I viewed your words too literally, that frame of mind is because I'm putting my sarcasm aside for now. Why am I doing that? because it's time to get feral for the upcoming rodeo. Yes, I know how much negative energy that word holds. <br /><br />K, I'll not post my thoughts from now on. <br /><br />Stay Safe, In Liberty.

The first part was just a complete crack..."Discourse," "Exchange of Views"...get it?<br /><br />I wasn't commenting on K's creativity at all. I was trying to point out what I pointed out, that I think "It's always been that way" is a poor justification for almost anything, a derivative result of which--besides the principle of it, I mean--is that it can stifle creativity. "Among other problems..."<br /><br />I can imagine lots of charges against K--hell, I've seen dozens!--but lack of creativity isn't one of them. Hopefully that''s clearer; thanks for asking.Jim Kleinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-47124548250253515342014-10-15T05:33:15.686-07:002014-10-15T05:33:15.686-07:00Jim, why would taking a head not be a candid excha...Jim, why would taking a head not be a candid exchange of views? Have you not agreed in past discussions that Extirpation is a positive action in some circumstances? Anyway, his use of "Human Discourse" doesn't strictly mean verbal discussion, although that is part of the theme he's reflecting on, it's more a reference to the overall picture of PJB's article, that one society will use varied actions to secure new territory. And to suggest K lacks creativity is inaccurate. <br /><br />By the way, Columbus was lost.

Must be like that Candid Exchange of Views!<br /><br />Anyway, if it's "better" (your word) not to, then why the acquiescence? I'm not saying it won't be necessary, especially with the way things look now, but personally I find, "It's always been that way," a remarkably poor justification for just about anything. Among other problems, it can stunt creativity and if there's ever been a time when creativity is essential, this is it.Jim Kleinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236695365244926782.post-5052946019267460942014-10-14T09:30:07.855-07:002014-10-14T09:30:07.855-07:00PJB is merely pointing out the hypocrisy of those ...PJB is merely pointing out the hypocrisy of those who like to think Western Civilization became dominant without taking heads.
