well, i am glad for that. i would hate to think that our technological/sociological betters would be akin to rush.
Why? Do you have something against Geddy Lee and Neil Peart?
Ok now I'm more confused. The band Rush? Sorry to be stupid. Whatever. I'm not feeling well today.

Well, I presume AuntBlabby was referring to radio commentator Rush Lamebrain, but I like to break out the rock band Rush whenever someone wants to refer to him by his first name only.
"Rush is Right!"
"Well, they certainly seemed a bit prescient in the songs Beneath, Between and Behind and A Farewell To Kings - you'd almost think Peart had foreseen the second President Bush back in '76..."

Yeah, Rush is right out of his mind.

I'm missing something. Are you being a bit sardonic?
gee, that's a big word. so i asked mr. webster for his opinion and found that i wasn't being sardonic at all, but instead merely stating that if i am to have a galactic overlord, that it would be nice if he or she were nothing like rush the ranter, IOW nobody likes being lorded over by a right-wing bully.
I was talking about people in 12th century France, not galactic overlords so your response confused me. I guess I used sardonic incorrectly. "Wry" is a better word but perhaps not. I really didn't mean to piss you off. It was never my intention to get into a fight with you auntblabby. This is really upsetting to me.

gosh, this is not what i wanted to happen. you did not upset me at all, i am sorry that you felt that. please consider it the furthest thing from my mind, sunshine
i am the world's most lousy fighter, btw.
it is just that i have a tendency to make leaps of thought from one area of thought to another, and some folk find this uncomfortable, and to those people i apologise but just the same i am the way god made me, so it will be a continuing tendency on my part, good or bad. when you mentioned "socially liberal" that was an irresistable thing for me, as that is what i am.
no less a mind than Einstein said he had no need of a huge vocabulary as long as a good dictionary was nearby. "wry" is a good word, it describes me to a "t" if not a "w." but something about me causes many folk to be distracted from my message all too frequently. i don't know what to do about that, other than wait for an angel to come down from on high to show me the way.
