(6,896 posts)Just in case you are suggesting I would play with socks, allow me to state for the record-
I dont do lying. After finding out long ago that I am a terrible liar, and learning about Deceit and
Self Deception, I just cant go that way, intentionally, and hopefully not too often accidentally.
I can be wrong, mistaken and confused, but I cant be bothered with intentional dishonesty,
and I wouldnt expect anyone else to appreciate deception in the place of real information.
This may be reflected by my historical interest in propaganda and media mendacity, a problem that truly exists,
and has for some time.
These are subjects that gather little attention in these times of post-accountability, and understandably.
I am living in the past, to a certain degree, not bending well to the winds and tides of media mind wash.
It took me a long time to understand what was happening when people disrupted political discussion boards,
my inherent belief system could not easily understand their motives, particularly as the results seemed so counter to
stated concerns.
I think I have a handle on why and how these things occurred.
Perhaps that is a reason I allow myself to slop my punctuation and grammar.
My writing is pretty distinctive and I leave it that way to assure myself
that if anyone attempts to (whats the word?) post as me,
theyll be spotted as they were the one time it happened, so long ago.
and whatever I have to say, I dont need to prop it up with phony ID's.
I'll leave that to the military and whatever subcontracted individuals to do.
On the other hand, if you are really concerned about my laundry.
damn straight. These socks are pretty rank.
