Saying autopilot over and over is an autopilot fixation.

The lady might be Republican....but it would be ridiculous to ascribe her nuttiness to the Republican ideology.

She was inspired by something cuckoo going on in the brain.

Even if she were a liberal Democrat, that would be the case.

The “5” are almost definitely nice folks in real life.

In the end, we are all just people.

As a genuinely disabled person, I am saying there are people looking for a handout. See I'm not looking for one, I am stuck with having one. And I do not like it. I do not like having to be provided for, instead of being able to provide for myself.

That's the difference between someone like me and someone looking for handouts.

Sounds like your ideal is to live like Theodore Kaczynski. He certainly wanted to live separate from society and survive on his own. And when modern industrialization interfered with his goal ... well, we all know what happened.

Let us read his comments about left and right. (From Wikipedia).

On the Left: He defines leftists as "mainly socialists, collectivists, 'politically correct' types, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists and the like", states that leftism is driven primarily by "feelings of inferiority" and "oversocialization", and derides leftism as "one of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world". He additionally states that "a movement that exalts nature and opposes technology must take a resolutely anti-leftist stance and must avoid all collaboration with leftists", as in his view "leftism is in the long run inconsistent with wild nature, with human freedom and with the elimination of modern technology".

On the Right: He also criticizes conservatives, describing them as "fools" who "whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth."

On Surrogate Activities: He writes that technology has had a destabilizing effect on society, has made life unfulfilling, and has caused widespread psychological suffering. He argues that most people spend their time engaged in useless pursuits because of technological advances; he calls these "surrogate activities" wherein people strive toward artificial goals, including scientific work, consumption of entertainment, and following sports teams.

If we take technology as Internet Forums, and "sports teams" as political affiliations, then he is quite right that many people here in the forum spend their time engaged in "useless pursuits." In the process, people have become slaves of the Internet. See, a moderator has to come in and lock some threads, otherwise they don't die. What I mean to say is: don't people have anything else to do in life? Even after people have pointed all this out, some die-hards would persist. That's not normal anymore.

Ezra is nothing like Kaczynski.

Kaczynski might have had some valid points.....but the bombings were not valid.

Ezra has a good sense of humor. Kaczynski probably had none.

That's what the eau de vie was substituting for. It's distilled spirits, but literally means 'water of life'.

My schoolboy latin must be incredibly rusty....I honestly thought Aqua Vitae mean't water of life?

Eau de vie is French, so it doesn't mean your Latin is off.

Actually I had someone like Richard Proenneke in mind. He spent 30 years by himself in the Alaskan wilderness. Others have done similar. Especially throughout history.

I'm perfectly happy living in society, in a populated area. There are times when I like being out in the forest. But I also enjoy walking around downtown. My interest in politics is actually fairly minimal.

What happened to the bald headed dude who looks like Karl Childers? He started all this and then abandoned the other four to do his bidding.

You're right and I do apologize for my part in it.

I'm not sure that would work since she was hyped up on meth at the time. Unless it's insanity via methamphetamine.
