Say Anything Blog

I thought the simple fact that the cultures depicted in the film ‘300’ all endorsed pedophilia as a social institution made them the ‘evil’ ones… at least to any God-fearing Christians… they were the good guys?

What struck me was the similarity to the evil cowardly cadre of terror fighters in the 300.  They too covered their faces.  The too only used trickery to accomplish their evil.

You are so right!  Just like the way the cowards cover their identities on this blog site.

Lik, Rob, Whistler, Sparkie, Hot, Batman!  You know what I mean!

I am far less worried about the honesty, bravery or the integrity of people who post on this or any other web log, without posting their names. It is bothersome, and kind of annoying, but no more than that. You will not see me posting under aliases but rather using my real name. Does this mean that Whistler’s comments and posts are some how less genuine, or the content has less veracity than something I post? Of course the answer is no.

What I find truly craven and insipid are people who make attempts at threats towards others simply because they disagree with something they said. The entire basis of this blog and ones like it, is to be a place for like minded people to discuss issues and events, and to serve as a forum of ideas to be debated. Persons who make threats demonstrate a lack of integrity, honesty, belief in one’s own position and are just plain rude. Wouldn’t you agree Andy?

Andy L. is so ignorant of everything in this world, perhaps a little enlightenment…
You may have noticed (or maybe not you) that my avatar is “Mark Twain”.
Mark Twain was the nom de plume of Samuel L. Clemens. Sam Clemens was not a coward for writing under another name. Only a moron would think so. Pen names are very common in the literary world. “Ellery Queen” was the pen name of two writers who wrote their mysteries in the first person. (Also not cowards!)

When I first came to Say Anything, there were at least two other individuals with similar names who were posting regularly. I chose a nom de cyber to distinguish myself from the others, so that there would be no confusion as to who was speaking. Little did I realize then, that it would be helpful as an evil troll repellent in the months to come!

For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.
