Shadow Minister,

That just goes to show that the problem with
assumptions is that we believe they are the
truth.

Most people can and do surprise us. Most of us are more
than one dimensional. I suspect, even you.

As for Ayn Rand? One of my favourite books was
"The Fountainhead.

Foxy, I would never have pinned you as an Ann Rand fan, especially as everything she writes rubbishes the socialist values you so desperately cleave to.

Answer-

Here's my perspective- amateur psychological analysis...

1. We are all the people we think we are- In Foxy's case "a small L liberal (Liberal Party Left) supporter". She see's moderatism as the answer to the complexities of the world- rarely acknowledges the Overton Window and it's distortions caused by the Communists.

2. And the person that others see- In Foxy's case "a useful Socialist idiot" that doesn't realize the origins of her ideas- despite her and her husbands education. Many useful Socialist idiots follow Socialist ideas seemingly to protect themselves and their positions in society- try not to study things too deeply- or ask difficult questions. Can't really blame them for that- but extortion has a standard path that sucks in everything. Sometimes you have to fight from the shadows. We have to assume that those in The Matrix are compromised and potential agents. And it's harder for those of another culture to understand the harm they do to ours- if we don't protect our interest no one else will.

As Foxy has indicated her ancestral line has been damaged and she has been separated from her homeland and so she denigrates those that seek to protect theirs- perhaps a form of sub-conscious envy- and predisposes her to Socialist "open society" principles. My answer is that it is possible to recreate an ancestral line over many generations. Some are overwhelmed at the size of the task. At least she still interacts with the Lithuanian community- hopefully so does her offspring. Some would say that her bias towards the Lithuanian community is a form of racism- but I don't think that this is necessarily bad

Canem Malum,

Trust me - as you get to know me I just get
more astounding, surprising, breathtaking, stunning,
astonishing, amazing, and perplexing.

I could choose to comment on other more esoteric aspects- but it's better to focus on the straw-man.

Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Canem Malum,

Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes?

How lovely.

There's so many appropriate ones to choose from.

Enjoy this one. It's so suitable.

"People don't seem to realize that their opinion of
the world is also a confession of character."

Know this"

Some people will not hear you regardless of how much,
how loud, how truthful, how profound you speak.
Wish them well and walk away.
