What - the AP (presumably Altamont Press) ain't reliable?

Horror of horrors! Mustn't be hearing that! - that a time wasting plaything, a mere toy, is not reliable. Wow! The world will certainly end! -------- Are YOU for real? Never mind the question - is that your real name!

Now that other AP (Associated Press), certainly IS NOT reliable either! - and that truly is scary, because they are playing for keeps. And the more we citizens vote based upon bogus inferences from the likes of AP (and CBS, ABC, etc), the worse things are going to get

Then again, what media outlet or forum could possibly be reliable in this day and age; of political correctness, and of being permitted to publicly say only what certain select people deem to be acceptable.


Then too - "What IS in a name", that it should demanded? What are you going to with that info anyway, besides absolutely nothing. Anyhow; would not the biggest lie of all - even if a supposedly real name were attached to it - still be a lie!

Most Certainly, Benjamin Franklin, who told his compatriots that "If we do not hang together in this, we will most assuredly hang separately"; had grown the "pair" that you so eloquently demand. Yet it is well documented that he used pseudonyms and pen names freely - even to the point of having different characters he thus invented, argue in public forums on both sides of a question! (Now that is a true liberal - one that can see the points on both sides of a question well enough to convincingly argue both). The use of pseudonyms is a great American tradition - as is free speech itself. And - it is going to STAY THAT WAY !


One thing is absolutely certain, though: Having grown enough of a pair of my own, I could not care less about your demand - and will not comply. I WILL be the sole control of who knows my name -- Certainly, big brother Google will never know it; and neither will my truly fascist employer (a very P.C. public agency) ever know what I post anywhere, whether favorable to them or not.
