    Do you copy and paste your pithy little lessons from Ayn Rand, or is it William Bennett?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I don't think that was pithy. It was a fairly long-winded way of saying that teams win, players don't. Oden should be trying to play well, not "win games" which is impossible on his own. But I like lots of words.

    You did, however, somehow manage to ferret out that I'm secretly a hardcore fiscal conservative. That's really impressive, considering that I hadn't even yet noted that Oden wasn't really injured the past few years, he was going Galt. Metaphorically speaking.

    You have nothing in common with the poster to whom you compare yourself. Your brief philosophic wanderings are a little sophmoric, but they don't grate on me. You have the official Jlprk approval, so continue whistling on your jog to your barracks, Sergeant, and don't let me hear about this encounter from any of your Privates.

    Which poster is that?

    I'm glad they don't. :) But really, so long as they don't grate on me, I'm happy.

    LMAO at Oden "going galt". Maybe Jlprk is accusing you of being so objective that you've become an objectivist? Try more subjective rants in th future minstrel!

    No--sophomoric would be me commenting that it's a little disturbing that you would be near enough to Minstrel's privates to hear anything from them. Or that they would talk at all.
