Masters Golf and Any Other Miscellaneous Golf Discussion

[heffray]

Everybody has to use their own judgment, of course. I'm judging the PGA to be money-grubbing liars and hypocrites who I don't want to associate or support in any way. That's not the same as judging the people who remain golf fans.

I mean, NFL owners are worse in some ways, but I don't think less of people who still follow the NFL.

Well, tony, they didn’t kill a journalist in an embassy, that we know of… and we all know that THAT is the official line in the sand (not necessarily middle-eastern) that is totally not arbitrary at all…

[heffray]

None of whatever it is you’re implying about some people maybe connected to something somewhere is even remotely equivalent to what we know for sure about a country murdering a journalist inside an embassy.

You’re asserting an arbitrary line again, in case you didn’t catch my sarcasm in the post above…

So what then it’s either all ok or none of it is? Seems like those are the only two options in your view as any attempt to separate anything from “I don’t care for his cologne” to “murderous autocrat” is apparently arbitrary?

Seems like perhaps a hard definition of arbitrariness is the wrong measuring stick.

In actuality the world we live in is quite gray. Every four years we hold this contest for the top public job in the land and various contestants puff out their chests and blather on about how, once elected, they will correct this injustice or that one. Eventually a first timer wins and on the very next January 20th (or 21st) assumes the mantle of power. Then, he/she gets to read the PDB for the very first time. It must be quite sobering.

Three of the last 4 were sober long before they ever saw a daily brief.

So, we’re changing definitions of words now? That might be a sign for me to stop having this conversation.

I dunno. I heard that one part of the deal is that all loopers now have to carry prayer rugs in the bag and when that call comes out over the PA system there will be a stoppage of play for prostration to the east.

I must spread rep, apparently… this post was brilliant. Sorry I didn’t mention it sooner.
