But it wouldn't be the 1st time your conclusions on my position were grossly in error.

I don't believe I stated that was your position

So your conclusion to my response that "resistance is futile" was........Plane's position?


you have stated that in between the education system brainwashing the masses and the dems controlling the redistricting process the outlook is grim.

Yea.....and?




Hey!Normally I have to come up with these things myself, perhaps ya'll know me so well now that I can be anticipated , ....


This could save a lot of work.

your link didn't work.

this is what i said:

So resistance is futile.

The libs outsmarted the conservatives, because the libs took the longview and built a farm system that can go on for decades.

That was my conclusion derived from your saga about poor little average joey.

Sirs is free to take any position he likes, so are you . Where sirs erred is saying i applied a position to him that i didn't. I simply staked out my own position. Hopefully other states can learn from California's mistakes.

I hope that Georgia remains a state friendly to homeschoolers.

I don't think we need to get the government entirely out of the education game , but I think that some real competition is good medicine for the monopoly.

Why didn't you make that clear in the first place?  1 line, in the very next post would have sufficed.   sheeeesh

I did. In the very next post after you made your accusation.

and then left it hanging, so it wasn't clear at all, since I obviously inferred you were referring to me.

Your erroneous conclusions are not my responsibility, especially after they have been pointed out.

Your lack of clarification is neither mine, especially when the issue was still in question

Let's review:

You accuse me of assigning you a position.

I say i didn't.

You continue the accusation.

And that is on me?

I think not.

Yea, let's review:

I preface a position of how bad this state is

You RESPOND with a ... so resistance is futile.  

No, NOT "I guess resistance is futile",
no, NOT "I suppose that means resistance if futile",
no, NOT "it would appear resistance is futile (from my vantage point)".  No, none of those that would make that clear or clarify your statement, that it was a position you were taking.  No, you left it dangling that could make the conclusion you were prefacing a position I was taking

You then merely say you didn't, and left it.  Actually you didn't, you even added to it "though you have stated that in between the education system brainwashing the masses and the dems controlling the redistricting process the outlook is grim", making it appear even more so that it was the position I was taking.

Apparently clarification is not only a challenge you have when taking it from others, but a challenge when you're so lacking in it yourself
