Mr. Elliott's profile describes him as a graduate student, and I am confident he has a fine future doing nothing in the real world where ideas have actual consequences. Tlaloc is a skilled writer with an eye for detail who nonetheless has the same penchant for asking people to take responsibility for their actions while recklessly accusing others of all sorts of crimes. Most likely he is a professor, probably tenured or retired or on social security disability given the amount of time he has available to comment and Blog. He can make graduate students like James do the research! Whoah, am I making reckless generalizations about people with opposing positions based on wild-eyed theories? My my, that's the role of the academic. I better get back to working, living a life, and laughing at the entertainment provided by these high-powered intellectuals of the Left!Evanston2https://www.blogger.com/profile/09851967034946400308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-1117646257335171632005-06-01T13:17:00.000-04:002005-06-01T13:17:00.000-04:00Also there are at least three anonymous people.Also there are at least three anonymous people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-1117599629277804222005-06-01T00:20:00.000-04:002005-06-01T00:20:00.000-04:00So, calling people "raving jerks" is how you "call...So, calling people "raving jerks" is how you "call somebody" on their facts?
