No Freak'in doubt! The Pompous part I disagree with simply because I
remember seeing Ayn Rand on an old Donahue show and was put off by her
pompousness--a human affliction that cuts both ways.

Yeah, if ya can't dazzle em' with brains; baffle em with bullshit. Yet I
persist in a Tiplerian fashion to hope against hope. For me it doesn't take
much energy to do this, but for others I can see Religion getting in the way
of a sane life. Or whats an Ontological Epistemology for? Perhaps a
didactic, dialectical, noeticism? To which the Dalai Lama said: "What Choo
talking bout' Willis?"
