Naw. I think it has more to do with your credibility.

Because I caught him in a lie.

Why else? (I mean, other than his rabid partisanship.)

would you point to some examples of my partisanship? no? ok, maybe just one example then? I'll wait.

You got me. As far as I was concerned, cocaine and crack were in the same category. Obviously you stratify your street drugs more than I do.

Obviously. That's like saying "beer" vs "151 Rum".

How the hell do you survive to adulthood without having at least some knowledge of drugs (if not - preferably not - 1st hand experience)?

Oh, I'd say your slobbering insistence that the poor little rich boys get their "retention payments". Har har! Partisan "pre-rich", anyway.

Okay. Obama smoking crack.

Wow. That was easy.

Define please. I don't see any numbers attached to that.

Pre-rich: The attitude that, one day, you will be rich (by some mysterious means), so you don't want to fuck it up for when you join the club.

See also: Extreme self-delusion, delusions of grandeur, blatant Libertarian fantasizing.

I want to make sure I understand what you're saying. In America it is delusional to believe that one might achieve a measure of wealth by working hard/smart, making good decisions, and trying to achieve financial independence? Do you really believe that?

FTR, I'm definitely not a big L libertarian but I do believe the government should have as little to do with my everyday life as possible. I do believe I should be able to keep the fruits of my labor. I do believe in personal responsibility. I hardly think those things make me delusional.

You seem to think you're going to be rich one day.

You won't.

Also, "personal responsibility" as enshrined by "getting bonuses for failing".

Crack is much more addictive than powder cocaine. It is supposed to be more pure, almost completely pure, because the impurities are cooked out, but I think it has other impurities cut into it before it's cooked that make it a lot more toxic. After all, dealers want to make as much money as possible. This is one reason why I think drugs should be legalized and controlled, so people actually know what they're getting.

True. The days of the independent drug dealer you knew by name are long gone, now. Now it's more like going to WalMart. You think you're getting quality stuff, but it's all full of lead and melamine.
