To the best of my recollection, Tyler never granted my point that people's views about religion and politics are especially demented... Virtually every person I've argued with, regardless of his standpoint, has been willing to grant this point. It's obvious. Hmm... I'm having a difficult time accepting that statement on it's face. What you're saying is that just about every person you've ever argued with, even religious people, have granted your point that religion and politics (both) are demented? Both cause a "loss of intellectual capacity" or "insanity"? Who have you argued with? Or better, who have you not argued with? I find it difficult to believe that religious people would grant that point. I find it equally difficult to believe that politicos would also grant it. Or are you limiting your discussion to "rational" people, who by definition would exclude followers of religion or politics? Posted May 12, 2006 11:56 PM

Congrats on the book, but I have a problem with the implicit view that dumbocracies can ever choose good policies, or more fundamentally, that there is anything as a good policy under one. Posted May 13, 2006 6:48 AM

Also congrats on the book. Always feels good to get those off for good. Regarding Tom Cruise, he got big paycheck, but would have anyway based on his past successes. However, the word is that MI 3 is not doing as well as expected by the studio chieftains. Widespread perception is that Tom C. overdid it on Oprah. Women have turned off on the guy since he "jumped the couch." So, maybe males are his bigger audience, but I suspect he has received his last outsized such check. Not so smart after all, inspite of being an Operating Thetan and all that post-Nirvana egomaniacal stuff. Girls don't like that kind of thing very much... Posted May 14, 2006 1:23 PM

Why do we need assume that Cruise's actions are in pursuit of greater wealth? Perhaps he accumulated fame and money in order to spend it all on promoting Scientology. Posted May 14, 2006 6:16 PM

Excellent title! I will purchase many copies (for beach reading gifts) and recommend it to my friends. Any chance of getting a signed copy? Posted May 14, 2006 6:49 PM

Exciting stuff. I wonder if the unwashed masses will appreciate it. When's the tour? Posted May 16, 2006 3:53 PM
