Wow, no answers to my question.. I will inform you. You see, I have a brother and a sister, who both have IQs over 150. Me on them hand has an IQ of 94. One thing they lack,even though they are smarter than I, is...... wait for it...... common sense.

I could use that. I see him as a Native American baker who gives bread to the poor. They then develop the strength and resolve to throw off the shackles society has placed on them. Working together, they build an EMP device that destroys all electronics, thus rendering the rich poor.
Being master poor people they then take over, as the computer dependent masses have no clue how to survive. Risingeagle then teaches them how to make bread and he is seen as a hero all over again.

But he would have to change his name to "risingdough." How do you propose to circumvent the decidedly Paleface appellation?

My literary guide has a companion publication: The Non-Mensa Member's Guide to Correct Capitalization and Punctuation," I might offer you a deal on it. Help yourself.

No answers on my question. I will answer. My brother and sister have IQs, over 150, while I only have an IQ of 94. The one thing I have, that they lack, is common sense.

A truly altruistic member of MENSA would just give it away, at the Barnes and Noble charity bazaar. I believe it is called "Barnes and Noblesse Oblige."

I am not sure to whom you are questioning their nobility, that of my mentor or of the poster. If of the poster, then if he/she is indeed from the status of wealth, then I would agree that they should give their book to those who wants a copy. BTW, I had to look up the Noblesse Oblige. Thank you for a new word/phrase for today.

Sometimes you guys are simply hysterical... I can imagine this forum as a term paper..

'Creating A Political Blog And Monitoring The Resulting Firestorm'

... all of you as college students in annexed dorm rooms in some accommodating community college...

pontificating on perspective nuances to perpetuate the narrative.

As a Texas Tea Party conservative I appreciate the stimulus as a true demonstration of Free Speech...

keep it pithy.

Thank you for the compliments, and the v**e of confidence, but I am less of a pontificator and more of your average, garden variety smartass. I'm just more informed about matters political than most smartasses.

Yes, sir...me as well. However, although at times I disagree with your positions...I very much respect your principles to not let the discussion revert to h**e speech or insults...

one of the reasons I 'filter' some of the topics on this forum.

If we cannot agree to attempt some resolution of understanding for patriotic improvements in America...

then we are all just 'pontificating windbags.'

I am in Austin, Texas. The solar flares are already affecting the computers here and in San Antonio... some of our business websites are extremely slow and others are simply 'non-accessible.'

I try to avoid h**e speech. Insults are another matter. Those, I try not to be the initiator, but I have no hestitation when someone else begins. I am open to courteous discussion, especially with people I do not agree with. It's hard to learn anything in an echo chamber. One more thing: I am a smartass, NOT a windbag. I worked hard to become one, and I will not have it cheapened or denigrated by comparison to a lesser category of gadfly. This time I will let it slide. (LOL)
