Jack, The_Skan only speaks the truth and you can't handle the truth. You fear The_Skan's daily enemas of the obvious and fight him with tiny words and contradictions. now, has been interred in the "daycare" section of the forums. Ironically he is now in the online equivelent of a concentration camp. My heard goes out to him at this time. He is a bit player like all of us and for now he is martyred in the abyss.
you should also pay close attention to Beergoggles. True, he is only a messenger, but the message that he is bearing is worth listening closely to. Only then will you be able to take the message and privately reflect upon it and perhaps use it to better your station in life and in doing so actually make the world a better place.
You and your friends easily dismiss these brilliant men as they generously dose out enlightenment and you beat them down and imprison them. it is always the way for those who come into the space with something truely significant to the whole of humanity. They are beat down, ridiculed, cast out, and villified. It is usually after their exit from the realm that the rest of humanity actually understands the gift that they have been given.
only then is it accepted into the agreement realities and then it is imitated and cheapened but the soul of the gift lingers and becomes part of the fabric of civilization. Some are remembered, some are forgotten but their messages live in our stories, laws and language. Ghandi, MLK, Joan D'Arc, Lenny Bruce, the list is endless.
The_Skan will be back and you will dispense your judgement just as you will on Beergoggles and countless others. it is my hope that some of you will wake up and become present to what it is that stands before you. You are just as free to remain oblivious to that which you don't know that you don't know. it's all only a choice, after all. And that's nothing until you make it.
