Try not to be intentionally obtuse. Proper use of markup language means using its functionality correctly. I find what I do better suits me. I prefer a different functionality. Sheep are folk that can't help but bleat when others deviate from the stereotypical way. They aren't sheep because they post typically. It's the reaction to the different, the need to point to it, that reveals the inner conditioning, the fear of something other. It what keeps so many rutted.

dose it better suit you because you cant figure out how
tags work?

I took a lesson from watching some little kids playing in a park, where all they had were sticks for oars and miracles of miracles, the oars turned into thundersticks when needed. They had a thick broken branch for a mighty vessel and t-shirts for sails.

They were having the time of their lives and I was reliving my youth through them and felt awfully thankful for it.

Life is good.
Amen, brother. Spend some time on your belly looking into a clear, clean stream. Preferably with darters. It's good for the soul. So is imagination and playing and laughter.

I think the majority of people are happy and reasonably content with our lives. And personally, if Moonie wants to have imaginary conversations rather than use the quote function, what's the harm? Content > format.

I post as I do for my reasons. This means that I never figure out what I have no reason to. So it has nothing to do with can't. It has to do with irrelevant. I'm not driven to be a sheep nor am I driven to bleat or imagine my own superiority via the imputed incapacity of others. You have no idea how many small minded fools I flush out using my technique. You're just the latest of many.

The article kind of glosses over the fact that we've used debt to "achieve" whatever happiness made this "utopia" possible.

The rich are rich, and they've gotten obscenely rich, and they'll stay rich. But who's going to whether the oncoming storm? I assume the cannon fodder will.

i have to admit, this post left me at a loss on how to respond

you may be a bit boorish but at the same time you are a lovable don quixote on the internet who marches to the beat of his own drum and describes it in esoteric ways that i cannot comprehend

and for that i salute you!

Exercise more, eat less junk food, be healthy be happy. Be glad that your children don't have to breath in Shanghai air. Be thankful that you're not slaving in work camps in China to make ipads and iphones for fat lazy Americans.

You don't get fat and lazy unless you live in a country that creates the money to be fat and lazy on. All those work camp groupies are slaving away for their turn at being fat and lazy and they are on their way. I had chow fun for lunch to support Chinese noodle makers and peanut butter and jelly for dinner in honor of Jimmy Carter and the apricot brigade.
