morte
C'est la absurdite
There is thus a sort of absurdist-reductive
Gresham law or phenomenon of the internet.
Good-faith postings (all of mine, of course)
are seemingly being
diminished by horse-appleries.
So, a
faint-praise by damnation
cliche is: "I read it on the interenet."
Given the above caveat qualifier:
Osama acknowledges 9-11 as
his handiwork on widely circulated AL JAZEERA TV
& internet
video & audio more than once.
He does not disclaim/de-claim 9-11.
Those that continue to debunk
his fully claimed
masterpiece of infamy:
Are merely
playing with history--and there are certainly rightful places for
semi-terrific mockingnesses.
The degrees of
credibility & credence of the internet are
(should be) understood on the basis of its democratic wide-open medium,
&
satire is as young as classical
Greece, isn't it?
Analogy to illustrate what I'm trying to put forth:
THE PROTOCOLS OF THE ELDERS OF ZION is thought to have originally been
a French author's satire: A 19th century semi-cloisterd monk playing
with himself.
The Czar's helpers allegedly revise it
for obvious purposes.
Henry Ford
cranked it out like so many P Models in the DEARBORN INDEPENDENT.
H luved it so much that he almost won WW II utilizing it as a major
part of
his rationale/rationalism--as I pointed-out to alt. philosophy a few
months ago with little to
no support from the philosophy
n.g. ,
because they just could not
bring themselves to openly acknowledge that folks were reasoned with
by the demagogic method.
To conclusde another long note:
THANKS to the Pentagon and Al Gore, you're allowed to play the schnook
role, and I'm allowed to obsess with my posting compulsions such as
taking your bait about exculpating bin Laden.

Yes I grant you that. Been awhile since Ive been on this machine or I
woulda answered to this earlier. Did I lie?? Is he wanted for the
bombing??I thought it was carved in stone too. But what was the deal
with Iraq? And now it seems Israel is about to have a calf for us to
beat up Iran for them. And we aint got the resources. If we are gonna
give the Jooze 6Billion a year....Look at FBI most wanted tho. Godknows
you shouldnt take my word for nothing. If they had any proof at all,
they would charge him. Why do you just suck up all the drivel that AIles
and Murdoch pump out. I predicted that JonBenet thing was a hoax too. As
well as the London liquid bombs. Look its unsettling to me, to be RIGHT
all the time. I always hoped that the world was run by people who were
at least smarter than me. Now Im startin' to wonder if they are smarter
than my Pizza Delievry Driver. At least he knows what he's doing.

To sort of support/reinforce
your cynical, warped, semi-preposterous
pov, see a recent Mike Luckovich political cartoon, which I'll try to
link here.
Luckovich can be so biting & humorous simultaneously that NEWSWEEK will
probably also re-publish the cartoon I recall.
So far as the Jooze:
Well, some of my best friends are drinkers, but I wouldn't want my
daughter to ...

Damneit, I can't find the particular cartoon, and so the one I was
thinking of may not be a Luckovich work afterall. Maybe a Mike
Peters...name your favorites.
Hey, when ya get this oldddd, bad memory & shite happen.
