: Samuel, my dear chap,

SDF: Robert, you obviously don't hold me dear, so this is phony, and ingratiating. But to dramatize this point, perhaps I should do unto you what you've done unto us all, to show you how it feels... "Robert, my dear footsoldier for Imperial Phony Christianity, with its oh-so-noticeable grab for power within the Republican Party..." Get it?

: Intellectual resolution of this issue comes quicker than emotional. I understand that you are emotionally torn at this point and time in history.

SDF: You don't understand anything about my internal emotional state.

: But you must eventually face the music.

SDF: And you must face your illogic, an illogic I've already pointed out twice.

: It was our beloved Physicist with Space Science, Dr. Deathy, Farinata, and yourself that proselytised the coming doom of "Global Warming" and that we were going to bake ourselves to death in 50 years time.

SDF: The earth has never been hotter in 800 years. We've got plenty of evidence of global warming as a real phenomenon worth your interest. Nobody has offered a "bake ourselves to death in 50 years" figure. You've made that up as a phony straw man. Is it OK to make up all matter of lies and phoniness if your Sacred Dogmas are being contradicted before your eyes?

: It was the same bunch that told us that the Y2K was going to start a nuclear exchange between Russia and America.

SDF: Try citing a statement where this has actually happened, if you desire a shred of credibility, and it appears you don't. More lies and phoniness.

: It is the same bunch that wound everyone up about the population "time bomb", nuclear "nightmares", and all sorts of other fear mongering.

SDF: As Gideon Hallett told you himself, he's not fear-mongering.

: To which, my reply has always been: What Hogwash!

SDF: We've simply stopped listening to brainwashed footsoldiers for Imperial Christianity like you. Go back to your think-tank and tell them you've won the debate, and deserve a raise.

: *(Folks, now watch and notice how my arguments are always based in actual fact, and my acedemic opposition's arguments are always based in "modeling", "estimating", "suggesting", "Armegedon could be 50 years away", etc. type strategies.)

SDF: People whose arguments are "based in actual fact" can cite credible sources. Hallett can. Deathy can. You can't. More Big Lies.

: Now, when your Green leaders are IN ACTUAL FACT exploding depleted uranium over Europe, spilling chemicals and petroleum into her rivers, leaking poisons directly into the atmosphere, and on, and on, and on, unt do weiter... What is your response?

SDF: I'll respond to THEM, as indeed I have. I can at least count on rational and ethical thinking from the Green Party.

: Defend them to the hilt. No questions asked. Even after they, in lock-step, pleaded with us how "necessary" it was to sign the Kyoto Treaty.

SDF: Did I say such a treaty would do anything? Of course, you can't cite a place where I did, so you doubtless feel free to make anything up about me as you please. Liar.

: Now since Dr. Deathy has graciously psycho-analysed me in a previous post I now ask:

: Do you all now suffer from environmental schizophrenia?

SDF: Do you suffer from ideological paranoia now? The answer is yes, if your last post counts as evidence.

: Or perhaps the better question, which is still the unanswered one:

: Why do you so eagerly subject yourself to your Imperial corrupter?

SDF: I've been wondering the same about you. Have all those pseudo-religious pseudo-Christian "tax-free" political organizations in DC really added you to their payroll yet, or are you merely doing temp work or volunteer work for them?

: In His Grace.

SDF: Which "Him"? The guy with the red suit, the horns, and the tail? Which deity is impressed by phony ingratiating tone and false accusations?
