trust me, ustwo, you are not smart enough to dash off little quips and pass them off as constructive.
no-one is.

but i understand from your post above that it must be frustrating for you in your guise as moses descending from reactionary mountain with the day's tablet of talking points to encounter a population that actually wants you to argue for your positions rather than accept them as the mystical insights you no doubt understand them to be.

and if you are jamming your role as prophet into an already busy schedule, i can see how this would get on your nerves. it must be exasperating to feel as dame edna does, that you give and give and give.

but if you really are delivering messages that would help us lesser beings up from the mire in which you imagine us to be trapped--far far from the elysian fields you obviously occupy----then maybe you owe it to the mystic source of your Science to actually make arguments for us, the unwashed...

unless you take us, the unwashed, a little seriously, what is the point of descending from reactionary mountain with the tablets--why not just stay up there and commune with the source of rightwing truth and wisdom, in a space where facile little quips can be understood as the multifaceted jewels of argumentative technique that you no doubt confuse them with and no-one is bothered by the occasional slide into "kill them all and let god sort them out" type pronouncements? that lovely place where everyone agrees with you and nothing ever has to be spelled out.
