Here's a saying that some Brothers and Sisters may be familiar with:
"There is a principle which is a bar to all information, which is proof against all argument, and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance. This principle is, contempt prior to examination." Not to belabor but any vice/flaw is twice as bad, turned on yourself.
Mitch Ryder puts the lie to this song title. And I hope Brother Boyd doesn't need to, at least not at the real dark backend of the alley.

Actually, I vote to keep the Thread going--there's been all manner of fascinating stuff discussed and linked. Not being at all sarcastic in this or glorifying any particular Brother or discreet Sister.

Due to Brother MiamiHeller's Book of Proverbs references, I looked at these solid pieces of advice on how to live a life and where power truly is. The same solid stuff is doubtless in other-than-Judeo/Christian sacred texts.
First is Proverbs 17:28 http://www.readbookonline.net/read/16646/43240/ << I did like this one
Proverbs 18:2 and 18:24 http://www.readbookonline.net/read/16646/43241/ << #24 is my pick
my turn: Proverbs 18:19 http://www.readbookonline.net/read/16646/43241/

If I can drive off the cart-path for a moment: that word "proverb". Yes, essentially a fore-telling but PRO-verb--movement forward to a, if not happy, at least satisfying ending. I tell proverbs to Chicas alla time--how about you? Some amount of myth is very helpful.

Now, MH....you're poking fun at what is in your remarks about Supreme Member #11 of CRT GOODFELLA operation ES, right???? No disrespect intended, but the day them "goodfella guys" tell the truth about "raw reality" in SJO is the day the chickens don't come home to roost.

While the operating moniker IS TEHO.....give us a kiss here......ELS just wants the pressure removed from the concluding episodes in this very entertaining and amusing soap opera. Suggestion: Let it play itself out, eh? Trainwrecks are fun to watch.

Oh yeah....here are some proverbs from a real USA saint:


"...freedom to think as you will and speak as you think are means indispensable to the discover and spread of....truth ... the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."

-- US Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis

"Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evilminded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, wellmeaning but without understanding."

Justice Louis D. Brandeis, dissenting, Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 479 (1928)

LOT....and I do underscore a LOT of "....without understanding...." going on up in this here comedic tragedy.......; A LOT......

Happiness is never grand."
- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, Ch. 16

Oh right this generation's Goethe or Shakespeare figures to write large, examining crucial aspects of the Human Condition. Meanwhile the bazillionaires sequester further bazillions...or don't you read Brother Greengo's epistolaries?

This thread has lost any useful meaning. I am about to ignore a few brothers whose opinions and comments I otherwise respect.

Guys:
really hate to be the Kill joy, but enough with the Proverbs, bible quotes and everything else in between. If we can't add anything else meaningful, I will lock this which I don't want to do but the hijacking ends.

I don't think it should be locked, as this is a topic of importance to many of the board. How about we just post information related to the topic; what a concept!!

OK so Penn State is taking the statue of Jo Paterno down can we take Boyds down as well ?

should I shave my balls

HLH isn't the only source of the behavings of Boyd

there are non CRT associates
who he interacted with, friends of his girlfriend/wife or whatever, neighbors and others who may contribute information which the HLH team isn't privy too

No, just keep working on that impressive three year post count
