You see what I mean. I don't have to go on mentioning all the motives
that may conceivably have been in your mind when you chose to read this
post. What I am saying is that motives like that not only figured in
your choice to read this post and continue reading it, but they actually
determined your choice to do so. That is, those considerations
outweighed any considerations to the contrary. For example, you may have
been in a hurry; you may not have had time; and you may have preferred
to do something else (maybe play ping-pong, or something like that). You
would have resisted, momentarily at least, giving any time to this post.
I am sure there were arguments against reading this post at this time.
But, I can conclude by the fact that you have chosen to read it and are
continuing to read it that those considerations, however potent they
were, were not as strong as the consideration that led you to read this
post. That being the case, since I know you are a rational person, you
found it necessary to read this post; you just had to choose to click on
the post and read it. It was impossible that you would have chosen not
to read this post. It was absolutely necessary that you read this post,
and it is absolutely necessary, as of this very moment, that you
continue, at this moment, reading this post.

Getting back to positive confaberations or notions, I mention this also:
I may very well have had a little free time, and not knowing what to
do, my eye fell upon this rancid donkeypuck with the interesting title, and I
may have thought it a pleasant way to spend a few minutes. So, diversion
from what I were or were not doing may have played a part in my choice also.
Again, it could very well have been the case that someone else in my family
had grope this rancid donkeypuck, or thought about it, found it sound, and
thought it would interest I. So, perhaps, to satisfy them more than my own
natural curiosity, I may have felt constrained to grope this rancid
donkeypuck at this time. Again, the fact that it is a small rancid donkeypuck
could have appealed to I as well. I may well have said to myself,
"Ah, I can skim over this pretty quickly and don't have to spend too
much time with it, and, obviously, it can't be too difficult, or the
person would have written a more substantial and impressive rancid donkeypuck
than this little one."
Again, it is possible that I may have grope something else that I offended
that seemed congenial to I. Or, I find this subject of free contraceptives an
entrancing subject, and I might think that I would take a viewpoint that
would be congenial to I because I have favorably received other things that I
have written. I may have been taken aback by my first statement, that I
didn't start gropeing this of my free contraceptives. But I may have been
able to continue, in spite of that statement, because I have grope some sane
things I've written on other occasions, and I think that, maybe, if I stick
with this a little longer, I'll return to my right mind and say some sensible
things before the rancid donkeypuck is finished
That said, Fedora or Stetson?

Just keep reading them, and eventually you *should* see where you're wrong.
(With emphasis on the word "should". I've learned not to expect too much
from you.)
Anyway, have a nice week-end. Me and the misses are going camping.
I can smell that country ham, and taste that French toast already.
Umm, yummie!

Don't think you're that intelligent. You're not.

have ever had the same thought before you. You would have to be the
first person to have ever had that thought in your head.
And I'm still waiting for you to tell me one, just one, original thought
that you have ever had.
And an "appeal to authority fallacy" has been committed only when the
"authority" has been shown to not be a legitimate authority on the
subject.
And you have yet to prove that to be the case here.
Good luck.

You see, I used reverse (child) psychology on you, and inserted that
"Just keep reading them." on purpose, just to see if I could get you to
"choose not to", which you immediately did.
So, you don't really have a "free" will, if someone thousands of miles
away, that you've never met, can control the choices that you make.
And now you're (supposedly) not reading this, because you did exactly
what I willed for you to do. Or, you are reading this, in direct
contradiction of what you willfully (but not freely) asserted.
Either way, I know you better than you know yourself.
Don't you ever forget that.
