*** I'm blocking you, Pat, and Dale, and Kevin G, not because I'm afraid of the power of your ideas, but because you don't have any. ***

We have plenty of ideas. Ideas that helped grow and develop this country in one of the greatest ever. (And don't you just hate that!)  None of your ideas, or the ideas of your heroes, have developed squat. Castro seems to have the same ideas as you. How's his little corner of the world doing?  Unfortunately, I guess our ideas do not mix well with your ideas so you will not tolerate them. Imagine what this country would be like if we followed your solution to contrarian ideas; eliminate them, block them, snuff them out, imprison them(?). Is that what you want? Of course it is. Does this little ideology of yours remind you any past governments? Baerwald. That's German isn't it?? Ja.

It's quite a world you live in. Too bad none of it is based in any kind of reality. You're a child. A angry little child who could have had sooo much more but threw it away. Why, because "neocons" tend to run companies. And companies make profits. And profits are evil. And evil are the neocons. Oh brother.

So, this is it for me. I'm tired of waiting for the new music which will never come. I'm tired of the broken promises. I'm tired of the excuses. I'm tired of your childish antics. I'm tired of your hypocrisy. I'm tired of your profane little temper tantrums. I'm tired of your smug, egotistical blathering. Look at you. You've become a parody. You're a child; probably always have been. I'm willing to bet you have very few close friends your own age. I'm also willing to bet those that were are now looooong gone because of your behavior . Based on who we have here on this little board, you probably like to surround yourself with little yes-men in their 20's who think you're just the bee's knees. They'll probably hang around and hang on for a couple of years, listening to you go on and on, over a bowl or two, and think wow! This is so cool!! But then it gets old. And it gets tired. And it gets boring. And in a couple of years they're gone too. Good riddance! They probably don't get it either, do they. Time to grow up David. You don't need a page on MySpace. You need to take some responsibility. How? I have no idea. I think it's safe to say you're probably unemployable, like most of your comrades in here.

So, thanks for the music. Thanks for the laughs. Thanks for the chat with Peter, Reg and me in Boston all those years ago. Those are the memories I'll retain for many years. I'll quickly forget the bullshit. Life's too short.

Maybe I'll see you in Cali in July at the big reunion. Let's hope Ricketts is done moving by then.
