Yeah, there's never been a report of rabies in anything in New
England,
huh? Only in Paris. One case, one time. I suppose that will be the
reason to not broaden your horizons, huh?

In 1516, Ludovico Ariosto wrote a sequel to Matteo Maria Boiardo's
"Orlando Innamorato" titled "Orlando Furioso".

While not exactly a sequel in the sense that it followed the classic
theme of "knight errant" (the concept of courtly love and chivalry) as
the seminal work did, it uses certain concepts from the Roland/Orlando
mythic construct to provide a backdrop for the basic knight in love
plot line.

One of the main tenants of the "Orlando Furioso" is the "Culture of
Contradiction" and is directly applicable to today's social
environments - many allegories and metaphors demonstrate the fallacy
of human senses and judgment in particular with respect to how it the
theme relates to human interaction.

One of the more interesting passages in "Orlando Furioso" deals with
the character Astolpho who is basically a Beowulf clone both in theme
and particulars. In this particular passage, Astolpho travels to the
Moon and finds it to be a treasure house of everything wasted on Earth
- misspent time, ill-spent wealth, broken promises, failed quests
hopeless ambitions and Wasted Lives kept in vases lining the craters.

The latter, Wasted Lives, and the original theme of Cultural
Contradiction are apropos here because being a Creature of
Contradiction, you consistently attempt to prove the superiority of
your view even when faced with evidence to the contrary.

In short, one of those Wasted lives in a crater on the Moon has the
name Basskisser on it.

And being a Creature of Contradiction, you don't even realize it.

There's no need to be fickle and childish. Just because I've stated you
are narrow minded in regards to other countries (and you are). I have a
happy and fullfilling life.

From the constant negative crap you type here one would have to doubt
that
Kevin.


I'm not Kevin.


You know nothing about my life, but dare to
make wild allegations about it. You're turning into JimH. Next I
suppose you'll be accusing me of beating my wife and kids, growing,
smoking, selling pot, all without any evidence of such, just like Jim.


How was your marijuana crop this year Kevin? Did you save any for the
family?


I'm not Kevin. But, you are a childish low life asshole. How damned low
can you go Jim? You've proven to the group that you are such a low life
that when you can't think of anything decent to say, you'll start
spreading lies about them without any shred of evidence, then you show
that you'll go even LOWER and drag someone's family into the fray. What
a sorry human being you are. Someone that would say untrue and negative
things constantly about one's family is just slime. What a pig you are.


So you smoked it all yourself Kevin?

I'm not Kevin

Jim, I'll make this very easy, even for a low life pig like you. Please
show any and all evidence that you have that I have EVER smoked pot.
While you are at it, please show the group what evidence you have that
I have ever beat my wife, beat my kids, sell pot, smoke pot, grow pot.
Do you have any? Put up, or shut up. Damn, Jim, just when I thought you
couldn't possibly go any lower and be any less of man, you prove me
wrong. What a pig.
