82 BilboPump . . . .”Simply a statement of fact that you have utterly no experience about life spent working on a ship, so you really have no standing whatsoever to pronounce me “WRONG” in this field.”

I wasn’t commenting on whether you, Comrade BPump, had maritime experience. Nobody cares about that. Let me put it this way . . . it’s not about YOU. It’s about Obama’s response to the pirates and how it contradicted the certitude of people predicting failure or inaction on his part – predictions that you hailed as “good comments showing basic common sense.” Again, WRONG on all counts. Why you insist on making it about you is quite sad really. Now, go down into the basement, dig out that duffle bag, relive a few memories, pour several drinks, lament the passing of time, weep and snork into your sleeve, get ahold of yourself. Then go to bed. Wake up and try to deal with the present again tomorrow.
