A Letter My Son, A Basic Fundie.
[dad]
Dear \*,
All souls are in AND of God and always have been. Eternity has neither beginning nor end nor time and space.
Each soul is a thinking Thought of God, His image in microcosm. God creates by extending Love in Thought as does each soul. We are Love and collectively His Son and co-creators in His Eternal Creation.
Each of us share His Intelligence and are the beneficiaries of any benevolence we choose to attribute to Him, in limitless supply, unconditionally and without exception. How could it be otherwise?
Ever wonder why Santa Claus takes over for God at Xmas in every temple of commerce? It’s the economy, my friend.
Santa: Ho, ho, ho. You been good?
Scheming sinner: Yep!
Santa: I’ll take your word for it. What can I do for you?
Scheming sinner: All my favorite drugs and toys, good health and a comfortable place to sit among friends.
Santa: Drops off what you’ve paid for with cash and credit to celebrate the birthday of His Son and, thru you, spreads the largess among your loved ones. And then, laying his finger along side of his nose, resurrects up the chimney leaving an airborne wreath of second hand smoke.
One could make the case that Santa is Satan.
Ho, ho, ho! Let’s see.
OTOH, attribute shit/sin (see it anywhere in Creation) to God, that’s ALL you get . Got your lump of coal?
What separates a man from God? Merely his choosing to exercise his God given “right/free will” to make exceptions and receive the “knowledge of good and evil”, usually pawned off as reason and rationality. Would you judge God as you do your neighbor and folks “lesser” than yourself?
Receive Forgiveness thru your forgiveness. It works.
When the Light comes it is as darkness had not been.
Love,
Dad[/dad]
Better?
IDTS.

I see it. I wish I were drunk – maybe I would understand it then.

Here’s the thing: You _are_ that drunk, but I also see it. But then, you might be so drunk that you’re just seeing me see it and I’m not really here.

I picked the wrong week to stop doing coke.
Wonder if I can resign?

C’mon guys, it’s pretty easy to break down what he’s saying:
Essentially, a descriptively adequate grammar is to be regarded as a general convention regarding the forms of the grammar. On our assumptions, any associated supporting element is necessary to impose an interpretation on a descriptive fact. However, this assumption is not correct, since the notion of level of grammaticalness does not affect the structure of the strong generative capacity of the theory.
Of course, the fundamental error of regarding functional notions as categorial raises serious doubts about a parasitic gap construction. If the position of the trace in (99c) were only relatively inaccessible to movement, the systematic use of complex symbols cannot be arbitrary in the ultimate standard that determines the accuracy of any proposed grammar.

I think the wrong poster was drunk for this thread.

Heck. I thought I was still in the Great Debates forum–and I’ve only had a half a glass of wine, this evening, with dinner.
Re-opened.
Have fun.

Can I reply at least once before you close it? I think it’s addressed to me, after all.
Okay, I’m done. Close it.

You guys still are not getting it.
Here, I will continue to explain what he’s getting at:
He suggested that these results would follow from the assumption that a case of semigrammaticalness of a different sort delimits a stipulation to place the constructions into these various categories. Of course, relational information is not quite equivalent to the traditional practice of grammarians.
With this clarification, a descriptively adequate grammar may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. Clearly, the earlier discussion of deviance is necessary to impose an interpretation on an important distinction in language use.
This will bring evidence in favor of the following thesis: the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction cannot be arbitrary in a descriptive fact.

I recognize adhay’s name, which means he’s one of our resident lunatics, but I can’t place exactly what kind of lunacy he usually embodies.

No, but it goes well with Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon played backwards in a hurdy gurdy.
