It is easier to criticise and find fault than to think on a high intellectual plane. It's much easier to attack than present alternative ideas. However, the main reason you see, for the TLP's astonishingly diminished mental capacity, is due to insecurity. If the TLP's presented an idea, they would be opening themselves up for criticism - which they simply can not handle. As difficult as it may be to understand, by insulting a person who is either a threat to them or more intelligent than them, they try to knock that person down to build themselves up (in their own minds of course). What you and I see as quite stupid and thoughtless remarks, makes them feel better about themselves. It's really quite that simple.Paul Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12193445205559033843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31670799.post-9883305907698024702008-01-29T11:57:00.000-05:002008-01-29T11:57:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.SpeedDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895333179130696729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31670799.post-84629954612614199602008-01-28T13:46:00.000-05:002008-01-28T13:46:00.000-05:00Chris: Very good!

In a recession, millions of people will be worse off.
