>>What kind of despicable creep would be capable of introducing this vicious libel into the discussion, Pericles?<<
And the "vicious libel" is the suggestion that your personal class war might extend to a disdain for opera-goers.
"I chose the Opera House because I suspect that you despise the sort of people who go there"
Quelle horreur!
Call out the guard, Cynthia, the barbarians are at the gate!
Never has a calumny been so heinously uttered.
Whatever next?
>>It adds no more to the discussion than if I were to ask Pericles how much he would have to be paid to rape his grandmother.<<
Ah, but it most certainly does, daggett.
I would have considerable difficulty, as you might expect, answering such a question as yours. It would involve such a broad and deep range of sins, I would definitely find it difficult to live with myself and my secret afterwards, whatever the amount of money we agreed.
Fortunately, raping my grandmother would not further the cause of destroying prominent New York buildings.
But you have to admit that on the other hand, violently ending the lives of fellow-citizens, in cold blood, and without discernible motive, is an essential component of your 9/11 scenario.
Therefore the question, what is the dollar value of such betrayal, is most definitely directly relevant.
Your sudden attack of the vapours at my passing reference to the class chip clearly visible on your shoulder, might have something to do with the fact that you have absolutely no answer to the question.
Business as usual, in fact.
