Ex-con: It's/Sprout's claim to rationality is about as sound as the Ontario government's honesty. Nobody seems to like him here. Not even procapitalists like Rocky, cappie, dee isner and Mike Bacon. He has stated that "I like Harris and Manning too." and "the further the right the better." One can only wonder how far gone he is with something like that.

MS: Apprarently you have a selective memory. Bacon has on several occasions supported Sprout with statements like "MS makes a lot of good points. EC has also complimented Sprout, as have Fish and Harley. ANyone wondering about opinions on QX should read his "discussion" with the Langs. You seem to be keeping good track of Sprout's posts, what do you do, print them out and keep them in a scrap book?

: Sprout hasn't responded to many of my rebuttals but then perhaps that's because his views have been debunked. That's hard to admit to so instead he takes refuge in calling these rebuttals "ridiculous" and claims that the responses didn't get through. Oh well, there's always an excuse.

MS: There seems to have been some technical problems with some of your latest posts too. I hardly think any of my views have been debunked. I'll probably be accused of failing to respond to some of the recent posts here, but consider the volume. It seems everyone wants to be educated by Sprout these days!

: For someone who claims to be proudly Canadian he sure wouldn't mind escaping the Canadian winter by going to Australia. I hope Rocky barbecues him there and feeds him to the roos. On second thought that would be cruelty to animals. Just fry him good Rocky.

MS: What's wrong with going on vacation for a bit? I'd love to travel the world. That dosen't lesson my belief that Canada is the gretest nation on earth. Maybe if you took a trip like Jim Rogers you would open your mind to reality.

: If he's so proudly Canadian then why does he support the policies of a provincial government that will lay waste to his claim that it is rated by the UN as the best place to live in the world? If he's such a free market supporter then how can he call himself a conservative? What does he conserve? Canadian sovereignty? After all Mulroney screwed Canada by signing NAFTA. Even John A. McDonald (Canada's first prime minister. Not the burger chef.) would laugh at Mike Sprout.

MS: No, HArris is doing what is NECESSARY to preserve what we have. Perhaps you could do some research on New Zealand and what happens to a country when the debt wall is it (While your at it, look up the definitions to "relative" and "absolute" so your ready for a future posting debunking your claims about poverty in Canada). By the way, NAFTA is the BEST thing to ever happen to Canada. Maybe you should read the headlines about Asia lately and what happens to economies that fail to open markets. I WISH Mulroney was still PM, and don't want to be called Conservative in the context of the current federal party.

: He states that he is agnostic. Perhaps he means that he has no knowledge. That would be a more apt description. He even states that he is a Generation X-er. Didn't Billy Idol start up that band in the Seventies? Wasn't that a science fiction term of the Fifties? Either way he exposes himself as a media construct of sorts. Correct me if I'm wrong folks.

MS: More Quincunx verbal diarhea

: His claims to rationality break wind in the strangest of ways. It's the bubble he constructed for himself and nothing can burst it. As far as he's concerned. He claims that E.C. is creating fears of food and other products to the point of hysteria and then asks him if he is trying to suggest that McDonald's food is healthier than soy beans.So much for claims to rationality.

MS: maybe you should read posts closer before commenting. The Soy bean comment was directed at postings by others who have very clearly made statements to that effect.

: P.S.: Nix the Diet Coke. The water is clean here.

MS: In what prison is that?
