Despite being of an age (64 yrs) when most people would have acquired
some wisdom and have mellowed into a more tolerant member of humankind
our Jimbo never developed beyond his freshman glory days as an anti
Vietnam War protestor who never served in Vietnam. Aka he did so from
the comfort of his dorm room. I believe you have already found how
futile it is to write as if jim is open to any view than his own
twisted one. When someone's mental and emotional development is that
delayed a merciful way to deal with his condition is to grade his
posts as one would an undergrad essay assignment. On a scale of 5 I
would give him 5 for grammar, 2 for effort and zero for content. In
more than 20 years of SCC posts Jim makes no effort to update his
writings to take into account new information and new developments
that better define the truth. It would be a miracle to find anyone
other than himself who would agree with anything Jim puts to print.
He regurgitates variations of the same old nonsense. In any other
situation that would be called vomit.
