I kindly take exception to the aggressive tone in many of your posts. I have already stated my belief, namely, that in this speech JFK's description of "this unspeakable something" is far too broad for "the something" he is describing to be limited to political, religious, or idealogical philosophies and their proponents.
I further believe that overly aggressive refutation of logically deduced or inferred conclusions (be they ultimately accurate or not) is evidence of a defensiveness born from a lack of confidence in one's own position, rather than evidence of the weakness in another's.
Me thinks thou protests too loudly, indeed.
Greg,
I find your amateur psychoanalysis to be devoid of insight into both the discipline you're aping and the "patient" to whom you would attend.
Further, I find your from-the-mount pronouncements describing my responses as "aggressive" or "overly aggressive" simply mind-boggling in terms of the ignorance and hubris from which they emerge.
Who are you trying to impress?
I might mention in passing that I remain singularly unimpressed by your work in its totality -- my subjective judgement to be sure. In particular, there is nothing "logical" about your interpretation of the JFK speech in question. Your interpretation rightly has been rejected by the majority of respondents on this thread, and if I were to engage in the cheap analytics which seem to be your forte, I might note that your response here emerges from an endangered and petty ego.
Let's put it this way: You're as on-target about my work as you are about the meaning of JFK's words.
Finally: If you don't like the tone of my posts, don't read them.
Which is a kind way of saying, "mind your own business."
Charles
P.S. You didn't need the second comma in your post's title.
