pan, pan, pan: it really was not my intention to offend. ah well.
we have no power. we are not solving anything here. we have no access to policymakers, we have no access to anything. this is a debate forum on a messageboard. i dont know why you prefer to imagine this as a kind of committee that gets together to actually solve problems in the world. it isn't.
further, this is not the same as interpersonal relations in 3-d life.
the parameters are totally different.
think about it.
do you feel like you know roachboy?
do you feel like you know me, the person behind roachboy?
you dont know me. at all.
you might know roachboy: but he repeats himself because this space repeats itself.
the main thing the two of us--roachboy and i--have in common is a growing boredom with this---tempered to some extent with a vague hope that things might start moving again--but boredom nonetheless.
so there we are.
