It's obvious that you have a real problem with scale, Mr. Evans.
You can add that to your growing list of projected inadequacies.
I've provided ample demonstration that I am willing to stand by
my convictions, pay real world prices in real world ways. Unlike
you, a sneering dilettante, an convenient buff, and a strident
negativist, I've put my money where my mouth is. All you ever do
is carp! Feel free to rearrange the letters, a little, in that
last capitalized word.

You don't get it do you, bunky. In metaphor, _you're_ her
plight. You're the problem. You're the reason. You're the fault.
You're the provenance. You're the provider of the cross she says
she's willing to die on. You're the reason she suffers, at all.
Why? Because you insist on putting the focus on what she's
doing, and not on why she's doing it. Moreover, don't project on
me what you're, likely, a lot more guilty of than I could EVER
be. I resent your implication and dismiss it, confidently, out
of hand.

Paint this any way you want to, Mr. Evans, you only demonstrate
your own lack of real compassion and display your general social
fecklessness . It's not about her at all, it's what motivates
her. Again, she's not the problem, the problem is the problem.
I'm not the villain in this piece. I have to give that
responsibility to you and "dubya"! Enjoy your own breakfast.
Don't fret about mine.

 >Here is the truth _you_ can't handle: She's losing weight and
 >you're not.

...And? That's not a very clever dodge, Mr. Evans. That's a
distraction! What's that supposed to mean, Mr. Evans? Are you
pointing out that I don't have her courage? Do you imply that I
don't have her COMPASSION? Would you suggest that I don't have
her determination, her drive, or her clarity of purpose? Right
on all counts, Mr. Evans! So? So!!!

We're not _talking_ about me, Mr. Evans. We are talking about a
woman of rumored sound mind that has more of those qualities
than me, Mr. Evans. Certainly more than you. She really frosts
your cookie doesn't she?

Why do you think that is? I think I know why. We can explore
that here if you like...

 >Talk is cheap Alfred, and yours is the cheapest I've ever seen.

I'll tell you what's cheap, Mr. Evans... "cheap" is contrived
concern and easy compassion worn like an obfuscating cloak to
cover their own lack of same. _That's_ cheap.

 >Like you, I believe in ET life.

I'll be throwing the BS card down on this too obvious loss
leader, Mr. Evans. Along with this alleged belief you are too
willing to except the cultural business as usual that has
precipitated this mess in the first place. Your "beliefs" are
suspect.

 >Unlike you, I believe in human
 >life more

What whining and off task dross is this? And your compassion is
touching given that you likely don't have a thought for the
25,000 children that starve to death on this planet every day as
a result of your lack of the very compassion that you too easily
trot out here.

 >and hers shouldn't be wasted just to satisfy your
 >curiosity about a truth that the government will never fess up
 >to.

Yeah -- that's my fault I suppose...

Face it Mr. Evans. Johnstone reminds you too much of your own
intellectual indolence and courage deficit. She's so far up your
nose that you can feel her knees on your top lip! You're
distressed because she has the stones to draw the line in the
sand that you won't, can't, or didn't. Get used to it. Her line
is just, and your lack of moral support for it is likely not.

 >To me, she's a person. To you, she's just a means to an end.

Disapproved! Resubmit in 30 days for final disapproval. She's an
embarrassment to you, Mr. Evans! To me she is a person... a
person of courage and someone to be admired.

 >And what if her ploy doesn't work?

I think we all agree that it's not likely to _work_, Mr. Evans.
The sociopathic bunch you front for assuredly does not have the
concern and compassion you only SAY you have... but her gesture
raises the pressure a little bit more, regardless.

 >Who will you line up next to
 >take the fall?

I would hope that _you_ would! It would give me an excuse to
think better of you. For _my_ part, I can't start something that
I don't think I have the juice to finish.

 >A member of _your_ family, maybe? How much was
 >this week's grocery bill, by the way?

That's it! Point a distracting finger at me, like _I'm_, the
problem, blithely oblivious to the three you point back at
yourself.

 >Seems like the John Ford restoration fund just missed an
 >opportunity for a contribution and _you_ missed an opportunity
 >to put your money where your food filled mouth is.

It's not _my_ mouth, Mr. Evans, and I've lost the money, maybe
60,000 dollars after taxes for putting mouth and money in the
same nexus. And as to John Ford? He's somebody _else_ with more
guts in a nail paring than what you evidently drag daily to your
_own_ breakfast table. Don't throw him up to me again or I'll
embarrass you further.
