A comment by the dissident frogman on Pop Goes the Karma ♠ C'est l'Karma Que V'la

<<[And the pot said to the kettle; you're black. For all we know you could be a sociology graduate on the public dole. ] And that's precisely the main difference between you and me: I'm not trying to impress my audience or legitimize my position based on blunt assertions with whatever status a job, title or rank would confer me. Unlike you, reportedly "Officer in the Army hence-I know-better-than-you". What if I told you "I'm Allah, hence I speak the truth"? Or for that matter, "I am indeed General Sanchez, therefore I know a lot more about the current situation in Iraq than you, no matter if you served in Bosnia or not?" No, no, no Officer Dan, I'll use no prestigious titles, no "Dr. Dissident", not "Master Frogman", no "the dissident frogman PhD", no "I-am-qualified-to-think-what-I-think-because-I-graduated-here-and-there." All you'll have to deal with is my personal opinion, raw and uncut, clear from any social influence and expressed as limpidly as I can. All you have to confront - and all you repeatedly chose to avoid - are my thoughts. The very fact that you don't know if these are coming out of a stableboy's mind or a Doctor in Sociology's brain shall precisely set both of us free from the aforementioned social pressure. Now that's fair competition isn't it? Yet you've been doing nothing but skipping across the surface of the argument like a flung stone. 1, 2 and now 3 in ever shortening leaps, with less to answer each time, falling back gradually on the most trivial points. Do you really believe, therefore, that I'm going to take any advice from somebody like you? Sorry Officer, I guess I'll go back to the stable, I have work to do and taxes to pay. Having said that, I'm glad to see that the "brisk business between the US and your largest trading partner "“ Canada" as well as "the care you have to take of all your clients" still gave the opportunity to a "free market capitalist" who "appreciate free trade" and "hate wasting his time", such as yourself, to come back in these humble pages for a third time, and delight our lost souls with pearls of wisdom such as "And the pot said to the kettle; you're black." Thank you for sacrificing your valuable time, proving us that the Evil Filthy Capitalists do have a heart deep under their big wallets. General Frogman P.S.: Officer Dan, if you'd been anything else but a passerby in this place, you would know what I am doing to pay my taxes. Now let's see if the Great North Capitalist Frenzy will leave you idle enough to come back for a 4th turn.
