[Vision2020] Challenge to Dale Courtney

[Nick Gier]

Greetings:

Before I get to the main point of my post, I just want to say that my 
favorite album is Joni Mitchell's "Ladies of the Canyon"(she got weird in 
her later work), the favorite movie is "Midnight Cowboy," and my favorite 
color is yellow.  According to the Luscher Color Personality Test, that 
means I'm a happy guy.

And one more point: Although Dick Schmidt congratulated me on my accordian 
hunting story, none of you asked why it was that animals so willingly 
appear after an accordian concert.  According to wildlife biologists who 
have studied this phenomenon, they all said that it was because they were 
begging to be shot so they would not have to endure another evening.

OK, Dale, it's good to see that you still among the "lurking living" on 
V2020.  (There are some lurking dead as well!) How do you reconcile your 
libertarianism with your Christianity without radically changing the idea 
of divine power?  I was scrolling through the material that Rose found out 
about Steve Wilkins' choice for president (he's a doosy!) and found a real 
tirade about those libertarians who dare to put self before God. Shame on them.

I'm losing track of the people that owe me answers to the questions I've 
posed on V2020.  Remember how the Socratic dialectic works: you answer or 
you lose.  It is as simple as that.  It's also interesting to note that 
many of Socrates' dialogue partners resorted to name calling and nasty 
comments when they knew they could not answer.
