Sorry, kiddo, but you don't set the parameters of discussion. My remark was directed to Eddie and it concerned, quite specifically, a statement he made about history and the quaint idea that it "tells us" this or it "tells us" that.

Oh no I'm sorry to see you have to try to save face - but your answer was directed at my challenge, it was not directed to Eddie, and in fatc you pasted my challenge into your post :
Can you please xpalain Sarvis, where Eddie is going wrong here?

Eddie veered off into meaningless banalities when he wrote, "History tells us that." Having read some of your posts, I'm not sure you're going to grasp this, either (and I'm pretty certain Eddie won't have a clue), but -- what the hell -- it's worth a try:
"History tells us," is one of those non sequiturs that are like fingernails on a chalkboard to my ears. History, speaking either literally or metaphorically, does not tell us much at all, at least not anything that was not self-evident to begin with. Unlike Newtonian physics, history does not present to us clean, crisp, and clear laws of human behavior. History is a messy subject. Historical insights are almost always matters of interpretation and disputation, conjecture and refutation.

and also we have just revisited your moronic answer that has something to do with your dissapproving of the words "history tells us"
because you cannot face the fact that cutting taxes and cutting spending helps the economy.
furthermore - yes you DO sit around in front of DR posting all day - count up your avg number of posts compared to mine.
