Richard Coleman once asked whether Logic was still a required course on the Hilltop. The fatuous and irrelevant ripostes to his latest comment are evidence that it is not. The initial post suggests that it never was.

Enjoy some Filter lyrics! Awake on my airplane Awake on my airplane My skin is bear My skin is theirs Awake on my airplane Awake on my airplane My skin is bare My skin is theirs I feel like a newborn And I feel like a newborn Awake on my airplane Awake on my airplane I feel so real [Chorus:] Could you take my picture 'Cuz I won't remember Could you take my picture 'Cuz I won't remember Could you take my picture 'Cuz I won't remember Yeah I don't believe in I don't believe in In your sanctity Your privacy I don't believe in I don't believe in Sanctity A hypocrisy Could everyone agree that No one should be left alone Could everyone agree that They should not be left alone yeah And I feel like a newborn And I feel like a newborn Kicking and screaming [Chorus] Hey dad what do you think about your son now Ah hey dad what do you think about your son now [Chorus (4 times)] Thanks. Love that song. Never figured out what they were saying in the beginning and never got around to looking it up. I knew it had something to do with an airplane.

I'm still so confused who Richard Coleman feels he is impressing by posting his degrees at the end of every post like we all didn't graduate from the same school? Or, rather, a more exclusive version of the same school that he once attended.

December check-in.
Thanks for all the anonymous posts.
I commend to the attention of HT viewers the book STONEWALLED for its detailed descriptions of the tactics (including ad hominem attack) used by government and others to distract, so as to avoid addressing the merits of a subject. The author, Sharyl Attkinsson, an award winning investigative journalist, cites chapter and verse of specific instances of the use of each of the diversionary tactics - most instructive.
Merry Christmas to all.

Another form of propaganda is to continuously spout the same nonsense while dismissing not just the counterarguments but the very legitimacy OF any counterarguments.
Happy Holidays.

Why would anyone post their name and degree, as if it added any sort of legitimacy? And trust me, there is no need for you to do a monthly, or bimonthly, or annual check in.
