<DIV>Your comment to those that took issue with boxing was (again):</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>"With all this in mind, what place is
it of yours to piss on someone else's parade?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>How else were they (Keely, Ellen, et al) possibly
</FONT><FONT face=Verdana size=3>depriving of or spoiling the boxer's and
spectator's pleasure except by commenting? Unless I missed something,
there were no threats to bomb the arena or anything of that nature. I did
not read any proposal to interfere or to outlaw the activities
issue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They only made comment. That is the only way that they could be
construed of possibly depriving of or spoiling the boxers' and
spectators' pleasure from their posts. So when you ask <FONT
face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff size=2>"what place is it of yours to piss on
someone else's parade?" <FONT face=Verdana color=#000000 size=3>you are
questioning <STRONG>their right</STRONG> ["place"] to make comment -- like they
need a right granted by you to express their opinion to avoid mucking with
someone's pleasure.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff size=2><FONT face=Verdana
color=#000000 size=3>How totally unlibertarian, but really totalitarian.
How foolish to think that others cannot see through such a simple ruse you now
smokescreen to save face and quickly reposition your mask of intolerance from
its unconscious slip.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Even further from reality, do you think in actual fact that the remarks or
Keely, Ellen, et al would really have any effect on those whom they were
discussing? Of depriving them of or spoiling their pleasure? Get
real.
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff size=2><FONT face=Verdana
color=#000000 size=3></FONT></FONT></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Let's face it. You do wish to restrict the topics others choose to
discuss and the views they choose to express. You're just not man enough
to admit it when you are caught. If you really want to understand the
principles of modern libertarianism, perhaps you could go to the origins by
trying to read Hobbes, Hume, and Mill.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Actually Wayne, I'm fairly sure that what I was
referring to was the silly notion that boys should be forbidden in
some way from engaging in the combative arts not the discussion of its merits.
For the record the phrase "piss on my parade (a corruption of rain on my parade)
is widely held to mean don't deprive me/them of my/their pleasure. To somehow
imagine that it in some way is a call for the elimination of freedom of
expression is ludicrous even by the standard you have set in your previous
posts. P</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>lease feel free to think what you want
however and if I cause you and/or your friends to "shudder" all I can say is
hooray for little old me. Having what few wits you have left tied up in your
eternal quest to ferret out all the ills of the world and attribute them to the
Doug's and the Dale's of the area is making your posts more than a little
tedious. oh well, carry on if you must.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Ellen,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>An interesting aspect of Crabtree's post is his not even cleverly
disguised hypocrisy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is room to debate whether boxing may have some beneficial results
and to debate whether the probabilities of the risks involved justify the
probabilities of the possible beneficial consequences of various
kinds. There is room to debate whether some of the harmful consequences
are really harmful.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is no doubt that Crabtree or anyone else is free to argue for, with
validity or not, their views on this subject. However, Crabtree goes
further than just debate the effects of boxing issue. He
admonishes:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>"With all this in mind, what place
is it of yours to piss on someone else's parade?"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Here we have the Great Libertarian Crabtree telling others they should
not express their opinions ["piss"] on this issue.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>What a transparent phony!</STRONG> <STRONG>Whatever
happened to the most fundamental of libertarian doctrines: Freedom
of Expression?</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So it's alright for Crabtree, Farris, and their mentor Wilson via
Courtney to piss all over others [like the rest of us sometimes do], but not
alright for others to piss on their cherished pets. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have said this before: I know and have known many hard-line
libertarians. The number of local libertarians who are in reality
dishonest hypocrites really contaminates the worth of some of the important
contributions honest, genuine libertarians can make to many issues.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are some very thoughtful libertarians who post here and with whom I
sometimes communicate with off list. I can imagine how they must shudder
when the phony libertarian Crabtree makes utterances such as that cited above
and how they must hate to have their thoughtful views associated with
such pretentious ilk.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>But</STRONG> Crabtree did contribute one piece if useful
knowledge: Some have wondered if Cultmaster Jr. Nathan Wilson had
possibly suffered one or more serious head injuries. Maybe the
boxing incident is evidence to further fuel this speculation.</DIV>
